Review

4 “Satisfaction is coming” stars! 

Strong Suit brings us an developing romance between a single mom and a charming, sexy guy ten-years her junior. They appear to have nothing in common but as they from a friendship we see a spark flicker to life.

Ginny is working hard to provide for her daughter. She doesn’t want a guy who is immature and will leave her high and dry. She’s been there before and she won’t go there again. Thankfully, Noah isn’t the kind of man to toy with her. He is charming, sweet, cute, and funny. Best of all, he’s a family man which is exactly the type of man she’s looking for.

I loved watching Noah and Ginny interact. The banter is entertaining and their flirty interactions have you a glimpse of how good they could be together. The sexual tension is palpable and though Noah makes it clear he’d jump at the opportunity to be with Ginny, she is more reserved. Noah has a way of pulling her in and once the fun starts, there is no stopping it.

This story story shows us the start of something between Noah and Ginny, and they give us just enough to turn us on and leave us wanting more. It leads wonderfully into Birthday Suit, and even though that book features a different couple, we get to see more of Noah and Ginny and their sweet romance.

Overall, Strong Suit is a sweet little treat that satisfied my needs and put a smile on my face.

“Someday I’d like to take you out.”
Her eyes meet mine, and hers seem to sparkle with a little bit of hope, maybe even possibility. “You would?”
I keep going for it. “I would. What would you say if I asked you?”
She nibbles on her lip, sighing. “I don’t know.”
That’s when I remind myself that love is a marathon, it’s not a sprint. I press my hand over hers. “Don’t give me an answer now, then.”
“Why do you say that?” she asks curiously.
“Because ‘I don’t know’ isn’t the answer I want.”
A smile seems to sneak across her face. “What is the answer you want?”
“The only answer I want is yes.”

 


Though both Strong Suit and Birthday Suit are standalones, the first takes place before the latter.
