JUST IN TIME by Addison Fox is WOW...WOW....WOW. This is
one
hot and sexually charged read. But as a fan of Ms. Fox's
Alaskan Night series I knew that when she wrote Avery
Marks and Roman Forsyth's book it would be steamy and full
of sexual tension.
When Roman comes home to Indigo Alaska for his best friend
Walker's wedding to Sloan, he knew he would be spending
quite
a bit of time with and around Avery. Not only is Avery a
bridesmaid, she also is his grandmother's right hand at her
bed and breakfast. After all the wedding festivities are
over
and all the out of town family leave Indigo, Roman is
thankful when his hometown gets back to normal. All he
wanted to do was get some R&R and hope that the injury he
received in a game before the NHL playoffs would heal and
that
his career would not be over. He was able to talk the
team doctor into clearing him to play in the playoffs and
to give him time to tell management about how serious the
injury is, but the doctor will not clear him to play the
next season.
Roman has some thinking to do about what his
next move is going to be. But the beautiful and sexy Avery
is all he can think about. A distraction comes in the form
of him being asked if he could be a stand in as
coach/trainer
for the local high school hockey team, until they can find
a replacement coach. He agrees, but when he goes to the ice
rink, where he grew up playing, and sees the condition it
is in he cannot believe that for a town that loves their
hockey they let the rink get in such bad shape Avery is
trying very hard to ignore all the feelings she has for
Roman. It is also not helping that when any of the towns
people to talk to her all they can say is that the two of
them should be getting back together. Well easier said then
done.
Roman does ask her about her trip to Ireland and
about Declan O'Mara, who is the owner of the B&B she
exchanged at for 3 months. He wants to know if there is a
relationship between the two of them, especially since he
has been told that Avery and Declan Skype each other,
often. She would like to say yes, but she cannot have
anything with Declan because of how she still feels for
Roman. Roman has been talking to his agent about what he
can possibly do for a career after he retires from hockey.
His agent has some feelers out there and it seems that a
major sports network might be interested in him. Out of the
blue Avery gets a call from a man that is in charge of a
hospitality convention in Anchorage. One of the speakers
had to cancel and he thought she might like to come talk to
her peers about her experience with the exchange program,
since it is still a fairly new concept. Avery hesitates
about going, but Roman pushes her to take the chance and in
the process invites himself along. Her and Roman have some
very hot time between the sheets, but she can sense that he
is holding back from her. Avery is approached by a man that
has hotels all over the world and well known in the
hospitality industry. He offers her a job that would take
her away from Indigo. Roman encourages her to take it. This
is also the same time he finds out that an offer has be
extended to his agent for him to join the sports network in
L.A.
Will they take the jobs and be separated again because of
career choices, or can they work out the logistics this
time and finally be together? I wont tell, you will just
have to read JUST IN TIME for yourself to find out. I can
tell you as someone who has been waiting for Roman and
Avery's story I was not disappointed. There is sexual
tension, friendship and love between the two of them. I
recommend JUST IN TIME to anyone that likes a well written
love story. Also if you are a fan of Ms. Fox's writing you
will love this one.
Sometimes your past is the only link to your future. After a rejuvenating trip to Ireland, Avery Marks can’t help her frustration with the pace of her life in Alaska. Back in the small town of Indigo—where everyone knows everyone else’s business—Avery dreams of a bigger life. But with her ex-boyfriend back in town, it’s hard to get the past out of her head. Drafted by the NHL right out of high school, Roman Forsyth left behind the love of his life to follow his pro career. With an injury sidelining him, Roman isn’t sure how much longer he’ll be at the top of his game. He is sure that he wants Avery just as much as he ever did. While Roman wants a chance to make things right, Avery isn’t sure she can just forgive and forget. But when their long- buried passion sizzles back to life, they need to escape the watchful eyes of the rest of the town long enough to figure out if it’s any harder to stay together than it’s been to stay apart …
