OMFG loved this book!! So much emotion, also a lot of hot, steamy action packed into this story… Lilly and Luca heat up the pages when fate throws them together during a snow storm in Lilly’s home town of Glencoe. Determined to stay friends after their holiday romance, family loyalty, scorned exes and fate are determined to keep them apart… can Luca and Lilly find their way back to each other or will Lilly’s job take her away from Luca forever!
A brilliant extension of an already sexy and sweet novella. I read The Sexy Stranger as it’s original release, Fate’s Plan, and fell in love with Luca and Lilly then. This expansion on their story was wonderful. It’s still just as sweet and sexy and centers around them helping each other discover what it is they really want out of life. Both have been living to please those around them, playing a part. But when they meet one another they’re able to just be themselves and give each other the courage to take back control of their lives. However, their holiday bubble eventually bursts and reality seeps in making their road to happily ever after a rocky one. There is a new twist that’s thrown in courtesy of a few familiar faces from another one of JA’s series. Readers who don’t already know these characters are going to want to learn more about them after this.
The Sexy Stranger has you enamored right from the start. This extended story from the original novella Fates Plan gives us more of Luca and Lilly’s story. This book is full of witty banter, chemistry, steam, heartbreak and a surprise or two. A story that caters to every fantasy that you could have wished for. The chemistry between Luca and Lilly is so strong that it draws you into their world and doesn’t want to let go. A story with not only light but a touch of dark. A beautiful fairytale ending that is full of happiness and passion and will have you enchanted by this couple.
Absolutely amazing! From the first page I was hooked and couldn’t put this book down. Lilly left her cheating fiancé and went to Scotland to surprise her sister after being away. She gets a surprise of her own, and it’s the sexy hunk of a man Luca. I just loved Lilly and Luca together, I loved their banter, and their chemistry is passionate and intense. The added humor in the story is terrific as well. I loved everything about this book and anyone that loves a steamy romance will love this book as much as I did. It’s a definite must read and I highly recommend it.
I love this story. It’s full of sexiness, sass, love, heartbreak and suspense! Everything that’s good in a fantastic, gripping story. The plot is swoony and has enough struggle that it keeps the pages turning to find out how the characters find each other.
Lilly is a great character and made me love her the further I got into the book. She’s such a strong, moral, kind lady and I love her connection with Luka.
Luka is simply gorgeous! He’s sexy and knows how to light the fire in my knickers! That dirty talking Adonis is superb and I’d fall at his feet in an instant.
After the heartache these two have suffered… and continue to suffer at the hands of a couple of spiteful exes… I am totally in love with him and his protective ways. I love how this book links with a previous series of JA Low’s ! Very clever and exciting.
I can’t wait for you to read this and I can’t wait for more from the characters in this book.
There’s one thing sometimes i am happy about as soon as i have finished a book i forget about or i get confused when people ask and get it mixed up with another
In helps in times like these when an awesome author expands on a novella they wrote into a full story because it was like starting it all over again and i know i liked the first version but i loved this one.
This was funny, full of drama if one ex wasn’t getting in the way it was the other ex and then there was the supposed holiday fling and then there was family drama oh and then what happened towards the end of the book really took this book places and interconnected it with some of the authors other books which i loved.
I loved both Luca the Italian stallion and lily the super smart doctor on paper they didn’t seem to match but the chemistry was off the charts straight away and they both had so much baggage it was so fun to read about.
This story was everything i loved it, it was funny, steamy, and a great escape i would recommend this to anyone who likes a little bit of everything in their story.
4 Stars
The Sexy Stranger, was originally released as Fate’s Plan and is a sweet and steamy read!
Lilly and Luca have both been burned and in seeking an escape, find fate has other plans in store for them and throws them in each other’s path.
Lilly is sweet, kind, considerate, smart, and funny. She’s a bit of an overachiever, a dedicated and driven doctor. I loved the open, honest and loving relationship she shared with Lauren her younger sister.
Luca is quite the tall, dark and mysterious hero, and boy does he know how to talk dirty.
The chemistry between this pair is intense, the love scenes are both passionate, steamy and full of heat. They are both endearing and fun characters. Their banter is fun and flirtatious, with moments of humor sprinkled throughout.
The Sexy Stranger is an incredibly enjoyable and fun read, that will leave you with a smile upon your face and I look forward to reading further titles in the International Bad Boy Set.
Whoa, the sexy stranger was naked!!
Seriously, from the first chapter, author JA Low appeals to every woman’s fantasy I’m sure as her character Lilly, provides a detailed description of the perfect, erm… ‘undercarriage and wheels’ of the sexy and naked stranger who answered the door to her cottage in the Scottish Highlands! If there is one thing I enjoy while reading, it is the way in which an author can apply witticisms to their writing which really enhances the fun in an already awkward situation. Ms Low achieved this in spades, especially when he points out to Lilly that his eyes are higher than where she was staring! Straight off the bat, I knew I was going to enjoy this book!
Imagine some embarrassing scenarios in your sexual history and you’ll get the gist of Lilly’s story as she discovers a top-quality bedroom life after leaving her cheating fiancé, who was more than cheating her when it came to ‘putting out’ in some decent and satisfying way. A life of sub-par sex with a cheating spouse?? No thank you!
Luca was accustomed to a life of luxury and its’ superficial trappings and I loved that he began to realise that he was also cheated; of the real human experience of very real human imperfections, and, also what it was like to have a Scots Village treat him as family. The written atmosphere and the people were a delight to my reading senses.
There was so much to enjoy in this book, from the hot scenes through to the authentic and funny banter that we have with our families. Hells teeth! There were times where food and drink almost went flying with laughter! This is what rounds out the reading experience for me in making the characters feel more endearing.
And while this book has lots of sexual heat and humour, there’s also a depth of feeling that makes readers think about what’s important in life should they wish to. About how as adults, some people are still worried about what their parents would think. And like life, it’s not all fun and games as Ms Low kicks it a gear and changes lanes. There are certainly some challenging moments. All in all, this was a book that kept me up to the wee hours to finish it off. At 4.5 stars, it’s definitely recommended reading.
Sweet and Sexy
Lilly found out her fiancee had been cheating on her so she headed to her sister’s but is in for one heck of a surprise when she walks in. To say the least Lilly and Luca hit it off. This is a sweet, sexy Insta love book that I was glad I picked up.
Straight up I need to say I loved this story when it was first released as Fate’s Plan but now… it is even better, it is sensational!
This story centres around an awkward situation that turns into a fun and flirty one. It evolves into steamy, hot passion when they set the sheets on fire. Let me just say I would be very happy to volunteer to be snowed in with a hunk like Luca.
Lilly arrives back to her home in Scotland as a surprise for her sister after being in Africa for eighteen months. It is Lilly who gets the surprise though-a tall, dark, handsome one called Luca!
Oh boy, is this alpha Italian male hot! I think if you touched him you’d hear a sizzling noise. This author certainly knows how to create gorgeous characters and Luca and Lilly are both extremely easy to like and let’s face it, just plain yummy!
This story had that wow factor by grabbing your attention from the beginning, an amazing setting and a flirtatious environment that was enticing, Luca and Lilly’s sexual chemistry is even better!
With the added touch of humour that is sprinkled throughout the story as well, the banter between Luca and Lilly being terrific, it balanced things to create that fun atmosphere. Add to the mix some suspense with a touch of dark and it’s a wrap, one well rounded story.
Without giving anything away, the introduction of secondary characters from another series of this author’s is a fantastic touch, I loved it. Above everything else it is a truly romantic love story and believe everyone will enjoy it.
Oh, and that ending… fantastic.
