Rebound
by Nikki Mathis Thompson
Synopsis:
Katrine MacNamara was defined by two roles--wife and
mother.
When one of those roles is suddenly stripped from her, she
is forced to re-evaluate her place in the world. She needs to get her life back
on track, a life of her own.
What are the next logical steps, as a newly single 35 year
old woman?
1. Put the kibosh on crying sessions in the fetal
position.
2. Start using maiden name.
3. Jump start her non-existent career.
The last item is the tricky one. She is determined to
stand on her own two feet without her ex's money. But since she has spent the
last decade at home raising her son, her moth eaten resume has been collecting
dust.
When Katrine lands a high profile assignment for the
summer. Although short term, the experience would add some much needed prestige
to her anemic resume.
She is eager to rise to challenge. Little does she know
that part of the challenge would be her new boss.
During a night full of laughs and margaritas, her friends
urge her to get back out into the dating scene. A rebound fling is
just what she needs to get her feet wet.
Katrine is leery to say the least and is not sure is she is
ready. She wonders if a man even fits into her new life. Not to mention the
fact that being naked in front of someone new was beyond petrifying.
But when a man from the past enters her life and as she
grows closer to her new boss, she is forced to re-evaluate the whole fling
concept.
Does she go for casual or does she commit? Can she
even do casual? She always listens to her heart, maybe it was time to start
listening to other parts of her anatomy.
As she
navigates her new single life she has to decide what defines her. And with help
from her nutty sister, hilarious friends and plethora of fermented grapes— she
just might find that she is willing to forgo lust and even love, if it means
compromising her new found identity.
Dee’s Review:
Okay,
let me get a few small details out of the way before I tell you about how I
liked this book. It is very detailed, so it may move a little slow at times.
That being said, I love those dang details. In the beginning, right away I
hated her husband. Who wouldn’t? What a major jerkface. I also would have toe
punted him if it was me..
but more power to her for keeping her dignity about her. That being said. I had to laugh at what her friends suggested. It falls in
line with that saying “best way to get over one man is under a new one”. What
PERVERTS! Oh, how I love their train of thought. My kind of girls. This is where the book gets
interesting. The whole boss fantasy, who doesn’t have that?!?! Well Katrine gets
to test it out. And boy does she test it out. FREAKING HOT. Once you start to
see Xander as a person, you can’t help but love him. He’s amazing to her, and
her son. HELLO- HER SON!
But then… there may be a little drama when it comes to the ex-husband. What, again, a jerkface to introduce her to Katrine. Again, TOE PUNT. Then there is the drama with Ian. Lord have mercy..Drama everywhere. But there is also love everywhere. When the time
for their “relationship” to end rolls around... I'm going to stop here so I don't give you a spoiler.. Okay.. ummm... change of direction. Okay, MAJOR DRAMA.. yeah... I think they are uber cute together. In the office. Outside of the office.
So, I know you’re wondering
what happens ? The book ends. Yup, simple as that. I seriously almost threw my
kindle out the window. THE BOOK ENDS! Ugh!
Either way, I give this book 4
hearts. Enjoy it!
