I
was happy in my small town. In my life as a single, thirty-two year
old woman. I had a good job, wonderful friends, my independence.
I
also hadn't got laid in three years. Hadn't been on a date in two.
Had stopped counting calories and wearing makeup... a while ago.
Then
Brett Jacobs waltzed in. Caressed my thigh, dug rough fingers into my
hair, lowered his soft mouth to my skin, took sexual control of my
mind and stirred it all around with what he packed in his pants. He
flipped my quiet life upside down and crawled into a place in my
heart I thought was dead.
The
issue is his secret.
The
issue is her.
The
issue is that I don't even know she exists, and he thinks she's dead.
The
issue is that shit is about to hit the fan and I can't hold on to him
tight enough.
The
word ‘tight’ has twenty-two definitions, but my favorite is
Webster’s fifth - 'a bond which cannot be broken'.
Be
prepared for the unexpected because Tight is a book that falls into
this category. All I knew before I began reading was this was
inspired by Still, the erotic novella published as part of the banned
anthology Bend (which I bought, read and enjoyed) If you read Still,
you'll recognise some of the scenes from
it. However TIGHT is so much more...
Thirty-two
year old Riley is part of the bachelorette party in Nassau, thanks to
the upcoming nuptials of her friend Chelsea (and her wealthy father
who paid for it). The casino they are partying in, is a world away
from where she feels comfortable. She's happy being single, living a
quiet life in a small town, working as a FA. She's blissfully
unaware that she's already made an impression on someone she's yet to
meet.
It
wasn't difficult to witness the arrival of six blondes
on a private plane for a weekend bachelorette party. Thirty-seven
year old Brett usually avoided such women, looking for a one-night
stand before flying off back to where they came from. When enigmatic
Brett Jacobs spots the only one who piqued his interest in the
casino, he heads in her direction – she looks in pain and he's
going to do the right thing and help, only help?
The
beginning of the relationship is like a fairytale - Handsome, rich
guy sweeps heroine off her feet. The chemistry between Riley and
Brett is instant, yet both are guarded. Brett awakens feelings and
desires in Riley that she didn't know existed and Brett has finally
found a woman he can hope to re-build a future with? They are
deep-down looking for the same thing, but there are too many
obstacles in the way – cultural, geographical? Somehow they
overcome their initial inhibitions and begin a long distance
relationship.
What
happens next is shocking, frightening and unfortunately very very
real.
The
author has written a thought provoking, gritty dark emotional story,
incorporating an extremely heavy-weight topic. The events that occur
are interwoven with the main plot of the story, drip-feeding us
information without giving away the character's identity. There is
sexual & suspenseful intensity, raw emotions and a overwhelming
feeling of hope and love, with an under-current of sinister. The
protagonists are multi-faceted – we're never in doubt of their
current emotional state, enabling us to empathise
with their emotions. All of that combined creates a story that will
stay with you a long time...
