Nora’s parents are both dentists and expected her to become a dentist too. But she hated it and in a first year exam she had a ‘melt down’ and bought a ticket to London and left New York two days later. Nora has just returned from twelve months travelling around Europe. It was probably because of her Dad that she discovered her love of travel as he regularly bought her magazines about exotic places. She loved her time abroad and is now back as she’s run out of money. So she’s here living with her cousin, Grace, and other roommate, Julia, until she can make enough money to go travelling again. Julia has tickets for an exclusive art gallery opening and the three young women go along. It’s there that we rediscover Walker, Wes’ best friend from the previous book in this delicious series by the fabulous author, Ali Parker. Nora is everything he has been looking for in a woman and so much more. Walker and Nora’s meeting is not auspicious as it is his art gallery that she’s attending and she’s not feeling great about life in general. So she ‘let’s rip’ about her feelings of artists and art in general. Walker is intrigued and entranced by her. He’s very attracted to her physically [though she would be the first to say that she was no model and had plenty of imperfections but it’s those that make her so real and fascinating to him]. When she discovers who he really is, she is mortified but agrees to go on a date with him. This book is so much fun to read and is one that I will definitely be re-reading. I liked Walker in book 5 which was the story of Wes and Briar falling in love [but this can be read as a standalone]. Together they are so sweet but the steam factor in some scenes may need you to turn on your air con. So beautifully written as you’d expect from Ali Parker. It was so easy to read and certainly compulsive for me. I have read all of this series [The Business of Love] and each story just gets better. I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED.
