IN STROKE OF LOVE...

Kate Paletto runs a volunteer program in Belize for Artists for International Aid, where she deals with self-centered artists who use the program as a means to repair their marred reputations. She loves the country, the people, and what AIA stands for, but too many diva volunteers have turned her off to press-seeking celebrities altogether and left her questioning the value of the volunteer program. When she meets incredibly handsome and charming Sage, he stirs emotions she hasn't felt for ages, even though he represents the things she despises.

 

Laid-back artist Sage Remington escapes his wealthy lifestyle in the Big Apple for a two-week journey of self-discovery to figure out how a guy who has so much can feel so empty. When he meets ultra-organized Kate, who lives her life the way he's always dreamed of living his, the attraction is too hot to ignore, but Sage is there to figure out what's missing in his life, not to find a woman.

 

Every look, and every late-night chat in the romantic jungle brings them closer together, but Sage can barely think past stripping away Kate's misconceptions about him. Kate fights him every step of the way--even though she finds it hard to ignore the strikingly handsome, generous-to-a-fault artist who wants to do nothing more than right the wrongs of the world--and love her to the ends of the earth.

Ratings and reviews

I was in for a treat with I got the chance to listen to the audio book of Stroke of Love. I so enjoy listening to audio books because I can do it anywhere. Melissa Foster captivated my attention with this story. B J Harrison was the narrator and he does a fabulous job narrating. Kate Paletto and Sage Remington meet when he volunteers to see what good he had do for others because he feels there is something missing in his life He is an artist and wealthy but Sage is very down to earth and has no trouble getting his hands dirty. Kate runs the volunteer program and immediately upon meeting Sage she thinks he is like the others but she has him all wrong. They are both missing something and they come to realize, they need each other. I loved their story very much.

It is the sweetest love story. He needed his life to be more fulfilling besides his everyday hum drum. And she needed some direction in her strive for humanity's donation of hope and community. They give what the other needs. This story is angst and drama filled but oh so heartfelt. I adore the Remington family.

Reading the author's works straight, I found that the plot became repetitive. The environment and stage was different, now its a hot superstar came to the backwater place for some social purpose to make his ruined image better. But the plot afterward was quite the same, fast love and fast progression in just two weeks time.
