What happens when the worlds of two tortured souls collide?
Angelina
Bradshaw has always believed that she does not need a man in her life.
That's what she has been telling herself her entire adult life. She
feels worlds apart from her family’s dreams for her to meet a man,
settle down, and have babies. She certainly can’t be doing that because
love just gets in the way. She has a 'go to' guy and that's enough for
her.
Living in rural Cornwall, she is bored and in desperate
need of adventure, so when a family friend offers her a job in London,
there's no hesitation. She expected adventure, she expected a new start,
but what she didn't expect was to meet a man who would turn her life
upside-down. Seth Jacobs is hot, sexy, and can't understand why Angelina
doesn't want him. No one has ever said no to Seth Jacobs—in fact—they
all fall at his feet.
Seth pursues her relentlessly and Angelina
fights him at every corner. He is the only man who has ever affected
her, and the need to run from him is immense. However, Seth is not one
to give up so easily. He soon finds himself on a mission, determined to
win her heart.
Unfortunately for Angelina, all is not well when
her past and present collide after receiving some unwelcoming and
frightening news from home. She feels desperate and alone, but most of
all, she feels she has to push Seth away before it’s too late.
To
make matters worse, a catastrophic secret from the past is revealed,
threatening to destroy the one thing, Angelina finally holds dear to her
heart.
I truly
loved this book, even though it brought out extreme emotions in me. But in my
opinion, if a book doesn't evoke an emotion it’s not a good book! We meet
Angelina the morning of her sister’s wedding and the day before she escapes to
London. She feels that this will give her a fresh start. With one last fling
she says good bye to Cornwall. When she meets Seth for the first time he sparks
all sorts of emotions within her and that makes her angry, which she tells him bluntly?
She is trying to protect herself and her past, but she is not the only one!
Angelina's character is complex, which I love! She is a straight shooting
professional when at work, unless it’s with Seth and then its balls to the wall
hostility and sexual tension.
I like
Angelina a lot but she runs A LOT! Really! Where does she get the energy! Seth
character in the beginning is one of a playboy and his bunnies! But we quickly
finds that he is using them just as a shield, all he wants is his
"Cookie" (Angelina) and is determined to have her! This book is well
written, flows seamlessly and sparks emotion.
It is a
stand-alone and the plot twists will astound you! It deals with lots of mature
issues, so if you are looking for some flighty, light hearted romance this book
is not for you! If you want lead characters with issues and hot sex, it’s
perfect! This book earns 10 out of 10 for emotionally devastating me and
restoring my faith in true love all at the same time.
