Kelly Berman leads an organized, orderly, and solitary life.
She has spent her life taking care of others and understands
the importance of keeping a schedule. Kelly keeps herself
busy; she plays cello for the city orchestra, gives cello
lessons, and works at a music store. Coming home one evening,
she is knocked down by a gorgeous man with a pierced ear and
eyebrow. Kelly thinks he is sexy and seems to be the ultimate
bad boy.
Ren has just moved into Kelly’s apartment building and is her
new neighbor. He is laid back and the lead guitarist for a
local rock band, Loose Threads. Ren is the opposite of Kelly
and he thinks it may do her some good to loosen up a bit. He
is interested in getting to know his new neighbor better and
offers to buy her dinner since he knocked her down.
Kelly cannot find a way out of the invitation and reluctantly
agrees. Ren shows up at her door with dinner and tequila. As
they share their dinner and talk, they begin to realize that
they are both attracted to the other. After dinner, Ren
coaxes her into playing a drinking game which will allow him
to possibly get to know her better and share some things about
himself. After a few drinks, Kelly is a little tipsy and she
is not as controlled and straight-laced as normal. Kelly
decides to take a chance and act on her attraction to Ren.
They share an amazing night, but the next morning Kelly is not
sure that Ren fits into her well-ordered life. Ren plans to
peruse Kelly until she agrees to see him again, but his career
suddenly takes off. Will Kelly and Ren find a way to explore
this wild adventure they started or will Kelly shut Ren out of
her life?
Opposites Attract was a fun read and I really
enjoyed watching Ren and Kelly struggle to find a balance
between her lifestyle and his. Kelly is a responsible and
sensible woman who has a bit of a wild woman hiding inside.
Ren is the sexy bad boy that we all want to experience at
least one in our lives! Bonnie Dee’s characters are genuine
and I enjoyed how she combined all the real messy emotions and
trauma that we have to deal with into this great read!
Opposites Attract is a wonderful way to spend an
evening! |
