She's got everyday life struggles, she's a professional, and Academia woman, and she has a toddler. Tyler is a caretaker of his ailing father. He's educated, he wants a good life, he wants love, and he's freaking scared. So, I giggled: my ass looks like two puppies fighting under a blanket. And I felt real: I wears me out, being needed. Lisa calls me a martyr and tells me to stop trying to save everybody and take care of myself. I do, I tell her. I do. But it's not exactly true. One night a month, I let somebody else take care of me. And I giggled and blushed: Shameless, I stare at his package, lovingly outlined in brown polyester. His fly has orange topstitching with tiny little arrows that point inward, as if to say Here's my jock. And I swooned so hard I almost fell of the couch: "What kind of date?" "The kind where I'm Tyler, and you're Mandy, and I pick you up at seven and drive you to a restaurant and buy you dinner." This sounds like my kind of date but he's not done yet. "And afterward, we talk about our childhoods over coffee, and you make me laugh, and then I kiss you good night and feel like skipping on my way back to my car because you're so fucking fantastic." And then, just before I decided I want to hug Ruthie for the millionth time, when I finished this novella, I (as previously admitted), with one sentence, wanted to squeal, swoon, grin and sob with despair. But I'm not quoting this one. ( ) TheBookHammock | Sep 24, 2013 | Ruthie has quickly worked her way up the ranks to be positioned as one of my favorite contemporary romance authors. As such, I always have a higher expectation when reading one of her books. Alas, that may have been a downfall in this book. While, by the end, I enjoyed this, the beginning had me uncertain. I didn't love Mandy. She came off as selfish and, to be honest, a little bitchy. However, the more I got into it, the more I was able to enjoy. And I loved the ending and everything that led up to it. Especially when Mandy stood up for herself and what she wanted. In the end, this was another solid read from Ruthie, though definitely not one of my favorites.

He’ll be any man she wants—except himself. A Strangers on a Train StoryMeet me at the train museum after dark. Dress for 1957. When Mandy joins an online dating service, she keeps her expectations low. All she wants is a distraction from the drudgery of single parenthood and full-time work. But the invitation she receives from a handsome man who won’t share his real name promises an adventure—and a chance to pretend she’s someone else for a few hours. She doesn’t want romance to complicate her life, but Mandy’s monthly role-playing dates with her stranger on a train—each to a different time period—become the erotic escape she desperately needs. And a soul connection she never expected. Yet when she tries to draw her lover out of the shadows, Mandy has a fight on her hands…to convince him there’s a place for their fantasy love in the light of day. Warning: Contains sexy role-playing, theatrical application of coal dust, and a hero who can rock a pair of brown polyester pants. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This is about two strangers that meet periodically as strangers, a sort of a drawn out roleplay, and how they know add don't know one another.
It was something in the neighborhood of an hour to read, it's time well spent. (less) [edit]
