Between You and Me

WOW!!! Words cannot describe how much I loved Between You and Me by Jennifer Gracen, book four in her Harrison series. This is a story of two people who have chosen to live life by themselves, but for different reasons. Tess Harrison has everything but the baby she longs for. After not finding the perfect man for her, she escapes New York for the family retreat in Aspen, Colorado to research sperm banks and doctors. Logan Carter has been through hell and back after Katrina hit New Orleans. Leaving behind his social work career and his alcoholism he returned to Aspen to help his widowed mom and a new career as manager of homes for the rich and famous in the mountains around Aspen. In exchange for Logan agreeing to be her baby daddy, the old fashioned way, Tess will play his girlfriend to appease Mama Carter who is dying of cancer. The more time Logan and Tess spend together practicing their roles, the closer they get, becoming best friends and more. However, neither was looking for love or a soul mate. Could Tess and Logan get beyond the hurt and fears from their pasts? I really loved reading this book and had trouble putting this book down. Ms. Gracen is a wonderful story teller drawing me into her books, making me forget the world around me and not letting me go until I turned the last page. I highly recommend this book to other readers I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

4.5 star review of Between You and Me (The Harrisons #4) by Jennifer Gracen Jennifer Gracen is a relatively new author to me and although I have not read the previous books in The Harrison series, I had no trouble diving in to Between You and Me. Being the only girl, Tess tends to be a tad spoilt, never seeking the limelight, she is content to be in her brother’s shadows. Tess desperately wants a baby and with this in mind, turns to the man who has agreed to make her dream come true. Logan Carter is the manager of the Harrison ski house and he offers his services in exchange for her playing his girlfriend so that his dying mother is secure in the knowledge that he will not be alone when she dies. It’s a win/win for both of them ? Or is it? Complications arise when the purely physical relationship evolves into so much more when intense feelings develop. Will Logan and Tess decide to take a chance on love or will they ignore their feelings? One click to find out as this book had me drawn in from the very first page. This was a really enjoyable read, so much so that I am going to go and get the previous books in the series to read.

I hate to see this series end but Tess Harrison's story was a fabulous way to wrapped it up. Being the only daughter of the Harrison Family has always made relationships for Tess difficult. While it makes for a lonely life what she really yearns for is a baby of her own. After making the decision to go the sperm donor route she heads to her family's Aspen villa to get away from everything and everyone so nothing can cause her any stress. Meeting Logan Carter was never part of the plan and she's determined to resist him and not let him derail her plans. When she explains why to him she's shocked when he agrees to a plan. A plan that will give them both pleasure and her the baby she so desperately wants. Grab a copy of this one!! I think you'll really enjoy it
