I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I really enjoyed the blurb for this so that is why I took a chance on it. I'm typically wary of books written by two authors because everyone's writing style is different and it could end up disastrous. Another plus for me was the hero is Scottish!
This book was okay for me. I wanted to love it beyond belief but it just didn't do it for me. That doesn't mean it wasn't a good book. The characters are well written and both authors did a great job with them. They had plenty of chemistry together which was something that I loved. This could be the best read for some of you and that is why I gave it four stars.
“Can I get your number?” he asks, catching my elbow to halt me and then letting it go just as fast.I still for a moment then look back and shake my head. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”He faintly tilts his head and studies me for a moment. The crystal blue of his eyes bore into me, breaking his stare I look over at Louise and Cami.“Charlotte,” he implores in his rich whiskey voice. I move my gaze back to him, shaking my head. “How long are you in town for?”“I’m here to stay,” I reply softly.A hint of a smile quirks on his lips. “Maybe we will run into each other again then.”“Perhaps,” I offer. “If we are meant to be friends, I’m sure the stars will align and we will meet again.” I was channeling my inner Louise with that line of rubbish. I have to bite the inside of my lower lip to keep myself from smiling.“You are very intriguing, Charlotte.”My name on his lips gives me pause, but I force myself to finish our goodbye. It’s for the best. This is the first day of my exciting new life, the last thing I want or need is to get tangled up in a messy break up. “I’ll catch you later,” I say with finality. Turning to walk away, I try to make a smooth departure but trip on air. One second I’m falling and the next I’m caught around my waist and lifted back up to my feet. I don’t even have a second to process what happened before he speaks.“Careful, kitten,” he murmurs close to my ear. “You’ll hurt yourself.”I shiver, goose bumps ripple down my arms. I turn around to look at him and our faces are too close for comfort. I take a step back so that I can breathe. “Thank you, I’m not usually so clumsy.”“It was my pleasure…What’s your last name?”I wonder for a moment if I want to give him that information, but then it comes unbidden from my lips. “Rose.”“Charlotte Rose.” He takes my hand, bending down to kiss my knuckles. “Until we meet again,” he says softly, and then he turns and walks away.
