| One night with a stranger…

But when he meets a woman who refuses to tell him her real name, the game is on, because she’s everything he swore to stay away from. Daisy O’Rourke has bad idea written all over her, but he’s in too deep to walk away now… | ||||||

| My Musings: | ||||||
| In this book, we have two people meet in a bar and find they have an incredible connection. Neither looking for anything serious, they don't exchange real names and they agree to just one night.
Until they discover that they have mutual friends who have been trying to set them up. And that their connection is possibly a bit too strong for either to sever it. I liked how this started with a connection, then they would bite at each other, then give in.... and over and over, up and down. It was a fun rollercoaster and felt true to life. That said, I found Daisy's reasons for being anti-military man was a bit weak. I didn't necessarily get the sense that the military had much to do with Daisy's daddy issues, and it seemed to take just her seeing Mark as a caring father once for her to cave almost completely. Her fear of abandonment seemed to be a much bigger issue. The thing that held Mark back from a relationship with Daisy (before they met...) did make a lot of sense though, and I wasn't keen on how Daisy always wanted to turn his problem with her having a dangerous job into some sort of feminist/sexist thing. The man had married a woman who was active military, so that in itself shows how much respect he has for women willing to put themselves in dangerous situations to protect others... The dialogue and situations felt very genuine and I really liked that. Often in romance, arguments and problems between the couple can feel a little more idealized, but that wasn't the case here. Daisy and Mark had some issues that did feel very genuine. I would recommend this one for anyone who is a fan of contemporary romance with two strong leads! | ||||||
