From USA TODAY bestselling author Stefanie London comes the second book in her scorching-hot miniseries Close Quarters! Drew Richardson discovers she’s been having a racy affair with the best man at her sister’s wedding… Will their irresistible chemistry turn into something deeper? I swore off romance after my ex broke my heart, so I’m not thrilled to be back home performing maid-of-honor … maid-of-honor duties for my twin sister. Her bridesmaids want everything to be capital P Perfect, and the best man, Flynn Lewis, is a giant pain in the ass–if his emails are anything to go by. Thank God for the delicious distraction next door: the anonymous “Mr. Suit.”
My nameless neighbor is utterly gorgeous and oh-so-serious. After a racy night of passion at his place, the truth comes out. “Mr. Suit” and Flynn Lewis are one and the same. Flynn wants a woman who’s as serious as he is–someone who wants to stay in Melbourne. But I’m happiest heading off on another adventure. We might be complete opposites, but the chemistry between us is red-hot…as long as no one gets burned.

This story is fabulous from start to finish, filled with a sensual sizzle, fabulous banter between two beautiful people and a must read, Flynn and Drew are so good together they have a chemistry that heats the pages.
Drew Richardson is home in Melbourne for her twin’s wedding, she is normally flitting around the world and she has reasons for being on the move, her last boyfriend left her deciding even more that settling down for the picket fence was not for her. Helping with this wedding and dealing with the best man and her sister’s bridesmaids is not easy, then she meets her neighbour and a very sensual distraction happens Mr. Suit is hot and sexy, but will he be the man who breaks her walls down?
Flynn Lewis works hard and likes everything to be just right, he has stayed away from the opposite sex for some years now for family reasons and fitting in the plans for his cousin’s wedding is not easy especially with the maid of honour pushing his buttons via email, but when he meets his new neighbour there is a sizzle a chemistry that does not take long before him and blondie are in bed.
Honestly Flynn is a hero to die for I loved him and he is so good for Drew and Drew she is beautiful inside and out, snarky to hide her feelings but always there for everyone, these two are perfect for each other, it is a beautifully written story MS London has bought the emotions and sizzle to life on the pages and one of her best yet. This is one that I highly recommend, it hits the spot beautifully.
Drew returns home, after a big breakup, to take part in her twin sisters wedding. She is a self-proclaimed black sheep in her family and has chosen to stay away from home and travel the world instead. Having a one-way ticket booked for the day after the wedding helps her to get through all the fuss. Working with the best man is not something she thought would cause her the greatest issues though.
Flynn has a million things on his mind and dealing with an annoying maid of honor and planning some stupid wedding party, is not what he needs to be focused on right now. Finding a cure for his niece is what really matters, not the theme of a party.
Staying at her friends apartment for the next few weeks while in town, adds to her ability to stay detached. Heading home late one night she finds herself stuck in the stairwell of the building with no one in sight. Then she sees a very sexy man come to her rescue and life just got more interesting. Finding out they are neighbors just ups the steam level.
Flynn hasn’t had any interest in the dating scene since his niece was diagnosed. His sexy neighbor however has him rethinking that self-imposed rule. Keeping it very loose between them, he doesn’t even learn her real name. They find themselves getting closer despite their self imposed rules and walls. After a time they find they are way closer than either wanted to be. Flynn finds himself wanted to have a future with her and looks for a way to make that happen.
Then the maid of honor meets the best man, and all bets are off.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy without expectations, all opinions expressed are my own. I am a fan of Ms London and this latest steamy entry is not lacking in any areas I love. If you are new to Ms London, you can’t go wrong with any title off her backlist.
So much steamy goodness!! With the second book in her Close Quarters series, Stefanie London has knocked it out of the park with THE FLING! The characters are divine, the chemistry is explosive and the drama keeps us coming back for more. I adored this story!
Drew is attention grabbing from the first page. She’s bound and determined to give her sister the wedding activities of her dreams … even if she has to put up with clueless bridesmaids, annoying in-laws-to-be and temptation knocking at her door.
Flynn is a dream. He’s so devoted to his family and finding answers to their dilemmas that he doesn’t take enough time to enjoy life … but the second Drew bangs her way into his realm, he sees the light!
I highly recommend this story to anyone who loves a steamy romance with tons of heart and drama mixed in. I’m enjoying this series so much!
I absolutely loved it! It’s fun and sexy story. I was hooked from the beginning. I loved the connection, the banter and steamy sparks. You will love the characters. It’s an entertaining read and not to be missed.
Drew and Flynn’s love story in The Fling by Stefanie London, book 2 in the Close Quarters series, was a hot, sexy, emotional and enjoyable tale. Drew Richardson was dealing with a full plate when she came back home for maid-of-honor duties for her twin sister and things weren’t getting any better. She swore off romance after her ex broke her heart. Her sister’s bridesmaids want everything planned so it’s capital P Perfect. The best man, Flynn Lewis, is a royal pain in the butt, based on his emails. Then there’s the amazing, handsome, and delicious distraction living next door who she was sharing a few sexy nights of passion with; a man she nicknamed “Mr. Suit.” Then the truth comes out, “Mr. Suit” and Flynn Lewis are one and the same person. The problem is Flynn wants a woman who’s as serious as he, who’s in it for the long haul, who wants to stay in Melbourne; not a nomad like Drew. Despite being opposites, the chemistry between Drew and Flynn could light up Melbourne and their magnetism complement each other; being that Drew brought fun into Flynn’s life, something he’d been missing. Now, Drew needs to decide whether or not to take a chance on staying in Melbourne, Flynn, love and forever.
Ms. London wrote a fun, hot, and sexy, romance that should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with emotions, sexual chemistry, humor, wonderful dialogue, and endearing characters giving Drew and Flynn a chance to at love, and forever. I highly recommend The Fling to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
Sometimes the perfect person for you is who you least expected it to be…
Drew Richardson was trying very hard to be enthusiastic about going home to be her sister’s Maid of Honor. Her twin sister was the stable, sensible one and Drew was the “fly by the seat of her pants” sister. Drew had just broken up with a man that she thought was going to be her HEA. No such luck. The only bright spot in this whole scenario was her sexy as sin neighbor. Drew is a free spirit where he is an uptight man who did not believe in coloring outside the lines.
Flynn Lewis is definitely Drew’s opposite, but where they shined was when they were together in the sheets. Drew and Flynn have erected many walls around their hearts. They have both been hurt and therefore have secure barriers in place. I believe these two put up their walls not to keep people out, but to see who cared enough to knock them down. I loved the pokes and prodding between them. They are so alike but they can’t see it.
This story was sexy and funny but also very emotional as they both struggle to come to terms about their true feelings.
Boldly sexy, yet emotionally satisfying.
The Fling delivers on all fronts with a boldly sexy story between two people who couldn’t be more opposite. The exploding chemistry and playful, suggestive banter will draw you to Drew and Flynn as if you were a moth and they were the flame.
While initially drawn in by the sexy surface layers, it was the complex characters and their love of family and ability to see passed each other’s fears that kept me turning page after page. Flynn’s dedication to his brother and niece will have you swooning over this stuffed suit. But he’s not alone. Drew, while appearing to be flitty, carefree and wild at first showed that she was hiding depth and insecurities that many will connect with. Her desire to give her sister the perfect wedding party was very touching especially when it felt like her twin didn’t even know her.
If you’re looking for a hot red that has emotional depth, then this is the book for you.
There’s no doubt that Drew & Flynn have chemistry, but can they turn it into something more?
A “relationship” that starts as a strangers, one-night stand turns into so much more when they realize they are both part of the same bridal party.
When the day of the wedding arrives, circumstances beyond their control make both Drew & Flynn reevaluate what is really important in life and realize that anything worth having is worth taking a risk for.
I always enjoy Ms. London’s books.
