I am sitting down to blog about this novel, a book I tore through in two days, and for the life of me I can't recall a single thing about the book. Either I am getting old, which I am, or there's little that's memorable about the text. I guess I need to skin the book and job my memory...
...ah...now I remember...
Release Me is the story of Damien Stark (well...one of the stories...this is apparently one of three stories) and Nikki, the girl with whom Damien is obsessed. Damien is a former tennis star turned scientist; Nikki is a former Texas beauty queen, turned want-to-be scientist/app designer. Damien met Nikki once when she was young; Nikki has been in love with Damien ever since. They finally stumble into each other at an art gala and the story of their intense love affair begins.
While I was told that I had to read this book because of the intense love affair, I was actually quite taken by the story line of Damien's indecent proposal for Nikki to earn a million dollars for posing nude for a painting for his new home. Her face would never be seen; only Damien, Nikki, and the artist (who had to sign a legal document declaring that he'd never reveal the model's identity) would know she did it. A million dollars would help start up Nikki's app business. What ever is a girl to do?
You will have to read to find out...I guess I am going to have to break down and read the next book at some point. Maybe when we go to Bermuda over spring break. This would be a good book to throw in my beach bag while I bask in the glow of the pink Bermudian sand. I have a queue of books to read that's piling up. So little time and so much to read.
Happy reading!
