The Millionaire Affair
by Jessica Lemmon
“I remember you.”
Let me first start by saying Landon is definitely my favorite Downey brother, and this is my favorite book in the series. This is just amazing, it just blows you away and I can't recommend it enough. It's even kind of hard to find the words for this review as nothing seems to be enough for what I want to say.
“Dorothy and the Tin Man,”
“You’re not that heartless,” she said. “And I’m not that innocent.”
Landon is emotionally closed-off and a planner who follows reason. Kimber wears her heart on her sleeve and follows her emotions. He doesn't want a relationship because he's never truly had one, and because of something in his past. She doesn't either, but simply because she gets too attached, too quickly, and because there's something in her past as well.
"Lord in heaven. She looks like a 1940s wet dream."
Yes, there's instant attraction. In fact, Kimber's attraction for Landon has been there since she was a teenager, but now he's sooo returning it. And what starts as an "arrangement", or a list, soon turns into something that neither of them was expecting to find. In the meantime, yes, you'll find A LOT of steamy scenes in this book, as you'd imagine from one of Jessica's books.
"She was scrappy. He was refined. She was mac-and-cheese-from-a-box. He was Tuna Tartare."
It's lovely to see how their story progresses. How they realize it doesn't matter how you see yourself or where you come from, if you're rich or not doing so well, if you wear designer suits or mended vintage clothes. Life (and love) is so much more than that.
"All because… because she was trying to be someone she wasn’t. Because she’d allowed her past to predict her future."
It's kind of hard to let go of your past and to believe whatever happened before won't happen again - because lightning sometimes does strike twice. But once they were able to move past it, to understand what was going on between them, this was all kinds of sweet. And loving. And emotional. And heartbreaking. And yes, happy, finally happy.
"He traced the line of her delicate neck to the arms that had once held on to him like he was her port in a storm."
Landon saves Kimber as much as she saves him back. He is her port in a storm, any storm, and he would do anything for her. And she shows him he's not the Tin Man, that his heart is in the right place and that he is deserving of his own port in a storm.
And I do believe they can weather out whatever is thrown their way.
