Part Time Lover

by

Lauren Blakely

~ Synopsis ~

I’ll say this about Christian — he made one hell of a first impression. When I first saw the strapping man, he was doing handstands naked on a dock along the canal. His crown jewels were far more entertaining than anything else I’d seen on the boat tour, so I did what any curious woman would do — I took his photo. I might have looked at the shot a few dozen times. Little did I know I’d meet him again, a year later, at a secret garden bar in the heart of the city, where I’d learn that his mind and his mouth were even more captivating. But given the way my heart had been trampled, I wanted only a simple deal — No strings. No expectations.

Our arrangement worked well enough until the day I needed a lot more from him…

***

Let me just say, this whole part-time lover thing was her idea. I’d have gone all-in from the start, but hey, when a gorgeous, brilliant woman invites you into her bed, and only her bed…well, I said yes.

But then, one hysterical phone call from my brother later, begging me to find myself a wife so grandfather’s business stays in the family, and I need a promotion with Elise. Turns out a full-time husband suits her needs too, and a temporary marriage of convenience ought to do the trick, until we can simply untie the knot…

As long as no one finds out… As long as no one gets hurt… As long as no one falls in love… But our ending was one I never saw coming.

~ Review ~

Christian had no idea that a stunt to rile up the tourists would be a life changing moment. Elise is taking some time away with her friend trying to forget her past relationship that still haunts her. Talking her friend into a boat tour in Denmark sounded like a fun thing to do but Elise get a little more than the normal "scenic view" which lingers in her memory long after her return home.

I was so happy when their paths crossed again. Lauren Blakely gives you two characters that you cannot help but invest in. Christian is all sorts of swoon-worthy and it was fun to watch Elise try to be very lax about what was transpiring between them. Their relationship was very unique not only to them but to their situation.

I enjoyed watching them fall for each other. They not only made me smile but they made me shed a tear or two too. Watching them find the better versions of themselves was definitely an enjoyable aspect of this story. If you enjoy fun, witty, second chance romances this may be the book for you. I can never turn down an opportunity to read a book by this author and Part Time Lover may just be one of my new favorites
