Review: Perfect Strangers by J.T. Geissinger

About the Book

“These kisses of his...they're demanding and possessive. They're hungry and deep. They're the kisses of a man who wants more of a woman—who wants everything—and isn't going to stop until he gets it."

Author Olivia Rossi hasn’t been able to write a word since tragedy struck two years ago and ripped her world apart. Heartbroken and still haunted by the past, she accepts an offer to spend the summer at a friend’s apartment in Paris in search of healing and her lost muse.

What she finds instead is James, an enigmatic stranger who ignites in her an unexpected and all-consuming passion.

Agreeing to tell each other nothing more than their first names, Olivia and James embark on a torrid affair. But the more time they spend together, the more Olivia begins to realize her summer fling is turning into a powerful connection…and that the magnetic man she’s falling in love with might not be what he seems at all.

 Review

Perfect Strangers was wow, it was wow, and I can’t really describe it without breaching spoiler territory. This book is best if you go in blind and appreciate the twist and turns as it comes along. In summary, Olivia Rossi is struggling with writer’s block after suffering a tragedy. She accepts an offer to stay in Paris for three months with the hope that it’ll heal her broken heart. She doesn’t expect to meet the perfect stranger—James Blackwood. And nor she does expect to enter a sexy affair with him.

Olivia and James interactions were filled with passion, and it felt at times too good to be true. Especially, when they both decided to not get personal with each other. Despite how much at times they wish too.

I can’t elaborate much, but the twist hit me hard. Like completely speechless to the point where I had to go back and re-read what I had read because I was devastated and in shook. This book was an entertaining and emotional experience, and I thought with the last twist, nothing else would happen, but I was completely wrong. And when I finished the book, the only thing I could do is nod and wonder if I was an idiot and had missed any signs for how this would end.

Final Thoughts

Perfect Strangers was an absolutely steamy book with wild twists and turns that will leave your jaw on the ground.
