Pippa Bay Cox, a 26 year-old Brit beauty, is sick of crunching
numbers as an associate engineer. Deciding to surprise
Mark, her 44 year old boyfriend, she heads home to have an
unexpected lunch with him. Together for almost a year,
surely he would cheer her up and make her feel better about
a job she hates. Surprise! Surprise! She watches in
shocked horror as his thrusting white butt shags another
woman in their bed. No problem ordering him and his things
out of her apartment. He is a grubber and they are going
nowhere. Time for a change. Pippa decides to fly to
Boston to visit her beloved grandfather, and a good friend
and ex-co-worker, Ruby. Time for new beginnings?
At Heathrow Airport, Jensen is returning to Boston after
cleaning up a mess-up by his office in an upcoming legal
matter. His route to his seat is blocked by a tall,
attractive young lady who looks confused. He offers to
assist and discovers she is his seat mate. Too soon Pippa
is babbling to cover her nervousness and drinks too much
complimentary champagne. Too much bubbly, too fast, on an
empty stomach is causing her to ramble and when she burps,
Jensen feigns sleep to escape her. Jensen decides she is
not his type and although she is a gorgeous lady, ultimately he
thinks she is a completely nutty character. At 34,
divorced from a marriage that lasted only four months, his
only interest is his career. He works almost 24/7 wanting
to become a partner in his law firm. He has no
life except work. That is soon to change big time.
Christina Lauren never disappoints. I always fall in love
with the male lead and Jensen is no exception. What is not
to love about this tall hunk, with deep green eyes and a
dimple buried in his left cheek? He is gorgeous, bright and
so funny. So what if he irons his pants and wears cashmere
sweaters instead of Tee's. He polishes his shoes, unpacks
his suitcase as soon as he arrives home from a trip and is
just plain adorable. Jensen is almost perfect! Pippa is
sweet, honest, with a big heart, and always true
to herself. A colorful character who everyone loves, she
makes me laugh and cry.
This is the ninth in the BEAUTIFUL
series and Hanna, Will, Max and Sara, Niall and Ruby play
warm roles in sub-plots during this wild, wonderful journey
to visit the vineyards and breweries along the East Coast,
ending up in a lavish rented cabin in Vermont. It is a
story filled with smiles, some hot steam, and in the end the
happy ending that always makes me happy and wanting more.
5 Stars. What a fantastic duo and another winner. Simply
irresistible and could not lay it down. I loved, loved,
loved it!
