I enjoyed the heck out of this book. It’s sweet, romantic, has two characters I enjoyed getting to know, and also had some hot headboard rockin’. What’s not to love?Well, it took a while to get to the core of Elise’s issues with intimacy, love, marriage, and all that stuff. And even then, I’m not sure I fully understand how they worked her into such a tizzy as far as commitment is concerned. But one thing Magdalen Braden does exceptionally well is stay true to her characters. When Elise struggles, she battles pain that is consistent to who she is, just as Jack’s decisions regarding their relationship are true to him.Ah, Jack. He is delectable, faithful readers. This is, after all, a man who fell in love upon first seeing Elise, and it is a man who declared said love publicly and openly in a court of law, where it goes ON THE RECORD, for goodness sake.I also liked Jack’s family, who is appropriately quirky but also fun and loving and everything Elise’s family is not. It’s easy to see how he became the self-assured, focused man he is. He looks at his life as he would a court case, something to be dissected, analyzed, and dispatched with in a series of logical, certain steps, after which he will emerge the victor.Alas for Jack, love doesn’t work that way.When Jack and Elise hit the sheets, they connect in ways that Elise won’t let them when they are fully clothed. Braden’s sexy times are hot but not too graphic. Still, the strapping on of a vibrator might be in order, just from picturing Jack.Ah, Jack.Give this book a try. You will enjoy it.Published on Carpe Libros@carpelibros
