The One For Me

If you're into insta-love, then THE ONE FOR ME is probably gonna scratch your itches. While Crystal has been lusting after Mark for a while, he doesn't notice her until she falls into his arms - literally. Once she does, he is 100% into her in a matter of moments. Without knowing her name, he decides she is his "angel" (and calls her that all. the. time.) and that they'll build a life together. That's it, full steam ahead, no looking back. Prior to Crystal, he was a one-and-done type of fellow and now he's into monogamous commitment.

I barely finished this one. I just couldn't buy the premise and the way that Landon set up these characters. I don't buy that Mark is the type of dude who would build his life around a risk like this, nor do I buy that Crystal would be comfortable with Mark's instant control. The sex is hot, can't lie, but didn't feel grounded in these characters or their choices for it to fully work for me.

However! THE ONE FOR ME is steamy and fluffy and could definitely be right up your alley! Reading romance is so often about fantastical escapism and perhaps that's what you're looking for. If that's the case, then climb aboard with this story. Landon's writing sparkles, and there are loads of folks all over the internet who really resonated with these characters, this story, and this series. I am perhaps in the minority! If you read this one and enjoy it, please let me know what I'm missing!

SUMMARY

The New York Times bestselling author of Watch Over Me delivers a steamy new novel of irresistible attraction in her popular Danvers series.

Mark DeSanto has never denied himself anything—especially in the bedroom. Rich, attractive, and successful, men envy him and women desire him. But when a sweet, guileless beauty faints at his feet, he suddenly finds himself wondering if it’s time to look for something more lasting....

Until her divorce, Crystal Webber never knew what it was like to follow her heart. Now she wants to experience all life has to offer. So when she catches a glimpse of Mark DeSanto in the halls of Danvers International, she’s instantly infatuated—and eager to join him for a walk on the wild side. Fainting at his feet wasn’t her plan, but at least it got his attention....

But for the first time, Mark wants to take things slow, which—considering the electricity between them—may take far more willpower than he’s ever had.
