The
Sweetest Taboo
By Carole Matthews
Sadie
Nelson never expected to fall in love while working at the London
book fair. Gil Nelson is a Hollywood producer who notices Sadie
while she is working and takes an instant shine to her. They spend
one night together and realize that they could have something special.
Gil flies Sadie out to live in Hollywood and from there, things
go wrong. Sadie and Gil seem to keep miscommunicating and finding
things that stand in their way. Then Sadie meets Tavis Jones, a
young, hot wannabe actor. Sadie feels a connection with Tavis but
she's not sure how he feels and there is also Gil to consider. Sadie
must decide between these two men who have come to mean more to
her than she ever imagined.
The
Sweetest Taboo has many great characters with the exception
of Gil. I never warmed up to him and didn't understand why Sadie
gave him chance after chance. In my eyes, Matthews didn't build
the relationship up enough for me to understand Sadie's motivations.
However, Tavis is as close to perfect as you can get. It was his
character that made me laugh and feel sorrow. The story moves along
at a fast pace and I finished the book quickly. I would read another
book by Matthews as long as Gil isn't a recurring character.
