For Chloe Adkins, a road trip across the Midwest offers the perfect opportunity to sort out her life. But just after she crosses the Ohio border, a summer storm and a near-empty gas tank force her to stop at a small Bed and Breakfast. And when Chloe meets the B&B’s sexy owner, she finds that her road trip has suddenly lost its appeal. Marcus Delaney is doing all he can to try and save his family’s B&B, so when a much-needed customer appears at his door, he’s more than happy to have her stay. Of course, the fact that she’s one of the sexiest women he’s ever seen doesn’t hurt either. When Chloe suggests a weekend of no-strings-attached sex, the temptation to mix pleasure with business becomes too much for Marcus to resist. A STRANGER’S BED is one of those books I read and wonder why such situations don’t happen in reality. I must confess, after reading Marcus and Chloe’s story, I was tempted to drive out during the first storm of the season and see if I could come across a Marcus of my own. Sadly, logic prevailed, but the urge to do so is testament to Sophia Rae’s talent in creating an incredibly desirable hero. Marcus is the epitome of the perfect hero. He’s strong, capable, patient, and caring – a perfect match for Chloe. Chloe is one of those quintessentially charming heroines. She’s sweet, but vulnerable and there is nothing not to like about her. She both wants and fears love, and makes mistakes because of that. They fit well together, their abilities complimenting one another’s even before they realize they’re falling in love. As for Sara and Luke, Marcus’s siblings, they too are likeable and interesting and I was definitely eager to read their stories after A STRANGER’S BED. Perhaps if I could wish for one thing it would be more complexity to the story. Obstacles at times seem too easily overcome, which perhaps lightens the emphasis on the characters’ growth. Conversely, one of the charms of A STRANGER’S BED is that it is simply a charming story. A STRANGER’S BED is the perfect book to curl up with on a rainy day. It’s sexy, fun, and will leave you with a smile on your face. Chloe and Marcus are both endearing characters I’d love to know, were they real. The love scenes are undeniably hot, so don’t bother to turn up the heat before reading. The next time it rains, I recommend curling up with A STRANGER’S BED and staying for a spell with Marcus and Chloe. Just make sure the car keys are kept far away. |
