Making It Last

MAKING IT LAST (CAMELOT SERIES)                                         RUTHIE KNOX
Posted: July 4, 2013

In a brand-new eBook original novella, RITA finalist and USA Today bestselling author Ruthie Knox takes her spectacular Camelot series to new heights with a tale of desire reinvented.
A hotel bar. A sexy stranger. A night of passion. There’s a part of Amber Mazzara that wants those things, wants to have a moment—just one—when life isn’t a complicated tangle of house and husband and kids and careers. Then, after a long, exhausting “vacation” with her family, her husband surprises her with a gift: a few days on the beach . . . alone.

Only she won’t be alone for long, because a handsome man just bought her a drink. He’s cool, he’s confident, and he wants to take Amber to bed and keep her there for days. Lucky for them both, he’s her husband. He’s got only a few days in Jamaica to make her wildest desires come true, but if he can pull it off, there’s reason to believe that this fantasy can last a lifetime.

MY REVIEW:

Welcome to Camelot or at least it should feel like a dream come true right? At least that is what Amber thought was going to happen when she met married and started having children with Tony (ok maybe she jumped the married part when it came to the baby part) but you know what I mean. It was all supposed to be perfect forever right? Then, why was she sitting in front of a Jamaican resort with family up the wazoo watching her deal with her youngest child throwing up his guts because her middle son talked him into eating chocolate when he knows he is allergic to milk products. So, the other two boys are supposed to be separated on different benches her husband is supposed to be gathering luggage and helping with her family and ill father. Now she is sitting wondering when she can get a few minutes to have another good cry like she did last night over her life. She seemed to be doing that a lot of that lately. In fact ever since her youngest started first grade and she had all this time on her hands. It's only been ten years of marriage and she and her husband Tony, don't even know each other for he is working fifteen hour days or more. Tony & Amber who are they? Hell, forget him who is she? The shuttle arrives and it's time to leave. With all the worried looks the bus is loaded and she and Tony are the last to get ready to board and then Tony wants to talk, now??? The next thing she knows he says, he has talked it over with her aunt and her mom and they decided that she has looked so lost and tired that it would be a nice thing for her to stay and have a mini vacation there without all of them. She is blown away, feeling like a throw away. But when Tony kisses her in a way she knows he is worried but she can't tell about what? Read this moving Novella. I totally could relate to this couple. I really believe more women can relate to Amber then I am sure they will admit. It is a scary time when the last one goes into that all day school day and your full time job of mom is over. You will see a part of yourself in her at some point and will feel her pain and her love and happiness too. There is a lot of fun couple sex and it is hot, bring a fan.
