Done.
Finished.
Kaput.
Whatever you want to call it, the bride-to-be won’t be at the church on time.
Walking away from her fiancé was the hardest thing Ava has ever done. After all, the sexy and charming Mateo is everything she's ever wanted—and more. But she needs to protect herself—and her heart—before it’s shattered once and for all.
Mateo has no choice but to let her go. His woman needs space, and he loves her enough to give it to her—no matter how much he hates it. The only thing keeping him sane is the certainty that their separation will be short-lived.
Ava thinks it’s over, but she’s about to find out that Mateo will stop at nothing to turn her “I Don’t” into an “I Do.”
ARC received for an honest review
I am late to the Ella Fox train, but I Don't was a great way to pop my Fox cherry.
I didn't know what to expect when I started reading, but Ava and Mateo's story, but I was pleasantly surprised, and read this book in one evening.
Mateo is seemingly all brusque and alpha and kind of a douche when we first meet him, but as the story progressed he really was kind of swoonworthy.
There is something from Ava's past that is stopping her from moving forward with her sexy Spaniard, and I am not going to lie, for a while there I thought I had come in halfway through the story. I did even double check that this was the first book in the series for a while there.
But this could just be me, and as the story continued it all made sense (I was probably just too impatient!)
There is a bit of intrigue playing out through the story, which is told in the past and present. I enjoyed seeing our lovelies in the past, as it gave great insight into the people they are today.
I laughed, I got frustrated, I smiled so hard as I read I Don't, and couldn't help but become Mateo's biggest cheerleader.
Now to see where Ms Fox takes us with the next books in this series.
EXCERPT
“It's Mr. Gretchen isn't it?”
“Um, no,” Ben answered, “This is most definitely not Mr. Gretchen.”
“Okayyy,” I drawled. “You’re acting weird, so I have to assume it’s someone unusual. Is it the President? George Clooney? Oh, wait. I know. It’s Channing Tatum. If I’ve told him once, I’ve told him a dozen times not to call me at work—"
“Not even close. This man—he says he’s your fiancé.”
My heart stopped beating for several seconds. When it started up again, I assured myself I was asleep. Yep, that had to be it. I was having a nightmare. With my free hand, I pinched my thigh, wincing at the twinge of pain. Dammit, I was awake.
No, no, no, I chanted inwardly as I started to panic. I was nowhere near ready to deal with him. Surely he wouldn’t have tracked me down at work. With me gone, he should be living the bachelor life to the fullest, so busy dealing with his social calendar that thinking of me was impossible. I prayed that there was some kind of mistake or that whoever was on the phone wasn’t him. Maybe it was someone calling for another Ava. That could happen, right?
“His voice,” I whispered. “Does he sound—”
“Spanish?” Ben supplied. “Yeah.”
I’d been about to ask if he sounded like a stubborn son-of-a-bitch, but Spanish told me what I needed to know.
