Born to Sin by Rosalind JamesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Four and a half stars.
Quinn Jeffries is a former OLympic swimmer turned lawyer and local judge. She has a reputation to maintain and some could consider her standoffish, a bit aloof, or maybe a bit odd. However, one of her running friends has decided she must start dating and has devised a six week programme, one date a week, to find her the perfect man. The trouble is, Quinn is a highly motivated, take-charge kind of woman and most men find that off-putting.
Single dad, Beckett Hughes has recently moved from Australia to small-town Sinful, Montana to manage a construction site for his boos, but also to get away from the memories of his late wife which beset him at home. His relationship with Quin gets off to a bad start when he appears in her traffic court after trying to outrun a train to get his two children to school on time for their first day. After that they seem to keep running into each other, she teaches swimming classes for the nervous, he takes the kids to the park and witnesses the disintegration of her date, etc, etc.
Just when it seems as though Beckett could be the man Quinn has been looking for, his old life comes beckoning.
This was an absolute blast of 100% full-on Rosalind James at her best. Funny, sweet, romantic, clever, witty dialogue, cute moppets, brilliant characters that just jump off the page.
Loved it.
