Synopsis

A woman ready to give up on love meets her match in a man she never expected to fall for in this heartwarming and steamy new romantic comedy by USA Today bestselling author Nicola Marsh.

For almost a decade, successful 37-year-old Samira Broderick has used her bustling LA practice as an excuse to avoid a trip home to Australia. She still resents her meddling Indian mother for arranging her marriage to a man who didn't stick around when the going got tough, but now with a new job Down Under, she's finally ready to reconnect with her. And while she's there, a hot international fling might be just what she needs to get out of her recent funk. 

Aussie stuntman, Rory Radcliffe, has been hiding his stutter for years by avoiding speaking roles. When a job he can't refuse comes up as a reality show host, he knows he'll need some help for the audition: a dialect coach. But he finds himself at a loss for words when he discovers it's the same sexy woman with whom he just had a mind-blowing one-night stand... 

Samira can think of many reasons why Rory is completely wrong for her: he's ten years her junior, for one, and he's not Indian--something Samira's mother would never approve of. Even if things were to get serious, there's no reason to tell her mother...is there?

Well, this is disappointing. I wanted to love this book. I always want to love the books I read. It's why I read them, obviously. Unfortunately, some books just don't do it for me. And this one definitely didn't even come close to doing it for me. My main problem with this book is that despite being a......more

Goodreads review by Christy

3.5 stars I was expecting this book to be light and fun based on the cover, but it went much deeper than I thought. This was my first book by Nicola Marsh and I enjoyed it a lot. I especially loved the representation of (view spoiler)[ of infertility and the way it was handled (hide spoiler)] but I've got to be honest, I really ha......more
