5 Smooches!
Synopsis
He was a pig, a jerk, selfish, callous, crude, tactless, prone to outbursts and gorgeous. The kind of gorgeous where you didn’t even attempt to hide the fact that you were staring. I knew the type: His entire life he has coasted on his good looks, artificial charm, and sex appeal. Everyone wanted to be him or be ON him. I had been hurt by jerks like him before. He was like those guys but far worse.
I was the unfortunate sucker to be offered a gig I desperately needed as his live-in chef for a Summer in the Hamptons. But I wasn’t like the other girls–the models and socialites who came through the revolving door of his bedroom. I would bite the bullet, take the job, deal with his sexist comments, his expectation that I would fawn over him, and have no problem letting the door hit my ass on the way out when I was done with the gig.
Then something unexpected happened that changed everything and I realized that there maybe more to him than the labels I had affixed to his character. Maybe.
But if he really wanted me, it wasn’t going to be easy, not like everything else in his life. He was going to have to work, I was going to make him miserable. He was going to hate wanting me just as much as I hated myself for wanting him back.
Heath Hillabrand: International Supermodel. Womanizer. Gorgeous, Rotten, Scoundrel.
Review
Where to start…….this wasn’t your typical romance book. Sadie is a personal chef and Heath is a HOT male model. Circumstances make her available for a new position, which happens to be a chef/assistant/party planner to the big headed model. But Sadie has been burnt and isn’t prepared to end up in a situation like that again, enter sarcastic comments and bursts of truth. She doesn’t seem to have a filter when she doesn’t like something.
Sadie has a sad background and gives you a slight insight into why she is like she is, enter a bad relationship and you get closed off Sadie, not looking for anything with the bad boy arrogant jerk types and therefore doesn’t want to form a close relationship of any sort with Heath.
Heath comes across as the typical playboy, he gets what he wants, when he wants. It seems as though Sadie is just a challenge to him. And they both like to push each other’s buttons. But there is so many more layers to him that you can’t help but love him.
“Those nights when you and I would just talk, don’t tell me you didn’t feel what I felt.”
Working with heath straight away seems to be a problem for Sadie, from his late night activities and the habits he has, to the no nonsense air he has about him seems to rub her the wrong way. But she can’t stay away from him.
“Heath Hillabrand is bad news…no, he’s the worst news. But the way he kissed me, it was almost tender.”
Heath and Sadie’s relationship takes a turn after an incident leaves Heath quite vulnerable and alone, this starts the roller-coaster that is Sadie and Heath. The banter between these two is hilarious to read and the tension between them is off the charts. You don’t know whether they will fight or get down and dirty.
“You are a pompous, egotistical, arrogant, rude, tactless, a*hole.” You know what you are, you are an uptight…yeah I know you love that don’t you? Uptight, stuck – up, prissy, prudish, snob.”
They have many ups and downs in their relationship, it seems like neither one is willing to go that little bit more from friends with benefits to something more. Sadie seems to be dragging her heels a little more though. Heath makes her feel things that she hasn’t before and it scares her. Just when things seem to be going well for these 2, people emerge, things are said, things are taken the wrong way and a gut wrenching made me cry incident happens.
This book will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, to laughing with them and then crying with them. Heath and Sadie had an amazing story and is a complete must read. Well done Nina G Jones on another fantastic read.
“It’s okay. You’re the perfect b*tch and im the perfect a*hole”
