This book is a sexy, entertaining read without spending too
much time on unnecessary drawn-out angst.
Tessa Dalton runs a wedding venue with her sister Michelle in
Arizona, but wants to fly on her own. Opportunity beckons her in form of a reality-show-like
contest for event planners organised by a luxury destination resort in Colorado
owned by Wendi. Marci Jones is Wendi’s bestie. Marci had fallen for one of the
resort’s guests, Ashley, and taken off after her to Arizona. Eleven years later
(of which Marci and Ashley were married for nine), Marci found Ashley in bed
with another woman and walked away from her cheating wife and marriage without
a word. She is broken and resultantly wants to have the minimum to do with
people. Wendi saves her butt by giving her a back office job in the resort. For
the contest, Marci is assigned to be the liaison person, only in-charge of
making booking and facilitating requirements, for the contesting teams. Tessa
is single-mindedly focussed on winning and Marci is single-mindedly focussed on
being rather ridiculously self-protective.
The book is listed as erotica and lust is what drives the
MCs together most of the time. But the lust is all good. Tessa is super-sexy,
sassy and quite yummy. Marci…*shrug*…really she evokes nothing. Wendi
however…she is some kind of a super-friend who creates a whole new dream
business for Marci with zero input or expectation from the latter. In fact,
there is surely another book about Wendi and Tessa’s philandering sister, Monty
coming soon. We’re rather looking forward to that one too.
It is listed as erotica and surely, the characters are
driven by lust. Do not expect too much emotion or character development from
this one – but it completely delivers on being a light read with sexy times.
