Book Excerpt:
"A woman ready to give up on love meets her match in a man she never expected to fall for in this heartwarming and steamy new romantic comedy by USA Today bestselling author Nicola Marsh.
For almost a decade, successful 37-year-old Samira Broderick has used her bustling LA practice as an excuse to avoid a trip home to Australia. She still resents her meddling Indian mother for arranging her marriage to a man who didn't stick around when the going got tough, but now with a new job Down Under, she's finally ready to reconnect with her. And while she's there, a hot international fling might be just what she needs to get out of her recent funk.
Aussie stuntman, Rory Radcliffe, has been hiding his stutter for years by avoiding speaking roles. When a job he can't refuse comes up as a reality show host, he knows he'll need help for the audition: a dialect coach. But he finds himself at a loss for words when he discovers it's the same sexy woman with whom he just had a mind-blowing one-night stand...
Samira can think of many reasons why Rory is completely wrong for her: he's ten years her junior, for one, and he's not Indian--something Samira's mother would never approve of. Even if things were to get serious, there's no reason to tell her mother...is there?"

Review:
"The Boy Toy" by Nicola Marsh
My Speculation:
What a delightful and enjoyable read "The Boy Toy" was that featured Samira and Rory. It was interesting how this author presented these two together with Rory being 10 years younger than Samira. Rory was Australian, with Samira being a biracial Indian-Australian. Now just saying that lets you know this will be some romance story [a cougar love story]. Be ready for a little bit of it all from 'steamy sex, drama, strong female, Aussie stuntman, angst, humor, Indian culture, foods, death, infertility, emotional, divorce to romance.' The heroine really stood out where we find her strong, and knowing what she wanted for her now, and she was back in her hometown of Melbourne, where she was divorced and back home after spending five years of living in L.A. In contrast, we find Rory had been raised by a strict father where they didn't connect well that put a strain on his life, especially since he had grown up without a Mom and had a problem with stuttering. We find that Samira and Rory both processed in that they both shared in their loss and struggled to find their happiness. What a read that turns out to be quite intriguing as we find these two meet up randomly in a bar where sparks will fly. If you are a fan of romance, I would definitely recommend "The Boy Toy" to you as a good read.
