BLURB
I’ve got to admit, life is sweet these days. As a starting NFL quarterback, I do okay, and I haven’t been lacking for female companionship. But I’d give it all up in a heartbeat if I could get back the woman I loved and lost—my ex-wife, Katy.
Now I’m at a wedding, watching one of my best friends tie the knot. I’m happy for him—really. I just wish things had turned out better when I’d taken that walk down the aisle. Still, those days are over.
I’m on my way up to my room when I run into my ex in the elevator. It’s like karma. Has to be. Only she’s with some random guy, who’s getting a little too handsy for my liking. I can’t help myself—I have to say something. Something that ruins her night…and mine, too.
Now, I’m sitting alone in my hotel room, when suddenly, Katy’s at my door, complaining that I ruined her 30th birthday. Her solution—that I give her the night of sexual adventure I’d derailed in the elevator.
I never was very good at saying no to her...
The blur of this book sounds like a really good story, unfortunately for me wasn’t all what I was expecting.
The characters almost lost me at the beginning, but I was hopping that with such a good synopsis it has to be good.
Well I do liked the male hero, he’s such a good guy, very noble and caring person, and that’s one of the reason that I think I decided to keep reading, sure he make mistakes in his marriage but Katy wasn’t specially someone you feel sorry, in fact her attitude feels so selfish, she wants and take advantage of Grant when she needs to please her boss so he don’t fire her.
I honestly never connect with the couple, at least not on how much they supposedly be in love, but I believe Grant, he does catch me and keep me reading until I finish the book, maybe is because with him the author portrait a very kind, caring human who wants to be a father and was planning on adopting a kid from his charity project, that’s something I always love to see and read on books.
The book is definitely a good read, I just wished that the heroine be more confident about herself and maybe that way she stands and fight for her happiness, I guess that’s why she’s so dependent and try to pleases everyone besides her self and at my eyes her character never really attract me.
As I always say, read the book and come up with your own opinion, this book my surprise you on a different way :)
Thank you to the author and #indiesagepr for the advanced copy on exchange for my honest opinion.
