Zeke May has spent
the past two years recovering from an IED attack and trying to adjust to life
as a civilian. The veteran hiring program at denim empire Riley O’Brien &
Co. offers a new beginning. The only problem is the high cost of housing in San
Francisco, and Margo Lange could be the perfect solution.
Now that
Margo has completed veterinary school, she’s ready to fulfill her dream of living
in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, she’s drowning in student loan debt and the
only places she can afford are dumps. Luckily, one of her uncle’s Army buddies
needs a roommate.
Although
Zeke’s place is a perfect fit for Margo’s budget, he is not what she expects.
He’s much younger than her uncle, and he’s melt-your-panties hot. She doesn’t
want to fall for him, but it doesn’t take her long to realize that Zeke is the
perfect fit for her, regardless of their age gap. Too bad he’s so obviously
still in love with his ex-wife…
Margo
Lange left Ithaca after her apartment was broken into and landed in the place
that she always wanted to live…San Francisco. Thankfully her Uncle Dave's
ex-Army buddy Zeke May needed a roommate and he didn't mind her dog, so it was
a win-win on both accounts.
But
neither of them expected to be attracted to each other and Zeke decided to
fight his attraction to Margo. But after one night when their passions
collided, Zeke puts up walls and Margo is hurt, but it only get worse when
Zeke's ex-wife turns up!
I
have to say that this novella packs a punch! It honestly doesn't feel like a
novella; its detailed, doesn't feel rushed and it truly is a joy to read. I'm
now desperate not the next book in this series and I'm hoping it's either Cal's
or Jakes story!!
So
let's get to the basics of this novella; Its and enjoyable short read that is
written so well that it feels like a larger book. The writing is smooth and I
didn't find any plot holes, with the main characters. I loved the way that the
author didn't play down the PTSD that the character Zeke had, but was detailed
in the symptoms that he suffered with.
Overall
I found that The Perfect Fit was a perfect fit for me and that is why I gave it
5 stars!
As Zeke stood in the elevator in the Four Seasons, he
ran his hand over his hair, searching for any unruly strands. Satisfied that
everything was in order, he adjusted the French cuffs of his bright white
tuxedo shirt and furtively checked his fly to make sure it was zipped.
Never in his life had he showered, shaved, and dressed
as quickly as he had tonight. He was surprised he’d only nicked himself once.
Even
though he’d driven like a maniac to get to the hotel as fast as humanly
possible, he was still forty-five minutes late. He hated being late, regardless
of the circumstances. But his tardiness tonight was even more unacceptable
because Margo had been counting on him.
Because of stupid softball game, she’d had to take a
taxi in an evening gown. She was probably livid, and he couldn’t blame her.
Why hadn’t he just left the game early? Better yet, why
hadn’t he declined Margo’s invitation to attend Pictures & Paws?
He should have. But he’d hated the thought of her going
to this type of event alone. And, if he were honest with himself, he would
admit that he’d wanted to go with her, even if it was a monumentally bad idea.
Being around her was torture. A couple of days ago, he’d accidently bumped into her in
the kitchen, his front grazing her back. That small touch had created a big
problem … behind his zipper.
Ever since that day when he had retrieved Margo’s
panties from Roby’s paws, Zeke had tried—and failed—to push her back into the
roommate-only zone. But those tiny panties had already done their damage.
Whenever they were together, he constantly thought
about what she wore underneath her clothes. He even thought about it when they
weren’t together.
His dormant libido had awakened, and now the damn thing
was boiling like an active volcano. It could erupt at any time.
Zeke should be happy that his penis had returned to its
normal operations. But he wasn’t.
Instead, he was frustrated and edgy and hard all the fucking time.
He didn’t understand why this was happening now. And he
sure as hell didn’t understand why it was happening with Margo.
It didn’t happen with anyone else.
Today, during the softball game, a pretty woman on the
opposing team had run into him. The force of the impact had knocked them to the
ground, with her sprawled on top.
She’d been a sweet-smelling, curvy armful. And his
penis had been uninterested.
If it could talk, it would have said, I’m bored. But around Margo, it said, Mmm, I want some of that.
Of course, his dick didn’t care about the eleven-year
age gap between them. And it didn’t care that she had her whole life ahead of
her, while he had already lived a big portion of his.
Finally, the elevator reached the fifth floor. When he
stepped out, he immediately began to look for Margo. No matter where they were,
her bright hair made it easy to spot her.
After searching the area where the pictures were
displayed and the ballroom where dinner would be served, he wandered onto the
terrace. The huge space overlooked Yerba Buena Gardens, and the surrounding
buildings provided plenty of light.
He surveyed the small group of people on the terrace.
His gaze landed on a woman with vibrant reddish-gold hair. She was a little
taller than Margo, and her hair was wavy instead of straight. Her back was to
him, the flawless skin exposed by her form-fitting dress.
Damn, that dress is
something else.
The dress’s lace overlay gave the impression that she
was naked underneath. And the way it hugged her curvy hips and cupped her round
ass … that should be prohibited in public venues to prevent riots.
Wait … he recognized that ass. He saw it—stared at
it—every day.
The woman in the sexy dress was Margo. And the moment
his dick realized that fact, it woke up from its nap and did a couple of
stretches in preparation for vigorous exercise.
Zeke took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. For a brief
moment, he thought about turning around, going back home, and locking himself
in his bedroom until this insanity passed.
But then Margo glanced in his direction. And he knew,
without a doubt, that he wasn’t going anywhere.
