I got this book by accident when I was looking for a particular book in Amazon. The blurb piqued my interest and one-clicked it and thank God I did because I.JUST.LOVED.IT. Though I've read mixed reviews about this one - both good & nasty, I still took the chance. I was surprised actually that after few pages, I was hooked. Honestly, I was skeptical about this, at first, because of the 11 years age gap between the hero and heroine but the way the author developed Claire and Jonathan's characters was amazing enough that I didn't put too much attention on that. I didn't find it offensive at all, rather, amusing and captivating. This ain't the first book that I've read with the same plot but surprisingly, I enjoyed every moment of it.
Claire is a 40 year-old divorcee with twin daughters, who after 4 years of being divorced, still haven't moved on from the break-up that she remained closed-off and distant to men. I know that it was really hard for her, knowing that what caused their divorce was her husband cheating with her bestfriend. So when Jonathan barged into her life - gorgeous, cocky, smart, insanely rich then later on found out that he's her boss, the owner of Statham Industries where she works and 11 years younger than her, she knew she had to avoid him at all costs. But Jonathan is the type of guy who doesn't take no for an answer and his attraction to Claire is so intense that he has to do everything he could to have her in his life. So the chase started...
I really, really enjoyed this one. Though I hated Claire's insecurities most of the time, I still loved her character. She just felt real to me that I instantly felt connected with her throughout the story. She was infuriating sometimes because she kept pushing Jonathan away but I completely understood why. Her interactions with her twin daughters - Ashley and Caroline, are some of my favorite highlights of the story. These two always cracked me up.
Then of course, who could resist the charm of Jonathan? He might be cocky and arrogant but I still found him endearing and lovable. He was way over-protective of Claire and his stalking tendencies knows no bounds, but if he'd be the one to do it to me, I won't mind either. He is just so hawt. I fell in love with him...so hard.
This is a sexy, funny and romantic book. A pure escapism. Lovable characters, brilliant plot, witty banters, well-paced and really enjoyable. While some didn't like this but I did. Quite predictable at first but the last few chapters were a real k!ck-@$s. Glad that there's a second book because I don't want to let go of Claire and Jonathan yet. I'll be jumping off to the next book after this.
