Ames’ review of Because You Haunt Me by Beth Kery.
Knowing just how innocent Francesca is, Ian finds himself struggling with whether or not to pursue her. But he has to have her. Because when it comes to this particular obsession, desire trumps all caution.
Unnerved by her own longings, Francesca avoids Ian until he confronts her with a tantalizing proposition: a purely physical relationship—her reward, alluring, forbidden pleasure. It may be a mistake, but her need for Ian can’t be denied. Suddenly she’s swept away to Paris, overwhelmed by the beauty of the city, by the irresistible man at her side, Francesca abandons all reservations, and finally opens herself up to the man who has haunted her fantasies.
Because You Haunt Me begins with Francesca avoiding Ian in agner after the revelation at the end of the second installment. It’s not major but for Ian it is. Because of something that happened to in his past. He shows up at her apartment and Davie, one of her roommates tells Ian that he’s not good for Francesca. Ian agrees but he can’t get her out of his system.
Francesca is so good at avoiding Ian that he shows up at her waitressing job one evening and clears the bar out, just so he can explain. Francesca listens and when Ian proposes a sexual affair with no strings, she agrees. They jet off to Paris together, where he gives her an evening she’ll never forget. Of course the chapter ends before the good stuff truly begins. That’s right folks, they haven’t even slept together yet. *sigh*
I hate waiting.
So does Ian! LOL Now that they’ve both agreed to a no-strings affair, just until one of them gets tired of the other, Ian is eager to get underway. They’ve had a few sexual encounters, making out, and other stuff, but Ian can’t wait to possess Francesca. She’s just as eager.
Hmm…what to say about these two chapters…I can see how Ian might believe that this is going to be a no-strings affair, but the way he treats Francesca, these two are going to fall hard. And Ian is going to hate it. He’ll deny it but Franesca is something special. I can’t wait for the next chapters to watch the process begin!
