| Gilmartin, Washington – Present Day Despite her nomadic upbringing, Rheo Whitlock has achieved the success she strived for and is a translator at the United Nations. But a hot mic moment went viral after she criticized what was going on led to her being forced into a six-month sabbatical. She has spent the months holed up at her grandmother’s vacation home, and as the time grows closer to returning to New York, she is having performance issues with her foreign language translation. Her grandmother isn’t aware of what is going on in Rheo’s life, or even that she is in Gilmartin. One day, a strange man shows up on her doorstep. It appears that he has rented the house for a few weeks. What will Rheo do now? Fletcher Wright has spent his life living on the edge, always chasing the next high. However, after being diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, he has been ordered to rest. He rented the house via his good friend, Carrie, who happens to be Rheo’s cousin. Fletch is surprised to see Rheo there, but he is willing to share accommodations, especially since she tells him she will be gone soon. Just one stipulation: he can’t tell Carrie she is there. Fletch and Rheo are two totally opposite people. He’s an adventure seeker and loves to hike and run. Rheo would rather sit around and not take chances. Yet, the sparks fly between them. How long before their cohabitation leads to sharing the bedroom? LOVE IN TRANSLATION is one of those books that will tickle your fancy. Rheo has lost her confidence after being embarrassed with the hot mic moment—and holing herself away in an isolated resort town probably isn’t the best therapy. But she wanted comfort, and this is where she landed. The arrival of Fletch throws her for a loop. The man is attractive, and she shouldn’t be thinking about jumping his bones, especially since his relationship with Carrie hasn’t been specified. Yet, they can’t resist each other. What’s a little fling before flying the coop to return to New York? But being around Fletch has Rheo putting off her return. Will she even have a job if she does return? Fletch can hardly sit still and eventually tries to stretch his doctor’s orders of no strenuous exercise. Of course, he gets a kick out of the fact that Rheo hates exercising. He can’t help but egg her on a few times by taking her on a leisurely walk that she calls a hike. But the attraction between them is intense and the more he gets to know her, the more he likes what he sees. Yet, how can they try to form a relationship if Rheo’s job and life is in New York City and Fletch’s work is all over the world? Readers will relate to the conflict Rheo and Fletch experience in LOVE IN TRANSLATION as they attempt to navigate this newfound attraction. They like each other a lot but is it enough for them to try to go farther with their relationship than an affair? The plot is fun, the banter deliciously superb and the sex is sensuously hot. Don’t miss this gem of a tale by picking up LOVE IN TRANSLATION. Patti Fischer |
