Dax: After spending months buried up to my eyeballs in my family’s affairs, I’m ready for a break. The kind of break where I can spend two solid weeks camping and fishing in the company of absolutely no one. Then I find myself directly in the path of a drop-dead gorgeous tornado by the name of Becca Stone. Who can resist a night with a damsel in distress? Especially when she happens to be a leggy blonde? The last thing I expect is for Becca to show up on my cabin doorstep the next night, shivering in the rain and ready for seconds.
Becca: One minute I’m admiring the rock-hard jaw of the Magic Mike lookalike who walks into my bar, and the next I’m getting fired by my own brother. Loudly. In front of everyone. Luckily Dax Vaughn is a gentleman who aims his white-hot smile at me. Oh, it’s on. Wham, bam, thank you ma’am. Then a torrential storm washes out the main road and causes a massive power outage, giving us two whole weeks to enjoy each other’s company. At which point Dax will go back home, leaving “us” in the rearview mirror. That’s the plan. Or it was . . . until I started falling for him.
One night of sexy passion was all it was supposed to be … until they both wanted more! We’re quick to jump into action at the beginning of this story as the characters meet and have instant attraction, but I felt some substance was missing. The old gang from the previous books in the series popped up very little, so that old friendly banter that we knew and loved just wasn’t there nearly enough. An enjoyable read for sure … but not my favorite of the series.
Becca Stone just simply isn’t going to put up with her brother firing her in front of the customer’s at the bar … especially when one of them is smoking hot! He’ll forgive her for being late … he has to, he always does! Until then, she’ll distract herself having a little fun with the sexy newcomer!
Dax Vaughn is just passing through, but he’s willing to have the night of fun the wildcat from the bar offers up … only when morning comes, he wishes she’d stay around for awhile! When he gets more than he bargained for when the road washes out and strands her in his cabin, good times are had by all … but he might just be falling for her harder than she is for him!
