Her Best Worst Mistake (Elizabeth and Violet)
Then the gloves come off and so do their clothes!
For six years Violet Sutcliffe has known that Martin St Clair is the wrong man for her best friend. He's stuffy, old before his time, conservative. He drives Violet nuts - and the feeling is entirely mutual. Then, out of nowhere, her friend walks out just weeks before her wedding to Martin, flying to Australia on a mission of self-discovery. Back in London, Violet finds herself feeling sorry for suddenly-single Martin. At least, she tells herself it's pity she feels. Then he comes calling one dark, stormy night and they discover that beneath their mutual dislike there lies a fiery sexual chemistry.
It's crazy and all-consuming - and utterly wrong. Because not only are they chalk and cheese, oil and water, but Martin once belonged to her best friend. A friend Violet is terrified of losing. What future can there be for a relationship with so many strikes against it?
This book is a spin off from Sarah Mayberry's Blaze novel, Hot Island Nights. Both stories can be read in isolation and still make perfect sense.

My Review...
I just happened to come across this book and had no real expectations for it but I was pleasantly surprised with it.
I liked Violet right from the start and thought her loathe for Martin was quite comical even though I was pretty sure it was because she liked him. I am never a big fan of someone getting together with their best friend's boyfriend but in this book you were so happy that Martin and Violet got together because they truly brought the best out of one another.
I loved that pre-Violet Martin was so staunchy and square and then with Violet he finds himself and becomes more of a real person or as Pinocchio would say "a real boy". It was great how Martin becomes Violet's protector and family.
