From the Inside Flap

Startled, I twitched, and turned my body to his voice. There he was, all six feet of him, peering down on me with that smile that could make me do just about anything. Though there was nothing to laugh about, especially seeing this hottie in front of me, I couldn't help but giggle from his words.
He wore beige casual pants and a black sweater that fit perfectly to the tone of his body. His hair was brushed to the side, showing his nice forehead. Whatever kind of cologne he had on made me want to dive right into his arms...maybe it wasn't the cologne, but just him.
"Pretty cheesy, huh?" he chuckled.
I shyly giggled as I stared down at my shoes. What's wrong with me? Answer him. "Umm...kind of," I smiled as I peered up, only to have him take my breath away again.
"Sorry. I just had to say that. You looked so lost and vulnerable. Did you need some help?"
Great! To him I was just a lost puppy...lost and vulnerable. "I actually found what I was looking for." I was staring into his eyes, melting, feeling myself sinking into him. Snap out of it!
"You certainly did," he said with a playful tone.
Arching my brows in confusion, I thought about what I'd said. From his perspective, my words had been about him.
"We meet again, for the third time."
He was counting?
"You left so abruptly at Café Express, I didn't get to ask you for your name."
"Umm...my name? Oh...my name is Jeanella Mefferd, but you can call me Jenna."
Extending his hand, he waited for me. "I'm Maxwell. But you can call me Max."
Nervously, I placed my hand in his to shake. It was strong, yet gentle...just right, and heat blazed through me from his touch.
"Are you here with someone?"
"Yes." I looked away shyly.
"Are you lost? Do you need some help?"
"Actually, I was looking for the restroom. Since I didn't know where it was I thought I'd ask the bartender, but I guess there isn't one, and I'm on my way to the restroom." I rambled nervously as I slowly pulled my hand back to point in the direction I meant to go. I had just realized we were holding hands during our short conversation. "So...I'd better go."
"I'll walk you there."
What? "Oh...no need. I'm sure I won't get lost." Feeling the heat on my face again, I turned before he could say another word, but it didn't matter what I had said. His hand was gently placed on my back, guiding me to the women's room. I turned my back to the bathroom door to thank him, but he spoke first.
"I think this is my stop," he muttered, looking straight at me. "I'm not wanted in there. What do you think?" He arched his brows, and his tone held a note of challenge.
Huh? He wants to go in with me? I gasped silently, as I was still lost in his eyes. "I think the women in there will throw themselves at you." I couldn't believe I'd said those words. I couldn't take it back. What was I doing, flirting with him?
He seemed to like what he heard. His arms reached out, his muscles flexing as he placed one on each side of me on the wall. With nowhere to go, I was trapped inside the bubble of his arms. He leaned down toward the left side of my face and brushed my hair with his cheek. "You smell...delicious," he whispered. His hot breath shot tingles to places I hadn't expected them. Out of nervousness and habit, my left index finger flew inside my mouth. Max gave a crooked, naughty grin and slowly took my hand out of my mouth. "Did you know that biting one's finger is an indication one is sexually deprived?" His words came out slowly, playfully, but hot. "I can fix that for you, if you'd like." He did not just say that to me! I parted my lips for a good comeback, but I couldn't find one. Feeling my chest rise and fall quickly, I tried to control the heated desire. Sure, he'd helped me once, but that didn't mean we were friends, or flirting buddies, or that I would allow him to fix my sexual deprivation. Oh God...can guys tell if you haven't done it in a very long time? This had to stop or else...oh dear...I wanted to take him with me into the restroom.
Needing to put a stop to the heat, I placed my hand on his chest... big mistake. Touching him made the heat worse, and tingles that were already intensifying burst through every inch of me. I had to push him away.
As if he knew what I meant to do, he pulled back, but his eyes did the talking instead. There was no need for words; I felt his hard stare on my body, as if he was undressing me with his gorgeous eyes. His gaze was powerful, as if his eyes were hands; I felt them all over me, completely unraveling me.
Just when I thought I was going to faint, his eyes shifted to mine again. "It was really nice to meet you, Jenna. I'm sure we'll see each other again, real soon. I better let you go. Your someone must be waiting for you. By the way...." There was a pause as he charmed me with his eyes again. "You...took my breath away. If I were your someone, I wouldn't let you out of my sight for even a second, because someone like me will surely try to whisk you away." He winked and left.

Something Great is book 1 of a series by M. Clarke. It is a quick and easy read and has humor and romance together. The humor is more hidden than open. The characters are well written and the plot has enough twists to make it interesting.
Jenna (Jeanette Mefferd) has spent the last three years getting over the heartbreak of finding her roommate and her boyfriend having relations and that it had been going on for a while. She not only broke up with him but moved out. Luckily Becky was looking for a roommate and the two of them clicked. Today they were still roommates, although out of college and working in the “real” world. Jenna and Becky had Nicole and Kate for good friends and the four of them met regularly for drinks and talks. If any of the four had a crisis, the other three would be there. Jenna has a job working in the clothing district but it wasn’t in fashion where her heart was. She was dating Luke, a quiet client of her company. He was nothing special but he was a good solid man. She did notice he did not pull her chair out in a restaurant, ordered for her without asking her what she wanted, walked in front of her out of the restaurant, and didn’t open the car door. These things were nice; but she decided they were just Luke. The most exciting thing in her life was applying at Knight Magazine for a fashion position. Now if she could just get that and get to go to Fashion Week in New York City, she would be happy.
The night before her interview, she and Becky were at a bar and noticed a great looking guy who seemed interested in Jenna. She was attracted to him too; but she was dating Luke. The next morning, after her interview, she stopped at a coffee shop to get coffee and something to eat. She and the man in front of her bumped and spilled coffee on her hand. The man totally blamed her and another man stepped in to rescue her. It was the man from the bar!
She did get a new job; but not the one she wanted. She was hired as Customer Relations Manager instead. It was a start. She met the people she was to work with and they invited her for lunch. She knew they would be an hour and she wanted to try to figure out her job so just ran down for a sandwich. Instead, she ended up having lunch with The man from the bar! He told her his name was Max and they talked. They had no problem talking to each other which was unusual for Jenna. However, it was back to work she went.
Eventually, she was to find out the man was Max Knight, the son of the owner of Knight Magazine. What in the world was he doing talking to her? When he wanted to date her, she realized she had to do something about Luke and see if it would interfere with her job. What was she going to do? Was Max just playing her?

Something Great tells the story of Jenna, an early 20-something who has just gotten a new job. Having been burned by a previous relationship, she is cautious, hesitant, and very closed off to finding love. Her dating habits have brought her to a mediocre pseudo dating relationship with someone she deems "ok" and "safe." Enter Max, a 27-year-old gorgeous man. His womanizing ways are legendary. Jenna starts a new job and happens to run into Max. Little does she know that Max is not just a hot guy whose advances make her feel different, Max is a very important person at her new job. What does she do? Does she go with her feelings and allow Max in or does she stand her ground and let her past dictate her relationships?

Something Great is saucy, sexy, and smart. It is new adult, with real relationships, and a smoking side of sexiness. (How's that for alliteration?)
M. Clarke (Ms. Mary Ting) has written a beautiful novel about giving yourself and giving in to what is potentially something good, something great, and something beautiful in your life. After all, if we don't surrender, how do we ever know love? Jenna's hesitations are very human, Max makes plenty of mistakes, but that makes him that much more likable. And Becky, Jenna's roommate is hilarious and supportive, just as a BFF should be. Give this new adult romance a try, it is fantastic!

An amazing start to this series

In this book we meet Max and Jenna. When this story opens up Jenna and Becky her best friend and roommate are out having drinks giving each of them a chance to catch up on what has been going on in the others busy life. It also gives them both the much needed chance to unwind. While out Becky notices Max watching Jenna and tells her so but with Jenna's past she is not willing to be a cheater and so she chalks it up to a guy checking out a girl in a bar nothing more. Jenna knows that Becky doesn't like Luke but Jenna knows he is a safe boring kind of guy that won't hurt her. At the time this is what she thinks she wants but when she starts seeing Max at different places she isn't sure anymore. Max is just the kind of guy she would normally go after but hearing rumors about him brings out all her insecurities. Jenna isn't sure what she is going to do but staying away from Max is easier said then done especially when she starts a new job and she finds out he is her bosses boss.

Max takes one look at Jenna and knows she is the one for him if only he can get her to acknowledge it. Max wants Jenna and what Max wants Max gets. He just has to find that special something that will bring her to him because once she sees what he is really like there will be no on that can get in between them. He understands that Jenna has been hurt in the past and he will do anything to hold her close and show her he isn't that man but something that will treat her like the queen she is.

This is an amazing opening to an amazing love story. This book shows us how Max and Jenna met it also introduces us to Matt and Becky which will have stories of their own soon enough. We also find out some of both of their insecurities and why they are reluctant to start something new. I would highly recommend this book it is amazing and will have you hooked from the first word to the very last.

The ideal perfect love story, if ever there was one!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2016

Great romantic story, very cheesy in a good way.
The characters are good and well thought out.
Written very well, you can tell M. Clarke is a confident and competent author.
I felt the ups and downs of the book, to me that is the sign of a truly great story!
My two minor grumbles, I would have like to hear more about how the relationship develops, there are more books in this saga, so maybe I'll find out.
Also there was a lot of tasters at the end of the book, which I found slightly annoying I had finished the book read the sneak peak about the next book, then to have tasters for three other authors books felt like too much.

Overall a great romance read, easy to read and even easier to get caught up in! A great read! Well done M. Clarke! Can't wait to read the next book in the series!

The book has its highs and lows...
Max is mysterious and you never know why and how for him, and this is great, this was what was capturing my attention. However when you realize how and why M Clarke develops the history tends to be a bit disappointing. I could think of so many reasons for Max to be charming and mysterious and the drama behind his feelings, but...
maybe next book.......

Il classico romanzo rosa

Reviewed in Italy on October 2, 2014

La trama mi aveva colpito molto, ma in effetti il libro in sè è il classico romanzo rosa dove lui è ricco sfondato, si innamora a prima vista di lei, la giovane fragile che non sa esprimere appieno le sue emozioni.

Sinceramente speravo in qualcosa di meglio, non mi ha lasciato nulla di esaltante dopo averlo letto.
