Serving Sterling

Serving Sterling is book 2 of Everly Stone’s Sold to Sterling series and is a fantastic addition to this series. As always, Ms. Stone’s characters are interesting and likable, and had my undivided attention. Trudy and Sterling’s story continues right where we left them in book one, and as they spend more time together, they both struggle with the deep connection that they feel. Though they both internally remind themselves to stay emotionally distant, the more they let themselves get close to one another for the sake of the façade and game they are playing, the harder it is to keep the walls around their mutual attraction erected. But when an unexpected twist makes them flee the safety of Sterling’s private home, the twisted web of deception begins to unfurl. As expected, Ms. Stone has left me hanging on the edge of my seat with the turn of the final page in Serving Sterling leaving me with a tight grasp of my iPad while I must now await the release of the conclusion to this intriguing and sultry romance.

Serving Sterling starts unexpectedly. The back story was like a bomb dropping. There is a lot going on there. These stories don't take long to get through, but what makes a world of difference about them is they feel like a full length novel. The story line does not stray. We see how these characters develop into their own. I fell more for Sterling in this book. His shell is cracking with Trudy. I loved each moment of the naught and nice. And don't forget the extra spice. Trudy is finally allowing herself to be in the moment with Sterling. It is freeing. Serving Sterling still has the push and pull. But you start to unravel the true story behind the words. I can't wait for the next Novella. I have to know how this all comes to a full circle.

Serving Sterling was an AMAZINGLY HOT book! Its a quick read, you can even read the whole thing in an afternoon. I loved Sterling and my heart ached for him, so much tragedy in his life at the hands of one family! I didn't like his reasons for getting Trudy. I understood them, I appreciated that his plans evolved accordingly throughout, but I just wanted to scream at him 'THE BEST REVENGE IS LIVING WELL'. Sweet innocent Trudy, she's a people pleaser, a conflict avoider, and I wanted her to wisen up, stop worrying about everyone else and focus on finding happiness of her own. They are both on the right path, I just kept wishing they'd trust each other and take the steps together. Can't wait for the next one!
