I laugh and find myself tempted by her hand, which sits on the metal table. After our impromptu snogging session, Jade put on a nice little sundress which has my imagination running wild and some strappy sandals. Her toes are painted a turquoise blue. I found it a little weird at first; normally I see reds or pinks on toes, but rarely a blue colour. I quite like it. I like it a lot. In fact, I’ve yet to find something about this woman I don’t like.
“And yet, you didn’t. I came over and kissed you. You could’ve punched me, kicked me in the nuts, or groped me. I’m grateful you let me kiss you the way I did.”
She blushes again. “Why did you? I’m sure there are other, more beautiful women at the resort that would’ve been happy to oblige you.”
“But then I wouldn’t be here with my pretend wife, trying to get to know more about her.”
Her eyes don’t waver from mine as she takes a sip of her cocktail. “Do you really want to get to know me?”
“The fake you, yes. I don’t want to get cornered by one of the triplets and not know my facts.”
“Are they in fact, triplets?”
I shake my head. “I haven’t got a bloody clue, to be honest with you. Fake tits all look the same at the end of the day.”
Her mouth falls open into a sexy little O and images of other ways I can make that happen pop straight into mind. “I named them Muffy, Tuffy, and Buffy. The names seemed fitting,” she says with a shrug.
I crack the fuck up. “Then that is what we’ll call them until they leave.”
“Do you know when that is? Or what room they’re in?”
I lean over the table and pick her hand up. “They leave after us, and no, I don’t, thank goodness. I don’t care either. I made you a promise and I always keep my promises.” I bring her hand to my lips and let them linger against her skin until a passer-by makes a comment about us being in love.
Not love, lust though, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose her to be my distraction this week. When I finally let go of her hand, she picks up her drink and finishes it.
“Want another one?” I ask, already standing by the time she nods. I lean down and kiss the top of her head, inhaling the scent of her shampoo. The smell of grapefruit assaults my senses, making my heart race. I groan as I walk into the restaurant. I could’ve easily waited for the waitress to come back to us, but I needed to step away from Jade for a minute. She’s fucking deadly with her innocent façade and I have a strong reason to believe I’m going to fall victim to her and love every minute of it.
When I walk out, there’s a bloke talking to her as if it’s an everyday occurrence. I have never been jealous of any man until now. The pure rage I feel, watching him talk to my pretend wife almost takes over my body, yet I find the will to let it go. Who am I to stand in the way of her potential hook-ups?
This book was a blind sign up for the blog that I review for...I took a leap of faith without knowing the title or the synopsis on reading Heidi McLaughlin's latest book and boy am I happy I did!!
While the title of this book may lead some readers to infer that this book is nothing more than pages filled with never ending sex...you couldn't be more wrong. I absolutely loved Jackson & Jade/Story's story and I turned each page with a hope that they would have a happy ending.
Story took a vacation to Bermuda on her own at her best friend Jackie's insistence. After checking in she spots a beautiful man across the lobby and fantasizes what it would be like to be with someone like him. What Story did not expect was for that man to be in the room adjoining her nor did she expect a smoldering kiss by the pool.
Jay Collins needs a holiday before he relocates across the pond to continue expanding his family empire. When he sees Story he cannot resist the pull he has toward her so he agrees to her crazy idea of giving each other fake names and no real details while pretending that they are husband and wife.
What happens between this couple is magically, not only because of their location, but also because of the past that each has encountered that shapes who they are and how they view certain things. When reality and fantasy collide after vacation is over, sparks fly, but you will need to read (and I recommend you do) to find out if they are good or bad.
