Review
Most authors can not happily mix humor and heartfel drama in
their stories, something is always missing and it leaves the reader wanting
more. I’m happy to report that Jacquelyn
Ayres is is NOT one of them. What she’s created with Under Contract is a very
happy marriage between a laugh out loud funny story and a background history
that is guaranteed to make you teary eyed.
When the story started and I read the first page I thought,
here we go again, same old same old. But I was wrong again. And then I laugh…
“Good luck? You don’t
think I’ll be able to make you come?” he arches his brows. “Probably not, but
since you’re paying me so well, I’ll make sure to fake in a believable manner.” Charlotte to Mitch
Charlotte and Mitch meet under somewhat ‘forced’
circumstances. She’s trying to get out of the hole where her husband left her
and her kids, after abandoning them six months ago, trying to save their house,
trying to survive. Mitch is wealthy, tired of one night stands and looking for
something somewhat permanent without the ties. He wants someone to come home
to, so he offers Charlotte a deal she can’t refuse, a deal that will have him
re-evaluating the person he was, the person he is and the man he wants to be.
Things happen fast for these two, Speedy Gonzalez fast, but
from the beginning you realize that these two are meant to be. Their chemistry
is incredibly sensual and sweet all in one. The way their relationship moves is
full of understanding, respect and care for each other. The reader will love their banter and Charlotte
and Mitch complemented each other every step of throughout their relationship. The
secondary characters will have you wishing they were part of your family. I
loved her dad “Happy” he was one of the sweetest characters I’ve ever read, as
well as one of the wisest. And let’s talk about Charlotte’s sister, Cici, the woman is
insane and so hilarious, I want a sister like her on my next life! Here's one of my favorite quotes from the book....
“Never judge someone
by how they look – skin tone, ethnic background, etcetera. You judge them by
their heart and their intentions. If they have a good heart, chances are their
intentions will match.”
Overall, a
great cast of characters to compliment a well written, well put together
story.
Jacquelyn has a fan for life after reading this book. I would
definitely recommend it to everyone out there, three of my friends
already fell victims of my love for it.
Five incredibly sexy and funny stars to this fantastic book!
Meet the Author
I am a domestic engineer (born and raised in NJ) whose sole responsibility is to guide three young, impressionable kids into becoming phenomenal adults. This challenging yet rewarding work requires a lot of love (coffee), patience (wine), and determination (periodic exorcisms). I work this magic from the beautiful state of New Hampshire.
Before becoming a domestic goddess (not really), I spent over a decade in the medical field, where I wore more hats than the Queen.
I have loved the written word and the great escape it provides since I was a little girl. When I wasn't reading about people and the places they lived, I was creating my own characters and adventures.
Finding myself again through my writing in The Lost & Found Series, The One, and The GEG Series has been nothing short of a dream come true. Also, it makes people feel better when I laugh randomly or talk to myself, knowing it's my characters and not "the voices" . . . that would be creepy.
