Stroke of Love

4 Stars!!!!!
Kate Parello runs a
volunteer program in Belize for Artists for International Aid, where she deals
with self-centered artists who use the program as a means to repair their
marred reputations. She loves the country, the people, and what AIA stands for,
but too many diva volunteers have turned her off to press-seeking celebrities
altogether and left her questioning the value of the volunteer program. When
she meets incredibly handsome and charming Sage, he stirs emotions she hasn’t
felt for ages, even though he represents the things she despises.
Laid-back artist Sage
Remington escapes his wealthy lifestyle in the Big Apple for a two-week journey
of self-discovery to figure out how a guy who has so much can feel so empty.
When he meets ultra-organized Kate, who lives her life the way he's always dreamed
of living his, the attraction is too hot to ignore, but Sage is there to figure
out what’s missing in his life, not to find a woman.
Every look, and every
late-night chat in the romantic jungle brings them closer together, but Sage
can barely think past stripping away Kate’s misconceptions about him. Kate
fights him every step of the way—even though she finds it hard to ignore the
strikingly handsome, generous-to-a-fault artist who wants to do nothing more
than right the wrongs of the world—and love her to the ends of the earth.
My Thoughts…
“Only with you. Forever with you.”
I am really starting to love
this series. I thought that this book was better than the first. In this book
we meet Sage Remington. We had met him a few times in the previous book but
this story is his. We also meet Kate. Their relationship was pretty fun to read
about.
Kate Parello
Kate is a volunteer that
works with celebrities in Punta Palacia. She has become pretty jaded when it
comes to celebrities. She never gets volunteers that actually want to
volunteer. She gets the celebrities that are only there to boost their
reputations. Until she meets Sage Remington. He isn’t like the others and she
has no idea how to handle it.
I loved Kate’s character. She
was determined to help as many people as she could wherever she could. Her
character was caring, loveable, and forgiving, unless you are a celebrity. It
was pretty funny how she was determined to lump Sage into the celebrity category
no matter how much her gut was telling her he was different. She was actually
kind of mean about it. She didn’t even give him a chance and when she did she
still questioned his actions for a while. It was entertaining watching her
fight it. It was even more enjoyable to see her succumb to the person Sage was
and all of his charm.
Sage Remington
Sage always knew that what
his life was wasn’t something he was happy with. He needed something more and
giving money to charities wasn’t cutting it. He decided to volunteer with a
non-profit that works with celebrities. He realizes that he is the only celebrity
there for the right reasons. Sage sets eyes on Kate and can immediately feel
the spark. He just doesn’t know how to make her change her mind about him.
Sage was just perfect. He
was caring and generous. He loved working with the kids, he was just swoon-worthy
all around. He did have his flaws. He would retreat to his “art creating” world
and forget everything around him. If that is his biggest flaw I think it can be
worked around. I liked that he could feel the pull with Kate but he was not
going to bend over backwards to show her he was different. He was going to be
himself and let her change his mind. He was a different kind of leading man. He
wasn’t overly aggressive and demanding. He was really chill…and hot.
"Jesus, I want to carry you to that bed and
make love to you right now. This second. But damn it, Kate. I want you to know
what kind of person I am, before we come together. I can't be close to you
knowing that you think I'm someone I'm not."
Their
romance was sweet and dreamy. It was a story that was touching and romantic.
Reading it, you had no choice but to fall in love with them more and more with
every page. Their romance was pure and unshakable. These two were amazing
together.
"Kate, you're everything I could ever want.
You're strong, and smart and generous and you're sweet, and delicious. There's
no better feeling in the world than what I feel when I'm with you,"
This
book was fantastic. I really enjoyed reading the whole thing. The location of
the book was really interesting. It was exotic and not something that you would
really expect since The Remingtons live in New York. The story was engaging and
kept you interested. I read it in like a day. I can’t wait for the next one. I
hope that we get to see more of both of these couples. Dex and Ellie and Sage
and Kate.
“It didn’t matter if she knew what they were doing
the next day, the next month, or the next year, as long as they were together.”
