Review: Love Bites by Ophelia London (Sugar City #1)


Sharona Blaire doesn't just dump her drink on Jeff Cruz once; she does it twice, in two different locations on the very same day. Maybe it's the time difference or jet lag but her business trip to Australia is certainly not off on the right foot. But Jeff is more than forgiving and both he and Sharona share some good conversation in a hotel bar. Neither share personal information about each other, including their names, but they do share one hot kiss that could have led to much more but Jeff is left waiting for a Sharona that fails to return. Only she does, the following day, on his research ship. Turns out that she's the auditor sent to make sure the grant he's been given is being used properly and the marine biologist in him can't help but be a tad ticked off at the intrusion. Soon though, he's once again distracted by the gorgeous auditor, but can anything really come from their attraction, especially since they need to keep things professional?

Love Bites is the first novella in the Sugar City series from bestselling author Ophelia London and brings together the fascinating world of shark research, auditing, and two people who are made for relationships wondering if they can live with something temporary with each other. Sharona Blaire and Jeff Cruz are both interesting main characters and I liked the chemistry that they had with each other. There's that instant connection they shared while at the bar, and while neither has indulged in anything casual before, they're tempted by one another. However, they both have trust issues--Sharona with how Jeff is treating the sharks he uses for his research and Jeff with what it is Sharona is really after in her auditing job. Aside from the love story, I couldn't get enough of the shark research aspect of the story. It's what gave this book an added dimension of originality. Love Bites was a short but sweet read and one I'm giving four stars to. ♥
