Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we're teaming up with TLC Book Tours and Entangled Publishing to bring you the latest release from author Stefanie London! It's a Contemporary Romance. It takes place in Australia. It features a fabulous leading lady that's lost her way and an equally fabulous Aussie hottie that could use a little direction too. It all adds up to...a FANTASTIC READ! Now then, while I got a bit carried away, let me introduce today's ebook of choice properly...
Patterson's Bluff, Book 2
by
Stefanie London

About the book...
Cora Cabot’s life is falling apart. So when her Australian friend announces she’s secured an internship in the States, Cora has a brilliant idea: house swap! Small-town Australia sounds like the perfect getaway. Only, when she gets there, the house isn’t empty. Turns out her friend’s hot Australian brother is staying there, too—and he doesn’t look happy to see her.
The last thing Trent Walters needs is a roommate for the summer. Especially an American who immediately floods the house and single-handedly destroys the family project his sister created for their parents’ anniversary. Now, not only does Cora insist on helping fix the house, he needs her help re-creating the family scrapbook. And glitter is not his forte.
But between late nights cooking, pints at the local pub, and competitive matches of cricket on the beach, Cora starts to break through Trent’s defenses. Too bad Cora made a promise to return to working with her father at the end of the summer—a promise she can’t break—because this holiday is starting to feel like one she never wants to end.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Honestly, I LOVED getting to know our Cora and Trent BOTH...and I couldn't wait to see if things would get REALLY interesting. There was so much up in the air throughout the book...Cora's life there versus here...the destroyed anniversary gift...the secret uncovered...Trent's tendency to help others over himself...and oh the sparks that could fly if given half the chance! From the moment the meet cute happened to the turning of the last epage, I WAS HOOKED.
I simply couldn't keep my hands off it, even if I wanted to (and why would I?) and the ending, while momentarily making your heart drop, delivered so much more than you could imagine! It truly was a fabulous holiday down under, but while the escape was fantastic, it reminds us of a few things as well. I know, I know...it's a HOLIDAY and I'm getting all heavy with meaning, but hear me out. It reminds us that we can run from life, but we can't hide...and it will eventually catch up with us. It's our choice how and when we confront it, and our right to make it our own. Everyone is entitled to their BEST life, to chase their dreams, to have someone they care for a well as someone who makes them their world as well. Everyone deserves the support of friends, and family...and if that last one isn't happening with blood relations, so be it; choose your own crew.
HARD recommendation for adult Contemporary Romance fans (due to limited content) because really, you SO need to read this and what better way to kiss summer goodbye than with a virtual vaca?!
