"Interesting romance. Plot develops nicely and actually held my attention unlike some recent romance out there. The story itself has something for more than just one age-group. Good for a wide audience. Female lead is amusing and plays along nicely with the rest of the cast. Fun, quite short book for some distraction."
From the Author
This series Perfect Halves will have four books and all of them will be about love, adventure and conspiracies. You will meet all male characters in this first novel, which will be a sun-drenched romance whose heroine is an independent woman. She finds the love of her life and her happily ever after and has the adventure of a lifetime. The hero of the story is an alpha man who, despite his machismo, falls hard for the heroine and he will do everything in his power to make her love him back.Stuck in a rut, Kate takes to internet dating to spice up her life. Little did she know the detour her life was about to take! A mysterious stranger, a far-east adventure and burgeoning romance come together in this fast paced romantic adventure, leaving our heroine out of sorts, depending on a man she's only known a few days.An excerpt from the book: "Kate's legs fell from the other chair with a resonant clank and she simply froze in place forgetting even to turn off her phone. By rote, she managed to let it fall on the table with measured gestures, as if she were afraid her fingers couldn't hold the cell phone anymore. Her eyes had turned into two wide green frozen pools of shimmering water and she couldn't take them off the man towering over her in an extremely foreboding manner, ready to pounce on her any second now.
Kate was aware of only one thing: she had one very huge pissed-off male looming over her and any coherent thought she'd had had melted into nothingness as everything else had ceased to exist. Her throat constricted and breathing became a serious endeavor while she took in his threatening stance.
Oh, God, he seemed so big! From a distance, at the hotel, he hadn't seemed either as tall or as big as he looked that very moment. Now, she realised he had to be about six feet four at least. He'd also probably, not very far away in his past, had played football for a few years, given the massive muscles he was sporting and which his shirt couldn't even begin to hide. His fists were closed so tight that his knuckles were white and his arms were so tensed that she could see the coiled muscles playing under his skin as if he was trying hard to keep his cool with her and not explode. His dark eyes twinkled with pure thundering fury and his mouth was drawn in a tight line making the rest of his face seem rigid and unforgiving but, at least apparently, he was trying his best and he was making great efforts not to shout at or strangle her.
One moment she was sitting and staring stunned at him, a little afraid of the display of force before her eyes, truth to be told, and in the next, he reached out pulling her up like a rag doll and shaking her so forcefully that she could hear her teeth clatter.
"You, stupid, stupid, little girl!"
Ryan practically growled the words through his teeth, as if it had been impossible for him to unclench his mouth and talk normally."
About the Author
Born in Europe, some time ago, she started loving books very early and the next step was easy: writing became a dream and a purpose. She enjoys writing and baking - these two work very well hand in hand, and she enjoys spending time with her dog - or at least most of the time, as he is a hellion.
