NYC dwellers, Matilda (Tilda) Davies and Daniel Logan both
make lists. Tilda, owner of an upscale stationary store,
makes lists while playing matchmaker, putting people
together. She makes lists about people she watches in her
social circles. People know they can come to her for what
or who they are looking for. She provides a discreet
introduction to individuals with like needs but would
never
believe herself worthy of being on her own prized list.
She
was taught early on that wanting love was not for her.
Sexual relationships are acceptable but not love. Never.
Daniel, an FBI agent, makes lists in the black notebook
he carries with him always. He loves puzzles, putting
pieces together to solve, finding perfect justice. He
specializes in financial crimes. He, too, is very
successful. Is he prepared for the puzzle that is Tilda?
Tilda is beautiful, successful, detached, determined and
a
loner. She has countless sexual encounters but never a
relationship that could lead to love, marriage and a
family.
That will never be for her. as her inner demons remind
her
constantly. When she meets handsome, delightful Daniel,
he
charms and intrigues her. He falls instantly in love with
Tilda. She knows better but their sexually charged
attraction sizzles, ignites and several months later they
marry. Daniel believes in forever. Tilda, believes they
need to
divorce.
THE LIST is told in flashbacks. When her past comes
front and center it shows why Tilda has problems with
keeping what she wants.
Her mother, selfish beyond belief, uncaring and never
there
for her daughter left a vacuum that was never filled, Her
sexual affair at seventeen with her mother's assistant and
lover,
resulted in her being sent away to school with no
communication from her angry mother for many years.
I did not like Tilda. I grew tired of too many sexual
encounters and descriptions. I do agree with her
assessment
of real communication using the old fashioned way with
words, paper and ink. Daniel was special. Patient,
always
there for her, sweet and funny. His card to Tilda on the
last page tugged at my heartstrings and made a too long,
too
much sexual content read, worthwhile in the end.
Matchmaker and stationery shop owner Matilda Davies brings
people together. For those on her list, Tilda will find
the
man or woman of their dreams—whether it’s for an hour or a
lifetime. But due to a painful past, the British expat has
never put her own name on the list. Instead, she limits
herself to emotionless and commitment-free hookups. Then
she
meets Daniel, who wants not just her body, but also her
heart…
Daniel Logan hides the soul of a poet under the suit and
tie
of an FBI agent. Specializing in financial crimes, he
pieces
together stories of greed and ensures justice is done. He
plays by the rules—until he meets Tilda. He’s drawn in by
her passion as well as her mysteriousness. Daniel knows
that
no matter her secrets, he’s the perfect match for Tilda.
But
even pleasure doesn’t come with a guarantee…
