I was somewhat indifferent to the other book in this series, Tiny House, Big Love, but my local library had this one so I gave it a go and to my surprise, I enjoyed it a lot more. After a breakup, Callie asks her irritating coworker to pretend to be her boyfriend so she can still appear on HATV’s Island Match and get an expenses-paid Caribbean holiday. I liked the details about their jobs -- they’re librarians. I particularly liked how they talk about Callie’s anxiety, and how Thomas is so accepting and supportive. ( ) Callie Adesso has been selected as a guest on an episode of HATV's show, Island Match. Unfortunately Callie is supposed to appear with her boyfriend who has just dumped her. Callie is desperate for the vacation that the show will provide, so she volunteers her nemesis at the library where she works, Thomas McKinney. Thomas has made her life at the library difficult for the 6 months that she has been working there, so she is surprised when he not only accepts her offer, but he seems to relish the idea. Little does Callie know that Thomas has been harboring a secret from her for the last 6 months. Desire and the Deep Blue Sea suffers from the same issue that plagues most novellas; they are just too short. In this novel, the fact that Callie has hated Thomas with a passion for months and now is willing to spend her vacation with him, comes across as pretty improbable. However, the plot does include issues of neurodiversity, but I'm not sure how well the representation is presented. Callie and Thomas are likable characters, but their lack of communication is disturbing. Overall, Desire and the Deep Blue Sea is a cute story that doesn't take enough time to tackle the serious issues addressed in the time offered in a novella. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Love Unscripted (1)
They're pretending. Until they aren't. Thomas McKinney has never wanted a woman the way he wants Callie Adesso. Since she started working alongside him at the Colonial Marysburg Research Library, he's spent his desk shifts fumbling pencils, tripping over his own feet, and struggling to remember both the Dewey Decimal System and the existence of her inconvenient boyfriend. Now, however, Callie is suddenly single-and in need of a last-minute faux-boyfriend for an episode of HATV's Island Match. Thomas is more than happy to play the part...and in the process, convince Callie that a week together isn't nearly long enough. Callie has never found a man as irritating as she finds Thomas. He may be brilliant, kind, and frustratingly handsome, but the absent-minded librarian also makes every workday an anxiety-inducing exercise in stress. Even seven days in paradise by his side won't change her opinion of him. Really. No matter how attentive he is. And gentle. And sexy. One plane ride later, the two of them are spending long, hot days under the sun and on display, pretending to be in love for a television show. This may be a vacation, but it's also an act-as well as Thomas's last chance to persuade the woman of his dreams to include him in hers. And soon, the island heat isn't the only thing steaming up HATV's cameras... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
