Temporary
Temporary | Sarina Bowen, Sarah Mayberry
6 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
The most beautiful man I've ever seen is the one who can ruin everything...The first time I lay eyes on Callan Walker, I know he'll be trouble. With his smug grin, hot Aussie accent and thousand dollar shoes, he's just the kind of rich guy who always gets what he wants. And he wants two things: a night of sin, and my cooperation as he outmaneuvers his powerful mother to take control of his uncle's estate.I can't afford either one. I'm the only thing standing between my little sister and the foster care system. He may have money and charm on his side, but I have something even more powerful -- pure desperation. This temp job at his mother's company can become a full time job for me. It has to. But when Callan's eyes rake over my body, sometimes I forget my obligations. His piercing gaze finds the fun, optimistic girl I used to be and not the tired person I've become.And it works--if only for a moment. Our night together was a mistake. I can't afford to get sucked into his high-powered family's treachery. But the closer I get to Callan, the more layers I find beneath those expensive clothes. Though I can't forget this is temporary. He's temporary. I have too much to lose. Too bad my foolish heart didn't get the memo...

A three star pick. It was good but it wasn't great. The writing was solid and easy but it just felt like it was missing something that would make it special. As it is, it was kind of forgettable. That said, I would pick up another collaboration from these authors but I probably won't be preordering it again.

MarriedtoMrT @Chachic Definitely wait until it goes on sale! I don't think it would be worth it for you to pay full price. 7y
Jas16 I gave it three stars too 7y
Chachic @MarriedtoMrT Thanks for letting me know! @espressodream said the same thing about this title 7y
Nreyes7901 I liked Him and Us but was a bit iffy about a couple of her other books. 7y

For day one of the #melandprireadathon I chose to go with #contemporary. A collaboration between two #romantsy writers I like, it honestly won't make my list of favorites from either author but I still had a good time escaping reality within its pages today.

MarriedtoMrT I felt the same! Easy, fun reading but it didn't sparkle. 7y

Sarina Bowen is my favourite romance author and this latest doesn't disappoint. I loved the Australian hero and his strangely familiar family. I'm going to have to buy some Iced Vovos, it's been years since I had one.

Should have photographed this w/TimTams or Iced VoVo but this was all I had at the time.

Received an ARC from publisher. Full review on blog: https://dreamingofespresso.wordpress.com/2017/09/26/book-review-temporary-by-sar...

I do love Sarina Bowen's work; but am not familiar w/ Sarah Mayberry's, this is my first exposure to her.

Chachic Hmm your feedback makes me less excited to read this book. If you want to try Sarah Mayberry, I enjoyed Her Best Worst Mistake. 7y
espressodream @Chachic I will def check it out thanks for the rec! I feel my opinion might be in the minority though 😅 7y
Chachic @espressodream Maybe I'll wait to see more reviews! I'm still in the middle of a trilogy anyway. 7y

espressodream @Chachic yeah! Definitely, wait for more reviews from others. Coz from what I'm seeing on GR I'm definitely in the minorities 😂 7y
MarriedtoMrT I second @Chachic on Her Best Worst Mistake and her newer title Tanner was really good as well! Better than Temporary, imo. 7y
Chachic @MarriedtoMrT Oh good to hear about Tanner! I have that in my Kindle because it was a freebie 7y
espressodream @MarriedtoMrT Good to know! Will def have to check those out!!!! 👍 Thanks for the recs 😊 7y

Forgot today was release day! What a lovely surprise email. #Romantsy Littens, it's Sarina Bowen AND Sarah Mayberry! (And thanks to @Chachic for the GR heads up that the book even existed.)

Chachic Oh yes, it's been released! Just not sure when I'll be able to read it so I haven't bought a copy. 7y
MarriedtoMrT @Chachic I basically just preordered so I wouldn't forget it existed because I'm not in the mood for it right now. I guess I could have just wishlisted it. 😏 I read the first few pages, though, and I think it's going to be great! 7y
Chachic Let me know how it goes! 7y
