Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 22, 2013
A beautiful love story full of heartache, laughs and drama of Rosie’s unrequited love for her best friend’s (Bronte) brother Alexander whom she has loved from afar since her 16th and had a childhood crush since 10. A secret she has kept to herself and finally realising how lonely she truly is with all her friends married or living afar. Also realising her dreams will not come to fruition and are well and truly broken she decides to visit her parents in Cyprus and then move onto New York to further her career.There are 6 weeks until the move and the tension between Rosie and Alexander is electric, causing fights, as neither seems to admit to the other their feelings are more than that of a brother and sister. The heat between the two flares in all directions, making the reader (moi) yearn for the two to open their eyes and heart and just get to it!What keeps these two apart is the sizzle, the fear of losing control of body, heart and soul, miscommunication, and struggling to admit true feelings.It’s sweet yet so erotic, with a hero that is so in love and romantic and always putting his lady first. It’s every woman’s dream, so very loving yet so passionate and sensuous.When Alexander at times loses all sense of control, becoming hot and heavy and passionate with no finesse, as often occurs throughout the story it ends with a laugh for the reader. Rosie possesses a spunk and strength that is partly self-preservation. It is such an erotic and passionate tale yet so amusing I noticed myself at times laughing out loud. There is no putting this novel down.Rosie trying for a fling and Alexander catching her having dinner with Josh (his friend) finally sees Rosie for who she is, as a grown sexy woman, not the child that had a crush on him so many years ago. His jealousy is enraged when he overhears their conversation and Rosie’s take on him, and when Bronte admits that Rosie had “dated” a pilot named Andrew whom broke her heart, hence why the move o/seas, Alexander becomes a stone age alpha male wanting his woman! Years of repressed feelings have Alexander lose all control in the art of romancing and wooing of a woman and he just takes with as much craze as a starved hetro alpha male. He’s delicious!Secondary characters in the book such as Bronte & Nico have an amazing story of their own to tell, the Ferranti family and the amazing heat between the two. After realising this I have to be honest I searched and found to my delight there is a whole series based on the Rosie, Bronte and friends. Can’t wait to read the next and first in the series, Bronte and Nico…YUMMYJosh and Nico as the two meddling friends are also absolute laughs that appear like meddling mothers.I as is obvious loved this story and recommend it in a heartbeat!
