One Week To Score by Kate Meader Review
4.5 Smooches
Synopsis
He’s the man she loves to hate . . .
Olivia Kane’s wedding day has just imploded spectacularly. Shots lined up at the bar? Bring it. Hot stranger on the hook? Come on down. What this party does not need is six feet and change of home-grown Texas cockiness in the form of her brother’s best friend, the man who broke her heart seven years ago.
She’s the woman he has to have . . .
Flynn Cross won’t stand by while Liv finds sensual solace in the arms of a stranger, not when his own hard-for-her body is more than up for the task. For one week, he’ll make her honeymoon-for-one a sizzling party for two.
Breaking the rules, one steamy night at a time . . .
But the taboo they’re breaking is only the beginning . . . and Flynn’s part in Liv’s wedding debacle could bring about their end.
Review
“You were off-limits for a whole host of reasons but now, I’m taking what belongs to me.”
Kate Meader is simply an author I can count on. Time and time again she delivers unique and exciting stories that are both sexy and fun. Olivia and Flynn’s story falls into my favorite all time troupe, brother’s best friend, and while the taboo of keeping what they are doing secret is a driving force in the drama there is still so much more to it.
“You like it fast and furious? Slow and languorous? Let me learn you, Livie.”
When Olivia finds her soon to be husband balls deep into the maid of honor right before her wedding she does what any normal, sane, sexy woman would do. She hops on a plane to go on her honeymoon with the intention of screwing the pain away. She has always been safe and done what is right, even when she wanted to be bad in her youth with the one boy who tempted her – her brother’s best friend, Flynn. Time and time again she made the safe choice, the one choice that pleased her parents and was expected of her. But now all bets are off and she is going to do what she wants. What she doesn’t expect is the one man she hates, the one who has both tempted her the most and hurt her the most, to be on the airplane with her with a proposition of his own.
“You slay me, Liv. Into little pieces. Always have.”
There was so much to love in this fast and hot read. Mixed into the brother’s best friend troupe was another I adore which is the hate to love aspect. These two can irk each other like no one else and while Olivia gets all worked up, Flynn seems to stay impossible cool, calm and smug. The result is some amazing banter that not only has the story flowing and keeps the pages turning but had me the reader invested from the very start. Written in third person, which is my least favorite style typically to read, Kate Meader’s books grip me so much that not only do I not mind it, most of the time I don’t even notice.
One Week To Score was a fresh take of a well used idea. Sexy, fun and fast I could not stop reading and I know you will all love it too.
