Another story with such an OTT plot that can only be believed in the stories published by Mills and Boon…..but of course it works and one of the reasons for it is that it is written by the most incredible writer, Kate Walker, whose books I devour. The Devil and Miss Jones begins with a really funny scene…picture this….a bride, fully dressed for the ceremony, discovers her groom in bed with the bridesmaid..doing and saying really BAD things…and this just an hour before everything is suppose to happen..and she does what any normal, rational woman would do…..runs away…finds herself on a lonely road, rain ruining her dress, shoes, veil and with no one coming to her rescue…when suddenly this gorgeous man …on a motorcycle stops to help her (he thought he was seeing the ghost..but nah!!!). So after much heart searching…on Miss Jone’s part, she gets on his bike and off they ride in the pouring rain to any destination that comes their way!! Now what an opening to the story…but wait…there is so much more….. yes they both experienced such a sizzling attraction…the chemistry is so hot it almost explodes so it is fair to say they find the nearest hotel and wow…they spend the most amazing time making hot hot love…and let me tell you…despite his anger at discovering she’s a virgin…after all, how was that possible he correctly asked himself, when she had been so hot for him and so responsive and how could she know so much about getting him turned on and wanting him to be inside her!!!! I agree with him…oh by the way…he tells her his name is Carlos Diablo (get the devil thing!!!) and she is Miss Jones….some really funny scenes during their lovemaking where they call each other Diablo and Miss Jones….I laughed quite a bit there.
So after a few hours of passion, he gets up and leaves her alone…she then decides that he only wants a one night stand…pleezzzz what else was it all about I asked!!!!!
Now cut to…4 months later…..Miss Jones has gone looking for Diablo in Argentina….she sneaked in his bag during the hours of passion and discovered his real name and where he lived…right…that happens often…sorry…it does…this is true fiction…if forget sometimes….so during the passionate moments, the condom broke…oh no…does this happen often??? Yes in these stories it does!!!! And discovers she is pregnant with his child…surprise surprise!!!! She has to let him know..it’s the most honorable thing to do after all.
Next she is now Diablo’s grandfather’s caregiver…yes all true. The grandfather who had been really mean to Diablo..oh yes his real name is Carlos Ortega….and hers is actually Martha Jones …so she told the truth about her name but not him!!! Okay.
Anyway, Carlos is summoned by his grandfather and what a shock….the girl for the one night stand is suddenly there, in his home!!!! Shocked. Is she after his grandfather’s money????? He does not trust her. Did he ever think about her during those four months…oh yes…he tells her at the end he did!!!!! It’s fiction guys…it happens here…..so after all the misunderstandings, both realize how much they love each other and go off into the sunset to have their very own HEA.
I know it sounds ridiculous ….but you know it was quite a fun and good read. Two people meeting under the most unbelievable circumstances…both running way from something in their lives, who meet their true soul mate.
And really that is why I read these books…because despite what seems so improbable becomes so real and for that moment you are actually engaging with the characters and want them to find each other whatever the costs or obstacles.
Kate Walker is one of my favorite authors and I can honestly say that I have never disliked any of her books
Here’s the Synopsis:
Caught in his inferno… Martha Jones has never taken a risk in her whole life. Until the day she runs out on her wedding and succumbs to the magnetism of a man she has only just met! A man she knows only as Diablo… Lone wolf Carlos Ortega won’t promise Miss Jones more than one searing-hot night. Yet Carlos is shocked by Martha’s sweet innocence. This runaway bride is a virgin, and it seems the repercussions of their sizzling encounter could last forever…
