4 \u201cSatisfaction is coming\u201d stars!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strong Suit<\/i>\u00a0brings 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.<\/p>\n

Ginny is working hard to provide for her daughter. She doesn\u2019t want a guy who is immature and will leave her high and dry. She\u2019s been there before and she won\u2019t go there again. Thankfully, Noah isn\u2019t the kind of man to toy with her. He is charming, sweet, cute, and funny. Best of all, he\u2019s a family man which is exactly the type of man she\u2019s looking for.<\/p>\n

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\u2019d 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/i><\/a>, and even though that book features a different couple, we get to see more of Noah and Ginny and their sweet romance.<\/p>\n

Overall,\u00a0Strong Suit<\/i>\u00a0is a sweet little treat that satisfied my needs and put a smile on my face.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeday I\u2019d like to take you out.\u201d
\nHer eyes meet mine, and hers seem to sparkle with a little bit of hope, maybe even possibility. \u201cYou would?\u201d
\nI keep going for it. \u201cI would. What would you say if I asked you?\u201d
\nShe nibbles on her lip, sighing. \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d
\nThat\u2019s when I remind myself that love is a marathon, it\u2019s not a sprint. I press my hand over hers. \u201cDon\u2019t give me an answer now, then.\u201d
\n\u201cWhy do you say that?\u201d she asks curiously.
\n\u201cBecause \u2018I don\u2019t know\u2019 isn\u2019t the answer I want.\u201d
\nA smile seems to sneak across her face. \u201cWhat is the answer you want?\u201d
\n\u201cThe\u00a0only\u00a0answer I want is yes.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Though both\u00a0Strong Suit\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Birthday Suit<\/em> are standalones, the first takes place before the latter.<\/strong><\/p>\n
