This was my first Ophelia London book. It seems like I have a knack for reading series backwards, but I didn’t even realise it was part of a series, because it’s such a brilliant standalone romance and it definitely got me hooked on the author.When you take a man who has quite the reputation regarding woman (his nickname is Big Game Hunter), add in that he is and will probably always be in the Army, you really don’t have a good impression of him at all. Then on top of that he lies (by omission, but still). But hell if he doesn’t make you go weak at the knees, well then there’s probably something wrong with you.When I read a book that pulls me in, I completely live the story and connect with the characters, which is why I really wanted to kick Charlie in his babymaker for not telling Ellie the truth sooner. I felt Ellie’s pain at the lie and the way the truth came out, was not one of the best ways. I mean the woman was basically using every ounce of her willpower not to write off her man-free-for-a-year resolution. And hell Ellie really deserved the truth because she is so freaking amazing, you can’t help but girl-crush on her.The attraction and harmony between the two characters are off the charts and it really comes through in some of the very, very hot dancing scenes. It was so Dirty Dancing, and sexy that my heart bounced right out of my chest. Then Charlie goes and pulls the stunt to make everything right again and I turned into a very messy version of myself. So many happy tears were shed at the end of this book, that Ophelia London definitely deserves a standing ovation.
