The New Year’s
Masquerade by Elise Marion
Orlando
Sanchez is a player, a very gentlemanly player but player none the less. Relationships
were just not his thing. Thanks to his parents broken marriage, he didn’t see
any reason to give his heart to a woman to only have her walk all over it. Sasha
Olsen was independent and not Orlando’s type, so she was safe to have as a
friend. Someone he could be himself around without the trappings of the games
that men and women play. So when he walked into his shower one day to find
Sasha, it came as quite a shock to Orlando that he found her more alluring and
attractive than any other woman he had known. One quick romantic act and he was
hooked. He couldn’t get enough of the amazing woman that his friend had
suddenly become.
Sasha
knew Orlando was a player and she knew that acting on her feelings for him
would be a mistake but she just couldn’t help herself. She didn’t want to lose
his friendship but the more time they spent being more than friends, the more
she realized that when it was over, she was going to be in pain. She would not
only loose the man she loved but her best friend as well.
I
enjoyed this well written story more as I continued to read and the ending was satisfying.
It definitely has the happily ever after that we like in a romance story. I gave
it 4 stars, because at the beginning of the story the friendship they both kept
referring to just wasn’t clear to me. It was well into the story before I could
see the strong connection they had before they become lovers. I felt like there
should have been more of their history as friends first before the quick jump
into sex and the misunderstandings that followed.
Elise Marion writes enchanting love stories with a sexy twist. You will enjoy her writing.
