LOVED this book, it was a total surprise. Very few books draw me in like Up in the Air, All In, Bared To You, etc., but this book did. After reading This Man earlier in January, it was hard to find characters and a storyline that would keep me up all night, but thanks to Georgia Cates, I now have Laurelyn and Jack. This story had me riveted from the first page when Jack proposes an unusual arrangement to Laurelyn upon her arrival for a 3 month summer visit to Australia. She accepts and they embark on a smoking HOT relationship. I won’t call it a romance exactly, because neither one agrees to that, at least at first. Laurelyn has some self-esteem issues due to her upbringing but Jack recognizes her beauty and talent:
“You treat me like I’m somebody instead of a nobody.” – Laurelyn
There is some serious chemistry here and this book will keep you hooked.
“I’ve been wanting to devour this mouth since the first time I saw you.” – Jack
Love a book that keeps me a little challenged and I’ll admit I had to look up quite a few Australian slang words! My mini reference: Sanger- sandwich; Oldies – parents; Coldie – beer; brekkie – breakfast.
There is a cliffhanger ending, of course, but the author treats us to a delicious Prologue. The sex between Jack and Laurelyn is super steamy but I really felt a connection between the two characters, thanks to Ms. Cates’ inspired writing. More Jack please! And make it quick!
“Jack, you don’t always know the true worth of a woman’s love until it becomes a memory.”
