One Night…Nine-Month Scandal
by
Sarah Morgan
Alekos
Zagorakis can’t believe his eyes! The Zagorakis diamond is for sale on
eBay! Surely this must be a mistake… and it’s one he intends to
correct. Alekos gave the diamond to Kelly Jenkins four years ago and
then failed to show up for the wedding. Kelly wants to finally move on
but will Alekos be willing to let go for good? One night is about to
bring all of their emotions to the forefront. Will love stand a chance?
Wow! Sarah Morgan does
a phenomenal job at character development in ONE
NIGHT… NINE-MONTH SCANDAL. Alekos and Kelly are polar opposites in
their beliefs, but that doesn’t stop the attraction from hitting them
both head on. Even time and distance hasn’t diminished their feelings
for one another. Both have unresolved trauma in their pasts, however,
and it’s a bumpy road for them to overcome. I couldn’t help but laugh
out loud as they verbally sparred, and yet soon after I would tear up
at moments such as the one involving the teddy bears. Sarah Morgan
shows the true heart and soul of her characters, making for one heck of
an emotional read.
It’s hard to make
Alpha male characters who are strong, wealthy, and
used to getting their way without them coming across as total jerks.
Sarah Morgan handles this perfectly, as Alekos’ confusion over Kelly’s
responses softens him so we can see the emotion underlying his
behaviors. Quite frankly, I’m hoping to see both Alekos and Kelly
again, perhaps in a book featuring Vivien!
ONE NIGHT…NINE-MONTH
SCANDAL is a beautiful and emotionally intense
tale. Sarah Morgan is to be commended for addressing such past
emotional traumas and showing how they can affect a person’s adult
relationships. Bravo!
