Laela is a masseuse at a hotel in Jamaica. She has never crossed the line with her clients, but the first time she sees Alex she basically breaks her own rules. He takes one look at her and Boom! Has the same reaction. They have a really hot, smexy encounter and no matter how hard he tries to give her his contact info she says no, resigns from her job and they don’t see each other again. That is until she gets a new job as the caregiver of a woman in the U.S. She goes, gets settled in the house with her boss and in walks Alex! Apparently he has been married this whole time. Grrrrr.All right, just so you know, he isn’t a smarmy cheater. The two had been married for some time, had two children, but eventually fought each other constantly. She ignored her health until it was too late. His wife needed the caregiver because she is deathly ill. I mean that, she seems as if she could cross at any moment in this story. Anyway, Laela is still pretty much über attracted to Alex, and while they do nothing more than text each other, the two don’t have any personal bedroom time.Okay, just so you know, I hate what I like to call ‘Cheating Stories’. I have read a few before that I couldn’t honestly say were terrible, it was just the douchebag cheating husband that pushed me over the edge in those other stories. Alex was luckily not this kind of husband. If anything I thought his wife was a god-awful woman. So while I didn’t fall completely in love this story I didn’t finish it with a bad taste in my mouth. It is a short story, with a ton of emotion and care written into it, and I look forward to seeing what Ms. Calvert does with the next installment!
