THROWN FOR A CURVE is Book two in Sugar Jamison's Perfect
Fit series. After reading the previous book, I was
looking
forward to reading about a romance between Colin O'Connell
and Cherri Rudy. Colin and Cherri are physically attracted
to each other but there are a few obstacles to finding
happiness together.
At first, Colin is worried about the
age difference. He is twelve years older than her. She's
also the best friend of his buddy's wife and that makes him
cautious as well. I was so happy when the two finally did
get together.
One thing I really like about THROWN FOR A
CURVE is that it really shows how their relationship
evolves. They start out as friends, then become intimate,
and then finally have a more committed relationship.
Colin
is a dream -- super sexy and a sweetheart. Even though he
has some feelings of insecurity because of how his ex-
girlfriend treated him, he always treats Cherri with
respect. He is willing to do whatever it takes to make
Cherri feel happy and fulfilled, even if it means not
getting the outcome he wants.
I love how supportive he is
with Cherri when she has to deal with all the health
problems
her grandmother has. I had a lot of sympathy for what she
went through, but I think that Colin put a little more
work into making the relationship.
The combination of sexy
and caring makes Colin one of my favorite heroes from a
contemporary romance. Their love story really drew me in
and was very powerful. The chemistry between Cherri and
Colin sizzles and makes for some very romantic and hot
scenes.
The supporting characters in this story really add to the
overall story and are very three-dimensional. The
relationship between Mike and Colin, Colin and his father,
and Cherri and her grandmother are extremely textured and
feel very real. Baba's dog Rufus creates some light moments
amidst all the drama.
I liked how the things got resolved by the end of THROWN
FOR A CURVE. I look forward to reading the next story in
this series and see how things work out for Cherri's friend
Belinda.
WHEN YOU’RE A big girl Cherri has often wished she were thin and graceful like a ballerina instead of being a six-foot-tall blonde with curves that require serious caution. Surely a charming Irishman like her new boss Colin, with his throaty brogue and to-die-for bod, would never go for someone like Cherri. Unless maybe he’s looking for the exact opposite of a delicate lass? there’s more of you to love When Colin hired Cherri to work in his furniture-restoration shop, he had his eyes, first and foremost, on her artistic talents. But now he can’t help but see Cherri for the lush, spirited beauty that she is…and, soon enough, he finds himself mixing business with pleasure. But Cherri turns out to be more vulnerable than she appears. Is she in need of more than Colin can give? Or could it be that a feeling stronger than lust has him thrown for a curve?
