My Review
" He smelled like sex and cologne and Sabrina hated how badly those two things made her want him."
So…I think it's safe to say I totally wasn't expecting that one. I went into this blind, yes when I signed up I read the synopsis and it was intriguing…however when going to read, I totally forgot what the synopsis was about and I didn't go back to read it again. Going in blind was a good idea on my part. Now don't read into that wrong please. I throughly enjoyed the story, there were some parts where I just had to stop and go "Really!?" I continued on and I'm happy with the outcome.
" He pulled each moan and sigh from her like a conductor giving her cues."
Sabrina Walker is a 28 year old woman who hasn't completely moved on from her past. Her past being her Manager Beau. For 10 years she's basically been there to satisfy his needs. This is where I had issues. If a man hasn't begun to give you any type of commitment or relationship after 10 years why are you still with him and then getting pissed when he's not giving you what you want? Even though it was hard to stomach this part, only because I was stupid enough to give 2 years of my life to a douche dumbass who was using me in the same manner. The only thing I got out of that relationship was my 6 year old son. Luckily though I woke up and saw that there are greater guys out there… one being my now husband.
" No wonder he was so sweet and accommodating. His mother was like a damn fairy flitting around bringing goodness to the world in the form of wine and hot sons."
Sabrina had just gotten a job offer from Beau when she was doing the walk of shame from his house and heading into work wearing the same thing she did the day before. She works at Confessions Records which her Uncle runs. However something unexpected happens and she ends up being President of the company while her Uncle is away for medical reasons. With a new position comes new duties and she can't handle it all herself so she needs to hire an assistant. Having over 60 applications to go over she finally decides 4 of them would be the best for the job and interviews. The first 3 were a waste and at this point she's pretty much giving up and doesn't even want to do the fourth and final interview. That is until Wade Lawson walks into her office. There is an instant connection.
" Walking into that interview, I didn't know you were gonna rock my world the way you have. And that first time we kissed, I didn't know that everything that would follow would change me forever. This has never been about just having fun for me. You're more than that and you always have been."
Wade gives Sabrina a boost of confidence and in the process puts a light back in her. She is completely taken aback, and is having a hard time putting her feelings aside. She's conflicted. On one hand there is Beau…on the other is Wade. So of course I'm sitting there screaming at my kindle, "WADE! HELLLOOOOO you know who to pick!!!" Lol. It's not my decision to make though sadly…it's hers. Sabrina is beyond frustrating at times. You want to smack some sense into her.
" Good men exist and if you're lucky enough to find one you have to put your preconceived notions out the window for it to work."
So does she wake up and pick the amazing man that even though he's 22 wakes her up like no other, or does she stick with the same man she has been hoping something would happen with?? That's something you'll have to find out when you #1click.
I enjoyed Wade tremendously. He's a new book boyfriend. I loved how the story was told in both Sabrina and Wade's POV. =)
I recommend you pick up Natural Harmony and enjoy a quick easy read.
I rate Natural Harmony 4 stars.
" I know I'm young. I know we haven't known each other that long. I know anything can happen and plenty can change. I'm not asking you to marry me but I'm telling you again that I'm yours. That means you have me. You own me. You rule me. You're the one. And if I keep my eyes on you and let everything else fade to black, that'll never change."
" It was the fucking sun and the moon and the stars and I knew I could never give you that and even if you let me try I wouldn't trust myself not to smother it again."
Excerpt
His ears perked at the sound of clicking high heels coming down the hall and it wasn’t too long before she was in view. Wade wanted to breathe normally, he really did, but it was impossible looking at her. Her strut was enough to give him a stroke. She had a perfect hourglass shape and she wore the right clothes for it. Her curves were like the deliberate paint strokes of an artist. Beautiful. Her gentle brunette waves of hair gleamed auburn under lights and seemed to bounce with her steps just as her ample chest did. When she saw him at the desk a smile overtook her heart-shaped face. Her lips could’ve been drawn by Disney they were so damn perfect. And the sweetest smattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks was enough to do him in. She’s your boss, he told himself. He’d been telling himself that since the minute he walked into the interview on Friday. He spent the weekend psyching himself up for seeing her again. She’s just pretty, he’d said to the bathroom mirror, you’ve known plenty of pretty women. But she wasn’t just pretty. She wasn’t just anything. She was stunning. And not to mention … she was Sabra. “Good morning!” Sabrina said cheerily as she came up to the front of his desk. She had two paper cups in her hands and she sat one in front of him. “I didn’t know your drink order so I just got you what I like—Americano.” He opened his mouth but no words came out. He touched the warm cup and smiled. “Shouldn’t I be the one getting you coffee?” he asked. “Eh, someday.” She smiled before popping into her office. Someday, he thought.
