She has always found it hard to make friends. Her family took her out of grade school because she was bullied, the other women on her tennis team (she was a good player and attended a crappy college on an athletic scholarship) did not like her and it appears her coach didn't either. When she gets to BC she memorizes scripts to interact with people and tries to integrate but she is unsuccessful. It is made clear that she is very beautiful but she is weird in some way. It is hinted she might be on the autism spectrum, but no diagnosis is ever offered. Adrian, our MMC never notices anything odd about her. Caroline hires Adrian on a sugar baby website to teach her how to live in Boston and get some culture so people don't find her off-putting. No sex, just dates to cultural events. Adrian is an artist who just lost his gallery when he broke up with the wealthy gallery owner who was also his long-time girlfriend and cannot make rent, hence the sugar baby gambit. Somehow this turns into a lovely story, contrived and lovely but lovely nonetheless. They talk of art and books and French baking and good coffee and other things that make me happy. The moral of the story seems to be that commerce is more important than art, which is not great but it works for our couple. (Note that the spice on this one is mild - there is nothing beyond cheek kissing for the first 3/4 of the book and only one really graphic sex scene.) Not life changing, but certifiably romantic. 6 likes (  ) Narshkite | May 1, 2024 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:She's lonely, rich, and ten years too young for him—but she’s also his "sugar daddy," and they couldn't have less in common. Opposites attract in this charming new romance by Katie Shepard. MBA student Caroline Sedlacek knows her personal balance sheet is a little lopsided. On the asset side, at twenty-two she’s got an NCAA trophy, a great education...and the two million dollars she unexpectedly inherited. Liabilities? She's never had friends, a boyfriend, or any life experiences away from the tennis court or the classroom. She'd love to invest herself in everything else, but "everything else" never came easily for her. In the ten years since he left art school as a vaunted prodigy, Adrian Landry has won shows and major prizes—and done his best to shed his reputation as a pretty man who makes pretty paintings. Though currently broke and sleeping off a bad break-up on his college roommate’s couch, he knows this is the chance to get his life back on track at thirty-three—he just needs the money to find a new gallery. When Adrian’s roommate lists him on a thinly veiled escort site, Caroline is not the patron he expected. She’s way too young, way too naive, and loudly uninterested in having sex with him. Instead, they’re both going to get exactly what they want: a little culture on her side, and a lot of cash on his. Aside from their sugar baby arrangement, they’ve got nothing in common. But as they reel from the symphony to the Haymarket, they learn that what they want and what they need might be two very different things. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
