I absolutely loved this novella!  The tight knit community of Sunderland gives the reader an intimate feel for the town, and its residents.  Though Rachel was an outsider, despite having childhood ties to the area the townspeople seemed to embrace her presence from the beginning.  Well, not everyone!  That is where Ms. Bourne cast the line and I was hooked!!I was amazed how the author was able to incorporate the chemistry between the couple from their very first encounter.  As a reader, I think the author did an amazing job making me believe that there would be more to this relationship, even though it appeared that Rachel and Aidan may consider it more of a "fling".I imagined Rachel Grant's character not to be perfect in appearance, but a more genuine beauty that could be seen inside and out!  The commitment to see her grandmother's last wishes fulfilled brought out the determination and the strength of her character, and made me want to cheer her on from the start.  Who would have thought a computer geek could be so tough!Aidan was the perfect gentleman and lover!!!  I didn't picture him as this perfect, gorgeous Englishman, but definitely handsome.  I fell in love with his caring and protective mannerisms.  The sex scenes were sensual and you could feel the intimacy growing from the moment they crossed over that line of acquaintances!  It was beautifully done!I loved everything about this read!!  From the suspense to the sex!!  The conclusion of this story was wonderful, and I literally had an "Awww" moment when I finished!  If you're looking for a quick romantic read that keeps you on the edge of you seat, you'll love Fractured Paradise!!!
