Fast and fresh romance
I have recently started to read Carly Phillips and Iām wondering why I havenāt been doing so for longer. She writes such fun and vibrant characters and stories that are so quick and easy to read but leave you with that happy, warm feeling of a satisfying love story.
This is Parkerās story and Book 3 in the Knight Brothers series. Iāve read Book 2 (Take the Bride) but not Book 1 (Take Me Again). While the Knight siblings and their significant others from their own books do appear in this one, itās very fleeting and this book definitely stands alone without having read the others in the series.
Thereās something quite simple about this story and how Parker and Emily fall in love. And yet it works so well. Parker is a city boy who at first seems like a fish out of water in rural Colorado -and definitely seems like someone Emily has no desire to get to know better. Even if he is hot and makes her hot, too! Parker has no such qualms about getting to know Emily and he lets her know it. When they both finally allow the spark to be lit, itās hot and heavy against that car and continues in that same, sexy way.
“…another enjoyable love story in a fresh and fast format.”
I liked both our main characters – even more so that neither were perfect and each had to admit and own up to their own mistakes and realise exactly what pushed each otherās buttons. It was nice to see characters who had that human side that everyone can relate to.
The love story is also nice in that itās not simple but not over angsty, either. Thereās enough of that āfearā about whether our couple can make it work or not to keep those pages turning. And they turned pretty darn fast for me. I finished this book so quickly that I was surprised when I realised it was 300 pages. But it was such a satisfying read that Iām not complaining.
Carly Phillips gives us another enjoyable love story in a fresh and fast format. Iām really getting into her writing and the stories she tells and hoping to go back and read the first book in this series, and hopefully see Ethan get whatās coming to him – love – in the next book (Dare Me Tonight). 5 stars from me for this book.
