Review: Rachael & Merrick
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 31, 2013
The Turtle Tear Resort renovations are completed & Rachael and Merrick wait for their family & friends to arrive. Secretly they long to be in their private paradise alone. Rachael's friend Shannon comes to the island & immediately is scoping out the men and that is the only reason why this short novel gets 4 stars. Rachael is worried about Shannon & searches for her, only to find her in the middle of a threesome! Shannon & the two men are so involved that they can't stop but I'm sure they notice Rachael in the room. Rachael is so turned on she goes in search of Merrick & is surprised to find him in the doorway, also watching & incredibly turned on. Wow, fanning my face just thinking about it! But the book would have only received 3 stars because I didn't like how Rachael handled a situation with Merrick's family. Merrick is almost retired, selling off the last of his properties when Merrick's sister lets it slip to Rachael in confidence that Merrick's ruthless, heartless father is the one buying the properties. Merrick's father wants to meet with Rachael, alone, & she goes off the island to meet with him which breaks Merrick's heart - he feels so betrayed! I understand why Rachael felt it was necessary to leave, she felt she was saving Merrick's future. But we know that Merrick isn't very mature socially & he is constantly afraid of losing Rachael & he is so deeply in love with her - of course he is going to be hurt when she talks to his father!! Merrick had confided in Rachael that his first sexual experience was with his babysitter when he was way too young to even be thinking about sex. Well, low & behold, that little fling will add a new twist to their story! I'm very excited about this storyline but I don't know if Merrick will ever get over Rachael doing some of these things, seemingly behind his back.
