a review of In Her Closet by dympna5789
Yves is a staff writer for a Philadelphia newspaper, penning a weekly lifestyle column about the nightlife and entertainment in the city with personal anecdotes thrown in to liven up the column. She reminded me of Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City with her addiction to designer clothes and shoes.
Yves leads a happy, delightfully filthy life. Until she meets nonfiction editor Elijah Weinstein.
Julian Webster is a wealthy, well known painter that Yves meets at a reggae club. He’s a young virile man that falls hard for Yves. He tries but fails to get more out of Yves than a one night stand. Julian was very sweet and sexy and I really liked his character. He pays tribute to Yves in a pretty awesome way.
With the promise of a fairy tale turned real, Yves must dig into the depths of her past. But once she shakes out the skeletons in her closet, will she be ready for all Elijah has to offer?
Then finally there was drop dead gorgeous, Elijah Weinstein, the book editor who wanted Yves to write a memoir in hopes of turning her into a published author. Now, this man just seemed too good to be true. And he doesn’t make it a secret that he is very attracted to her. Of course Yves is only too happy to jump his bones and scratch her itch. But Elijah gives her an ultimatum that he will only make love to her when she is ready to give him her heart. And he very patiently waits for her to sort out her complicated life.
I enjoyed reading this story and look forward to the second and third books of this trilogy!
