paddlefoot55 's review for:
Floored
by Ainslie Paton
ARC received from Harlequin Enterprises Australia/Escape Publishing via Netgalley for honest review
I have been a fan of Ms Paton's work since I read Detained - if you haven't read it, go do it ~ NOW. And I was very excited to get an advanced copy of Floored to read and review (especially after seeing the cover with Mr Visible Panty Line~!!
And I was definitely not disappointed.
Floored is an Aussie road trip story, with a bit of an Underbelly/Sons of Anarchy feel to it, with a dose of romance thrown in for good measure.
Fetch/Sean is the messenger boy for Wacker,, president of an outlaw motor cycle club. As you expect, they are into all kinds of illegal activities ~ drugs, money laundering. He's the butt of all their jokes, a little slow on the uptake.
Or is he??
Caitlyn/Driver has troubles in her past she is trying to avoid. Now working as a hire car driver, the last thing she expects is a biker to jump in the back of her car. As scared as she is of him, she is drawn to him. He can't be all that bad, right? Even if he is getting her to drive him to his drop offs all over town.
When things take a bad turn, that's when things start to heat up.
Buckle up, because you are about to be taken on one hell of a ride!
Australia is a big country, and when Fetch/Driver - Sean/Cait take on a cross country drive, things start to heat up! Not much to do on a 4,000km road trip but get to know each other.
And get to know each other they do! There is still a lot of mistrust between the pair, but that simmering attraction has to lead to a little something-something.
Of course, pasts never stay in the past, but how will it affect Sean and Cait?
Uh uh, not telling.
One thing I always love about Ms Paton's work is, being a fellow Australian I know about/have been to many of the places she is writing about, and it makes it a lot easier to picture for a change - yay!!
And another thing that I loved ~ Ms Paton does not romanticise the life of the outlaw motorcycle clubs. We get the dirt, the grit, the downright horrible side of that lifestyle.
Ms Paton doesn't write a traditional romance, so you never know what you are going to get when you pick up one of her novels. When things went well for Sean/Cait I couldn't help but smile. When things went bad, I might have shed a tear.
If you are after a romance with a lot of twists and turns in the road, make sure you check out Floored, and any of Ms Paton's work for that matter.
Now, what to you have for us next?
