Lizzie Gilbred is a smart, capable woman when it comes to
her career, but her love life never seems to fall into
place. She has fallen in love with a man who has left her
not once but twice for the same woman. To make matters
worse, this time he broke up with her through a text
message. Once she realizes how pathetic she is longing for
him, she decides she needs to live on the edge. It is
Christmastime, and she needs a little present to take her
mind off her ex. When she sees Gauge, her tenant, going up
to his apartment above her garage, she knows that he is the
perfect gift to rinse away all her bad memories. What
could be better than some wild one-night stand to give her
a new outlook on life? Who knew that she would let her
heart become entangled with her sexy boarder?
Patrick Gauge is a musician who never seems to stay in one
place, yet he has remained in Fantasy, Michigan longer than
anywhere else. He has no particular ties to the town
except Nina, the woman he loves who is now married to his
best friend. Of course, there is also his music store, but
that only reminds him of Nina. When Lizzie comes knocking
on his door, he knows what she is after. He is more than
willing to accommodate her if only to distract himself from
Nina for a while. He never thought one night would not be
enough to fulfill his cravings. How does a man who never
intended to settle down deal with the indescribable
feelings in his heart? Will he have the courage to stay or
will he run away?
Tori Carrington has written a blazing hot romance. This
writing duo has taken the idea of a one-night stand and let
it blossom into something more. Lizzie knows what she
wants out of life, and decides to grasp the opportunity
when it is presented to her. Gauge is content with
wandering from town to town -- never settling down and
certainly never giving his heart to anything but his
music. I enjoyed watching the barriers bending and
eventually breaking as Lizzie's conservative world collided
with Gauge's daring one. RESTLESS takes us through an
arduous journey of the heart for this seemingly mismatched
pair. This is a perfect tale to cuddle up with, and I am
sure it will warm up those wintry nights.
Straitlaced lawyer Lizzie Gilbred has had it with being a
good girl. This Christmas, she's going to be naughty—very,
very naughty. And lucky for her, she knows just the guy to
help her….
Patrick Gauge, a footloose musician with a body to die for,
is exactly the type of man Lizzie's got on her holiday wish
list. What better way to take the plunge into the official
world of "bad girl-dom" than jumping right into his bed!
Gauge makes her body sing…and it's a wickedly seductive
tune.
Lizzie can't believe what a wildcat she becomes in his
arms. But it's clearly just a physical thing between her
and the restless guitarist….
That is, unless she can find a new song for them to play—
one with more permanent lyrics!
