Perfect Strangers

"These kisses of his...they're demanding and possessive. They're hungry and deep. They're the kisses of a man who wants more of a woman-who wants everything-and isn't going to stop until he gets it."

Author Olivia Rossi hasn't been able to write a word since tragedy struck two years ago and ripped her world apart. Heartbroken and still haunted by the past, she accepts an offer to spend the summer at a friend's apartment in Paris in search of healing and her lost muse.

What she finds instead is James, an enigmatic stranger who ignites in her an unexpected and all-consuming passion.

Agreeing to tell each other nothing more than their first names, Olivia and James embark on a torrid affair. But the more time they spend together, the more Olivia begins to realize her summer fling is turning into a powerful connection...and that the magnetic man she's falling in love with might not be what he seems at all.

"Perfect Strangers" by J.T. Geissinger is a book that I both loved and found frustrating. There were moments that left me puzzled. The narrative is a story within a story within a story, and the ending left me confused about what was real, if anything. However, I really loved the characters, Olivia and James. The writing was well done and emotional at times, with plenty of steamy scenes. There were also some distressing moments that brought me close to tears—something that rarely happens for me. Despite the confusion, it was still a fantastic read!
