“Were you really a nurse?” I found myself asking as I took a sip of the scotch I ordered.
“I was registered and trained to make it look convincing on paper, but no,” she confessed. “There were other spies that I worked with at the hospital, so it made it easy to take root there.”
I had uncovered many spies throughout the years, and as she said, most of them were doctors, nurses, and even the mortician at the hospital. It was no wonder it was easy for her to fake her own death.
“Well, regardless, you were a huge help today,” I told her, lifting my glass to clink hers. “So, thank you.”
She smiled at the compliment, the rim of her glass clinking against mine as she took a sip. Her eyes followed my every moment as I took a sip, the scotch making my insides warmer than they’d been before.
I cleared my throat and set the glass down.
“Once one of my gammas gets back to me, we’ll get out of here,” I told her.
She gave me a sly smile as she sipped her drink.
“Or we could always get a hotel for the night and just stay here,” she teased, nudging me.
The thought of staying the night in a hotel with her left my stomach in a knot. Not in a nervous fluttering kind of way, but almost unsettled.
I took another sip of the scotch, the liquor leaving a slight burn in my throat. I furrowed my brows as my vision became hazy.
Was I getting drunk?
It took a lot for me to get drunk, and I’ve only had a few drinks this evening, so that wasn’t likely.
“One of my gammas will get back to me soon enough,” I assured her.
She looked almost disappointed by my statement, but then gave me a curious look.
“Are you feeling okay?” She asked.
“Is it getting hot in here?” I asked, suddenly feeling as if there wasn’t enough air in the room. It was incredibly hot; was I the only one suffering?
“I don’t think so,” she said, reaching out and touching my cheek.
“Need some water?” He asked, watching me carefully.
“I need a favor,” my words came out slurred, and I could barely register the man standing in front of me. “Give me… paper and… pen.” I took deep breaths between each word I spoke.
He nodded and reached for a piece of paper and pen, sliding it in front of me.
I wrote out a name and then a phone number.
“Call this person. Tell them Gavin Landry is in trouble, and they need to get here as soon as possible,” I told him, just as darkness started to cloud me.
“Sure,” he said as he grabbed the phone that hung on the wall behind him.
I rested my head on the counter as a pounding headache surfaced at my temple; heat consumed my body, making me feel as if I was on fire, and the entirety of the room spun.
The last thing I heard was the bartender speaking into the phone, “Hello, is this Judy Montague?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....
