Book Review: Cushion


Cushion
by Tamela Miles

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE:   Paranormal Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Natalie Kliebert finally has the perfect life she spent years dreaming of. She's on the fast track to her fantasy-come-true career as a therapist. If she can help pop star Billy Chambers, it will be her greatest achievement and even sweeter than earning an "A" grade.

The last thing Billy Chambers wants is anyone's help, especially when he doesn't see a single thing wrong with his life. When bossy Natalie becomes his court-appointed personal therapist, sparks fly from day one. Annoyance was never so arousing. Hooking up should be easy, but an undercurrent of evil is coming for Natalie, which may force her to reveal her deepest secret.

The problems of their pasts are no match for today's demons. Natalie and Billy must come together and be the allies they were meant to be in a supernatural fight that may cost them their lives.

EXCERPT:

Natalie shook her head slowly. “I don’t think so. You recognize you have a problem, and that’s a great start for our work together, but your mistake lies in thinking you can, and should, conquer this on your own. If you think I’m wrong, prove it to me.”  

He gave her an assessing look. “Prove it? How?”

She placed her hands on her hips, tilting her head slightly. “Empty your pockets.”

Billy had a sinking feeling and closed his eyes for a moment. “What? Why?” Her expression never changed, and he knew she had him beat. For the moment, anyway. He slowly reached into his shorts pocket, pulling out his wallet and cell phone.

She showed him no mercy, as he had fully expected. “Now, the other pocket, please.”

He reached into his other pocket and slowly pulled out a silver flask full of vodka that he kept on him most of the day. Before he could say a word in his defense, she snatched the small, silver container and emptied the liquor onto the sand.

“Hey! What the hell—”

Natalie turned and handed the flask back to him. “You won’t be needing that while we’re working together, and if I do my job, you won’t need it after. This has to be a collaboration between the two of us, and keeping you from drinking is the first step to making sure you’re totally on board.”


My Review:

What if you were an overweight young woman, and the guy who had your heart called you cushion? Heartbreaking, isn't it? But what if you had a second chance at life? A do over. Would you also have a second chance with him?

That's what happens to Natalie Kliebert. In this paranormal romance she has a second chance at life as a therapist, and it's her job to help Billy Chambers beat alcoholism. He doesn't remember her, but at the same time he's very drawn to her.

The only problem with this scenario is that when Natalie got her second chance, a demon started to stalk her. Together she and Billy will work to defeat defeat the monster and save both their lives and future.

If you like paranormal romance you should like this book. I'd give it four stars.
