{Book Review} Show Me Something (Something #5) by Aubrey Bondurant (@AubreyBondurant)

The light of the future can only be found by stepping out of the darkness of the past...

After leaving her marriage, Juliette Walker wants to accomplish many new things, but meeting a new man certainly isn't part of her plan. 

Plagued with struggles over her past, she seeks the advice of a professional. But after unloading her most intimate thoughts to the handsome stranger with dark hair and glasses at a friend's party, she discovers he isn't the man she thinks he is.

Although Juliette comes into Mark Hine's life like an unexpected tornado, he finds himself intrigued by the bundle of energy who spills her secrets in a drunken barrage. 
Despite swearing off dating permanently since the tragic death of his fiancée, he keeps finding excuses to spend time with the single mom who makes him laugh and brings him out of his shell.

In the aftermath of Juliette's most humiliating experience to date, she's convinced Mark has permanently friend-zoned her, until the moment it becomes shockingly clear she couldn't be more wrong. 

But will demons of the past threaten to derail the opportunity for love? Or can two damaged hearts overcome their painful histories to find a future of happiness together?

**Full Length Standalone book with no cliffhanger. 
Fifth book of the “Something Series”.
Recommended for mature readers due to situations of language, and sexual content.**

​Juliette Walker just needed a fresh start.  She came to Connecticut to get away from the nightmare that was her marriage and to focus on her young son and her job with Gamble Advertising.
​
She’s not mush for self-confidence, but agrees to attend a company party and after a few martinis she manages to tell her entire life story to one of the hottest men that she’s ever seen.
 
It’s a case of mistaken identity, but it’s also the beginning of something so unexpected.

​“Before I say more, you’re bound by a privilege thingy, right?” Would I be able to spill my deep, dark stuff to such a handsome stranger? God, he kind of looked like Clark Kent. Nerdy hot.
 
“Well, yes, but you’d have to become a client first. Do you need help with something?”
 
Uh-huh, like an orgasm.

​Mark Hines has been an attorney for Gamble Enterprises since graduating with Brian from Harvard.  He’s disorganized, unbelievably hot and Juliette’s next-door neighbor. 
 
He finds himself falling for both the beautiful girl with no filter and her little boy.  But he’s been living in the past and has no idea how to tell her that he wants to be her future.

​His hands found their way under my sweatshirt and were quickly unfastening my bra. “What if we turned on a light this time?”  
 
I shook my head. “I’m just— I’m not ready. Although if you want to take off your shirt here, I wouldn’t mind seeing you in the light.”
 
He leaned back, a smirk on his face. “Tell you what. How about if you show me something, then I’ll show you something? I’ll take off my shirt, and you take off yours.”
 
I contemplated. “How about your shirt for my pants?” At least my sweatshirt would cover my stomach and chest until we were in the dark.
 
“I’ll agree, for now. But you’re going to have to give it up sometime. You’re too beautiful to keep hiding.”

​Show Me Something is yet another hit from Aubrey Bondurant!  Her one of a kind unique writing style will have you laughing out loud one moment and then shattering your heart in the next.
 
But it’s her heroines that always keep us coming back time and time again.  They’re incredibly real and hold a hidden strength that outshines all the others.  It’s bittersweet to see the Something series end, but I can’t wait to see what Aubrey can dream up next…
