From Cathleen Ross comes a naughty–but–nice story about the fun one can have playing dress–up. When Ruby follows up a distress call from her twin, she is plunged into her sister's sexy secret life. Here she meets the gorgeous Jake Steele, who awakens the passionate nature she has always suppressed. But now that she's discovered the delights of love, will she be able to return to the small town life she had before?
I did say that being the book after an Ilona Andrews' book was a tall order to follow, but I kind of hoped for more.
Maybe if you just want sexy times and chemistry, don't set it up with the heroine having a missing sister and a potential suspect as the hero.
Then definitely don't have them drinking champagne two seconds after meeting each other, or flirting and having made a business arrangement shortly after that. Then there's the kissing - all of this happening in the first ten minutes of meeting.
This would all have worked better for me without the suspense aspect, I think. But it just pisses me off when the premise is a missing sibling and the heroine is (supposedly) worried about her.
This was a quick, enjoyable and very hot read. The chemistry between Ruby and Jake is explosive and practically melted my kindle. I loved Jake, very pushy and alpha but never quite moving into a$$hole territory and he always had Ruby’s best interest at heart. Ruby was smart, sweet and strong. I enjoyed watching her find the strength to lean on someone else occasionally. I loved Emerald and Ghost too and would love to see them get a story as well. I will be looking for more books by this author. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
