CONFESSIONS OF THE WORLD'S OLDEST SHOTGUN BRIDE

Rules were meant to be broken; condoms not so much… 

Business executive Katie St. John has given up on love, which she sucks at, to focus on her red-hot career. All she wants from Steve Tyler, an ultra-sexy, surprisingly sweet, and much younger Air Force pilot, is help crossing some items off her secret to-do list of sexual fantasies. Sure, the chemistry between them is hotter than the Cayman sun, but once this vacation’s over, she’ll say good-bye and go back to plotting corporate coups.

But Steve won’t settle for being her temporary boy toy. He’s lusted after Katie, the glamorous older woman who lived next door when he was a kid, since he was old enough to know what lust was. Now that she’s finally moved from his fantasies to his bed, he’s not about to let her go without a fight– especially once he learns she’s returned home with the mother of all souvenirs! 

MY REVIEW:

    How do you handle the world when you never been validated by the ones that should love you the most?  Katie St. John, now known as Kathryn to those she works with, was in George Town, Grand Cayman to have a wild week.  It was her time to be with any or as many boy toys as she could.  You see one year earlier her longtime boyfriend of ten years, dumped her and married a much younger woman.

     Kathryn’s already half tattered ego could only take so much so she wrote out a list of sexual fantasies she would like to have fulfilled by the end of her vacation in the Cayman’s with the best friend Amanda Conrad as her wingman.  Then, at the last minute Amanda’s boyfriend decides he wants to take her home to meet his parents for New Year’s week.  Leaving Kathryn on her own.

     So on her first real night, New Year’s Eve she is at a bar getting ready to leave seeing her prospects were getting lower the closer she got to midnight and the couples hour.  She was finishing the last of her drinks when a group of men came in.  She noticed the talk, muscled, blond male with them all.  Then she turned back to the bar discounting them all when she realized they were all “Fly Boys” with the US Air Force. Being a Consultant doing Defense Contracting in D.C. with the military she knew these high risk guys to well.

     Before she has a chance to turn all the way around the tall blond hones in on her like a heat seeking missile.  He comes over as she turns to face him and he says, “Hi there, gorgeous.”  Making shivers run through her. She teases him about using a better come on line.  Then he says, “I could, but I didn’t think I had to, since we’re such old friends.”  She questions that, then he says, “Don’t you recognize me?”  Teasing expression implied.  “Darlin’,” she says, “if I’d met you before, I guarantee I’d have remembered.”  “You may not remember me, but I remember you.  You’re Katie St. John.”  “Kathryn,” she says surprised. “I haven’t let anyone call me Katie since college.”  Looking at his face.  “Who are you, anyway?”  “I used to be the boy next door.”  The boy next door?  I don’t think so.  That would be Mike Tyler, and even in his wildest dreams, he never looked like you.”  He grins big.  “I’ll tell him you said so.  I’m the other Tyler boy.”

     Her mouth dropped open.  “Little Stevie?” 

     From this point on this story becomes much more erotic-yes, complicated-yes, and emotional-yes all at the same time.  The emotional highs and lows that Kathryn’s character takes you on can sometimes even be frustrating.  This was a case of your upbringing forms the person you will be.  Steve truly loved her and loved her enough for both of them.  But would or could she come around? This is a case of cougar going after the much younger man at the beginning but then in an instant it was the younger man going after the love of his life.

     I give this 4 stars only because it had some lulls in it for me where I would find my mind wandering. Provided by netgallery.com
