Blurb:Doppelbanger; A person who bangs someone solely because they look similar to another person they want to bang.
At thirty-five, Gina Bourque is still playing the field. If he’s single, in his early twenties with dark hair and brooding eyes, there’s a damn good chance you’ll find him in her little black book.
Jeffrey Ryan never imagined that at nearly forty he’d find himself widowed and a single dad. But here he is—stumbling through this thing called life with two impressionable daughters watching his every move.
When Gina and Jeffrey meet while cruising the Caribbean, sparks fly and not in a good way. He’s too old. Too blond. Too stiff. Yet she’s still drawn to him like a moth to a flame. She’s too vulgar. Too sassy. Too wild. But she ignites something inside of him he can’t ignore.
We all know what happens when you play with fire. . . someone’s bound to get burned.
Uhhhh, I don’t know how I’m feeling about this. The beginning started out fantastic. A solid five stars and I was super excited for their romance. The chemistry was amazing and well written. But something happened about 2/3 of the way in. Their characters seem to change and become people I couldn’t relate to or even like. I stopped caring about Gina’s feelings because I felt she was being too much of a push-over. I think Gina deserves better, and she should have not let him back into her life.
He’s an ass, totally disliked his character from the beginning. I found him to be manipulative and controlling. It sucks because it was really good until he started to get selfish and demand things that he didn’t deserve. And I’m pissed at Gina because she just took it. Like she started out all bad ass and not giving a crap about how he saw here. Like her or don’t but take her as she is, I loved that about her. Then they had some amazing sex and all of a sudden she falls all over herself to please him? Nah, girl, you can do better.
Oh well, its not for everyone I guess.
