I’m just your typical working girl who never mixes business with pleasure. Although some may say my business is all about pleasure. For the past four years, I’ve allowed my profession to define me, distancing myself from family, friends and most of all love. Hating the reflection I see staring back at me in the mirror, I muddle through each day with my heart sealed off like a tomb, until two strangers enter my life.
One teaching me the true meaning of friendship.
The other teaching me the true meaning of love.
She’s everything I’m not.
Humble, loving, and devoting her life to others.
We’re an unlikely duo who are polar opposites, but at the same time so alike.
Never in a million years could I be friends with someone like her…until I was.
Then there’s him.
He’s my Thursday afternoon client.
Just like all the others: handsome, rich and charming…yet so very different.
Trying to overcome a painful past, he seeks out my services as a refuge, only to find that we’re opening our hearts to each other in ways that neither of us could’ve imagined.
I could never fall in love with someone like him…until I did.
And now I’m finding myself longing for it to be Thursday afternoon all week long.
“Every time it snows its a new opportunity to experience that beauty once again. Just because that snow gets trampled on and dirty doesn’t mean we’ll never see the pureness in it once more. Life is all about second chances. We’re given them all the time.”
I cannot sing praises loud enough for Beth Rinyu’s writing and story telling loud enough! She never fails to fully immerse me in a story, and this one was no exception.
This is a tale of triumph and love and getting a second chance in life and it will keep you on the edge of your seat with twists that you don’t see coming. Tears. I had tears of joy and tears of heartbreak. She hit me right in the feels with this one.
But it was also funny and didn’t have any lulls that had me bored, it was also clean… fade to black sex scenes, but dang it man. That’s just what I needed at the moment. I was in a major book funk, and this story pulled me right of it and sucked me right int to story and I never wanted to leave.
There is just so much I want to say, but I went into this book relatively blind, because well.. I like that and trust Beth to deliver on anything she writes. So, I don’t want to give too much away.
Just.. read Thursday Afternoon.. sigh, I don’t think you will regret it and I think you will find a new author to love.
If you LOOVE a book filled with jaw dropping plot twists you NEED to read When Autumn Ends also by Beth Rinyu!
