Review #27

Tall, Dark and Distant by Julie Fison

When Georgia meets Nik on her summer holiday, she’s sure he’s too good to be true. He’s gorgeous, with god-like abs and an adorable English accent. Then she discovers that he’s actually a member of an obscenely wealthy Russian family – and he wants to get to know her better.

Nik catapults Georgia into a world of private yachts, fast cars and expensive jewellery. Having a billionaire for a boyfriend certainly comes with benefits ... but it also comes with a price. How long will it take before life in the fast lane spins out of control? (from goodreads.com)

Georgia is such an easy character to connect with, first love & trying to decided what is really the right thing to do. Nik however arrogant he is, there is a story to it. You can't always change a person, but Nik, well Georgia is a good influence on him. With a rather dangerous situation, Nik leaves Georgia thinking that it is the best thing for both of them, to keep her safe, because when your last name is Morozov someone always wants something from you. 

The ending is sweet and even through everything that happened between them, the bad guy can always change. This book is swoon-worthy because of Nik & sweet because of Georgia, a great summer read when in need of a short beachy read.
