Her Other Lover

by T.K. Holt

Rayna needs to focus on finding herself after suffering a recent breakup. She turns to reading and working to clear her mind. Unexpectedly, she meets a man who catches her eye, but she runs for the hills, afraid of lust on the rebound. They reconnect via the internet and become distant friends, keeping their true feelings for each other locked inside their computers. When she discovers the man she craves isn't available, she fades to the background.

Still pining for the man in the distance, another comes into her life and sweeps her off her feet. She never thought she'd find love again, especially so soon, but he's everything she thinks she wants. The ultimate test comes when Rayna finds herself in dire need of support and compassion, only to find herself abandoned to fend for herself. Will her true love finally arrive at the eleventh hour to take her by the hand? To love and care for her the way she deserves?

TK Holt’s Her Other Lover is a romantic story of friendship, family, and love. Just about any reader can put themselves into Rayna’s shoes and many of us have certainly fantasized about her experiences. Imagine walking into a book convention and not only meeting your favorite author, but sharing some steamy eye contact with the cover model. Yes, it’s the stuff fantasies are made of and for Rayna, she expects it will stay just that. Steffon is the hot cover model, dragged to the convention by the author despite his hatred of such events. He’s everything every woman would want: tall, dark, handsome, and completely loyal to his girlfriend even with a hotel full of women more than willing to do anything to get into his bed. I loved the fact that Holt showed Steffon as sexy, but not cocky and didn’t make him a playboy, yet showed that he was still human since he did give Rayna his facebook account information. Her Other Lover showed the progression of their friendship from strangers to lovers in a refreshingly realistic way. No one jumped into bed and had wild sex within the first hour and the challenges they faced in their lives were very “normal” in comparison to many romance novels.

TK Holt is a very well-rounded author who has easily jumped from the paranormal genre with her book, Thirst, to the contemporary romance arena with Her Other Lover. Her writing style gives the reader characters that are easy to relate to and Her Other Lover was a perfect example of that. I think Her Other Lover will appeal to anyone who likes a HEA romance that doesn’t drag you through an emotional rollercoaster to get to the happy part. If I had to pick anything negative to say, I wish there would’ve been more details about how Rayna and Steffon ended up. Even with that, I give Her Other Lover a 4-star rating because I put down the book at the end and actually said “Ah, how sweet!”.

Her other lover is a wonderful read. TK takes the time to develop the two main characters individually. You will wait with breathless anticipation to see if Steffon is going to get the girl. Like any good book, you won't have an answer until the end.

At first I wasn't sure about this book. by the second chapter I was hooked and really got into the story.

First off I have to say Rayna, our leading lady, did much better at her first Author meet and greet than I did. LOL If you ever get a chance to go to a book conference, DO IT, and take Rayna’s advice and go for the whole conference not just the book signing. There is nothing better than meeting the Authors of the great books we read and love!

This book is tagged as an erotic romance but it read more like a contemporary romance to me. It doesn’t really matter though because “Her Other Lover” is still a very satisfying read. T.K. Holt gives us a short story that has been put together very well. Our main characters Rayna and Steffon as well as the secondary characters will have you laughing, shaking your head, crying and turning up the A/C.

We all have our book boyfriend or girlfriend that fires our dreams but to meet the cover model that portrays them on our books makes them just a little more real. When Rayna meets Steffon the cover model for her new favorite book he is everything a book boyfriend should be. That is if he lived next door and was single but this is real life not one of the books she reads. Or is it?

Steffon isn’t the only new man in Rayna’s life and Elijah, or as his friends call him Eli, has the potential to be more than a friend. Eli is tall, dark and sexy! He also can do something a book boyfriend can’t, He can not only warm the sheets but he is there when you need him, right?

You are going to enjoy this story. You may even start looking at that one friend that makes you think, if only, a little differently. After all timing is everything *wink*
