Review: Just What He Wanted by HelenKay Dimon

Posted June 12, 2013 by Tracy in Reviews | 0 Comments

Travis Yardley thought he had everything he needed, but one look at Andrea Patterson shows him he was wrong. Andie is a gorgeous, curvy blonde who moves to town to manage a nearby campground. Seizing the chance to get close to her, Travis volunteers himself as tour guide and “bodyguard.’

After a bad breakup, Andie is looking to start over and determined to put her heart on hiatus. She’s working on her self-esteem, and she is not ready for the likes of Travis. He comes on strong, with all the energy of a guy almost ten years her junior, which is exactly what he is.

Even as Travis’s troubled past catches up with him, he pulls out all the stops to convince Andie he deserves a chance. And with the spring thaw hitting the Mountain View Resort, Andie discovers her own temperature rising whenever Travis looks her way…

Travis heads out to the Mountain View resort where the new manager is and he expects to meet a man, Andy. What he finds is Andie, a voluptuous woman that turns his brain to mush and gets his blood flowing. Immediately he can tell that there’s an attraction between the two of them but after she pulls a gun on him and then asks him his age (as she’s almost 10 years older than he) so he knows that he’s got his work cut out for him. 

Andie is thinking that Travis is more than drool worthy but he’s so young! She’s also got serious issues surrounding her weight as her ex-boyfriend constantly bagged on her, even after she lost weight, so she can’t believe that any man would think she’s worth the effort. She just hadn’t met Travis yet. 

This was another great little novella in the Holloway series. Travis is totally drool worthy and young, but he’s a wonderful guy who has his head on his shoulders. He had a hard life before he was 15 but he had gotten his life in order with help from friends and the people who then became his family. He would be an excellent catch but Andie just has those issues that she thinks she can’t get past. Together they work them out and it was great to read about. 

Andie is beautiful inside and out despite what she thinks of herself. Her self-esteem was frustrating but she was wonderful anyway. I liked her pluck and thought she was a great match for Travis.

So will there be more stories in the Holloway series? IDK, but if there are I will definitely be reading them.
