If You Were Mine

Product Information

The part of the contract where we both acknowledge that there will be absolutely no sexual contact whatsoever. In 2014 and early 2015, she wrote and published the Frenched series as well as The Tango Lesson, a standalone novella.

because it sets in motion for both of them life lessons; experiences and realizations about their lives, themselves and what they want. IF YOU WERE MINE is a story about redemption, acceptance and finding courage that you never knew you had. Never in my life have I cried from a book - ranted, laughed, giggled, "gfawed", fanned my red cheeks, and even perhaps yelled occasionally, but never have I cried. Woefully single, she feels lonely and does not want to get caught at the 'singles table' once again.They are attracted to one another and sizzle as the chemistry burned up the rules they'd set, and not just in the contract. He is tortured and he truly believes he’s not good enough for Claire and that he can’t offer her what she needs. On their date both Claire and Theo are feeling a strong attraction for each other and while Claire is willing to take a chance and see what could develop between them, Theo is hesitant and fearful of what the future could bring. Jaime is a pretty prominent character since she's Claire's best friend, and she was able to help Claire work through her pain since she'd behaved the same way, but it was literally the exact same reason and break up act in both books. She obviously doesn’t have a boyfriend who looks like Ryan Gosling (that is who she described) and thus has no date to the wedding.

I hadn’t meant to tell her the truth, hadn’t meant to kiss her, hadn’t meant to take her home and fuck her with my tongue next to the Christmas tree. A definite must read IMHO - but I'd recommend reading Man Candy and After We Fall before picking up If You Were Mine. When Claire has a work colleague’s upcoming wedding to attend, she makes up a little white lie about her “boyfriend” who will be attending the wedding so that she can avoid the disastrous singles table. Theo had hurt her badly so I expected some grovelling and a little bit more resistance from our girl. The characters are well written, their back stories are interesting and the overriding story is of a couple learning to trust their feelings and give in to them.

It’s sweet, it’s funny, it’s sexy, with just a little angst and drama and a bunch of characters I fell in love with from the start.
