Asking
For Trouble
By Elizabeth
Young
The
truth shall set you free . . .
Thirty-year-old
Sophy Metcalfe found herself in a dilemma: her younger sister Belinda
was about to get married. To appease her mother, who was forever
trying to pressure her into a relationship, she has fabricated a
nonexistence boyfriend, "Dominic." She had described Dominic
as the perfect mate; her lies of his great successes quickly spread
like wild fire. She knew a special event such as a wedding would
require an appearance from the elusive Dominic. Out of desperation,
she sought out an escort service. She hired an escort to pose as
Dominic and to accompany her to the wedding. Having never seen whom
the agency paired her with, she is surprised when Josh Carmicheal
arrives at her door. His rugged good looks and honest personality
quickly have her head and heart spinning out of control. What type
of impact is this man about to have on her future?
Elizabeth
Young has written an exquisite work of art. The laugh-out-loud humor
she incorporates in this book makes for a delightful reading experience.
Read by Jasmine Hyde, who offers her own up-beat personality and
British accent, the characters seem to magically take shape and
come alive in your head. I think what I like best about this book
is the similarities Sophy and I share. Being 30 and single, I can
fully relate to the many pressures and demands people put upon you
to find that special someone. Coming from a single person's point-of-view,
Elizabeth Young has captured the emotions of what it is like to
be single perfectly. I look forward to discovering more of this
author's fresh approach to the wild and wacky world of romance.
Very highly recommended.
