GR's Summary:

** Recommended for ages 17+ due to sexual situations, language and mature subject matter **

Ashton Garrison walked away from a privileged life in order to hide from the one thing she's not willing to face. She knows she left behind a trail of pain, but in the long run, her betrayal will hurt less than the truth. She now has one goal: Live life to the fullest with no regrets and no attachments. She has high hopes that a move to new surroundings will provide the escape she desires, but what Ashton doesn't count on is how fate always seems to find a way to screw up any good plan. Sometimes, when love comes knocking, the pull is too strong not to answer. Suddenly, what she thought she wanted to escape from is what Ashton now wants more than anything.

Nathan Lockton has one mission: find his target and complete the task he was hired to do—no attachments and no emotion necessary. He's done it over and over again. What he thought was a typical lost-and-found job has turned into a life examining moment as Nathan is forced to deal with something he has always ignored--his feelings. Now faced with a decision, Nathan must choose to either follow his heart or complete the job.

Love can come when you least expect it. The question is: If the odds are stacked against you, how far are you willing to go for the one you love?

Lindy's Thoughts:

No Attachments by Tiffany King, was a beautiful, and poignant love story, that will always stay with me. Ashton comes from a wealthy background, has lived her whole life in Florida, and is on the run. She decided to relocate to a quaint little town, where everyone know's each other, and are like a tight-knit family. While in this town, nobody know's of Ashton's background or reasons for being there, other than her employer/friend Fran, and her two new best friends, Tressa, and Brittni. While there, Ashton has concocted a checklist of fears, experiences, and adventures that she wants to conquer. Nathan, is a private investigator, who was hired to locate Ashton, and then turn over her whereabouts. He doesn't care who hired him or why. He just wants to get paid. Nathan is a serious sort of guy, that doesn't do attachments, and uses sex strictly as a means to an end. One night when Ashton, and her friends go to a bar, they locate the gorgeous, and sexy Nathan having a drink. Tressa and Brittni, push Ashton to complete one of the tasks on her list by picking up on Nathan, and have a one night stand with him. Nathan is at the bar, keeping an eye on Ashton, but doesn't know what it is about her, that has him fascinated, and attracted to her. From this point on, things get really interesting, and No Attachments develops into a fabulous story with characters you will fall in love with, a story, that will make your heart break, and a clear message, that will have you thinking about this book, long after you have finished it.

I fell in love with Ashton, and Nathan. The chemistry between the two of them was palpable, and there were so many hot, and swoon-worthy scenes between these two! There was never a dull moment when Ashton, and Nathan were together! They had the best of both friendship, and passion. Ashton had a carefree vibe about her, and her fun, easy going nature really helped to break down Nathan's walls. He loved her laughter, and strong spirit. She was pretty forthright, and didn't feel the need to put on appearances. I loved her down-to-earth personality. Nathan was strong, protective, loving, loyal, and passionate where Ashton was concerned. I loved all of the romantic, and detail-oriented dates Nathan Planned for Ashton. I also loved how a basic date between these two was always filled with so many laughs, awkward and spontaneous moments, flirting, and primal desire! No Attachments unfolded in such a way where, I was in a constant state of suspense, and wanted to know what would happen next, without the story ending. This story was so fast-paced, and before I knew it I had finished.

I give, "No Attachments," by Tiffany King 5 longing, Anticipating, Loving, and Attached Stars! This story had a lot of depth, touched my heart, and made me cry like a baby. For "No Attachments" to evoke such strong emotions within me, is a sign of how much I connected to both the character's and the plot. If you enjoy a bittersweet, touching, authentic, and realistic love story, then you will love, "No Attachments!" This is a story that I will always remember, and cherish. "No Attachments" was beautifully written, and I highly recommend it! I am excited to have discovered a new amazing author, and look forward to reading more of her books! Read this book now! Trust me, when I say this is a story that you will cherish, and want for your library!!!

My Favorite Quotes:

"It was like a fairytale. What girl didn't dream about a candle filled evening with a man who made your pulse race and your heart skip a beat? The problem was I shouldn't want any of it. More accurately, I shouldn't be allowed to want it." (EARC, 94)

"She was equally beautiful in her sleep and by far the most engaging woman I had ever been with, making all others pale in comparison. Her quick wit and honest on most issues pulled me in, making me want to learn everything about her." (EARC, 111)

"I wanted to be with him, to confide in him. I wanted to tear up our imaginary no-attachments contract. But most of all, I didn't want to leave him." (EARC, 141)
