I totally loved
this one! Jason Thorn was such a swoon-worthy character, but his Hollywood
image is tainted because of a few indescretions. Drinking and drugs are not the
issue, but his brazen sexual innuendos are. Olive, who has been crushing on
Jason since she first met him when she was a young girl, finds herself still highly
attracted to the guy when once again they meet. It’s now some years later and
Jason is a huge Hollywood star while Olive is a best-selling author. Jason is
seeking out the lead in her blockbuster novel now being sought by a producer to
launch it on the big screen. Oh, my he’s still just as gorgeous and beautiful
as he once was, probably even more so, are Olive’s thoughts. And, Jason treats
her just like “the little one” that she was all those years ago. But, Olive is
not that little anymore. And, through time Jason realizes that.
I threw myself
right into this book and didn’t stop turning the pages until I was done. Their
story was humorous and romantic. Throughout the book, the reader is introduced
to Olive’s friends. Lucy was a hoot while being loyal and protective when times
called for it. Char was on the back-burner for me. I didn’t know if she was truly
trustworthy or had something deceiving up her sleeve. My suspicions were
eventually revealed. And the ex-boyfriend, Marcus, was just an ass. I just knew
that there was something not right there. These supporting characters had me on
my toes guessing just where their loyalties would eventually lie.
This was a dirty
talking, steamy read. Olive seemed to be so innocent but yet such a self-assured
woman. And, well Jason he’s confident and always in the moment. So when they
were together intimately, the reader gets some pretty sexy glimpses of just how
powerful their chemistry actually is. The sensuality between the two was
written with passion and poignancy. There was definitely some HOT and spicy
panty-melting moments. Whew!!
This was my
first Ella Maise read, and I promise you, it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed
Jason and Olive’s love story! It was entertaining and romantic! Love those
books where someone has loved a person from afar or over time and is so afraid
to act on it! The character always seems to grow and eventually shine. And,
that’s just what young Olive absolutely did as she matures into a beautiful
young woman. And, Jason's eyes were opened as far as how just being with the
right woman can be exactly what he was missing all along. This is definitely a
keeper, and I’m still gleefully swooning over Jason Thorn’s
character...ahhhhh!!!
And, the guy on the cover is just YYYUUUMMMYYY....gotta
love those abs!!!
