Jen's Reviews > Beneath This Mask

This was the first book in this series written by Meghan March. This is also my first time reading anything from this author, and I'm officially hooked! I did have a bit of trouble getting into the story right at the beginning; but once I became engrossed in the characters--I was hooked. I fell in love with Simon, who is a hero that is such a sweetheart; but he is no push over. I often can't stand a hero that is wishy washy; but Simon isn't that. He is a teddy bear, but he has that alpha male trait that us women love so much! Simon comes from a family that is into politics and of course, his father expects him to follow in his political footsteps and become just like him. Unfortunately, Simon is very indecisive when it comes to his future...up until he comes across a mysterious, sexy lady who he must get to know.
Charlie is our heroine and is on the run from her old life in New York. She holds many secrets, and no one in New Orlean's knows even her real name. She has begun a new life and has acquired a job in a tattoo parlor, where she lays pretty low. She has very few friends, and needs to live under the radar. When Simon and her cross paths, their lives will never be the same again. Will the secrets eventually catch up with Charlie...If Simon finds out who she truly is and what she is running from; will he still want anything to do with her?? Who is Charlie "Beneath her Mask?"

Not only is this a romantic read with some hot sex thrown in; but there is a bit of a mystery interwoven into the story line as well. I found this read to be very enjoyable, and I fell in love wi th Simon. It has been awhile since I have felt any kind of warm fuzzies when it came to the heroes that I read about; but Simon fixed my drought and he will be forever etched in my mind. I can't wait for the next installment of this series, and I highly recommend this read for anyone looking for a sweet enjoyable read, with a little bit of angst; but not over kill. It really was a great story and there are secondary characters that are introduced who we will be seeing in future books!! I can't wait to continue, and Meghan March has earned a new fan!!!
