Perfect Plans #1
Perfect Plans
He's the ultimate fantasy crush. You've seen him on the big screen - the 'fantasy' man you cheat on your husband with; the man you never expect to meet… But what if you did?
Perfect Plans, the first of a two-part series, takes you through this possibility.
Every woman fantasizes about 'what if' at some point in her marriage; lost in dreams of something MORE. Abigail Ryan takes a leap that most women would envy. Abandoning her seemingly perfect life in Canada, she moves to London, England, and falls into the lap of Alexander Tate - every woman's fantasy crush. Her perfect plan unfolds to a world where reality meets dreams, and dreams meet reality; throwing her into a tail-spin of self-doubt and public scrutiny.
Alex Tate wants nothing more than to escape the dream-world in which he lives; his desire for love, marriage and family, with all of its real-world normalcy out of his world-famous reach.
Aby and Alex face the obstacles of their own realities, now intertwined, before succumbing to their questionable fates.
Are you ready to fall into your fantasy, when reality lurks right outside the door?

About the author
C.J. Wells
9 books314 followersCo-Authors, and sisters, Christa Gibbs and Jill Syed reside in Ontario, Canada. Born and raised on da’Rock [a.k.a. St. John’s, Newfoundland], their laid back personalities and eclectic sense of humor is indicative of their native roots. Although fluent in Newfinese, both are quite eloquently spoken, showing no remnants of an accent unless alcohol is involved.
Fluent in air-guitar [she trained in Europe], Christa, by day, transforms into her Executive role in the Property Management World. This wonderful position lends credence to her altruistic life experiences lived vicariously through the many residents within her keep. This translates beautifully to her evening endeavors, which include creating lovable characters and interesting storylines. An avid reader of erotic romance [upwards of two to three novels per week], Christa decided to give her own incessant fairytale sex-capade fantasies a voice.
When she is not behind the camera in her Photography Studio, Jill spends portions of her days mentally cataloging all the reasons why she shouldn’t become an indulgent drinker at the helm of her three young children [though you will hear her undying love and devotion for them often: “blessed”]. Passionately creative, Jill spent many years capturing life moments on film, canvas and even paper. Having dabbled in the writing of many children’s books, all of which ended up covered in dust and never carried through, clarity hit once she collaborated with her sister: “Ohhh, the steamy sex was the missing ingredient”.

Wow....Momentarily speechless from the fairytale that was this book.
What I can say is, there were lots of clenching and wrenching of folds, glistening bulging muscles, debates with her inner actress/dreamer and 'gazing into his flashing baby-blue eyes". On every other page! Dafuck?
I'm sorry, but my threshold for BS is too low for this inanity. I laughed, scoffed and finally admitted defeat.

Cliffhanger:Yes
HEA:
Well this certainly was a pleasant surprise. I had no idea what to expect when I started reading this, but I didn't come away disappointed. I happened to come across this book she I needed something strong on the spice and low on the what-the-hell-did-I-just-read. My previous book put me in a bad book hangover state and I needed something to pull me out. Well, if you're looking for a book that explores the meaning of life and all the mysteries of the universe...you won't find it here. BUT-you will find a pure fairytale fantasy for grownups that's heavy on the hot as sin celebrity who falls in obsession, possession, and lusty for-ever-after with our lucky heroine. This couple has thick sexual tension from the very beginning and they explore that in pretty much every place they go and every surface they encounter! And it is good.
"Tell me...tell me you want me as much as I want you."
My breath hitches at his sensual request. I'm stunned silent, staring into his probing, mesmerizing gaze.
I can feel his racing heartbeat through the thin material of his shirt, mimicking the rhythmic pulse of my core. It's thrilling.
This book is just pure, decadent goodness and I savored this couple's sexy time.
I will say, as much as I liked it, maybe it could have been shaved down just a bit. I can't believe I'm saying that but it would have been nice to get more insight into Alex-preferably into his head with dual POV. There are some things that are left a mystery about his past and his actions when they first meet, but I'm guessing that the authors left things that way to be continued in the following book. The plot was solid though and not overrun by the amount of sex however. There was plenty of drama, and scheming and slimy people hanging around Alex to keep things moving along quite nicely. He's surrounded by two faced people.
Aby wants a fantastic, amazing love that's filled with passion. Something she's been lacking in her marriage despite the fact that she had a faithful and caring husband. There wasn't a hint of thrill or need between them-it's always felt more like a friendship. So she pushes past her guilt and starts her life over in England hoping to find that spark that's been missing from her life.
Despite what the synopsis hints at, there is NO CHEATING in this book I can happily report. She's separated from her husband before she meets Alex and she's not looking for a relationship at that point in time, but when you fall into the lap of a sexy as sin actor that you've lusted after for years...what's a girl to do?
What I really liked a lot was Aby's sense of humor. There were some great, cheeky thoughts coming out of her head, they were quite ingenious. She made me chuckle at her audacity at some points.
I want to cut you. But I don't want to go to jail...on second thought, I hope you get fingered by Wolverine.
"Alex." His name rolls off Helena's tongue like silk as she makes her way towards him, her touchy fingers making an expedition across his chest.
Back off, Whore-a the Explorer, I want to growl at her.
There's a whole lot of sexin' a whole lot of fantasy love brewin' and a whole lot of plotting and laughing. My only complaints about this book are that:
1)The page length/sex content could be shaved down a touch to keep the pacing of the story more even and my interest and my thoughts more centered on the characters' emotions.
2) MOTHER OF ALL UNHOLY CLIFFHANGERS. This book leaves you hanging with no relief in sight. (Book two isn't even up on Goodreads yet.) You really need to be aware of that when you pick up this book.

FIRST OF ALL - I HIGHLY recommend this book!!! Author{s} C.J. Wells hits it out of the park with a home run in Perfect Plans. The story of Aby Ryan reaching out from her otherwise dull or imperfect life to fill her "tall bill" and find her HEA is one of romantic and "how can this be happening to me" fantasies. Literally falling into the the graces of Alex Tate, Aby gets more than she bargained for with a simple act of fate. Even the secondary characters maintain a fabulous part in this sexy tale with twists and turns you won't see coming.
The story is witty, humorous and boldly written. The sex scenes are even HOTTER! You'll need a tall drink to cool you off when Aby and Alex starting heating up the pages with their wildly delicious OMG {jaw-dropping fans self} ROMPS everywhere.
HOT HOT HOT READ. Thank you C.J. Wells for giving us Alex Tate to dream about! It's not hard to see why Henry Cavill was the PERFECT MUSE for Alexander Tate The Great. BRAVO! Cannot wait for TAKE A BOW

**Perfect Plans generously provided by the authors in exchange for an honest review**
Perfect Plans follows the journey of Aby as she strives to re-discover the magic of life. Stuck in a stagnant marriage where she felt no peace with herself, Aby uproots her life, leaves her husband, and heads for greener pastures in London. London is where we meet her and her wildly hilarious friend, Stacey. Aby maintains she’s searching for something meaningful in her life. Wanting to be desired and cherished, she takes on her new life head first. In London, the seemingly impossible occurs. Aby stumbles, literally, into the lap of Alexander Tate; actor and hot guy extraordinaire. Sparks fly, questions are raised, emotional overloaded as Aby and Alex work to discover each other as Aby desperately tries to reconcile her past with her future.
This story is fun, fast, and easy reading. The authors writing engages and fluidly flows. The secondary characters make for enjoyable and funny experiences. Even the ‘villains’ proved to be enlightening additions to Aby & Alex’s story. The relationship between Aby and Alex, while quick, seemed natural and I found myself rooting for them. Alexander Tate is every woman’s fantasy come to life. He’s a man wanted by millions who leads an intriguing life. Underneath the handsome exterior lies a gentle, kind man who we come find seeks the same solace in life as Aby. I really liked this character. Then there is Aby. And I’d like to preface that by stating that overall this is a strong, character. It doesn’t a meek woman to turn her life upside down in search of something greater for herself. Aby dreams big and even thought it took her a while she worked to make those big dreams come true. I admire the tenacity in her character. However, Aby is inside Aby’s head…a lot. To the point that I found myself skimming through some of the inner monologues because it was just too much. I found her character to be not as tough as I originally thought. Her confidence waned a lot because she was focused on the outside world and too anxious worrying about what wouldn’t work instead of focusing on what was actually working.
I would recommend the story to read and I very much look forward to the second book in this series, mainly because I want to see the reaction and subsequent action Alexander takes. He shined through the pages. I’m confident that Aby can totally redeem herself. While I felt a bit disconnected with the book, overall I found it enjoyable. There a lot in the pages making me want to find out what happens and the reactions from various characters. The book ends in a bit of a cliffhanger, not a shocking one, but a nagging one – looking forward to Take A Bow.

I wanted to love this book, it had the potential of everything I love...hot celebrity meets every day girl. British accent, yes please! Unfortunately this one fell flat quickly and even though I gave it a solid try, ended up a DNF.
Character development and most dialog was just not good. Emotions that should have been felt by the situations going on, were verbalized by the main character in her head instead of the situation creating the emotion for the reader. Just not up to par with what I consider even a 3 star book.
Confused by all of the 5 star ratings. I don't leave a lot of written reviews, but felt like it needed to be said on this one.

“Tell me to stop, Aby, and I will...It will be the hardest thing I'll ever do, but if you don't want this, now would be the time to tell me.”
Perfect Plans was a great story. A woman reclaiming her life… In London… With a hot guy. What more could a romance reader ask for???
This was one of those 400 page books that you find yourself shocked when you finish it. Did I really just read 400 pages in one day? Yup. Sure did. With likeable characters, (Shout out to Stacey!) and a great chemistry between Aby and Alexander this book was the perfect Sunday read.
Aby was wonderful. She was such an honest character. Even having never been in her position, I could relate to her. She struggled with her past, but she was a fighter and I loved that about her.
Alexander Tate. That could actually be a verb. He Alexander-Tated me. I think it’ll stick. He was so YUM. He was wanted by every woman on earth, but there was so much to him that very few knew. I loved discovering this about him. I loved reading as Aby discovered the real him.
Ok, yeah, they were awesome. But together??? Yowza! You’ll need to turn on the A/C while you read this one! I thought my Kindle was going to set fire a few times!!! Their relationship happened quickly, but it felt natural. They had plenty of antagonists along the way and I was the loudest person in their cheering section!
There were times that Aby’s inner dialogue was a bit much for me, but hey, it’s her head. Talk away, sister. I really wanted to know what Tate was thinking. But guess what? Take A Bow is coming out soon and we get so much more!!!! WOOT!
I give this book 3.5 solid stars and I cannot wait for Alexander’s return!

I've read Perfect Plans twice already, the first time I tore through it in record speed devouring each steamy detail turning the pages as fast as my fingers and eyes would allow. Since then I have read it at a much slower pace relishing in the intricate details of each character, finding myself laughing at the relationship between Aby and her best friend Stacey (we all have that crazy, lovable best friend which brings scores of laughter) and totally falling in love with the relationship that Aby and Alex are embarking on. This novel wastes no time jumping into the story and capturing your attention and the sex scenes are vividly erotic and hot as hell! C.J. Wells has nailed it with this novel - I mean, every girl dreams of her own "what if" with her favourite celebrity, and to live a fantasy out through Aby is the next best thing! I am eagerly anticipating Take A Bow to learn what lies ahead for Aby & Alex, to see where their love takes them next and which realities may be in store for a normal girl and her celebrity Gentleman Tate. Additionally, the epilogue of Alex's account of his introduction to Aby is intense, carnal and electric! I loved reading his perspective - sort of getting into his head was a very welcomed addition :)

Every woman dreams about the men on the big screen, The Sexiest Man Alive, the Hollywood heartthrobs. But what would you do if the man of your dreams stepped into your reality?
Aby is finally free for the first time in her life. After leaving a loveless marriage she decides to move to London from Toronto to start over. She wasn't planning on falling into the lap of the sexy movie star, Alex Tate.
Alex is immediately taken with Aby and begins his pursuit. Oh my, and he is relentless and sexy and did I mention British? YUM!
Let me tell you that this book is so damn hot! The love scenes are wonderfully written and descriptive, you actually feel like you are in the scene, voyeur style.
This was a smart, sexy and romantic read and I will be definitely waiting to see what else is on the horizon for this duo of author sisters. And the fact that Henry Cavill was the inspiration for Alex was utterly perfect!

I loved this book. Aby is such a strong character. And Alex! Oh Alex. I loved him so much!! I couldn't put it down! The author does such an awesome job of describing Alex and Aby. I couldn't get the image of Henry Cavill out of my head while reading it. It's such a good love story with tons of racy love scenes. I sooo hope Alex and Aby wind up together and have their happily ever after. I can't wait for book two.

CJ Wells Perfect Plans.
(I started reading this book for the first time in April, and this was disrupted because of my own schedule. Sorry ladies, i went back and read it again to give your book my full attention. )
Wow! Perfect Plans has the perfect man! This book is a steamy,lust- filled, collaborative work between sisters. (I'd have loved to have been present during some the discussions they must have had during the writing of this book!) Beautiful creative writing,using an extensive volcabulary, and written in a style that is a mixture of romantic prose and contemporary work. A mixture that blended perfectly, to give the book a romantic, yet current feel. I particularly liked the way the storyline focused on the relationship of the two main characters, Alex *swoon* and the lucky Aby; his love interest. The strong magnetic feelings these two had for each other emanated from the pages. The first breakfast scene was HOT! The Chemistry was smoking hot! The characters in the book are well developed and credible. The story follow's Aby who emerges from a long time relationship and is making space between her and her partner by moving from Canada to London. Aby, literally drops into Alex's lap Aby's thoughts made me chuckle at times and Ben...well let's just say he's not the friend Alex deserves. Loved Aby's observations and the way she reasoned with herself during the story. A gripping, yet easy read, Perfect Plans is definitely a one click book, and I'm looking forward to the next installment. (Take a Bow) An excellent debut novel by CJ Wells and I can't wait to read the next part of the story. All this said and I hardly touched on the story, Movie star, pretty girl, chemistry hot scenes...what's not to love?
(I started reading this book for the first time in April, and this was disrupted because of my own schedule. Sorry ladies, i went back and read it again to give your book my full attention. )
Wow! Perfect Plans has the perfect man! This book is a steamy,lust- filled, collaborative work between sisters. (I'd have loved to have been present during some the discussions they must have had during the writing of this book!) Beautiful creative writing,using an extensive volcabulary, and written in a style that is a mixture of romantic prose and contemporary work. A mixture that blended perfectly, to give the book a romantic, yet current feel. I particularly liked the way the storyline focused on the relationship of the two main characters, Alex *swoon* and the lucky Aby; his love interest. The strong magnetic feelings these two had for each other emanated from the pages. The first breakfast scene was HOT! The Chemistry was smoking hot!

I picked this one up and put it down numerous times. I can only take so much before, I give up completely. And I hate not finishing a book. After several go-around's trying to wrap my head around WHY in the world I didn't like it - all the rave reviews and recommendations from so many readers left me feeling I was the crazy one.
This book was boring, to put it plainly. It was repetitive, and slow. Why would Alex Tate, "Mega Star" fall for vapid but beautiful Aby Ryan? Just because she's hot? Ughh... There is nothing interesting about her, and they don't talk. How do you fall for someone you cannot communicate with? I cannot understand why Alex thought Aby was so special? Aby runs away from everything and the ending was predictable.
All of Aby's "inner actress" reminded me of Ana from FSOG, and I don't want to make that comparison because this book was written far better as far as writing goes.
Okay, so I digress.
What did I like? Hmmm... the cover was sexy. Actually the concept was really interesting, and I give the authors kuddos for their effort, the execution fell flat. I might read the second book in the series just to see how it all turns out. But right now, I just cannot.
Recommended to anyone who loves a book with over the top drama and lots and lots of sexy times. And for those who want to fantasize about F*cking Henry's brains out.

Bravo C J Wells!
The best book, I have had the pleasure of reading this year is Perfect Plans!
I love a book that surprises me and this one did just that! I love the beautiful blunt candour between Aby and Stacey, which made me feel in turn as if I were sitting in the room with them as part of their girlfriend circle.
A book that can get me emotionally invoked to the point where it creates a physical reaction from me is something that has never happened before.
Perfect Plans had me laughing out loud and frustrated over Aby's internal turmoil.
For me it was the way C J Wells developed the characters as people we could all relate too no matter our age or where we are in our lives.
The writing flow and story line has left me wanting more, I am beyond captivated to see where C J Wells takes us on this journey with Aby, Alex and all the other scrumptious characters in the next instalment Take A Bow!

Is there really such thing as the perfect plan? Aby thinks she has gone to England to discover and carry out her perfect plan.
Meeting the ultimate man of her fantasies, Alex, she thinks she has discovered what perfect is all about. That is until the reality of the the movie star lifestyle rears it's ugly head and causes her to doubt the love that Alex has developed for her.
His ideal perfect is exactly what Aby has to offer him; however, the self doubt that Aby is confronted with leaves and explosive ending.
I could not put this book down and can't wait to see how this story continues. The depth of the characters is highly developed throughout the course of their story and leaves you wanting for more.

I'm still screaming at Aby right now..... *must put hand over mouth and control myself* Okay, this book is sooooo good! Watching Alex and Aby's love story unfold was very captivating. At times I laughed at the snarky comments, then "awww-ed" at the heart-felt moments. I was angry and then sad. At then there were numerous times where I wondered if anyone noticed the blushing in my cheeks while I was reading. The romance is phenominal! It evoked a lot of emotion in me, which is fantastic! I absolutely Can NOT wait for Take A Bow. Bravo!

C.J. Wells takes steamy to a whole new level with Perfect Plans. Highly erotic with an interesting story and characters who are likeable, relatable and funny. I was quickly immersed in their lives and can't wait to see what happens next!

I had not planned to read this book yet. I was committed to reading a new series recommended by a friend. But then the mail came, I opened the package with this book inside, read the prologue and I was done. I couldn't stop. Too intrigued by what I read. It also helps that I have come to learn how friendly the authors are on Twitter which makes me want to read their book even more. They support other authors by sharing book information. I respect that in an author.
That being said, WOW! I'm not sure where to start. What woman doesn't fantasize about leaving their life for a tall, dark and handsome man, no matter how good or bad your life is? Let alone a movie star? Well Aby decides she needs to live her life and moves to London to start over, even though she hasn't quite "finished" her life at home. Out with her BFF, Stacey, she literally falls into an opportunity to meet the handsome British actor, Alexander Tate. But with fame and stardom come the challenge to be "normal" and how well they both handle it is the tell tale of how the relationship will work. Once they get passed the infatuation stage they must deal with the every day world outside of their homes.
Settling into London, Aby finds a place to live, a job and even makes new friends. She soon finds out who is truly her friend and who is not. Trying to make it on her own AND have a movie star boyfriend takes it's toll on her at the end as she tried to weigh out her place in the big picture. The ending is a big of a shocker, but one you see coming, just not that dramatic. Can't wait for the next book to see the reaction and the result of it.
Aby appears to be a strong woman who knows what she wants but as the book progressed she lets the movie star world get the best of her and her strength wears down. Yet at times you wonder if her "realistic mind" is really her self confidence washing away. She is always waiting for the shoe to drop and for Alex to end things. Does she want things to end? Does she really believe she is not good enough for Alex? Has he not made his feelings clear enough? Or maybe she doesn't realize how strong she is and hopefully, we will find answers to all if this in the next book?
I enjoyed Alex's loving treatment of Aby. No domination, just love. Sure there were times when he needed hard, rough sex. But then there were times when he just wanted soft and loving and drove her crazy taking his time to take care of her. The sex scenes were sensual and loving, very beautifully written. The passion between the two characters is quite obvious. My personal favorite being at the bar to see Imagine Dragons. The whole eye watching scene until the backstage "tour" was amazing and hot.
This book is told in Aby's POV and the sequel "Take A Bow" will be Alex's POV which I am definitely looking forward to. It is always interesting to read both POVs as it will bring the whole story together allowing you to see the reasons why the characters acted they way they did. So many questions linger in regards to his actions.
I agree with another review about Aby's internal dialogue. At times it was too much to read and I found myself skimming through it as well. But some dialogue is good and humorous at times because we have all had those moments of diarrhea of the mouth. And sometimes we struggle with just how much to tell someone when we know we should or shouldn't say more than we do.
This book is well written and I am so glad I read it. I knew it had to be something good with all the publicity I see on Twitter regarding it. These two sisters did a fabulous job working together to write this and I surely hope they hurry up with the second one. Don't let the size of the book intimidate you. You will not want to put it down once you start.

I'm quite sure all of us, at one point in our lives, had fantasized about meeting our favorite actor. I sure did! And I know it would feel like an out-of-body experience to come face to face with the object of your fantasy, someone you've watched and read about so many times. If that said celebrity showed an interest in you, how would you feel? It wouldn't be lack of self-esteem on your part to think you are being Punk'd.
This was the situation Aby found herself in. In London to start fresh after a failed marriage, she literally fell in the lap of Alexander Tate, the famous actor she had been admiring for years. To say the experience was surreal was an understatement. The man of her dreams just stepped into her reality and she didn't know what to do about it. It took her a while to believe she wasn't just a passing fancy for him. She had difficulty reconciling what was normal in her world and in the world of a celebrity. Second-guessing herself and their relationship became her constant companion.
Alexander Tate. A man worthy of all adulation. Not only because of his good looks or sexy physique. Not even because he was a famous actor or that he was nice to his fans. But because he lived up to the phrase "man of your dreams." He was a decent human being. He was caring, attentive, understanding. He was sincere and humble, qualities that were hard to maintain when you're a huge celebrity. He was literally a man possessing the attributes all the ladies dream about. Labeled as the sexiest man, he was even more beautiful inside.
Uncertainty had become Aby's unwanted best friend. She feared she landed on some wonderful dream, dreading on how long it would last before she wakes up. How could she ever fit into his world? Having some people around Alex making her question the same thing were not helping to assuage her insecurities. But despite her doubts and apprehension, she was a very likable character. Both Alex and Aby were great characters forced to face the unfavorable side of being in the limelight.
They share the same dream: to meet the man/woman of his/her dreams and live happily ever after. Can they find it with each other? Or was it an unattainable fantasy?
Stacey, Aby's best friend, was hilarious! She provided the comedic element in the story.
“I swear some men are conceived through anal sex. There’s no way being that much of an asshole is natural.”
I truly enjoyed this book and I'm starting the next book right away for more Alex and Aby!

C J Wells brings us a story of make believe but makes it feel so real, it could happen to any one of us. Aby literally falls for a movie star - is that not the stuff we've all dreamt about over the years? However, what Aby faces is a movie stars lifestyle with all it's angst, insecurities, backstabbing and drama. Poor Aby left a nice life in Canada to find her dream, she found her dream man but not necessarily her dream life. The characters, despite one being a movie star, are believeable, easy to like and empathise with. The sex scenes are well written, it is clear this author is not afraid to write sex and that confidence shines.
If I had to nitpik and I generally only do if I like a book, a lot, dialect. There were two instances where Alex used the words 'grocery store' and 'pissed' (for angry) - sounds pathetic, me bringing this up in five star review, but I noticed it, it irked a little. Certainly not enough to spoil any enjoyment of this book.
It is well written, a good balance of narrative to dialogue, good characterisation and most definately leaves the reader wanting more. I liked the introduction of Andrew, a character that I feel should be expanded more and I worried for Alex at times. Aby, in her niavety seemed to unload to Andrew a fair bit. I hope we see more of him in the next installment.
Stacy is a scream - some brilliant one liners and is the best friend we all crave.
Overall, a book worthy of five stars. It has humour, a hot new book boyfriend, some wonderful bitches, a nice female lead and leaves this reader with an appetite for more. Whoever designed the cover needs a round of applause and the formatting and structure was perfect. Highly recommended.

So, let me start with this...Perfect Plans is hot, steamy, and provocative. With some very hot sex scenes and plenty of them, CJ Wells can write contrmporary romance, and they are not shy.
CJ Wells can also write, and that is what they did in Perfect Plans. It is an emotional story with many curves and twists all centered around Aby's quest for something better than she had in her very dull first marriage. In her wildest dreams, Aby never imagined she would find her "tall order" in the very famous and extremely gorgeous and serious alpha, Alex Tate.
Something about Aby attracted me from the beginning. Perhaps, her tiny bit of awkarwrdness or the way she talks to herself, encouraging herself to move forward or take risks, but she is a heroine, I grew to love.
And, oh, Alex Tate....dreamy, handsome, gentlemanly except in the bedroom, generous, head strong...I could go on forever, but he is certainly a majorly hot alpha male.
I don't want to give away what happens, other than to say, the feelings that grow between Alex and Aby feel genuine, accompanied by heat and passion, and followed by all the stuff that life throws at a new couple especially one who is half movie star. Aby perseveres and adjusts as much as any normal girl can do until.....
The ending definitely doesn't wrap anything up, which normally makes me crazy, but I know the next installment is coming (take a bow) and I have faith in Wells that they will give Alex and Aby a happy ending.
This book needs to be savored, especially the hotel lobby, shopping, and "making love" scenes. Those were my top three, but honestly, I loved the whole read.

I think most women (and maybe men) can, at some point in their lives, relate to the plight of the main character in this book. I mean, who hasn’t dreamt of having the perfect life, the perfect love? Aby’s desire is a common one, but most people don’t have her bravery to give up everything to go after it. This makes her an interesting and appealing character, and it makes for an interesting book.
As for Alex . . . who wouldn’t find him attractive? He is literally every woman’s dream man. Sexy, sweet, beautiful, and, luckily for Aby, has his own perfect plan. The question is, can Aby allow herself to love him? I’ll not give it all away, but I will say that the development of their relationship involves some seriously hot sex—seriously hot!
This is a well-written, addictive romance. I loved this book, and I can’t wait for the next one! I’m dying to find out what happens with these characters.
