Part-Time Lover by Lauren Blakely
5.0
This was a couldn't-put-down-sizzling-buildup-yummy-kind-of-read.
I don't know if it was the early summer heat, the holiday weekend, or that Lauren Blakely just gets better with each book I read. Part-Time Lover checked off all of my boxes for a cozy up on the couch and do nothing kind of day. Christian and Elise were a fabulous pair and I loved reading every minute of their story.
Elise has been hurt by love before. Married and now widowed the walls around her heart are tall and thick. It doesn't mean she doesn't know how to have fun, it's quite the opposite. Her friends adore that she lives by a carpe diem philosophy, but living life to its fullest doesn't mean she has to fall in love. She has her career on full speed and nothing stands in her way when she wants to achieve her goals.
Christian loves his life. Retired at age twenty-eight, fit and healthy. The world is his oyster for plucking. He might be a bit bored now that he has nothing to do, but luckily a job offer comes along where he can put his bilingual skills to use and he's fortunate enough to decide what it is he wants to do next in his life.
What neither Christian nor Elise expected was for fate to intervene on their behalves. When Christian's family business needs the kind of help that only a woman can provide and Elise's business needs the kind of expertise that Christian has in spades...well...what's better than a business deal with a little bit of pleasure on the side? No harm in them getting what they both want, besides it's just business.
Pack your bags for a whirlwind adventure overseas. Fall madly in love with Christian and Elise in Part-Time Lover.
