Charlotte O’Shays’ newest book THEIR NO-STRINGS AFFAIR, is a fun and sexy tale of two people who don’t want to get involved but are destined to be together.

Honey Hill just wants to live in NYC, work in an art galley, and promote her work as a potter. A string of lousy events occurs when she moves to the big city and she finds herself homeless and jobless. When a waiting gig turns to disaster, she’s seriously reconsidering her options about staying.

Honey is scary smart, focused, independent, and doesn’t take anyone’s crap, so of course the guy she meets is the kind who wants to protect her from the all the bad things in the world, and in turn, drives her crazy…with want.

Jake Ricco has a secret and when the force that is Honey Hill barrels into his life, he doesn’t want to get involved with her because he knows that secret will ultimately hurt her – the last thing he wants to do.

But, since these two deserve to be together for so many reasons resisting that urge to step away from her proves too hard to do.

This book hit all the points I look for in a fun and sexy romance: great characters, a love you can route for, snappy dialogue, steamy love scenes, and a heroine and hero who, despite obstacles, find their way to their own HEA.

5 well deserved stars from me.

4.5 Stars!

Their No-Strings Affair by Charlotte O'Shay, is a beautifully written novel. I felt the connection between the two main characters almost immediately, and their evolving love affair was amazingly romantic, fun, and compassionate. This is the third book from the author's City of Dreams series and it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

The city that never sleeps is the new home to educated artist Honeysuckle Hill, after escaping from her cheating boyfriend, and the small town in upstate New York that never accepted her. Honey creates beauty within her ceramic pieces and she knows she will be successful once she is able to get her career going once again. Honey may be short in stature, but her exuberance for success both personally and professionally is heartfelt.

Former navy SEAL Jake Ricco, has built up quite a successful security firm in New York City. His heart of gold is coupled with good looks and a bit of cockiness. He is on the cusp of surrendering his life and relocating back to Italy, in order to fulfill a guilt-ridden promise he made to his uncaring mother years ago. He becomes a new man with Honey by his side, and as a result, their agreed to month-long affair has become so much more.

I really enjoyed this story. To begin with, the cover perfectly depicts the wonder that NYC evokes. The characters are well-developed and easy to get to know. Honey and Jake are quite passionate and their sexy times are hot. This well-conceived romance should definitely be added to your TBR list.
