Daniel Hiddleston, nicknamed Mud, is a superstar Australian rugby player, but during the off-season he is restless. All the overabundance of energy, testosterone and adrenaline usually expended during the season has to be dealt with when not playing; in Mud's case, sex is where he finds his release. Mud is a big, wild beast at work and at play, and that's why his long-time girlfriend Jorja Jones loves him so much. But recently, Mud is looking preoccupied and it's beginning to worry Jorja; she knows women throw themselves at her boyfriend all the time; he seems to only have eyes for her, but still she is beginning to wonder if she's good enough for him, or if he's thinking of ending their relationship after 6 years.
JORJA is the fifth instalment in the Secret Confessions: Sydney Housewives series, the life of filthy rich rugby players and their beautiful significant others. Surprisingly enough even though JORJA is the first book of the series I have read so far, I felt perfectly comfortable in the world of Australian rugby WAGs -- wives and girlfriends. JORJA is an erotic short story, and within the confines of the genre, Ms. Couper does an admirable job at describing the world of the wealthy Sydney Housewives, as well as providing very thorough character development. Jorja Jones, or JJ, is a great character: she knows what she wants, she is not afraid to speak her mind, but still she is wary of discussing her preoccupations with WAGs, whom most are merely friendly acquaintances. I love Mud, the mighty king of the rugby jungle, who is really a pussycat at heart; he will go to any lengths to please his beloved Jorja.
JORJA is very well written, unapologetically Australian which contributes to its charm, and is an extremely quick read, not only because it's short but because it's so good and so entertaining. JORJA starts without preamble: we plunge right into the passionate sex life of Jorja and Mud, which is of course very steamy. But then Ms. Couper springs a few surprises on us as Jorja and Mud face an existential crisis. Yes, in so few pages, JORJA is a complete story: I truly cared for the characters and what happened to them. And I just loved the ending! I am very much looking forward to the rest of the Secret Confessions: Sydney Housewives series. Very impressive!
