First thing that comes to my mind when reading this book is freakin’ hot. The second thing that came to my mind was where is my hot, French photographer neighbor? I want one! Ha ha!At first, I thought Claire and John had this hot life, except for the fact he is at work a lot dealing with a hard client, Dan, and Claire is at home, bored even though she has tried some hobbies, nothing seemed to capture her interest…..well except for one, spying on that drop dead gorgeous neighbor of hers.From their first encounter, I could feel the sexual tension coming off of my kindle. There was something about Martin (and dare I say when John referred to him as Mar-ten, made my knees weak. Swoon!) that was so mysteriously sexy. Could it just be his accent, just imagining that sexy French accent….woah!When Claire invites him to dinner as a nice gesture to welcome him to the neighborhood, she knew she was in too far with Martin, even if only in her fantasies where Mr. Happy was “helping” her.I kind of didn’t like John from the beginning and now that I am done the book, I still don’t. I don’t know why in the beginning I didn’t like him, maybe it was because he was at work all the time or the fact he left his hot, very horny wife on the kitchen table to go “take care” of his client….I mean whose husband does that? I know mine wouldn’t!I literally laughed out loud with Claire’s reaction to the type of photos Martin takes. Priceless. If it had not been clear before that, it was clear now….she wanted him. So what does she do, goes to ask Martin the next day about a photo shoot for a birthday present for John; why not, right? It is just harmless photos; or so she thinks. When Martin tells her today or he couldn’t do them, she agrees and with some alcohol in her system, really opens up *cough, cough* to the photo shoot. When he started describing her fantasy, I wanted to jump through my kindle and take Claire’s place. It was seriously hot!I found John’s reaction funny to the photo album, even more so towards the end of the book. Let’s just say, he has NO ROOM to talk! I mean he was acting like a big baby, even after they both confirmed nothing happened, he still went and hurt my poor Martin, yep I said it my poor Martin! Although I am sure my husband’s response would have been the same as Johns even if nothing happened, knowing deep down that his wife was attracted to the extremely hot neighbor.Then you add Sylvie, Martin’s wife, to the mix and it took this book up about 100 notches! She is a pistol let me tell you. I am not sure how I would have reacted if she came onto me like she did Claire, but I gotta admit the whole next scene between the 4 of them was erotically hot, and I may have just done exactly what Claire did! And I just wanted Martin to touch Claire, hell I was willing him to touch her through my Kindle. But while I found Sylvie hot, I found her extremely pushy and maybe a too open for Claire to handle, but then again throw caution to the wind and live in the moment, right?I didn’t like the whole baby pushing that John was doing to Claire. Could he clearly not see and hear she wasn’t ready? I mean damn! That is not a decision you can just push someone into, badger them, and bring your family in to sway her decision. Like I said before, I didn’t like him at all!I read both endings to this book and I can say hands down, I would choose Martin’s ending over Johns any day! To me John’s ending had me wanting to reach in this book and smack Claire for taking John back after the whole Dan (Danielle) & Cam affair. I don’t condone cheating but I so wanted this ending. And the scene that played out in Martin’s ending was just as hot as I had hoped it would be! And at least with Martin’s ending, Claire is free to live her life for her and not be tied down to John and a family that she honestly in her heart does not want.You have officially have done it Daire St. Denis, I’m hooked! I cannot wait to read more and I am hoping there is more of Martin and Claire (hell just Martin would be great but the two of them are hot together.) I recommend this to everyone and anyone!View more of our reviews at welovekink.com
