This is a story that takes you from Coventry to Paris to Edinburgh to Cardiff to Las Vegas and is full of action, secrets and betrayal.Distraction and Desire is written purely from the POV of Joanna, who is absolutely devastated at the start from the break up of her relationship. She is struggling to deal with the bereft feelings and cuts herself off from family and friends. Her brother though is persistent and together they set off to Paris. It is here that she meets the enigmatic businessman Nathan Jones. The attraction between them is instant and intense but everything is not as it seems as Nathan reveals his secrets to her. These have the potential of destroying their fragile, fledgling relationship.Nathan is a CIA agent as well as a successful businessman and is on the trail of a Mafia boss. His attraction to Joanna is deep, pure and intense. Whilst he is strong and certain, when it comes to Joanna he is protective and a little bit needy. He sees Joanna as his salvation from his past.One thing is certain in this story: trust no-one. There are lots of twists and turns along the way as Nathan tries to bring down the Mafia boss and protect Joanna from harm. Whilst the story has a tendency to jump around, it is still a good read and with the cliffhanger at the end I will definitely be following up with the next in the series. It is a really promising start to a new series.
