Cynthia
Wynne writes a disenchanted email to her favorite monthly magazine,
telling them how bored she is in Barcelona. When the owner of the
magazine shows the email to Rafael de Córdoba, world-famous writer
of serious fiction, he becomes incensed.
When
Cynthia and Rafael meet, the instant flare-up of interest is quickly
doused when he realizes that she is the woman who wrote disparagingly
of Barcelona, which he loves and where his parents live.
Later,
he softens his stance, and their interest in each other deepens, but
when she tells him she is pregnant with his child, he is upset and
incensed. He had an infectious illness as a boy, and as a result was
pronounced infertile.
Cynthia
points out that she has never lied to him, and insists that the child
she carries is his.
How
can Rafael equate his trust in Cynthia with the doctor’s prognosis
of long ago? Will his head rule, or his heart?
This
was such a fun read, Bored In Barcelona by Kate Hofman has it all.
Lots of action, two people that belong together, even though they
don't know it yet, romance that sizzles, a serious issue that could
tear them apart.
Ms.
Hofman takes the reader back to the charming city of Ocean Breeze, FL
and all the colorful characters. Tom is now running a magazine, East
Florida Monthly and is trying to decide what kind of special column
he wants to add. When his friend, Rafael de Cordoba visits the art
gallery, the two men put their thinking caps on and come up with an
advice column, Ask Aunt Grace.
Cynthia
has saved for a long time to vacation in Barcelona. Unfortunately,
when she gets there, she's very disappointed in the trip. So she
decides to write a letter to Ask Aunt Grace. Rafael gets very upset
when a letter bashes his homeland. I love how Ms. Hofman introduces
Cynthia and Rafael. There are instant sparks until Rafael learns that
Cynthia is the one who wrote the letter about Barcelona. But Rafael
needs to keep his cool, he doesn't want it known he's Aunt Grace. I
thought this concept of a man writing an advice column as a woman was
just too funny. And she had great fun with it in the book. The
chemistry between Cynthia and Rafael sizzles off the pages and makes
for a great read.
Rafael
is a very interesting character, he's a serious writer, confident,
handsome, strong, and he loves women. I think it would be very
intriguing to meet Rafael.
Cynthia
used to be a ballerina until an injury stopped her dancing career, so
she started her own ballet school. She's very responsible, confident,
strong minded, and thoughtful. When Cynthia gets pregnant, it causes
a lot of turmoil because Rafael has been told he's infertile. He's
more inclined to believe an old Doctor than Cynthia. How will the two
handle this crucial situation?
