Oh my goodness! I know that I have read books by this author before, but none came up on this blog. So I headed over to my Goodreads book list, and sure enough, I have multiple reviews for prior books, as far back as 2013! The last I read was in 2015. I certainly have missed some good ones!
With that said, I am making it a point of catching up! I just loved this book! Featuring a mature couple, it gives us hope that there can be a second chance at love. Releasing in November, definitely check out my thoughts below, and grab your copy.
Flirting with the Beast by Jane Porter
Publisher: Berkley (November 29, 2022)
ISBN-13: 978-0593438404
OVERVIEW:
It’s been five years since Andi McDermott lost her husband, and she’s finally starting to feel like herself again, ready to live fully—she’s even started dating again. But when her holiday plans with her stepson and his fiancée fall through, she refuses to spend another Christmas alone while everyone is celebrating with their families. Impulsively, she decides to go up to her cabin in Lake Arrowhead, a place she used to love to visit but hadn’t gone to in years, not since the feud started between her husband and their nearest neighbor.
Andi starts to rethink her decision when being alone at the cabin proves to be more challenging than she expected—a heavy snowstorm hits the area, and Andi finds herself trapped there with no one to help except for her neighbor, Wolf Enders. A military vet who lives full-time on Lake Arrowhead, Wolf is as grumpy and intimidating as Andi remembers. But he’s also unexpectedly kind and uncomfortably sexy—his presence reminds Andi that she may be older, but her body still works perfectly fine, thank you very much. But can this good girl tame this sexy beast of a man, and will this snowy fling turn into a love of a lifetime?
Flirting with the Beast by Jane Porter Review
I have so much love for this story. For one it hits right into the perfect age group for me. Just because the clock is ticking doesn’t mean love is impossible for the second time around or even more.
Porter pours so much emotion and depth into this one. Family issues, learning how to move forward after major life changes. Learning to trust and crack open closed hearts. And definitely realizing that family means more than just blood.
She takes the time to craft a perfect balance in her characters. Gruff and tough, smoking hot Wolf and sweet, but strong and resilient Andi are just right for each other. Delicately balancing those new feelings and emotions is a different matter. Porter showers us with sexy steam, intensity, humor, and passion in this awesome read.
Emotional and intense in many ways. I love the mature couple focus in Flirting with the Beast. So many feelings ring so true in this one!
