I've never read a book by this author before and I thought that this book was written fantastically. I defiantly was not disappointed and I really like the way that this author writes.
This book is the first in this Rose Gold series and I cant wait to read the next installment.

Rose Gold #1

Matthew is really one of the good guys, a really decent, loyal, genuine sexy human being and he's also extremely over protective which is always beautiful to see. He knows what he wants and he isn't afraid to g ...more

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 STARS

What a great book! After reading Scarlet Night, I was eager to read the rest of Matthew and Nina's story, and the author did not disappoint. They have such great chemistry and they both fulfill a need in the other. I can't wait for the next instalment in the Rose Gold series.

The Other Man by Nicole French is a MUST read and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ELITE!!! ...more

Another amazing read from Nicole French with a well developed storyline, smooth transitions, and a timeline that has few, if any errors. As usual, Nicole’s characters are easy to love and relate to as real, human, flawed and perfect in their own way. Although this story overlaps with the final book in The Quicksilver Trilogy it is in NO WAY a retelling of the same story. Instead, we see key events in both stories, this time from the POV of Matthew and Nina who are the main characters of The Othe Another amazing read from Nicole French with a well developed storyline, smooth transitions, and a timeline that has few, if any errors. As usual, Nicole’s characters are easy to love and relate to as real, human, flawed and perfect in their own way. Although this story overlaps with the final book in The Quicksilver Trilogy it is in NO WAY a retelling of the same story. Instead, we see key events in both stories, this time from the POV of Matthew and Nina who are the main characters of The Other Man. Up to this point both characters are prominent but minor characters in Nicole’s world. There is also a prequel to this book, The Scarlet Night, which details The main characters initial meeting. Neither is a necessary read to enjoy this book (but are enjoyable reads for sure)!

As always, Nicole’s characters come off the page and into your heart from the very beginning. They are rich characters with interesting back stories, secrets, and regrets. Matthew Zola is a sexy, hardworking lawyer with gentlemanly manners and a style from a bygone era. Don’t let the manners fool you though, this Italian is all alpha and all male. Nina Astor De Vries Gardner is as wealthy and polished as they come. Her Upper East Side life is both structured and lonely behind her “social” mask. When these two star crossed lover are tighter though the connection and chemistry is panty melting.

I enjoyed every delicious minute I spent reading this book. As I’ve come to expect from Nicole, this book is smart, well crafted, and more than just a love story. There is drama and some intrigue, some steamy scenes sure but also a plot line that allows reader to think through the details and development. On top of all of that is the angst of what seems to be an unattainable love.

This book IS part of a series and as such has some loose ends as it closes but I hesitate to say it’s a cliffhanger. A reader could walk away from this book and feel like the love story was at an acceptable point. Nicole leaves some questions unanswered but it is not an abrupt ending. I highly and without reservation recommend this book as a must read! ...more

Nicole French has me swooning with the old soul of Matthew Zola. The attraction between Nina and Matthew was fire as you could feel the heat with their body language and banter. This book will hit you in the feels as they try to navigate their feelings with obstacles keeping them apart. I look forward to the next book to see if the pair get the hea they deserve.

Didn’t Disappoint

After reading Skyler and Brandon’s story I absolutely loved reading Zola’s story. I can’t wait for the next novel to come out. I have to find out how his story continues. I really do hope in the end that he ends up with Nina, and that her husband gets absolutely everything he deserves.
