Lauren has decided her
marriage is over, but has yet to tell Jay, her abusive husband of the
past twenty five years. On a night out with girlfriends, she has a few
drinks and musters the courage to shamefully come clean over the abuse
she has suffered over the years.
Gabriel joins his brothers for a friday night drink at a local bar, thirty five, good looking and single after a very brief, failed marriage, all he is ever on the lookout for is a hook up....Even names aren't important to him...Straight sex, no complications.
Watch as their worlds collide, neither of them prepared for the effect each will have on the other. The chemistry is instant and overwhelming and has the possibility to destroy them but will the mind blowing sex be enough to keep them together and overcome each of their pasts?
Their story is sometimes harrowing and heartbreaking and touches on subjects all too often avoided. Don't expect a hearts and flowers romance read, although that is there too, along with some very funny moments.

This book wasn’t at all what I thought it would be, in the
slightest. And I think the reason why is
because of the cover. I had a feeling
that this book had a slight paranormal feel to it, just based upon the cover,
but there wasn’t anything like that at all in the book.
But I still pushed through with the book! And I have to say that I have complete mixed
feelings with the book while reading it and now after having finished it, I
still have mixed emotions. The storyline
itself was interesting; Lauren is a 45 year old woman who is leaving her
abusive husband. I give her mad props
for that because honestly she should have!
She meets Gabriel and the sparks start to fly. And I do mean SPARKS.
I don’t really like Lauren’s character, at all. I’m sure this part will get me into some
trouble by someone, but the woman is 45 with 2 grown children. She didn’t really act like she had children
and actually towards the end of the book the only time her children were mentioned
is when Gabriel brings them up.
Now with Gabriel’s character, I am in complete awe after
what he had been though that he was still able to still have his life the way
that it was. You could tell the feelings
that he had towards Lauren almost right from the start. He really did care about her and was willing
to do anything to be with her.
The ending?
Absolutely couldn’t stand it. I
did receive and arc of this book for the tour, but when I got to the ending of
the book and with the way it ends, I did actually purchase my own copy from
amazon just to see if I had missed something.
Turns out I was completely wrong.
Overall, I’m unsure if I will read anything else from this
author in the future. I just couldn’t
seem to connect with Lauren and that made me lose a lot from the story itself.
I was born and raised in a small working
class town in Essex, just outside of East London. I am married with three sons
and in 2006 we all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the
beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about 50K outside of Melbourne Australia. It's
a whole new way of life for us down here,we are so lucky to live in such a
beautiful part of the world.
I am currently a stay at home mum but in
the past I have worked at Marks & Spencer, as a classroom
assistant/teachers aid and have run my business.
As well as writing, I love to read and
have been known to get through four or five books a week. My other interests
are watching my boys play football...The round ball version; I am happy to
admit to being an addict of social media and I owe a lot to my Facebook and
Twitter family in promoting my work; I am also rather partial to a glass... or
bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favorite. Being
a born and raised Essex girl, I will happily admit to be being a big fan of
spray tans, Shellac and am regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although I am
more likely to be found in thongs/flipflops than a pair of white stilettos
these days.
