I had won this book in a giveaway quite a while ago and it was lingering on my Kindle for far too long!  I decided it was about time to give it a good reading, and so I did just that.  It is the first book I have read by the author, Amy Andrews, so I’m not sure what her others are like but if this is any indication as to what that would be, I would say that they are must reads.This book is one that has romance and over 18 years of age sex scenes like many others in the same category this book falls into but it also has many other characteristics that make it stand out.  It has characters that instantly trap you in their world to the point you really don’t want to put the book down.  One of the main characters, Addie, is so much fun that you can’t help liking her and cheering her on even though there are times (especially near-ish to the end) you want to give her a swift (but not a painful) kick in the butt or shake her a bit to get her to… well, I’m not telling that part, you have to read it and see if you feel the same way when it gets to the part I’m referring to that I’m not telling you about because I’m not ruining the book for you!  Go read it! It’s good.  Anyway, all of the characters, even the ones that play smaller roles, including Nathaniel’s PA and Addie’s friend Penny, come to life and seem so real in such short moments.  The author does an amazing job in the writing of characters.There were some very steamy sex scenes in the book but what I liked was that the very first one seemed to take quite a while to get to.  The story built up first so that it actually made sense as to why and when it happened.  You knew it was coming, but you couldn’t really see how it would make sense or be more than just a gratuitous sex scene but when it happened, it made sense and it was what made the second part of the book work so well.  It was written in perfectly in order to keep the characters likeable and relatable and also to keep the story going smoothly.This book also has an amazing storyline from start to finish that never falters.  It flows freely and doesn’t leave you scratching your head trying to figure out how you got from point A to point B.  It flows perfectly and the plot wraps up nicely.  It was 144 pages and it was perfect as it was but I’d be lying if I were to type here that I didn’t wish it was 144 more.  I’ll miss the characters and the world created for them within the pages.  It was a nice trip across the Atlantic and I’ll miss the city and the countryside visited within.I really enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to checking out more from the author. This book was well written and one I’m certainly glad I took the time to read.  Give it a shot if you like steamy romances with characters that will stay with you even after you’ve finished the book.  It’s just a good fun read worth your time.
