summary from Goodreads
Owen may be a bit of a country mouse, but he’s loving his vacation in London. After a long day playing tourist, he’s on the hunt for some cheap beer and a good burger. Instead he finds a man hunting him, an arrogant prick with only one thing on the brain: the kind of meat that doesn’t come on a bun.
Eighty-hour weeks at a trading desk don’t leave Malcolm Kavanagh much time for meaningful relationships. Besides, in his world, everything’s a competition—even sex. When his newest one-night-sub fails to show, Malcolm sets his sights on the pretty young Yank on the bar stool beside him.
Owen’s all for an adventure with a native, but he’s not the pushover Malcolm thinks he is, and Malcolm’s not as shallow as he tries to be. They both soon learn that nothing's too intimate to share with a stranger, and the strangest things happen when two people share the most important pieces of their hearts.
Marq's thoughts:
When I started reading Country Mouse, I didn't think I would like it. Malcolm didn't come off as a likable character and I felt that Owen deserved more (even though Malcolm was supposed to be nothing but a one-night stand).
Country Mouse turned out to be a sweet and romantic love story. What a surprise! Owen's sweetness was no match for serious and stoic Malcolm. I loved how Owen effortlessly got under Malcolm's skin and broke down the barriers with ease. And Malcolm turned out to be more likable than I had anticipated.
I thoroughly enjoyed Country Mouse. I had a smile on my face from start to finish. It was romantic, sweet and sexy. I highly recommend.
