4 Smooches!
Synopsis
Her. Him. Alone. Beach house. Every Wednesday. Clothing optional.
Twenty-one-year-old Aria Prince has just moved back to her hometown to start over after a painful divorce. She’s always prided herself on being an early bloomer, but had no idea she’d be married, divorced, and the mother of a toddler by twenty-one. Surely menopause was just a few months away, especially considering the hot flashes and night sweats. Or was that just exhaustion?
Unlike her friends who were at school, going to parties, and sowing their oats—wild and otherwise—Aria’s days were measured in the number of orders she took at her family’s restaurant, the chapters she read in her nursing text, the amount of Cheerios she cleaned up off the floor, and the wet kisses she received from her son.
And that was just fine with her.
But when she began running into her former best-friend Tristan Green—who was home taking care of his sick father—at every turn, she remembered what it felt like to be just Aria. Not a single mother, or sleep-deprived nursing student, or royal screw up. And though she didn’t even have time to shave her legs, let alone consider a sex life, Tristan makes an offer she’d be a fool to refuse.
Each day they’d give themselves to those who needed them. Every day – except Wednesday. Wednesday they’d take what they needed from each other.
Did she forget to mention Tristan was gorgeous?
Or that they hated each other?
Well, you know what they say about the line between love and hate … it’s a skinny-ass bitch. The question was, could they keep their feelings out of it?
Review
It was a proposition that Tristan Green suggests to the girl that broke his heart in high school. One night a week,Wednesday, to be exact. To get all his aggressions out of his system for the Aria Prince that choose the captain of the football team over the geek. Both Tristan and Aria are in town handing new responsibilities, so why not indulge in one another, one day a week can’t be that bad right?!
One night, senior year, can change your world. Aria Prince and Alex Anders find out first hand. An unforeseen pregnancy has both Aria and Alex wed and moving to Iowa. But it’s not all beautiful and fairytales. Alex’s behavior turns into a resentment of having a family. Distancing himself from Cade and Aria happens very often. Leaving Aria to go back home to Florida and pursue nursing school to better her life for Cade. That’s when she runs into Tristan at a local grocery store. The chemistry between the two is there without a doubt. But as this novella continues, both have to work on their pasts and learn to communicate. A good job with the writing style and building of storyline. In this beautiful novella there is an HEA, witty banter, and blushing sexy time. 4 smooches for Wednesday by Clare James.
