HIS KIND OF TROUBLE is Book 2 in Terri L. Austin's
Beauty and the Brit series. As somebody who is new to
this series and this author, I was pleasantly surprised
at how much I enjoyed this book. The heroine and hero of
HIS KIND OF TROUBLE are related to the couple in the
previous book. The story starts out with a prologue that
gives a little background information like how the main
characters first met, and what they were like then.
Monica Campbell is a tough, no-nonsense business woman
now but when sexy ghost of wilder days past Cal Hughes
reappears in her life, she struggles to unwind without
completely unraveling. With Monica, Terri L. Austin
creates a flawed yet sympathetic character. I like the
parallels between Monica and Cal's visiting baby sister,
and the way he connects with Monica over their respective
family conflicts. Her reasons for stifling herself are
deeply personal and connected to so many things that have
happened in her life that left her wounded. Her romantic
tryst with Cal, years earlier, is one of her happier
memories. The romance that develops in the here and now
between her and Cal is electric and intensely passionate.
Even though she is extremely reluctant to become
emotionally involved with Cal, the bond that is created between
them and the sense of camaraderie becomes just as strong as
their passion for each other.
Cal Hughes is like a naughty guardian angel, seducing
Monica and getting her to act on impulse and live the way
she wants to, rather than how she thinks she ought to. I
thoroughly fell for Cal while reading HIS KIND OF
TROUBLE. Cal is such a yummy hero -- sexy, fun, cool
British accent, and he genuinely cares about Monica. It
comes as a little bit of a surprise to Cal, but it's not
just lust and selfish reasons that make him want to
liberate Monica from a job she hates and a bland, joyless
existence. I love the hidden depth to Cal and how
completely he falls for Monica. Cal in love is a
beautiful thing.
HIS KIND OF TROUBLE is better than chocolate. This is a
perfect romance for contemporary romance fans who like
their romance extra steamy, characters with complexity,
fun flirty chemistry, and raw emotion. HIS KIND OF
TROUBLE is one of the best romances I've read this year.
I can't wait for the next book by Terri L. Austin!
"Rougher."
"Oh, Miss Prim likes it rough, does she?"
"Yes." With every twist of his fingers, a hot spark shot
straight through her. It was almost unbearable. The desert
wind whipped around the car, causing it to shudder. She
shuddered right along with it.
Monica Campbell may have a history as a wild child, but
she's changed her ways. She's respectable, responsible-and,
most importantly, she's sworn off bad boys. That is, until
Callum Hughes roars back into her life with his sexy British
accent and killer smile.
Cal remembers every steamy moment he shared with Monica, but
he barely recognizes the straight-laced woman she's become.
Determined to lure Monica into letting go of her
inhibitions, Cal will use every trick he knows to fire her
blood and tempt her body...reminding her
just how good it can feel to be bad-and his.
