Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling author J.C. Reed comes a new sexy standalone novel Kellan Boyd always gets what he wants—except that one infuriating city girl who bumped into his new chick magnet sports car, dared to call him a jerk, and basically threw his pity check in his face. Fast forward three months later. When Ava Cross suddenly knocks on his door in the middle of a storm, soaking wet and in dire need of help, he’s determined to settle old scores and finally get her between the sheets where she belongs. Ava knows Kellan is a complex man with a dark past and a wild reputation he can’t deny. Forced to stay, Ava begins a desperate search for the truth about the one man she wants to despise and quickly discovers that the passion she feels for him isn’t just deep…it’s dangerous to her heart. Kellan is a beautiful distraction. When the traps of her own weakness stand in the way, Ava is faced with one choice only: peel off the layers of a man who is a wild cowboy at heart. Author’s note – Beautiful Distraction is a full-length standalone novel with no cliffhanger. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
Four Boundless Stars
Beautiful Distraction, is a really great telling of a pure romance, instant connection. I really feel instant connections are possible. This isn't the same ol' instant connection though.
Ava is strong willed, has an exhausting career. She rarely does anything for herself. One fateful day she meets a man. Because said man runs into her old car with his Lamborghini. From that point on, she couldn't stop thinking of said man.
The story is really hilarious, mixed with love and of course those steamy scenes. When you think you know what's going to happen, then JC is like haha no you don't. I like the unexpected from stories. Because if not, it's the same old story.
"... I believe that we know when the right person comes along, that love doesn't need to be sought and found. It'll find you when it finds you."
Overall, I give this story four boundless stars. I'm glad that Sara didn't steal this book for herself.
