3.0

So, Antonia is a young divorcée living in London because of wonderful job opportunity. She has a six year old who lives with her mum while she works in London.

She is invited to her upstairs neighbor, Celia’s birthday/engagement party. She’s hesitant to go because of the differences between she and her younger, richer neighbors. But she does and meets Reed. Charming, handsome, sexy Reed. Engaged to Celia, Reed.

She and Reed spark and while she tries to ignore him, he is persistent and she is soon very, very involved with him against her better judgement. But his sexy mojo is too strong and she can’t fight it.

Now, she’s screwing her upstairs neighbor’s fiancé. They’re sneaking around and cheating to their hearts content. Ok, she was really reluctant to start anything with Reed, but that damn mojo got her every time.

So, while they are building castles in the sky and meeting each other’s family members, Celia the fiancée was off banging some guy she picked up in Paris. (Nice people in this book.)

There’s a weak ass confrontation between the engaged couple when Reed finds a stoned Celia in her apartment with the French dude. Then an even weaker confrontation between Celia and Antonia. Why did the author even bother?

Of course, all well that ends well and they lived HEA.
It was an easy, light, entertaining read. I didn’t hate it but didn’t “love it forever” either. It was just a good read.
