Publisher’s Synopsis:
They’ve worked together for years. But one weekend away will change everything…
Dominic Ferrell is the ultimate fixer. If a problem has to disappear, Dominic is the one to call. So when senatorial candidate Byron Robidoux needs help tracking down a woman from his past, Dominic can’t resist taking the job and enlisting the best PI he knows to help. It’s an open-and-shut case…or at least it was supposed to be.
From the moment Dominic walks into her office, six feet of cool, confident, magnetism, Jeanette knows she’s in for some delicious trouble. He may want to approach the woman they’re hired to find on his own, but Jeanette has a hunch about this case—and she’s never ever wrong. They either finish this together…or not at all.
What begins as a simple work trip soon turns into something far more fun—and more complicated. And as the sparks between them ignite, nothing will ever be the same. But will Dominic and Jeanette get burned?
Point of view:
3rd person. Alternating perspectives between Dominic and Jeanette, not always by chapter but clearly defined.
Rellim’s Thoughts:
Careless Whispers – Book 3 of Synithia Williams’ Jackson Falls series is coming out on March 30th and I need to catch up! The Promise of a Kiss is a prequel novella for the series – however I read it after listening to book 1, Forbidden Promises. Which worked out fine as this really is more of a set-up for book 2, Scandalous Secrets.
This novella is a good look at Williams’ writing – which I adore! Though, due to the length it wasn’t as high on the glorious soap-opera-ey drama as the main books. Still, it was an enjoyable read and I loved this friends-to-lovers, can we be more, both been burned romance. I loved that Dominic and Jeanette are both mature and open in their communication. While the book takes place over only a few days – not only do they have a long standing friendship and business relationship, but they go on this epic “first date” that really helped me connect with them as characters and as a couple. There’s a few steamy scenes, lots of laughs, a misstep, and a grand gesture to round out this lovely novella.
I’m also invested in hearing more about Byron and Zoe and I’m looking forward to listening to Scandalous Secrets.
