Sequel to The Fix-it Girl
After the birth of their daughter, Tegan, Elise Ridge agreed
to a marriage in name only with her beloved wife, Jill. Elise had screwed up.
Their estrangement wasn’t what she wanted. She thought she could handle it,
hoping against hope, that one day they would be able to repair their marriage
and go back to the way things were in the beginning. Three long
years later and it was beginning to look as though their marriage was
over.
When Megan Dutton, Elise’s lover from twenty years ago
suddenly turns up, Elise begins to question whether she should remain in a
loveless relationship. Reluctantly, Elise makes the decision to move on. She
loves Jill with all her heart, but she needs more, she needs a proper loving
relationship.
Jill is still madly in love with Elise. She is questioning her
own decision of the ‘in name only’ relationship. She can feel herself and Elise
drifting further and further apart. Will Jill leave it too late to salvage their
marriage?
Jill has to swallow her pride and reach out to Elise, she
knows this. But doing it is harder than she expected. When Jill finally plucks
up the courage to approach Elise, what will Elise’s reaction be this late in the
game?
Two people, soulmates, have allowed outside influences to
derail their love for one another. The questions are, will they continue
drifting, is their love strong enough to make it a second time round, or will
they call it quits?
This is the much anticipated, long awaited sequel to The
Fix-it Girl. It’s here we learn of the outcome of Jill and Elise’s, ‘in name
only’ pact.
As always, with previous JM Dragon books, I was pulled into
the story right from the very first page and enthralled with the story right
through to the last page. The story flows along at a nice pace. The scenic
descriptions allowed me to lose myself in the story with the characters, to
actually be amongst them as the story unfolds. Living the story, rather than
reading it.
Both Elise and Jill are multidimensional characters, they are
as different as night and day, but they are made for one another. Both women are
so in love, the heat radiates from the page. Pride got in the way of their love
and that pride has to be swallowed. It’s here we find out if it is swallowed and
the choices that are made.
These characters are the same as those from The Fix-it Girl.
Each and every one is essential in the progression of the story. There are emotional highs and lows throughout, written so that the reader
can feel the angst or happiness. There is also a tender sweet romance, spiced up
with some rather hot sex scenes.
Although this book concluded, I feel these characters have a
lot more to say. It would be absolutely brilliant if JM Dragon wrote another
book with Elise and Jill and their family. If any of you have read the Destiny
series by JM Dragon, you will know that these characters are very much on a par
with Catherine and Jace. Two wonderful characters that have stood the test of
time. So, the more books, the merrier for me.
I eagerly look forward to another book from JM Dragon
soon.
I had been hoping for this but didn't realize it was really happening! Thanks for the review, I can't wait to read it!
