The Plan by Ella James
You’ve heard this story before. Woman feels her biological clock ticking and gets someone to knock her up.
Not for love, for baby.
Crazy, right?
That’s what I thought.
Then I found out my fiancé had a vasectomy. The life I thought I had? Nope. Suddenly I’m 33, and I don’t even have a kissing buddy.
When my mom’s health takes a turn and I wind up back in my hometown of Fate, Alabama, I tell myself to leave things up to…well, you know.
Then I see Gabriel McKellan. He’s Fate’s most famous son, a bestselling author who is beautiful, complicated, and living just below me. In addition to his plus-sized brain, Gabe’s well-endowed in other ways, and great in bed to boot. I would know. He's my ex husband.
When I suggest The Plan, I don't imagine that he'll take the bait. It's been ten years, and we don't work. But Fate has other plans for both of us.
Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thoroughly enjoyed this angsty, hot-as-hell read!
"I stand and watch him for a moment, trying to understand how he still feels like mine."
Marley never really planned to settle back down in her hometown, Fate, but that's exactly where the direction of her life takes her. And, she certainly never expected to bump into her ex-husband of twelve years. Nor, expect him to be her downstairs neighbour.
"I can't help the way my gaze caresses her curves. Mine. Except - they're not. And isn't that strange?"
Gabriel is an asshole. He's hostile and tries to drive her away the day she arrives. He's back in Fate with a ton of baggage, dealing his demons and the aftermath of a shocking revelation. Seeing Marley again is a shock but he can't help obsessing about her.
"His mouth is on my throat like something hot and hungry, hard now - I can feel his teeth - and I can't stop a little cry that's really more a moan."
I found this quite a compelling read. No matter how much time has passed since they last saw one another, the fascination and chemistry between them burns as brightly as ever.
Gabriel is so intense! He's obviously hurting over something and battling with something, every day, while he blows hot and cold towards Marley. In a moment of mad clarity, she suggests The Plan to him. He finds it incredibly hard to do anything else but agree, as the pull Gabriel feels towards her is undeniable and far too tempting. In the chaos of his life, she had always given him peace and was a safe place to fall.
"We can be unmarried for eternity, and you'll still be the one I love."
This story deals with so many issues, but the passion between them is real and all-consuming. I absolutely loved how the story drew to a close - it was very romantic, heartwarming, and ended on a really optimistic and happy note.
