It's 5:00 in the morning and she is in the backseat wearing new pajamas with a small carrying case of clothes and toiletries all at the generosity of her best friend Summer and her fiance Max. They are currently driving her the Max's brother's townhouse so she can be away from everyone as she decides what she is going to do next.
It had only been a few hours since Delaney had run, leaving her fiance at the altar, but she just couldn't go through with it. She despised the man and only had gotten that far because of her mom's bullying. All night she had nightmares that had Mitch sprouting wings and his sharp talons sinking into her to return her back to the church.
When they finally arrived she looks through the window in shock...townhouse? They were approaching a mini-mansion with a four-car garage. Summer and Max were leaving for a trip out of the country and assured her that she would be alone as his brother David was out of town.
The owner's cat Pumpkin kept returning to the master bedroom every time she tried to get her to sleep with her. Not wanting to be alone she decided to follow the cat instead of sleeping in the guest room.
David had gone to a destination wedding of one of his college buddies and was glad to have time away from the office for the first time in over a year. He was looking forward to spending time with one of the many women looking for a meaningless night of ecstasy...what could go wrong?
It turns out that the resort was for couples...taking away any chance he had of hooking up with anyone. Then his flight back to Boston was delayed for several hours and then had to drive home after landing at 1:00 in the morning. All he wanted was to see his cat, crawl in bed and sleep for a week, except he had to be at work the next day.
David had stripped down to his boxers and dropped into bed only to snap up immediately. Instead of his cool sheets he had landed on a warm body.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This is a friends-with-benefits, age-gap, interracial romance. Although this book can be read as a standalone novel I would highly suggest that you start with book one of the series as the characters are recurring and it will give you the full dynamics of these two brothers, Maxwell and David and a bit of backstory into drama not relating to Delaney and David's relationship.
Delaney has always had everything she wanted in life...except a choice. Her family and her mother in particular have no consideration for what she wants in life. Her mother just wants complete control and she will go to whatever lengths possible. This woman has no conscience.
David is a known playboy and despite his brother's warnings to stay away from Summer's best friend enters into a secret no-strings friends-with-benefits relationship, but as he sees the continued mistreatment she is receiving from her family he will do anything to protect her.
This book will keep you laughing. Evelyn Sola has created the perfect villains because Delaney's mother and Mitch are just not right in the head. Max and David continue their fight over ownership of Pumpkin. If you want a steamy laugh-out-loud read look no further. I can't wait to read clueless Caleb's story.
Highly recommend!
