Unexpected Love
Noosh is a British journalist and is the subject of an obsessive US senator who is determined to kill her. She moves to New York and is hiding from him. She uses burner phones for keeping in contact with her family. She is researching a story on BDSM and thinks the best way is to go to a club. Sitting at the bar she meets Christos, son a Mafia Don who has disowned him as he isn’t interested in being apart of the Firm and is following his own path. He walks up to her, the worse the wear from drink, and propositions her. It works as she is very attracted to him and they go to a private room together. A beyond imagination passion filled night happens and both are left wanting more. But her life is in danger and does she really want a relationship with Christos? Is he really serious about her for the long term? There is so much incredible amount of detail to this story that just by a single word change could change the tone and intensity of the characters and story. THAT, is what makes Michelle Love such a fantastic story teller. The way she creates the tension between the two protagonists is superb and as the story progresses their connection, which vies between sizzling and then combustible, develops into something so much more profound. There is lots of steam heat between these two and it just increases as they become closer. With certain aspects that could trigger flashbacks regarding physical abuse/rape it is only suited for a mature audience of 18+.
A brilliant read that is suspenseful, passionate, profound and very loving. It kept me gripped in the story from first to last page. A real must have read that is so good that I know that I will be re-reading it in the future. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED.
