Synopsis:
When Daisy books a Sixties extravaganza on the internet, she thinks
hippies and free love. Only she misses one tiny word in the advertisement
and ends up at a weekend for over-sixties at Bedlingham Manor.
When sexy hotel manager Jake casts Daisy as a nun in the murder mystery, she
is ready to scream and call the weekend off. But then Jake shows up dressed
as a priest and he can’t wait to uncover the red lace beneath the nun
costume. Jake and Daisy don’t expect to fall in love but they discover that
their weekend of hot sex might be much more than they bargained for.

SRR GRADE: B+
|
Daisy shows up for her weekend of fun, armed to the teeth
with attitude and sexy clothes, only to discover her mistake about what the
Manor is really offering.
Between the sheep incident and her almost totaling her car, I loved this
character. She took her lumps and just kept on going. Daisy is much more
than she appears, and has had to fight pretty hard to be who she is today.
What’s her big secret?
Jake has just cruised by in life as the second son. He’s not had any real
reason to work too hard. He knows he’ll never inherit. Why knock himself out
if it’s not necessary? His true love is writing, but no one really sees that
as a career. Then his father presents him with a challenge against his older
brother. Who will win?
When these two first meet, Daisy is immediately interested. Who wouldn’t be?
Jake is a God, and has the statue to prove it. The chemistry is fast and
flammable. But Jake runs hot and cold, and Daisy is confused. What is up
with that? If he’s not shoving her in a closet, he’s locking her in the
boiler room. As if!
The whole weekend is a mystery, in more ways that one, and you’ll have to
read the story to find out whodunit.
