Title: Filthy Foreign Exchange 2
Author: S.E. Hall & Angela Graham
Genre: New Adult
The conclusion of Echo and Kingston’s story as they backpack through Europe!
Book Description:
When Echo Kelly is invited on a backpacking trip throughout the UK, she jumps at the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, refusing to let one fleeting past exchange stop her.
At least, that’s what she’s convinced herself of, until the moment she sees him again. It’s not the one-time “run-in” she was expecting, and therefore prepared to handle.
Instead, it’s an announcement she never saw coming…he’s the tour guide.
She’s got no backup plan for that.
******
Kingston knew what it meant the moment Echo accepted the offer. And when he lays eyes on her, standing in his childhood home, her fate is sealed forever. There’s not a damn thing that will stop him from finally claiming what’s always been his.
Her.
Not everyone gets a second chance—and Kingston Hawthorne sure as hell isn’t going to let his slip away.

***ARC received for an honest review***
“…things have changed.”
“I know. And I’m scared to death.”
So once again I was reunited with my charming Brit, Kingston
Hawthorne. Oh how I have waited for this moment. After Filthy Foreign Exchange
I was left anxiously waiting for the conclusion to Echo and Kingston’s story.
While Echo was certain that their story was over I knew my Brit had that
typical British stiff upper lip and tenacity that would mean that he would
fight for who he loved…and love he did.
“I want you, Echo – every single
beautiful, stubborn part of you. I’m never going to give up again, because I
know what it feels like to walk away. And now that I have you here – have you
back – I’m too selfish to ever let you go again.”
Filthy Foreign Exchange 2 continues on from Filthy Foreign
Exchange and Echo has been chosen to go on a back tripping trip around Europe
that was run by Kingston’s father. I did wonder why Echo had been chosen, but I
feel that the Hawthorne family had put their match making hats firmly on and after
meeting Kingston’s grandmother in this book, I am now certain. The icing on the
cake is the fact that the tour guide is none other than Kingston himself. It
seems these two are destined to talk.
“He knows that when I look at
you, I see exactly what he saw when he looked at my mother – genuine,
unbelievable, and completely unconditional love.”
Kingston had been incessantly talking about Echo since his
return to the UK and when a Hawthorne falls in love, they fall in love for
life. I have to say that I didn’t think I could love Kingston any more than I
already did, but boy does he release all that British charm in abundance in
this book and I fell hard. Kingston was courteous as ever but resilient and
extremely patient. He played the long game, he studied his prey and played her
brilliantly, not in a nasty way, but in the way she needed to be handled so
that it appeared to Echo at least, she had made the decisions. It had to be her
choice, she was in charge whether she knew it or not.
“How can I possibly expect my
heart – the most powerful, yet fragile, organ in the body – to resist when my
scalp still tingles from the desperate touch of his fingers, and my tongue
continues to swipe across my swollen lips for another taste of him?”
From when Echo and Kingston first meet once again that
undeniable chemistry sparks back to life, so much so that not even Echo can
deny it, much to her chagrin. She plays hard ball, but every little action by
Kingston, which would seem insignificant to others, means the world to Echo.
Our Kingston brings his ‘A’ game.
I loved Echo’s exuberance and excitement at finally seeing
the big world on her own, she finally felt that she was growing up and she was
literally like a kid in a candy store. Her thirst for knowledge and history was
infectious and while most others on the tour were more interested in the night
life you could feel Echo’s excitement at just seeing the country itself and the
landmarks. I loved that these two authors took the time to describe and relay
to the readers the sights themselves so you actually felt that you were on this
trip with them and the rest was an added bonus.
The other back packers all had their parts to play and Echo
does find a new BBF that had no filter whatsoever. This results in some
fantastic dialogue once again and a few situations that will have you crying
with tears of laughter.
“Bloody Christ, you ladies and
cannabis do not agree…is there any single emotion we haven’t hit upon yet?”
SE Hall and Andrea Graham really wrapped up this duet nicely
and I had many a laugh while reading as well as a few throat clogging moments
too. I have loved these two books made all the more enjoyable by two fantastic
characters that you could not help but fall in love with. I am now hoping that
Echo’s brother, Chris, gets his story told. Reading between the lines I think
he has an extremely interesting road ahead of him.
Excerpt:
“Disappointed?” he asks with smug confidence.
“About?” I mutter too quickly…too transparently.
His deep laugh slashes through the air.
“You know exactly what—and we both know the answer is yes.”
The sexual magnetism between us is thick. He grabs me by the hips and pulls me to him, breaking the silence with a hoarse whisper.
“My sentimental, romantic Echo isn’t wearing the look of a woman who just got the kiss she’s always dreamed of—pictured a million times.
