Veena’s review of Then Came You (Laws of Attraction, Book 3) by Kate Meader
Contemporary Romance published byLoveswept 07 May 19
What an ending to this series! The chemistry between Audrey and Grant has simmered all through the series and I just couldn’t wait to see how their story would play out. Not only is Ms. Meader one of my all-time favorite contemporary romance writers, but this story sets the seal on why she holds that place in my affections.
So Audrey apparently does not like to fly and since she can’t drive, along comes Grant, her ex-husband, to the rescue. Surprise! Surprise! Audrey hasn’t had the heart to tell the one person she loves the most in her family about her broken marriage, so Grant and Audrey are going to have to pretend to be husband and wife in her parents’ home. The biggest surprise, of course, is the conspiracy between Grammy and Grant! Poor Audrey, she’s definitely been had by a determined man.
The one thing that’s been a puzzle all along is why they broke up in the first place. The chemistry has been sizzling, clearly there are feelings on both sides, and yet no one seems to know what actually happened. When the truth is revealed, it’s heartbreaking and totally not what you’d have expected. Ms. Meader shares the back story of how they met, fell in love, married and divorced as the two of them hit the road. Can their differences ever be resolved? Grant is determined to win his wife back.
As they deal with her dysfunctional family, the story plays out to a beautiful conclusion and an unexpected happier ever after. Another winner for the keeper shelf. I’m looking forward to what comes next from this author.
Grade: A
Summary:
In the courtroom, they’re rivals. In the bedroom, they’re . . . divorced. But could the road trip from hell lead to a second chance at love?
Aubrey Gates is the hottest divorce lawyer in Chicago, a barb-tongued stiletto with legs that go on for miles. When her cool gray eyes meet mine across the battlefield, I want her like I’ve never wanted anyone or anything. Then I remember who she is: the woman who brought me to my knees. The woman who destroyed my faith in relationships.
The woman I used to call . . . wife.
And she needs a favor from me, Grant Lincoln.
It seems my ex forgot to mention the demise of our marriage to her dear old grammy, and now we’re both expected to attend her ninetieth birthday party. In Boston. And because it isn’t already awkward enough, Aubrey and I are driving there together from Chicago. That’s more than a thousand miles of tension, heartbreak, and barely concealed lust.
A little piece of paper might say we’re over, but this road trip is the true test. I intend to get my wife back . . . and I won’t stop until “I do.”
