A Stand-alone Novel

My Review:

I was asked by Jani to read/review this book for her, and Wow I am pleased I did as this is frikkin awesome on many a level.

Nicholas has been hurt terribly before at the hands of his cousin Jonathan, can he let go of his emotions and relax enough to fall for the little lamb who has befriended him.

Although he is named as one of the most eligible bachelors, in truth he is to afraid to have any emotion, as his heart breaks too easily.

Their by chance meeting at an art gallery lifts the lid on lots of hidden emotions for both Nick and Natalie, and their relationship forms as naturally as getting out of bed each morning, and he loves to see that he is able to wash the sadness finally from her eyes, as that seemed to accompany her always, he knew she had been terribly hurt also but until she trusted him enough to confide in him, he would not push her to reveal her secrets.

Nick is Natalie's tour guide while she is staying in New York, he is her lover and confidante and their relationship is just taking off the ground, where true feelings and emotions have been exchanged.

You can't help it, you just fall for Nick, he bends over backwards to make Natalie's stay absolutely the most special time that she has experienced.
He has wealth and contacts and she has not much in life to look forward to, and he treats her like a princess and walks the red carpet for her.

And then the inevitable call from home comes and sends everything into turmoil,

Natalie must fly back home straight away her estranged husband has had a sever heart attack and her children need her.

While she is home, she finds she has to be the sole carer of her husband while he recuperates, will this be a hindrance or will it awake sleeping feelings for them both.

Gabriel has had time to reflect on life and decides he wants Natalie back at all costs, but what will those costs mean to her.

This is about the time you want to put on your most pointy stilettos and kick her right up the jacksie, for the decision that she makes, it is absolutely infuriating you want to just throw your kindle against the wall and say you

Stupid F***N Bitch Wake The F**K Up.

Or at least be given access to her phone number so you can txt bomb her phone until she finally sees sense or at least listens to the points you want her to hear you, your prepared to scream if she will just connect with your thoughts.

Her actions will now play out to build gaps, will it be good for her, will it not, we will have to read more and see.

Any more information will spoil the storyline for you, but If I'M honest I would of taken the exact same path as Natalie had, we think alike in that respect.

This book took me through so many emotions, it had me crying, it had me laughing and it also had me in a rage, and I really did want to txt bomb Natalie or at least shake some sense into her, so it is a definite 5 star book for me as it hit me emotionally.

A little about the author:

Jani has been married for a long time to a special man, and her two children and their partners are the sunshine in her life. She is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar on a book - always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through someone else's eyes.

Besides reading, her favourite 'thing' is travelling - she has travelled the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realisation that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things. Her hobby - Scrap booking - keeps her up till way after midnight and her usual subjects are her family and her travels.

Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness - arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately desires
