No Attachments by Tiffany KingMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A clever romantic-mystery:
Ashton is on the run. Hiding from her father – for reasons that are revealed later in the story – she settles in a quiet little town and engrosses herself into a quiet uneventful life. The only thing that’s a priority for her is to tick off each item on her Bucket List.
The first question posed early on is…why does a young, attractive girl carry a Bucket List? This question followed by why is she hiding, and from whom.
Although she has a small close-knit circle of friends, and an employer she’s especially fond of, her inability to trust people is soon to be pushed to the test when she meets Nathan. At first this good-looking guy is just a challenge, an item off her list to be checked – one night of unbridled passion with a stranger. But things don’t go exactly to plan and the story develops with an attraction growing stronger between the two that was never meant to happen, for either of them.
Meeting Nathan is not the coincidence Ashton assumes. Nathan is on an assignment. And the secret behind the assignment could blow their developing relationship out of the proverbial water.
This mystery/romance is littered with guessing, wondering, and an unveiling of lies and secrets. It’s also haunted by a terrible sadness as the reason for Ashton’s lifestyle is gradually revealed.
As with other Tiffany King books I’ve read, you can expect to be guessing the whole way through. But unlike other books, this one has a more adult theme, in that sexual content is involved, yet handled with care. There are a host of contemporary romances out there – many of which I’ve checked out – and like the best of them this one has all the elements: mystery, secrets, truths gradually unveiled in just the right time-frame, and a certain amount of gentle cynicism. A recommended read.
