Blurb:
Kate Parello runs a volunteer program in Belize for Artists for
International Aid, where she deals with self-centered artists who use the
program as a means to repair their marred reputations. She loves the country,
the people, and what AIA stands for, but too many diva volunteers have turned
her off to press-seeking celebrities altogether and left her questioning the
value of the volunteer program. When she meets incredibly handsome and charming
Sage, he stirs emotions she hasn’t felt for ages, even though
he represents the things she despises.
Laid-back artist Sage Remington escapes his
wealthy lifestyle in the Big Apple for a two-week journey of self-discovery to
figure out how a guy who has so much can feel so empty. When he meets
ultra-organized Kate, who lives her life the way he's always dreamed of
living his, the attraction is too hot to ignore, but Sage is there
to figure out what’s missing in his life, not to find a woman.
Every
look, and every late-night chat in the romantic jungle brings them closer
together, but Sage can barely think past stripping away Kate’s misconceptions
about him. Kate fights him every step of the way—even though she finds it hard
to ignore the strikingly handsome, generous-to-a-fault artist who wants to do
nothing more than right the wrongs of the world—and love her to the ends of the
earth.
Review by
Marlene Engel
Sage wasn’t
like the rest of the celebrities that had made the trip to Punta Palacia,
Belize. While the others were there for
publicity or to mend their damaged careers, Sage genuinely wanted to help out
and give back to the under developed area.
As a well-known artist, Sage’s art work sells for over six figures per
piece. But money doesn’t define him as a
person. In his heart, he’s always wanted
to do more. And, this was just the
opportunity to do so.
What Sage
didn’t expect was to be working side by side with a woman who was not only
beautiful, but had a sassy attitude to match.
Kate was the program director for AIA, Artist for International
Aid. She was used to working with
celebrities and their large egos. She
didn’t take crap from them and expected them to do what they came to do … to
help the people of the community. But it
didn’t take long for her to realize that Sage wasn’t like the rest of the
celebrities. He was down to earth, there
to help and didn’t want any publicity in return. But Kate wasn’t ready to fully let her guard
down. Her experience with celebrities
was that, deep down, they were all the same.
Of all the time she had spent doing this job, she had never mixed
business with pleasure and she certainly didn’t plan to change that now.
There’s just something about Sage that makes you fall in love
with him from the very beginning. Maybe it’s
his selfless ways or that he just seems so normal despite being famous. His character was a breath of fresh air and I
really enjoyed getting to know him. Once
again, Melissa Foster gives us a book worthy of praise. This is a definite must read. Although it could be read as a stand-alone,
for more enjoyment, I’d recommend reading the series in order.
