Tristan Bamfield is fresh from the bed of an amazing woman he met in the bar. While preparing for his early morning meeting he looks up and to see that the person he was supposed to fire is his bedmate from the previous night. Based on his past he jumps to conclusions and fires Tallulah. Inevitably, he finds out that he has made a mistake. Tallulah is overly dramatic and draws the process out. I never identified with her. She was always emotionally overwrought. She overanalyzed everything and was in need of constant reassurance. I don’t know why Tristan would want to be with her because it just seemed like so much work. I guess Tristan understood her because he had a boat load of issues. I can say that he was honest about his issues, and he did try to reach out to Tallulah and explain himself. She either ran away, flaked out, or froze.
It wasn’t a very interesting storyline because everything happened at the beginning of the book. The rest of the book revolves around Tristan trying to please Tallulah while working on his own issues. The author did manage to throw in a couple of steamy love scenes that are definitely worthy of your attention. Tallulah is no prude and enjoys variety.
It was just an okay book for me. There was nothing that lit my fire and made me want to read it without putting it down. The characters weren’t memorable or particularly interesting. I will read other books by this author, and I hope she continues to improve her writing skills.
