When I first picked up A Sure
Thing by Marie Harte I’ll admit I judged a book by its cover. I saw a slash of pink and thought, ‘well,
this will be a nice, pleasant read’.
Wow, I was wrong. There was
nothing nice about this book. It was hard, fast, and hot.
There’s a smart, female psychologist trying to find ‘The One’. A handsome ex-marine try to help his
sister. And a crazy ex-FWB trying to
meddle where she doesn’t belong.
A Sure Thing’s plot revolves entirely around the relationship
between Landon and Ava. There’s no
mystery, no criminal aspect, and only the slightest secondary plot regarding
family. Sometimes you’re just in the
mood for a sexy read though, so that’s not really a point against the book.
The characters are developed. Ava and Landon have stories and
backgrounds that I want to know more about.
Even the secondary characters are fascinating and I am reasonably sure we
will be seeing their stories in the near future. There were a few brief moments
where I found myself thinking things were getting a little overdramatic in
terms of character interactions, but all in all, I enjoyed the way the
characters connected with one another. I love head strong women and domineering
men, and Ms. Harte switches their personalities up just enough that you don’t
feel like you’re reading a cookie cutter version of a romance novel.
A Sure Thing is… a sure thing, as silly as that sounds. You won’t be disappointed with the sexy way
Landon Donnigan handles smart, haughty Ms. Rosenthal. It’s a naughty read that will have you
turning the pages desperate for more.
