BLURB
The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city.
Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts.
I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time.
Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was. You see, that unexpected invitation I received? Well, it hadn’t actually been addressed to me—it was sent to my ex-roommate who’d bounced a check for two months’ rent and moved out in the middle of the night. I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding.
Once caught, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I might’ve plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail.
Outside, I jumped into a taxi. My heart ricocheted against my ribs as we drove down the block—but at least I’d escaped unscathed.
Or so I thought.
Until I realized I’d left my cell phone behind at the table.
Take one guess who found it?
This is the crazy story of how Hudson Rothschild and I met. But trust me, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.
REVIEW
Hudson and Stella's story was good with a lot of character development. Although I like a lot of angst, this slow burn was great for these characters.
Stella is a master at her skill. She has a profound way of using her senses, specifically her nose, to make the most fabulous smells for her perfumes. Her desire to grow and make something of herself made me like her. She has the heart of gold and she worked hard. Life throws curve balls and boy did she has some thrown her way but she push on and hey what better way to get over things than crash a wedding.
Hudson is a business man that can make anything work and I do mean anything. He business skills are so much like Stella them meeting was meant to be. At the wedding Stella knows there is so much more to Hudson than him helping her but the connection they instantly have makes this slow burn even better. Hudson is a little leery of Stella and has questions when things begin to come out. Will the fire that is slowly igniting continue to grow? Can they overcome?
Vi Keeland has a way to make you fall for her characters but also make you picture the scenes in your mind and feel what they are and more. This slow burn is well worth the wait.
