Some fires warm you up. And some burn you down.
Kevin McNicholl may be a brutal force on the rugby field, but off the field, the star New Zealand All Black is a famously nice guy. His new tenant, though, arouses more than his protective side. She sets him on fire. Pity he’s evicting her.
Every woman deserves her dreams. Chloe Donaldson can’t afford dreams, though, so she's given them up. Marriage, her ballet career, and now, her beautiful tower apartment with its view of the sea. Her new landlord is kicking her out, along with her three-year-old son, Zavy.
She should hate him. But when a man looks at you like that, it’s so easy to lose your focus.
NOTE This STAND-ALONE romance, like New Zealand, contains a bit of steam. If that isn't your cuppa, maybe visit another country . . . er, book.
Just Say Yes Escape to New Zealand Book 10 eBook Rosalind James
Any time I pick up one of Rosalind James' Escape To New Zealand books ( and now there are 10) I try to set aside enough time to read it all in one setting. That's just how good they are. Just Say Yes is no exception, in fact I think it rates up there as another one of her best. Ms. James grabs your interest in the first pages as you meet Chloe Donaldson, a retired ballerina, at the wedding of friends Josie and Hugh ( from Just Not Mine) and then we segue into the realities of Chloe's current life, which include a rambunctious 3 year old Zavy, an absent father, and her imminent eviction from her tower apartment by the sea. The new owner is Kevin McNichol, an All Black with a build to match, dark red hair, and all man. Oh, and did I mention he is HOT? He searches out Chloe at the school of ballet she owns and, in spite of his missteps, the attraction between them is simmering. Ms. James' attention to detail is as thourough and descriptive as always. Her scenes of Chloe dancing are so realistic and breathtaking (the beach scene) and give the reader images that flow. Chloe is such an in depth person; as a mother first, a lover, a daughter, and even as a mediator between Kevin's twin sisters. And Kevin's persona goes far beyond the male jock image (did I mention he's hot?), he is truly a gift as we see in his thoughts, his actions, and especially his intuitiveness with Chloe and Zavy. His relationship with Zavy is priceless. Just Say Yes is an absolute treasure from start to finish and I still want more!!! As I have said in previous reviews of her Escape To New Zealand series, if you start with this book, I guarantee you will HAVE to read the other 9. Rosalind got me so involved in her characters and New Zealand that I even had to make a trip there! Reader beware. 5 stars Rosalind!!!Product details

Just Say Yes Escape to New Zealand Book 10 eBook Rosalind James Reviews
Just Say Yes is an awesome edition to one of my all-time favorite long-running Rugby Romance series, Escape to New Zealand. We've been waiting for Kevin's story for a long time and it was definitely worth the wait. Even though it's part of the series, it's easily a stand alone story. Kevin is a swoony, steady, sexy as heck kind of guy. He's also a family guy, helping out his siblings by buying a large house on the shore so his twin sisters can live there while going to University. Unfortunately, the upstairs flat is intended for his brother and his wife and baby, so the current tenant has to go. The tenant is Chloe, former ballerina turned dance studio-owning mum with a 3 year son, who is adorable. Rosalind writes great kids. Kevin and Chloe have met before since she's best friends the Josie (Just Not Mine-book 6) who is married to Kevin's teammate Hugh. This is their story. Chloe has been screwed over by her son's father and has sacrificed her career and Kevin shows her that she can be a good mum and lover and have her dreams as well. Lots of Rosalind's heroes are good guys that need to grow up, but Kevin is just good from the start and is patient with Chloe as he earns her trust. Just a really feel-good story. The ex is an ass and he gets his - which is always satisfying.
This is a wonderful addition to the long running series. The characters are likable and situations realistic and relatable (if you are committed enough to be a elite ballerina and rugby player of course) for all persons who try to balance family and work and still have time to fulfill their dreams and needs. The main theme for this book is family, large or small, just starting to grow or finding the courage to take a chance to see what can happen. I liked the fact that Ms. James has shown the challenges of being a single parent as well as the responsibilities of being the member of a larger family group. I liked Kevin, Chloe and Zavey and was rooting for them all the way. As an added bonus characters that appeared in previous books are woven through the story so the reader who has been following the series get to see what has been happening with them. This book was lots of fun and I stayed up much later than I should have to see how it ended. I recommend this book it's worth your time.
With Just Say Yes, Rosalind James has once again improved upon the previous book in her Escape to New Zealand series. I was sucked into the world of rugby romance via Bookbub or recommendation of Just this Once in 2014, and I have never looked back, reading everything she writes on its release day. Living just a few miles from the powerful New England coastline, I am a sucker for the beauty of New Zealand, with its lush greens and blue waters. I love the feel of a slower pace in En Zed, with family being a priority. I really do feel transported to the location in each of her books.
Just Say Yes is Kevin and Chloe's (and Zavy's) book. Chloe is a single mom who was a prima ballerina, and who is now teaching ballet and doing her best to raise her young son yet not lose her identity along the way. Kevin is an All Black rugby player who is the caregiver of his family, moving a bunch of his siblings into the home he's just purchased. Unfortunately for her, Chloe is renting the extra apartment that he needs for his brother's young family. I wasn't enthralled by the fact that the lead female was a ballerina, but I had to get over that fast because Chloe is just terrific. Physically strong, mentally tough, independent but not abrasive. I find her character's actions and decisions to be quite believable, and her reactions to everything life is throwing her way are on point- be it in the words she chooses NOT to speak, or those she does. Her angst in dealing with her parents and ex-fiance are real. Kevin is a caregiver, and no matter what Chloe throws his way in response to his actions, he holds on with kindness and calm, waiting for the moment she will realize they are simply meant to be a family. I will say that his calm does not extend to the rugby field, nor to moments where he feels as if justice needs a bit of a boost. A huge shoutout to the character of Zavy, who is written as an actual three-year-old. Not a verbal prodigy, not acting like an infant or a 7 year-old, but a truly believable 3 year-old character. Excellent job on Zavy, and it really makes the book. I quite enjoyed the characters of Kevin's twin sisters. They got very annoying at times, but that was exactly the point. Just Say Yes is a nicely long book, a great follow up to the others and an easily enjoyed stand-alone read that likely will have you reaching for others by James.
Rosalind James consistently gives us strong men, yet stronger women. The mothers, sisters, wives and girlfriends- all strong. Perfect? Nah, that's for fiction. These people are far from perfect, but they ARE believable. Couples struggle, family members fight, single moms seem to abound and boy do these rugby hotties get beaten up by the game. They are sexy beyond belief, yet I'm not sure just how handsome they are. Their sexy comes from within and from a whole bunch of Maori tattoos, which beats a pretty face any day.
James', slogan "Real Women. Real Men. Real Romance." Here is where you need to stop, and return to selecting a different romance book if you are looking for wholesome, old-fashioned (clean/pure/asexual/1950's TV series) romance. This. Isn't. It. The story lines in the Escape to NZ series are all rather comforting, and involve healthy relationships between families and partners. However... The biggest kudos go to Rosalind James for writing the way real men and women speak, especially during sex. Here goes, deep breath Men do not speak of their "throbbing manhood" (good Lord, I HOPE not!), nor does any woman who is not reading poorly-written romance. On that same note, I doubt we will ever find a real-life woman who chooses to be "laved". That sounds like a mamma cat bathing her kittens. What James provides is damn good sex scenes, written so you can understand it without feeling dirty, confused or as if you've come from an Anatomy and Phys class. Somehow she manages to avoid cliches and euphemisms for actions and body parts, yet you never have a doubt what is going on. Ever. (On a side note, Diana Gabaldon writes outstanding sex scenes for her enormous Outlander novels. She's even written about it in a single called "I Give You My Body . . ." How I Write Sex Scenes.) Writing about sex without simply describing the physical act is truly an art, and one which Rosalind James gets done quite well herself.
I can't give higher praise than to say these books make me feel as if I'm there, a fly on the wall or an eavesdropper to the scenes. I believe they are that well written. And for that reason, I will never recommend these to my mom.
Any time I pick up one of Rosalind James' Escape To New Zealand books ( and now there are 10) I try to set aside enough time to read it all in one setting. That's just how good they are. Just Say Yes is no exception, in fact I think it rates up there as another one of her best.
