Finding the Right One by Barbara ElsborgMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Finding the Right One by Barbara Elsborg is Will’s story and the 2nd book of the Mansell Brothers, and despite not having yet read the other brother Ed’s story (which I am going to do next), it was okay to read it as a standalone.
I adore this author’s unique writing style – it’s easy to read with engaging, quirky and heart-warming characters, passionate and erotic sexy scenes, and fabulous and funny dialogue.
Will left London nursing a broken heart about the woman of his dreams decided to choose his brother, Ed, instead of him, escaping to a beautiful island, buying a boat and working as a sailing instructor. His best friend and partner in crime, Stefan is trying his best to help Will forget the unattainable women he’s still in love with…..but without much success.
All poor Will can do is think of Addie!! Right now he’s in that “man-in-the-dumps” stage in his life.
Imo Hughes left London, nursing a black eye, after running away from her wedding reception and escaped to Greece, to enjoy the honeymoon she had paid for, sans the groom!!
The first introduction to this character, when she arrives on the island to begin her honeymoon “package”, was beyond hilarious…….
Yes, her honeymoon trip is being handled by Will’s best friend, Stefan – and he’s one of the guides meeting the tour group…….
Yes, one may think it strange when seeing someone like her arriving on a small Greek island looking like that….but wait….Imo is not one of those “cheapie” tourists. Didn’t Leo (her dumped groom) tell her they were booked on a sailing trip? One of those where you lay on the deck sunning yourself whilst waiters wafted around preening to your every need!!! She will discover that it’s not exactly one of those sailing honeymoon tours very soon.
After a bit of confusion at the airport, she’s transported to a villa where she will be staying in between her sailing tour. She spends her first night having some really weird adventures and the next morning…totally excited to begin her fun in the sun!!! She can’t wait to check out her room view!!!!
And it’s nothing like what she was expecting!!!
Not a sea view but a fabulous view nonetheless. Just below her window, lying naked on a bed, in a sort of outdoor living area at the side of the villa, reclined a dark-haired Greek. Long muscular, legs, a huge erection, washboard abs, oh God, a really huge erection, nicely rounded pecs with dark coppery nipples, a massive erection – and don’t forget the firm hand wrapped around it – tanned all over – oh Christ even his cock was tanned – and dark eyes – wide-open looked up at her.But if you think that this is just a one-off….it’s not!
Double Shit.
Arriving at Taverna Dimitri on the beach to join her sailing tour, she’s horrified at what she’s discovered!! That bastard Leo had booked a sailing honeymoon but not a luxury yacht…no, no…this was one of those “get-your-hands-on” learning sailing trip on a not large boat with no waiters and no sunning beds on deck…
and horrors of horrors…the naked guy in her villa garden was going to be one of the boat’s instructors! Could anything get worse for a girl, whose suitcase contained slinky and shiny and sexy clothes and shoes? A girl who knew nothing about boats, slip knots, rudders????
So begins ----Will can’t believe how clueless Imo is. He’s irritated with her and at the same time can’t get the images of her in a skimpy red bikini out of his mind!!! And Imo….well, he may be a pain in the ass, but Will is certainly sexy and a total turn-on. So what happens when you spend time together in a gorgeous place? Yes, attraction and sexual tension abounds.
They spend time together, keeping a few things from each other, give in to their sexual attraction and a totally unforgettable interaction with each other…oh, this time I am talking about the dialogue between these two…
I adored Imo…she was such a sweet and cute character who struggled with family issues and her self-worth and I so enjoyed seeing her growth and finally discovering that she was more than what others believed. Will and Imo were good together, bringing out the best in each other.
A romantic love story, with a dash of suspense, villains and some unexpected revelations set in a perfect location filled with sunshine, deep blue seas, warmth, great food…..yes, talking about the Greek Islands. How could one not fall in love in that place???
Of course I am not giving away any spoilers!!!! You know there’s going to be a HEA!!! This is after all a love story!!!
And Imo and Will sail off into the sunset towards their happy life together!
I really liked this book and now I’m off to read book #1…Ed and Addie’s story!!
