The True Garza (Red Cage Book 3) by S. Ann Cole – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
The True Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
When London meets a man at a bar deep in the woods all she is looking for is a quick, no-strings attached fling. She gets that in a man named Mateo that she spends seven pleasure filled evenings with. Once the week is up London gets on with her life and never expects to see Mateo again.
A full year has gone by and although London’s life has resumed to normal, she cannot stop thinking about that man she met in the woods. When she starts working with an agency called Red Cage, she comes face-to-face with the man she has not been able to stop thinking about. Never in her wildest dreams did London expect to see this man ever again, yet here he is and now he is her boss. Not only that but as it turns out, Mateo is not even his real name.
London and True were wonderful characters and you can almost feel the sexual tension between them. This was not something that either were willing to admit nor were they willing to give into. True is sexy, with a body that will not quit, and he oozes sexuality. Every woman lusts after him and not only does he know it but he thrives on the attention. True is used to getting what he wants and having women lavish him with gifts and attention. He has no desire to have a relationship or be tied down by any one woman. Lonny is strong willed, independent, hot headed, and does not back down from a challenge. She hits every obstacle head on and is a force to be reckoned with. Lonny is not the type of woman to be wooed by any man nor does she want a man to get in the way of her career. Neither Lonny nor True can deny there is a strong sexual attraction between them, but is that all it is?
This book leaves the reader running the gamut of emotions so be mentally prepared to be tugged in all sorts of directions. Some of the scenes between Lonny and True were downright steamy and almost leave you breathless. Other times you want to scream at them because they are both so pig headed and stubborn as they deny their feelings for each other. Then there are moments when we are brought to tears when learn about their past experiences and how it made them put up walls. Every so often we get a chuckle at some of the text messages between True and his brother’s wife, Lexi, when True asks for her advice. Very well written and the characters were likable and relatable. I highly recommend this book!
