Heart And Soul
(Angel Sands, #8)
by Carrie Elks
An ER doctor, the single mom next door, and a fake relationship that feels all too real…
Moving to Angel Sands is a brand new start for single mom Meghan Hart. With a beautiful new apartment and a business she’s fallen in love with, things are finally looking up.
Then she meets her gorgeous new neighbor.
Rich Martin has no luck with relationships. He’s too busy saving lives to think about his own. But from the moment he sees Meghan, sparks fly.
After a run-in with a persistent ex, he asks Meghan for help. Pretend to be his girlfriend for a month. Despite her misgivings, Meghan agrees.
As they spend more time together, the chemistry between them explodes, ending in a kiss-to-end-all-kisses.
Before long, neither of them is certain what’s fake and what’s real anymore.
And right now, they’re in no rush to find out…

My Review:
I have easily tumbled into each installment of this engaging series with the comfortable ease of visiting a friend. And although each book tends to introduce a new friend, they are soon familiar and adored. I can always count on Carrie Elks’s main characters to be highly likable, admirable, and endearingly flawed. Her writing style flowed smoothly and seamlessly implanted me in each scene while craftily encompassing all the senses, which often proved hazardous to my diet plans as I currently found myself wanting to eat like an eight-year-old and craving tater tots and ice cream. This installment was generally low angst with lashings of humorous small-town issues, a deluded yet cleverly resourceful stalker, family drama, a slowly developing romance between a hot doc and a cool ice cream lady neighbors, and a few deliciously steamy encounters that had me gasping to catch my breath. More, please!
Carrie Elks writes contemporary romance with a sizzling edge. Her first book, Fix You, has been translated into eight languages and made a surprise appearance on Big Brother in Brazil. Luckily for her, it wasn’t voted out. Carrie lives with her husband, two lovely children, and a larger-than-life black pug called Plato. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found baking, drinking an occasional (!) glass of wine, or chatting on social media.
Good to hear the Angel Sands series is still going and that you are still enjoying the books. Great review.
Glad to see you enjoyed this one.
