Room Service by Summer Cooper

Trent’s mum died and it was then just him and his dad.  But his dad wasn’t very good at helping Trent, who was a child, through this emotional turmoil and just runs off and gets married again, starts a new family without including him.  Trent is very bitter.  meanwhile Jessie’s mum and dad both work for Trent’s family and she has always had a crush on him. She told him that she loved him and the jerk just laughed at her. Poor Jessie and Trent was even more vile by then trying to get her parents sacked!  Years later, Trent has made his own successful business and Jessie is now a chef at one of his dad’s hotels and, what’s more, she is good friends with Emily his stepsister.  His dad wants him back with them and Emily and family pretend his dad is poorly and wants to see him.  Trent rushes back and sees Emily and Jessie first.  He is astonished at how stunning Jessie is now, but he’s still got that awful jerk inside him and is rude to her.  When he realises that she’s avoiding him he deliberately  sets her up to come and see him.  The chemistry that Jessie felt all those years ago to Trent have not faded. If anything with maturity she feels even more for him but this time Trent reveals how attractive he finds her and one thing leads to another… STEAM HEAT plus lots of passion.  Next day she is gone and Trent can’t believe it. Why did she leave him? Does she not feel the way he does?  he’s never felt this way before?  Summer Cooper is one brilliant author who creates superb storylines with amazing characters such as Jessie and Trent.  I thought Emily was a valuable addition to the story. It really starts off rather sadly and it is obvious that Trent and his dad need to have a very serious talk together.  Why Trent was such an idiot to Jessie and for him to even hope that she could forgive him and give him a second chance?  This is an emotional story in so many ways but is so wonderfully written with sensitivity and passion by Summer.  I was hooked on the story from the beginning right to the end so much so that, whilst I did receive a free reader’s copy and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of the story here, I bought my own copy to support the author and because the bonus stories are fantastic and I’m looking forward to finishing them this weekend.

Definitely recommended
