“Listen, City,” she
said. “About last night. Thanks for—”
For getting me back
on the train? For taking me home with you, undressing me, letting me sleep in
your bed, washing my clothes, setting out a towel and a toothbrush for me, and
making me breakfast? Oh, and let’s not forget kissing me and touching me until
I damn near lost my mind.
“— for taking care of
me,” she finished.
Grade: A-
Cath Talarico knows a
mistake when she makes it, and God knows she’s made her share. So many, in
fact, that this Chicago girl knows London is her last, best shot at starting
over. But bad habits are hard to break, and soon Cath finds herself back where
she has vowed never to go . . . in the bed of a man who is all kinds of wrong:
too rich, too classy, too uptight for a free-spirited troublemaker like her.
Nev Chamberlain feels
trapped and miserable in his family’s banking empire. But beneath his
pinstripes is an artist and bohemian struggling to break free and lose control.
Mary Catherine — even her name turns him on — with her tattoos, her secrets,
and her gamine, sex-starved body, unleashes all kinds of fantasies.
When blue blood mixes
with bad blood, can a couple that is definitely wrong for each other ever be
perfectly right? And with a little luck and a lot of love, can they make last
night last a lifetime?
I Say:
About Last Night is
not light and fluffy; it’s intense and dark, with a very damaged heroine and
the world’s hottest banker. I haven’t been reading many contemporaries lately,
but Courtney Milan’s review convinced me to give this book—and this author—a
try. I’m glad I did.
