Infatuation

Infatuation by Alison Kent is a wickedly sexy story. Milla Page is a nightlife reviewer for MatchMeUponline.com. She needs a couple of no strings dates to accompany her out on the town. Milla picks a name from the office pool of past dates and ends up with an old college flame, Rennie Bergen. Milla's history with Rennie is complex to say the least. Rennie Bergen is shocked to see Milla Page at his car shop. He agrees to be her "date" for three weeks. But their first date has the old passions roaring back to life. Rennie and Milla's history is told in flash backs which really adds to the depth of the story. Their present reconnection only adds to their searing passion. They had never talked about how their past affected them and now they realize that they have a lot to offer each other. Alison Kent packs a lot of passion and emotion into this book. It's a must read and definitely a keeper.

Rennie Bergen and Milla Page knew each other in college, when she was the girlfriend of his roommate. The two hit it off immediately, proving that opposites most definitely do attract. Rennie came from a hard-working middleclass family and Milla was the cream of the high society crop, as was her boyfriend. When Rennie and Milla had a secret, brief affair, the result was a myriad of hurt feelings and ultimately, changed lives. Milla works at a dating service, as a reviewer of hot clubs and night spots. When Rennie's name comes up as a potential date from a "pool" of men's business cards in her office, Milla nervously decides to go see him at his car repair/body shop. Rennie is cool to Milla, almost cruel at times, but seeing how his feelings were the first to be stomped on in their earlier relationship, and because he is unaware of the significant changes in Milla's life, he's not a jerk for it. Milla is a small woman, of tempered steel it seems, as she is remarkably capable of taking care of herself. She gives back to Rennie as good as she takes. The two embark on a new, adult relationship, shocked that the sexual intensity that previously existed is still there, possibly stronger than before. Just when it looks like they might be moving in the direction of a solid relationship, both find that the other has been keeping secrets and that their lives aren't at all what they seem. Several brief flashbacks into the past help detail the previous relationship of Rennie and Milla. I typically don't like flashbacks, but these are very well done and go far to embellish the story, similar to the flashbacks in AK's FOUR MEN AND A LADY, also excellently done. I highly recommend this book to all romance fans, whether regular readers of the Blaze line or not. And if you haven't picked up a Blaze lately? DO IT!
