Goodreads
A full-length, standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Archer's Voice.
Grace Hamilton was the girl with a plan. She knew exactly where her life was going and prided herself on always achieving her goals. It was who she was, and how she lived her life. She never stepped outside the lines, and never considered what she might desire and whom she was actually trying so hard to please. Until him . . .
Carson Stinger was a man who didn't play by any rules except his own. Working in the adult entertainment industry, he didn't care what others thought, and took each day as it came, no direction, no plan. He knew what women wanted from him and believed it was all he had to offer. Until her . . .
When circumstances forced them to spend several hours together, they walked away changed. But for two people who never should have meshed, overcoming the reality of their vastly different lives wasn't possible. At least not yet . . .
THIS IS A STANDALONE SIGN OF LOVE NOVEL, INSPIRED BY SCORPIO. New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
I knew I was going to read Stinger as soon as I saw it was set in Las Vegas. I love reading books set there because it was where I got married! But, I also love Mia Sheridan and this book sounded awesome. Again, somehow I missed it when it was originally published.
Grace is your quintessential “good girl” type. She is studying to be a lawyer and she has always stayed on track. Carson is a porn star. Grace looks down on him because of this, but eventually, they get to know each other better and Carson finds out Grace has only had 1 sexual partner. Their story spans several years, so there is a lot of longing and such that really pulls at you emotionally. As much as I expected to not like Carson that much (I’m so over the manwhore/virgin thing), Sheridan does a wonderful job of creating well rounded characters. But, this is a small part of the story. I was 100% not prepared for where this story goes. It was beautiful and wholly unexpected. It was all the feels that Archer’s Voice gave me and I wasn’t expecting that from a story about a porn star and a lawyer.
Mia Sheridan has a way of writing that you simply can’t walk away from. She hooks you and surprises you and delights every time. I hope that you will give Stinger a try because it is really beautiful!
