Adeline and Jordan meet, have sex, part, and then come face to face again at work where Adeline is beginning a prestigious internship. Jordan is a principle architect in the firm and was of course unaware who Adeline was when he brought her home for a one night stand. I think I've read something similar to this story line recently but it didn't keep me from diving right into Restoring Jordan and relishing all of it. What makes this a good book isn't the originality of the storyline or lack thereof. It's Elizabeth Finn's writing style.I love a book that starts with a bang. No waiting, no history, just draw me in and heat me up. And Restoring Jordan definitely does that, starting with a sizzling encounter between the two main characters that begins in a crowded bar in a darkened hallway."I do not care what this man does to my body. I just want it to be him. I have no excuse for my want. I have no cause for my sudden uncontrollable urge to give myself to this stranger. I have no purpose for my long overdue need for this. I've set this part of my life aside for so long. I've denied and refused to pay it any attention, and now it yearns, begs to get out."Even after Adeline and Jordan give in to their desires, both struggle with the feelings that develop for each other."I don't know Adeline, but I crave her anyway. She's far too young, she's far too innocent for an ________ like me, but I want her to belong to me, I want to protect her and fight for her, and I'll be damned if I can figure out why."Immediately upon reading Restoring Jordan I was reminded of how much I enjoyed Elizabeth Finn's writing style in Brother's Keeper which was a FIVE STAR read for me. I'm actually wondering why I waited so long to read this book after enjoying her first book so much. Elizabeth Finn is such a talented author. She doesn't have to try too hard for the story to be really hot. Nothing seems contrived or over the top. Her writing is not only sexy to the tenth degree but also very sensual. When Adeline goes to Jordan's home that first night, I found myself holding my breath...wondering what's next? There's a certain sexual intensity that comes across in her writing that is so hot to read. It's not just the sex scenes either. I found the entire book to be incredibly steamy and can't wait to read more from this author. A solid 4.5 book. Definitely a must read author for me going forward
