REVIEW - Skinny Dipping by Alicia M. Kaye

The Book
Release Date: 10 February 2014

Sophie drowned as a child. She died for three minutes. Her childhood trauma is real. 

Yet Sophie Smart, hot-shot advertising executive, isn't a child anymore. Now Sophie's most important client, handsome Matthew Silver, is insisting she learn how to swim. She can't blame him really - he's the owner of a chain of swimming centers, and Sophie's in charge of his new advertising campaign. 

The last thing Sophie wants to do is get in the water, in a clingy swimsuit, with a client she’s trying to impress. She's not going to win him over flapping around like an idiot, is she? 

But with a broken heart from her last relationship, maybe getting into the pool is just what Sophie needs? Maybe Sophie can trust Matthew with her fears. Maybe she can let go. Maybe it's time for Sophie to forget about her past and take the plunge?

My Review  2.5 STARS
This book has been on my kindle for a little while and although it was a nice read, it was nothing too special.

Sophie drowned and died for a few minutes as a child and has never been in the water since, even a bath is too much for her.  She currently has a client who owns a swimming pool chain along with a string of hotels, however he is not very good at responding to her emails.  Eventually she tracks him down, but when he finds out that she cannot even swim, he makes a bargain.  She learns to swim and he will be more available.

Having also just broken up with her boyfriend due to being a work-a-holic, Sophie has also had to move out, and makes a new friend in Carol.

To be honest it was just ok, but did nothing for me.  I really didn't feel the chemistry between Sophie and Matthew and the ending was just blah.  When the pair finally did get together at the end, even the moving in together seemed to happen at rapid speed.

It's an ok read a guess, but certainly not one i will revisit.
