Teaser:
“This night didn’t turn out like I’d
planned,” he said, running his fingers through my hair. ‘It was supposed to be
romance, candlelight, and dinner first.”
I lifted my head to look at him and
raised my eyebrows.
“I wanted to give you the movie
version.”
“Oh,” I said realization setting in.
“Well, this is much better than the movie version. If this were the movies, I’d
be watching the love story happen on the screen. In this version, the good
stuff happens to me” I said resting my chin on his chest,
He peered down at me and brushed a
strand of hair away from my face. ‘Yeah, this is so much better than the
movies.” He kissed me long and hard until I forgot my name, forgot where I was,
and even forgot how to breathe. “Here,” he breathed, “I get the girl.”
I felt his length harden below me
against my stomach. I guessed if this were our movie, part two was going to
start real soon.
Review:
This book
is set in Chicago, IL and is about Beth moving there and starting a job fresh
from college while trying to put her past behind her. During one of her first
days on the job she meets playboy Kent who is the heir to one of the plant
companies her employers are in business with. While she finds his gorgeous and
has an immediate attraction to him, his lack of drive and ambition turns her
off greatly. So when he offers to take her on a tour of one of the plant sites,
he surprises not only his father but Beth as well.
This trip
is the start of an interesting friendship that Beth comes to depend on just as
much as her best friend back home. He is the one she turns to when she is
trying to get advice about dating a coworker and he is the one she gushes to
when she wants to talk about her dates. So when it turns out that Kent needs
her help with something, and offers to pay off her debt, she does it with
little hesitation. What she didn’t count on was not only falling for her best
friend but also his family. How is she
supposed to survive this if things end badly?
I really enjoyed
reading this book. I had a lot of problems putting it down once I got started.
I let my housework for the day go unattended and only put it down when needing
to focus on my kids, and was still able to get the whole thing read in less
than 12 hours. I would totally recommend this book to my friends and will be telling
them about it asap, not only in my blog, but in person as well. I can’t wait to
see if Mia has any other books out there, and if she does I am going to get
started on them immediately!
