TITLE: Blurred Lines (Out of Line, #5)
AUTHOR: Jen McLaughlin
RELEASED: January 2015
SYNOPSIS:
Once burned...
Finding my fiancée naked on my couch might’ve been a good thing, if her ex-boyfriend hadn’t been with her. For the past eight years I’ve been a witness to the power of true love, but after getting burned I’d decided there wasn’t any hope for me finding it for myself. Until I met Noelle Brandt in a hotel bar. Maybe it wasn’t the most romantic meeting, but the moment I met her I knew I had to have her. The more I learn about her, the more I know I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her.
Twice shy...
I’d already found the love of my life, but I’d lost that love forever. And I’d been lost ever since. But one night a wounded man makes all of that go away. He makes me laugh, live, and feel alive. When he tells me he has no intention of letting me go, I finally begin to believe in the power of true love again. That is, until I find out who he really is…and by then, it’s far too late to correct the mistakes we’ve already made. By the time we both know the truth, the lines have already been blurred beyond recognition.
REVIEW BY: Gina
Riley and Noelle meet at a hotel bar while Noelle is at writers convention, they hit it off, and develop these feelings for each other, but they both have secrets about their lives that could jeopardize any chance at a relationship.
I thought the story line was good and kept me interested throughout the book. There were some very steamy sex scenes including a non-sex, sex scene that were fan myself hot! The book had a lot of what I like to read in a book humor, drama, angst, and a happy ending. Noelle was quirky and fun and had me chuckling throughout the book.
There were a few things that were hard to get past. I thought the relationship developed way too quickly. Riley proposed after the second day, granted it was really funny when and how he did it! For me, it was just too fast and not very realistic, even the character in the book acknowledged that it was too fast. I had mixed feeling about Riley. He seemed to be all over the place for me. One minute he is this strong, dominate man the next minute he seems to have no backbone. It just seemed like he was two completely different people and it got hard to look past at times.
Overall, it's a quick read with a happy ending and a few laugh out loud moments.
