Between You and Me

There are some interesting aspects in this book, I liked the characters and the descriptions of the different settings (New Orleans, Seattle, New York), but overall it didn’t work for me. Still, the things I find negative are certainly catchy for other readers.
The beginning was exciting – a wounded hero and his generous mission of making functional artificial limbs available to everyone who needs them. The research about this subject and the instant attraction were enjoyable to read in this first part of the book.
Afterwards, the excessive use of telling, the lack of conflict and mystery – the main characters’ “chemistry and spiritual connection” were established right in the beginning - , the prevalence of sex scenes (whereas I really prefer slow-burn romances with plenty of sexual tension, yet, not necessarily with descriptive erotica), or the emphasis on the heroine’s beauty and its impact on the hero really made the story drag a little.
I’m not that fond either of the type of wording the author uses (“He made love to her with a ferocity… Part of her understood his animal need to possess her…”) or the writing style, too descriptive and explanatory for my taste.
The parts about the main characters managing their long distance relationship, the interactions between them and their friends/heroine’s family didn’t really grab my interest.

Between You and Me is a sweet, sexy, wonderfully substantive romance. Dr. Finnegan Kane (Finn) needs funding for his innovative prosthetic limb invention. When he approaches Emanuela Monroe, VC extraordinaire, he was so sure he'd make a mess of things. But, they made a connection, and she saw depth in his idea. So when his proposal crossed her desk months later, it was fate's way of putting the two together. Now it's just up to them to make it work. But, how can they when he's in Seattle and she's on the opposite coast?

How? Well, this is the modern age, so Skype for one, and determination, and the flexibility in both their schedules. I found Between You and Me a refreshing read. It's not so out of the box - insta lust for one, is tried and true. Older man (10 years in their case), opposites and attract, etc. But, the fact that Finn is an amputee is different. And, the fact that it didn't overwhelm or take center stage in their story, is refreshing. Then there's also the fact that she's apparently black, or at least biracial (I couldn't quite figure out if she was biracial or not), and Finn is white. All refreshing and not the norm. But, what is really refreshing about Between You and Me are Finn and Emmi. They're both great characters. He with his smart and sexy but nerdy scientist vibe, no alpha male here, not that I don't love me some alphas, because I do. But it's just refreshing to read a romance without one for once. And Emanuela is pretty great. She's successful, smart, independent, definitely not a doormat or a virgin either. Just a normal woman who's good at her job. I can't say I liked the fact that she just honestly couldn't see how much her boss was into her, but aside from that I really liked her.

Generally speaking, Between You and Me is a great read. It's sweet, it's sexy, it's got heart, it's a little out of the norm, and the secondary cast is as great as its leads. 1 click today!

This gentle but intense story details the relationship between Scientist Dr Finnegan Kane and investor Emanuela Monroe. They were both struck by an intense reaction on first meeting that made a lasting impression on them despite not meeting again for months. Emanuela is impressed by Finn’s inventions and commits to funding his venture. We follow their long distance relationship and watch them get to know each other. I loved the intensity and the detail of their connection and the fact there wasn’t any high drama.

I loved the plot in the preview of this book, it sounded very promising & to be a great read.  I was very disappointed, the main characters were pretty much "perfect."  The descriptions of scenes in this book were very good, but by the end I had no idea what the purpose was for this story, except the "perfect" couple gets together.

I just loved this book it was a really sweet sexy romance, really well written with wonderful characters that you cannot help but like I would recommend this book to all.You feel the attraction between Finn and Emanuela from the moment they meet each other if these two don't make you believe in true love nothing will a super read I cannot believe this is Lynns first book cannot wait for more
