A tale as old as time—a girl, tall and wispy, hair the color of the sun, eyes as blue as the sky, caught in a love triangle with the noblest of men…Not in this book honey!

Okay so maybe I am caught up in a love triangle, but I’m sure as hell not running through a field of daisies in a sun dress. My name is Elizabeth and I’ve managed to avoid men for most of my life. I wasn’t a nun by any means, but I know what the hot guys want—and it usually isn’t me. How I got myself involved in a love triangle with one sexy photographer and a millionaire bachelor, who had women worshiping the ground he walked on, is beyond me. Yet, here I am, attempting to navigate waters that I’ve never expected to. Trying to figure out which man was right for me, dealing with my family—and have I told you about the paparazzi? Well, it’s all really making me rethink the situation. Who do I trust? Who’s being genuine? What should I do if both men are perfect for me in different ways? How the hell am I supposed to choose just one? Or better yet do I have to choose just one?

I needed time to at least talk to Simon and explain there was somebody else—but Spencer wouldn’t listen…

I had mind blowing sex last night but I didn’t remember making this official. I still needed to talk to Simon, at the very least he deserved—he deserved someone better than me. That was what this all boiled down to. I had turned into the one thing I used to despise, a careless, thoughtless, wishy-washy, Barbie and a slutty one at that. Everything had felt so good in the moment, but I was drunk and not thinking. What am I going to say to Simon? Fuck, what am I going to say to Spencer?

“Spencer I—”

“Don’t,” he said, chuckling and holding his hand up. “Don’t even start with the excuses. You chose to be here with me. Why the fuck do you keep doing this to me if you’re in love with him?” he roared, slamming his fist into the mattress.

“I don’t know if I’m in love with him—”

Cutting me off, he stood from the bed, his deep voice shook the walls as he spoke. “Now!” he spat, as he moved closer to me. “Choose now!” he growled.

“I can’t,” I said back as sternly as I could.

“You can’t or you won’t?” Taking a step back, he turned from me shoving his hands through his tousled hair, the muscles in his back flexed, and I nearly went knees to the floor.

“You can’t have us both, Elizabeth. You either stay with me, be with only me, love only me—or fucking leave.”

His words were raw and savage as he turned back to face me. I couldn’t talk, so I simply stared up at him. This isn’t happening, is it? Things were perfect five minutes ago, now everything is just wrong. It’s all wrong.

Coming quickly toward me, he grabbed my upper arms, taking me to lie down on the bed. He stared into my eyes before running his hand up the inside of my thigh. Two fingers slid deep inside me. Who was I kidding? Just seeing him made me aroused and arguing with him only made it worse.

A tale as old as time—a girl, tall and wispy, hair the color of the sun, eyes as blue as the sky, caught in a love triangle with the noblest of men…Not in this book, honey!

Okay so maybe I am caught up in a love triangle, but I’m sure as hell not running through a field of daisies in a sun dress. My name is Elizabeth and I’ve managed to avoid men for most of my life. I wasn’t a nun by any means, but I know what the hot guys want—and it usually isn’t me. How I got myself involved in a love triangle with one sexy photographer and a millionaire bachelor, who had women worshiping the ground he walked on, is beyond me.

How the hell am I supposed to choose just one? Or better yet do I have to choose just one?

We find a very insecure Elizabeth getting caught up in a love triangle with a photographer-Simon and a billionaire-Spencer who is partners with her brothers.

We have Spencer who seems to have a possessive nature when it comes to Elizabeth but never seems to act on his feelings, which is very confusing for Elizabeth. When she is in Spencer’s presence her heart rate speeds up and her attraction escalates Simon on the other hand is there and hands on, he is easy to talk to and very attentive, which makes it harder for her. When Simon has to leave for work for several weeks we get to see a little more of Spencer and all I have to say is WOW. The sex scenes were perfectly written, you could feel the heat radiating off of them.  

Who is Beth going to choose and is it the right choice?

I was on the edge of my seat reading this book. I was a little bothered that a size 12 is considered a large woman and loved how both Spencer and Simon would try to stomp out her insecurities. I couldn’t help but think that there was more to Simon than meets the eye.  And the triangle that was also starting with her brothers Chuck and Teddy and her best friend Gia was great.

Was a gut feeling, fate, an undeniable attraction enough? I had no idea, but I sure as hell wasn’t going down without a fight.

M.E. Gordon really captures you right from the start. Your heart pounds right along with Beth’s and you find yourself choosing right alonger with her. This is not a stand alone, we find out in the epilogue that it seems to be just getting started.  I can’t wait to see what’s coming next. Thank you for a great read and I can’t wait to see more from all of these great characters.
