YORK TIMES & USA TODAY Bestselling Author Tina Folsom presents: One Long
Embrace (Eternal Bachelors Club #5)
Tara Pierpont has had it with her interfering parents who want her to find a rich guy to marry just like her older sister did. She’s ready to rebel against them, and a chance for her rebellion appears in the form of a handsome waiter at an exclusive Hampton’s party.
When Jay Bohannon attends the anniversary party of his friend’s parents and is mistaken for a waiter, he wants to immediately clear up the misunderstanding. But then Tara opens up to him and confesses that she’s sick of entitled rich guys and just wants to have fun with somebody who wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
The thing is: Jay is anything but poor or ordinary. He’s exactly the kind of guy Tara is trying to avoid.

Musings
I have been a fan of Tina Folsom since I read Samson’s
Lovely Mortal years ago, the first novel in her fabulous Scanguard
series. I recently decided to read/listen to her Eternal Bachelors Club
series, and I am so glad I did. I have enjoyed the first four books immensely. I
could not wait to read/listen to Jay and Tara’s story, and I loved One
Long Embrace.
Tara and Jay meet at an anniversary party for a
close friend’s parents. Tara inadvertently think Jay is a waiter when she snags
a drink from the tray he is holding. Attraction slams into both of them
instantly. While normally shy and reserved, Tara has had it with her
controlling parents and decides to take a walk on the wild side. She
propositions Jay and he accepts, knowing she believes he is a waiter.
Jay Bohannon has recently ended a relationship with
a woman he found out was only after his name and money. He finds Tara’s
proposal tempting and decides to play along. He takes her to his boat, but
tells her his friend lets him live on it while he helps remodel the guy’s
house. Of course the house is his as well.
Can a romance that starts out on deceit survive when
the truth comes out, or will Tara shun him for being a liar, and worst of all
the kind of man she does not want to have in her life?
Jay is a fantastic character. I loved the lengths he
goes to, to perpetuate his charade, especially getting the “rust bucket.” He is
truly a lovable character and drop-dead good looking as well. His care and
support of Tara pulled at my heart.
Tara is determined to make it on her own without her
interfering parents ordering her life. While she is well old enough to stand up
for herself, her manipulative parents thwart her at every turn, keeping her
trapped in a lifestyle she does not want. I did question why a twenty-five year
old woman let her parents do this, but as the story unfolds, it begins to make
perfect sense.
As always, Eric G. Dove brings Ms. Folsom’s
characters to life. He does an awesome job distinguishing the male and female
characters, giving each of them their own unique voice. His narration is
passionately performed and enhances my listening pleasure tremendously.
Although the story line is predictable and some plot
lines seem implausible, I loved this story. Tina has a way of getting me to
accept the unbelievable. I just love her writing style, and of course her hotter
than fire sexual scenes. If you are looking for a book that will entertain and
delight your fancy, then One Long Embrace will do that very
well indeed. Happy reading!
