Isabelle Chambers is a kindergarten teacher that has hit a
really rough patch in life. Two months prior she lost her
husband of two years in a motor vehicle crash. When her
health was giving her signs of a pregnancy, Isabelle was
delivered another blow with a brain tumor diagnosis.
Surgery is mandatory, and her doctor is pushing for it soon,
however her chance of survival is not good. Needing her
girlfriends more than ever, she gathers them all together to
deliver the news. Isabelle makes a decision to live a little before
she goes under the knife. When she posts her "bucket list"
online via Twitter, she gets an offer from a stranger that
she can't refuse.
Cole Davies is the lead singer for the rock band the
Scandals. Even having fame and fortune, he still feels a
bit incomplete. When Isabelle posts her bucket list, he can't resist the pull to
help her. Cole is intrigued by Izzy. She is the one and only woman that
doesn't seem to be fazed by his fame and fortune, and to him she
is a challenge. Cole invites Izzy to come on tour with him
and the band, fulfilling one item on her list. When Cole
sees Izzy for the first time, his attraction to her
intensifies. When Izzy mistakenly reveals the second list
and its location, it isn't long before the entire band knows
she has some sexual desires she wants to experience.
Izzy's symptoms are getting worse, and Cole knows she is downplaying her
diagnosis. It is then that Cole makes it his mission to complete everything on
Izzy's list for her and
with her. What he didn't count on was falling in love
with her.
News of a girlfriend in New York surface, so Izzy returns home
earlier than planned instead of facing Cole. While back
home with her girlfriends and her mother, Izzy collapses and
is rushed into surgery ahead of schedule. When word
reaches Cole, he and the band cancel everything indefinitely and rush to her
side. Will
Cole have a chance to tell Izzy he loves her, or will she
never wake up and be part of his life again?
I absolutely loved this story! As a debut, Denis Marie created a great novel
with
strong characters and the workings to become a great series!
Like most romance novels the focus is on the two main
characters but Denise Marie also brought in some of the
secondary characters as well. She limited the number of
intimate scenes which allowed her to concentrate on building
their relationship stronger. If TO DO HIM LIST is any
indication of what is to come from Denis Marie, I cannot wait to see what the
next installment will bring!
With her life expectancy most likely measured in weeks,
Isabelle Chambers jettisons her risk-free,
missionary-position life for a to-do list that is short on
dull and long on passion.
Cole Davies may be living his dream as lead singer for
Scandals complete with fame, fortune, and unlimited female
attention, but life still feels incomplete. So when Isabelle
takes her list viral on Twitter he can't resist her appeal.
From flying to bondage and touring with the band to getting
it on in public, Isabelle's To-Do Him List turns them both
inside out. Then things get hotter than either planned and
they both need to decide what they'll risk for love.
