The Something about Her
by Rachel Higginson
The Opposites Attract Series Book 4
BLURB
I
quit life. Or at least my new job.
My new, fancy, head chef position at one of the most acclaimed restaurants in
the city is not turning out like I’d hoped. I’m a mess. Totally out of my
element and underqualified, I’ve been thrown into a fiery kitchen and I’m not
sure I can handle the heat.
On top of that, my personal life is falling apart. And to make matters worse,
my best friend's brother keeps popping up at all my worst moments to save the
day.
I’ve never claimed to have it together, but I certainly don’t need a man to
rescue me every time I get my heel stuck in a sewer grate. Except that’s what
keeps happening.
Vann Delane is pushy and stuck up and thinks he knows everything there is to
know about everything. And for whatever reason, he keeps saving me.
Not that he’s happy about it. He’s made it clear what he thinks about my money
and dream job and the designer shoes he saved last weekend. He’s not impressed
with me and my penchant for disaster.
I’ve decided to stay away from him. I’ve got too many other fires to put out to
worry about the something between us that doesn’t have a name.
So, he can give his knight in shining armor kindness to someone else. And he
can save those intense glances and butterfly-inducing smiles for the nice girl
he’s looking for. And he can deny it all he wants, but I know he likes me.
He says I drive him crazy. But I know there’s something about me that he can’t
deny.

Here we are... finally; we get
Dillon and Vann’s story. This story was very much needed. Dillon is at this
pivotal point in her life. She’s feeling lost. However lost she may be feeling,
she does have a passion. She has a dream. Her brother gives her an opportunity
she’s only dreamt of and a much needed chance. Now Vann, he’s Dillon’s
opposite... it is in the Opposite Attract series. Vann is... well, Vann is
difficult. He’s a total health nut and keeps her on her toes. They were a
really fun and dynamic together.
I really enjoyed Vann and Dillon’s. They were steamy and
sweet. There was a bit of drama but we are talking about a love story here.
Rachel Higginson gave us a perfect ending to such a fun series. The cover on
The Something About Her made me have to read this story. It’s a lighter, fun
read. I think my favorite thing that Rachel did here is by making Dillon a real
woman with flaws and insecurities.
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I
would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive
or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

EXCERPT:
“We hooked up,”
I explained, my shoulder lifting in that weak shrug again. “The end.”
His expression
shuttered, a hard, impenetrable wall slamming over his eyes, tightening his jaw
and locking his lips in place. After he’d stared at me so long and hard, I
started to fidget, he shrugged too. “The end.”
Relief drilled
through me, opening up entire springs of hope that this conversation was also
coming to a close. I loosed a small smile. “Right. You get it. The end.”
His jaw ticked.
My relief dried up with my sense of safety. He looked like a shiny new bullet,
waiting in the chamber for the trigger to be pulled.
I shivered
again, that same climax-filled memory pinging through my head. I was nervous.
But I was also turned on.
He took a step
forward, his lips twisting in a sideways smile. Only it wasn’t a pleasant
smile. It was the equivalent of the safety being clicked off that gun. “Let me
get this straight…” Another step forward. “We had a little too much to drink
last night and hooked up.”
I bobbed my
head back and forth. “I would say we had a little more than a little too much.
My judgment was definitely impaired.” I tried to laugh again, but the sound hit
the atmosphere like dust being sprinkled on the ground.
Taking another
step forward, he nodded again. “What you’re saying is we made a reckless
decision last night.”
“Reckless.
That’s a good word for it.” My butt bumped against the counter. I’d started to
retreat, but he wasn’t picking up the stay-away-from-me vibes.
Maybe because
they were mixed up with the take-me-now ones?
He moved
forward. “And because we didn’t use our most… sober thinking, we’ve now reached
The End of whatever was between us.”
I tried
laughing again, but it got me nowhere. “Isn’t that what you’re saying?”
He was in front
of me now, close and warm and smelling like heaven. His hands landed on either
side of my waist. The smooth silk of his tuxedo brushed over my bare arms,
sending shivers and tingles abuzz inside me.
“No,” he
admitted openly—although that emotionless mask was still in place. “That is not
at all what I’m saying.”
I couldn’t
breathe. I couldn’t swallow. I was totally paralyzed by his words and what they
could mean. Did he want to do it again? Sober this time? Drunk again? Did he
just want a hookup? Did he want to run away together?
What the hell did
any of this mean?
Instead of
asking any of those questions, I managed a weak, strained, barely audible,
“Oh.”
He nodded as if
he expected that kind of response from me. “Yeah, oh.” He stood straight,
putting inches between us, making me instantly cold. He turned and when he was
at the door to the bathroom, he added, “There’s something about you, Baptiste.”
His gray eyes turned silvery with heat, pinning me in place and stealing
whatever response I was trying to spit out. “I don’t know what it is yet, but
it’s enough that I know this isn’t The End. This is just the beginning.”
About Rachel Higginson
I
was born and raised in Nebraska, but spent my college years traveling
the world. I fell in love with Eastern Europe, Paris, Indian Food and
the beautiful beaches of Sri Lanka. But I came back home to marry my
high school sweetheart and now I spend my days raising our growing
family. In those few spare moments I have, I am either reading or
writing Young Adult Fiction, because I am obsessed with it.
