Love Is A many Splendid Thing
We meet Louise in this story who is an orphan and has had a troubled life – especially since she was years ahead of her classmates s she graduated from high school early and , now doing a medical degree, is years younger than the rest in her year. On her preferred course, she is assigned to follow the older Dr Oliver Foxx. Now Oliver has charm oozing from every part of him, he does not want a relationship as he can have any woman he wants, has plenty of money and is happy in his playboy lifestyle. Louise is a stunning young woman of 22 years old whilst Oliver is 39 years old so there is a big age gap but that doesn’t stop them being wildly attracted to one another although they know that they have to fight it as a relationship between them would be classified as taboo and he would lose his job and she would fail her course. Because Louise’s classmates don’t talk to her very much she feels lonely and meets a friend in the receptionist and when she goes back to Oliver’s room early she finds him in a compromising position with a female patient [he’s sent Louise off so he could deal with his sexual frustration at not being able to act upon his carnal desires for her. Louise doesn’t let on that she knows what he was doing but she behaves very frosty towards him and he can’t understand what’s wrong. She goes out with her new friend and gets drunk as she is so upset with Oliver, little realising that she has set in motion something that will change her whole life. Mia Ford and Brenda Ford have written an amazing storyline here that I didn’t want to put down [well maybe when Louise caught Oliver with a female patient which was SO WRONG] but I read on and I’m so very pleased that I did !! The scenes between Oliver and Louise just get better and better especially when she is ill and he examines her and they discover what is wrong. Oliver feels extremely guilty about Louise going to that party with her friend as he feels it was his fault and he does everything, and more, that he can to help her. For the first time he realises how good it feels to have a female friend. Some female that cares for him and having a relationship with one that means the whole world to him. It’s at this part of the story that it became so easy to love Oliver. As they have to be careful of people finding out about them, makes them appreciate even more how they feel for one another, even if Oliver still finds it difficult to say the words. These two lonely people, despite their age differences they find what they didn’t know they wanted in another person. Such a romantic story and beautifully written by Mia and Brenda and the bonus story, Billionaire Next Door is a fantastic read too.
Whilst I did receive a reader’s copy and voluntarily leave my honest review of it here, I subsequently bought my own copy as I loved it so much!
