Catherine you did an awesome job with this one. Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for Raul book. You Rock Catherine! ~ Goodreads Review
Catherine does a wonderful job of keeping the story interesting, with the love connection that grows very quickly for Ben and Greta being the center but there is a couple other small back stories. Her character growth is coming along in strides. ~ Goodreads Review
Ms. Scott does a wonderful job of weaving into to this a suspenseful plot that has many twists and turns. Things did not turn out the way I'd predicted. ~ Goodreads Review
Excerpt
He sat down in a chair and pulled her into his lap. Ben kissed her and Greta pulled his shirt up to trace the contours of his naked torso. When she pulled his shirt over his head he picked her up and wrapped her legs around his waist. After a few hilarious moments of fumbling towards the bedroom Ben released his hold on Greta so she could slide down his body. “It always seems really sexy in the movies.”
Greta stifled a laugh, “It was Ben, truly, but I think that in the movies they have some technical assistance, and maybe stunt people. Let’s just walk there.”

Review
4 stars
I did not read book one in this series and was not familiar with the characters but that didn't take away from the story. Ben is a nurturer, he takes care of those he cares for in any way he can. Greta had a rough upbringing and is recently widowed. She was in a loveless marriage and is trying to put her past behind her but her late husband's secrets may put an end to her future. Ben and Greta meet by chance and spend one night together, knowing it will never be enough they keep in touch. Ben is the one that's there for her when her world crashes down and she's looking at a possible murder charge. Even when Greta pushes him away Ben has hope, when he finds out her reasons for giving him up he fights for what he wants. |
