The Suit
by B N Toler
What happens when two dreams collide?
Fed up with the farm life and his one-time love of training horses, John Wilson has traded his tattered boots and jeans for power suits and cufflinks. Through hard work and determination, John has just graduated from law school and is focused on a fresh start. Refusing to let his bitter past hinder his future, John is intent on moving forward with his new life.Except there’s one last thing he has to do—settle old debts before he can truly move on.
Unfortunately, settling debts involves him returning to a life he’s worked hard to forget. A mind-numbing summer working on a horse farm awaits him, and he’s dreading every damn minute of it.
Edie James is mourning the loss of her grandfather when John Wilson shows up in his perfectly tailored suit, reeking sexiness and city elegance—everything she’s not. Their meeting is less than pleasant as they both distastefully size up one another.
She thinks he’s arrogant and a white-collar yuppie.
He thinks she’s a simple, goody two-shoes farm girl.
Edie’s grandfather made a new will before he passed leaving stipulations in order for Edie to inherit the family farm. And as if that wasn’t enough of a challenge, the suit has to work on the farm with her for three months to settle a debt he owed to her grandfather.
And he’s moving in with her.
With a rocky start, the two seemingly polar opposites call a truce and attempt to be friends. As their unexpected friendship blooms, an attraction develops and both realize their first impression of each other is far from the truth. Now this once dreaded summer is set to be the hottest and most unforgettable they've ever had.
MY REVIEW
With a sweet but secretly naughty female lead, a hot and sexy male lead who hides his past, and a fantastic backdrop on a horse farm...you've got the ingredients for the perfect book for a great weekend read.
For me, this story started off strong, slowed a bit about a third of the way in, then took off like a rocket the last half of the book. I liked getting the alternating viewpoints between Edie and John-it's always a welcome thing to have the male point of view in any romance book, and this one is no exception.
I don't want to give too much away, so I'll say that the inventive way Edie devises for them to read portions of the books she loves makes for scintillating scenes for those of us reading this story. ;-)
Edie and John fit together perfectly, so when the summer ends and their lives go on as they were headed before Edie's grandfather passed away it has you saying "no, no, no...please give them an HEA!" Not going to spoil the ending for you, so I'll just say I was pretty darn happy with the way things ended up...and now I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in the series so I can find out how things go for Nikki and Parker!
This is clearly for the 18+ readers due to language and sexual content, and gets a strong 4.5 stars from me.
