Blurb:
Your date with ski champ Jett Casey is an either/or deal. He'll take you off-pieste for the ultimate Montana ski adventure or he'll put his handyman skills at your disposal for a week. Which one would you choose?
Singe mom Mardie Griffin has a run-down old house in need of fixing and a memory of Jett Casey as her savior in a time of great need. So when her friends acquire Jett's services at a bachelor auction and send him to fix up her house, she sets aside her mistrust of men and lets him in.
Elite athlete Jett Casey has the world at his feet and no desire for stability. But there's one woman he's never forgotten and if he can help make her safe this time, maybe she'll stop haunting him.
No strings, no sex, no commitment. Just fix things. Surely it can't be that difficult ...
Review:
Mantra to self: I must
stop requesting for books that are part way through a series. I must stop requesting books that are part
way through a series!
This book is my first read by this author and unfortunately
it may well be my last. As with such
books like this it was very formulaic.
There was a broken woman to proud to ask for help, great wealthy friends
wanting to help aforementioned female, an alpha male and a charity auction,
insta-love and a HEA ending. Enough
said.
The alpha male is called Jett, a skier who has had an
injury. He is attractive (as they always
are) capable and dependable as well as strong and drawn to Mardie who is a single
mother recovering from a disastrous relationship (as most women in these types
books are). So she is rather reluctant
to begin another relationship.
Although there is the ubiquitous insta-attraction the
discovery is deliciously slow. And there
is obviously a precious history between these two main characters. In short this novel deals with an honest
joining of minds. There is no game
playing or posturing (such things become irrelevant when there is a child in
the mix!).
There are thrills a plenty but for this reader they were far
from electrifying! For this reader it
was a let-down in more ways than one.
