Along Came An Aussie (De Luca Sisters)
by Lexxie Couper
Blurb:
Owen Blackthorne
is in the States to visit his sister and to try and keep his mind off a
life-changing phone call he’s waiting for. When the most amazing woman he's
ever met grabs his attention at a rooftop party, he decides she's the
distraction he was looking for.
Neither of them
are looking for anything serious, and love at first sight only happens in the
movies, so why does whatever's sparking between them start to feel
so...significant?

Review:
I have always loved to read a wonderful story
of a man out of his comfort zone finding love with a woman living life to the
fullest and Lexxie's newest short but sexy story is a wonderful example. Couper
is one of those authors that can take even the shortest story and keep it
interesting, sensual, sweet and romantic despite its length. This story is about a man that has
traveled half-way around the world to take his mind off his problems and find a
way to cope with the possibility of a life altering truth. When he meets a woman that blows him away,
dressed in the most outlandish Halloween costume at a party he didn’t even
want to attend no less, he doesn’t know if he should trust his heart or believe
the doubts in love at first sight. But
this isn’t the kind of woman that will allow anyone to make a decision for her
and when she meets the man of her dreams, even if it seems insane she isn’t
letting him go. I really enjoyed getting
to know Owen Blackthorne (and oh-My-Gods, I can’t believe there are more of
those men running around in Lexxie’s mind she hasn't already shared with us) and
his intelligence and sweetness. He is on
the cusp of a serious life changing bit of news, and keeping his mind off of
the call by embracing the crazy heat and sensuality he feels with Bria shows he
is smart enough to know a good thing when he sees it. He definitely has a lot of fears to deal
with, and there were a few moments you wanted to smack him for being an ass,
but overall he is a good guy, funny and cute AF too. Bria has lived through some things recently
that make her wary of men, but on the same coin she knows that when she meets
Owen she had met her perfect match. When
things get deep and complicated extremely quickly, she shows the strength of
both her backbone of steel and her heart as she refuses to let him walk into
his future alone no matter what it might hold.
I love Bria and she is definitely the type of woman I could see being
the friend we all need to remind us that sometimes you just need to jump in
with both feet and embrace life without a plan. The heat between Owen and Bria
was off the charts and only got more so as their story went on, but though
their story was short, it’s obvious from the depth of their connection that
they will find a way to make a future together no matter what comes their
way. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy as Bria’s triplet sisters find their matches as well and I
can imagine they will be just as sexy, though in their own unique ways I am
sure.
