Missing Kindle Edition

Sex would never be enough...

Nathan Livingston has more in his life than he can handle--a high-powered job in D.C. politics, a sixteen-year-old daughter he's raising alone, and another daughter who ran away from him, whom he hasn't seen in two years.

He doesn't have anything left to invest in a real relationship. A night of hot sex with Lynn every three months is as much as he'll allow himself, and it doesn't matter that it never feels like enough.

Lynn shouldn't be involved with someone as high-profile as Nathan, since it could negatively affect her successful web magazine, but she just can't resist their nights together.

Then his complicated personal life catches up to their no-strings-attached affair, and they both find out everything they're missing.

A really great author has one more time created a beautiful story around an unusual situation full of frustration, blocked emotions, love, and fear of change. This author never ceases to challenge with different story lines and great pacing.
Lynn, an editor for an online newspaper, renews her acquaintance with Nathan for whom she interned. They develop an interesting friends with benefits relationship. As the story progresses so does their relationship. It grows deeper in meaning and need as life progresses. He too is divorced and his oldest daughter has run away from home leaving him with no clue as to her safety or whereabouts. So many emotions are finally bared related to love and control, as well as the importance of letting go.
A must read book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Finding all the missing pieces

Nathan is a high powered businessman in the political world, a former presidential candidate with all the baggage that entails. He's divorced, estranged from one daughter who ran away and has an uneven relationship with the other. For the past two years he's been trying to track down the missing one, while maintaining the public facade that she's away at school in Europe. He has no time for a relationship. But since his daughter disappeared, he's been having an affair with a former intern. Lynn is well satisfied with her current life, writing for a political pundit magazine that she runs with her ex-husband with whom she still has an amicable relationship. When she worked for Nathan he was married and she was young and there was no impropriety between them. But meeting several years later the sparks between led to their arrangement to meet every three months for some sexual release. But after two years, they both decide they want something more frequent - not a commitment per se, but the opportunity to spend more time together. They start meeting every month, and then, as they start to confide other parts of their lives to each other, even more frequently. At the same time, Nathan discovers through his private investigator that his missing daughter is still living close by. In a surprising twist of fate, Lynn and Nathan find themselves with more in common than they expected and the ties between them grow deeper. But can they make the leap to a committed relationship?

I really enjoyed this story! Nathan comes across as a man who deeply regrets his failure to connect with his daughters while they were growing up. His focus on work took all his time and energy and now he's paying the price. But he's changing, spending time with his daughter who still lives with him and trying hard to find the one that left. He is definitely an empathetic character, a man who made mistakes but has learned from them. And in the bedroom? Well, he's definitely a very satisfying lover. The scenes with him and Lynn are very steamy and they are definitely compatible. It's not surprising that after two years they want to increase the frequency of their meetings. Neither has met someone else in the interim, and though they shy away from anything resembling a real relationship, in fact that's where things are leading. Lynn and Nathan start to confide more of their personal lives with each other and this cements their bond. Lynn is a friendly, self made woman. She's happy with her life as it is, though definitely not averse to spending more time with Nathan. Once they are seeing each other routinely it's easy to picture coming out in public - which scares Lynn as her career is in contrast to Nathan's and she fears that her political magazine won't be taken seriously if they are together. The plot has a few twists and turns as the search for Nathan's missing daughter intensifies. and I really liked how everything eventually fell into place and Nathan and Lynn were able to admit to each other their feelings. It's got just the right mix of drama and romance. 4 stars.

Holy heck!!! This is one intense, steamy read!

Nathan and Lynn have had an arrangement for almost two years. Things are always hot and heavy between them and they both agree that they would really like to be able to indulge in one another more frequently. Soon they are seeing each other at a moment’s notice. Watching this couple move from such a restrictive relationship into one that allowed their personal fears and concerns to be revealed felt real and had me falling in love with both of them along the way.

Lynn was pure magic. She had a way about her that had everyone chilling and accepting her as the woman in Nathan’s life. I loved that she never got worked up over things even when the circumstances put everything at risk.

Nathan was pretty beat up by life. Although he was working hard on getting better, even that journey was leaving its mark on him. It was beautiful to see him slowly transform due to Lynn’s presence in his life. Having his point of view was exquisite. We were allowed to see and feel all of his pain, his joy, his dreams, and his fears. Having a moment to see his jealousy was just the icing on that particular cake.

This book starts out fast and hot. The steam level is unlike any I’ve read by this author in quite some time. Both Nathan and Lynn respond to issues like adults which can sometimes be hard to find in romance. The secondary characters were amazing. I loved them as well as the early little twist we are given regarding one of the hero’s daughters.

Definitely recommending this one!

Pretty predictable plot, but still enjoyable. Nice that this time there were no crazy misunderstandings or immature fights/breakups but thoughtful, and respectful discussions/dialogues.

I almost put this book down, but it got better. The story is good. There is too much explicit sex for my taste. The author missed an opportunity to develop the story and relied too much on describing the sexual relationship between the primary characters.
Four stars is really being generous. I cannot see myself following this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sweet read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 25, 2016

This is the first time that i have read a book where the characters are already sleeping with each other, although every three months.

What starts off as just almost friends with benefits, but they do not contact each other in-between, moves after two years to something a little more, that turns into even more.

There is lots of feeling packed into this book and you really see the relationship and the feelings turning towards more even if its not always smooth.

Nathan may look like a polished perfect individual, but he is far from calm in his private life where he feels like a duck out of water. It is only Lynn that gives him the peace that he needs and the help to be a little less controlling and a little more secure.

A sweet book that seemed to be over way too fast.

Nathan and Lynn are adults with their own agenda and a relationship is not on the plate for them.
Nathan is busy with his career and dealing with his teenage daughter and a missing 19-year old daugther who disapear out of the blue.
Lynn is divorce, busy as hell and not a romantic. They meet, start to see each other each of every 3 months and gradually the relationship is formed.
The great thing about this book is that it is an adult relationship and is very very sexy. They have real problems and deal with it with much love and understanding. Highly recommend!

Hach, wenn nur alle Geschichten so schön wären! Diese hier war perfekt. Ich mußte sogar eine Träne verdrücken.
Nathan, Anfang 40, geschieden, Anzugträger und eine wichtige politische Persönlichkeit, kann sich keinen schlechten Ruf leisten. Neben seinem vollgepackten Terminplan hat er Probleme seine beiden rebellierenden Teenagertöchter im Zaum zu halten.
Als sich die Möglichkeit einer diskreten No-Strings-Attached-Beziehung mit einer attraktiven Blondine bietet, kann er nicht 'nein' sagen. Sie verbringen ab und zu ein paar leidenschaftliche Stunden (Achtung: sehr heiß!) miteinander um danach wieder getrennte Wege zu gehen. Nur warum fiebern beide ihren Treffen immer so sehr entgegen? So kommt es, dass die Abstände zwischen den Schäferstündchen kürzer werden. Es bleibt nicht aus, dass die aufrecht erhaltene Fassade irgendwann zu bröckeln beginnt. Und dabei spielen die Töchter eine spannende Rolle.
Weil die Familie so gekonnt mit eingewoben ist, hebt sich dieser Liebesroman von anderen positiv ab. Die Hürden, die es zu überwinden gilt, sind gar nicht albern, wie es oft in diesem Genre üblich ist. Ich werde es bestimmt noch einmal lesen, dafür gibt es 5 tolle Sterne!
