"The conflict...never lets up..."
The Twelve-Month Mistress feels like a much bigger book than it is, partly because of the way it starts out in the middle of the couple's relationship. Cassie and Joaquin have been together for eleven months, and Cassie is sure she's on her way out as soon as they hit that twelve-month mark because Joaquin's never stayed with a woman longer.
Unable to cope with her feelings on the matter, Cassie decides to end their relationship before Joaquin can do it. Cassie moves out, but Joaquin doesn't take her leaving well. After he confronts her at his brother's home (thinking she left him for his brother Ramón), he has an accident, and he can't remember their breakup. But because of doctor's orders, Cassie can't tell Joaquin the truth.
The Twelve-Month Mistress is part of The Alcolar Family trilogy.
The conflict between Cassie and Joaquin never lets up, and the characters were tortured by their emotions enough to keep me reading happily to the end. The Twelve-Month Mistress was a sensual, emotionally driven, fast-paced read.

Joaquin Alcolar has a rule—never to keep a mistress for more than twelve months! Cassie knows that her time is nearly up, and to save her pride—and her heart—she decides to jump before she's pushed!
