The
Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of Beautiful Mine
I had to say that Whitney was strong woman that knew her potential and made strides to grow with each new experience. Whitney seemed to mature and develop as the read progressed. She also seemed to be more aware of who she was and the direction she wanted to head in.
Connor had his moments. I wanted to take him to the side and just have a serious talk with him. While he was with Whitney he was s different man. He was more.
The two together had chemistry. Their passion ignited was like blazing heat to set the world aflame. But then it was time to part ways. Whitney went her way and then Connor wanted to be free, so he went on his way to continue travelling. He needed to grow up and wise. He did not have it all together but as the story moved on. There were glimpses of him becoming the man he needed to be.
Things here felt real. They felt like thought went in to each exchanged between Connor and Whitney. I could feel the distance between them but when they were together you knew it was right.
BLURB
When fellow Californians Whitney
Spencer and Connor Rivers meet in the most unlikely of places—on the Camino
pilgrimage in Spain—they fall head first into a brief, impassioned love affair.
But Whitney’s on her way back to her career in San Francisco, and Connor is a
world traveler whose restless spirit has yet to be captured by anyone.
Tragedy strikes and Connor is
called home to help his siblings run the family business, the Rivers Paradise
Resort. Yet the adventurer inside him hasn’t gone away; in fact, his wanderlust
is on the verge of destroying his family’s fragile stability.
After Whitney’s career brings her
to Connor’s resort, the sparks between them flare. Will her reappearance be
enough to tame him? Can their love be enough, or are they destined for another
gut-wrenching goodbye?

I’m
waiting for the elevator, wondering if I should ask the front desk for tips
about restaurants or just find a place on my own. Then the doors open to reveal
someone standing inside.
My lips part in surprise. Connor does a double take, then gives me
a slow, slow smile.
Umm…. okay. This is a whole new ballgame now.
“We meet again,” he says, still smiling. My estrogen starts
flowing at the sight of that smile and those eyes. I couldn’t stop it now if I
tried.
“Hello again,” I say as I step into the elevator. He looks—and
smells—freshly bathed as well and I have a sudden vision of him naked in a tub.
God. Between that and the fact that there’s apparently no escaping this guy, I
completely forget why I was trying to escape him to start with.
The doors slide closed with a soft thud and the little space grows
even smaller. I don’t stand too close, but I certainly would’ve stood farther
away if I’d never met him before. The car begins its downward journey and my
stomach swoops more than usual.
We start giving each other that wondering look from before. He’s
still smiling, and there’s a smile teasing the corners of my mouth too. In
spite of being freshly bathed, he didn’t shave. He still has that cute scruff
on his jaw.
“You’re staying here, too?” I ask.
He turns toward me a bit and leans one shoulder against the back
wall. Oh man. Just like when he turned toward me at the table, this little
movement makes things feel more familiar. But this time it’s just us. In this
little box. I like it. “I heard this is the best place for the weary Camino
pilgrim,” he says.
I adjust slightly so I can lean against the wall as well. I really
can’t help it. Because it seems like this is the moment we’ve been building to
all along. “That’s what the guidebooks say anyway.”
“Do they?”
“Don’t you have a guidebook?” The car already starts to slow,
dammit. I don’t want to walk away this time. I want to linger awhile.
“I’m not the guidebook type,” he answers, as we come to a stop.
“I’d rather just ask around. But I think we have more important matters to
discuss.”
The elevator dings and the doors open. Neither one of us moves. My
heart is thumping in anticipation. “Do we?”
“Yes. You’re about to go your way and I’m about to go mine, but
clearly the universe thinks we need to talk some more.”
Thump, thump, thump. Now it’s my turn to give a slow smile. “The
universe, huh?”
“Okay,” he says, grinning. “it’s me. I think we should talk more.”
