Synopsis
The safe choice can be the riskiest of all… Ever since her beloved older brother disappeared after an accident, Josie Woodmere’s been on a mission to find him—and maybe herself—along the way. That’s meant leaving her pampered, parent-approved life behind. Two years, four moves, and a body piercing later, she’s finally got a lead on her brother’s whereabouts, and she’s headed to Florida. She didn’t plan to ditch her sputtering car and accept a ride from Brinn McRae. But she didn’t plan to be attracted to a straight-laced guy like him either, much less land in his hometown, Daytona Beach… A self-made man with a tough past, Brinn is a workaholic who allows very little room for pleasure—until he meets Josie. Their powerful chemistry is a distraction neither wants, yet neither can resist. Hoping they can burn it off, Brinn agrees to a no-strings arrangement. But they can only hide their deepening feelings for so long—until a disaster strikes, exposing truths that threaten to ruin everything… Now, not only will Josie have to contend with the troubling secret her brother has finally revealed—she’ll have to convince Brinn she’s more than a rich girl playing at being free. This time, she’s playing for keeps.
My Review:
There is nothing as mouth-watering than an alpha character who is a sexy pilot with aviator sunnies and everything and when the female character keeps shocking you page after page, Josie is the type or girl who’s going to keeping you in a constant state of bewilderment with how she thinks and behave, plus you add an explosive sexual tension into that mix, you’ve got yourself nothing less than a tantalizingly wicked read. Fast-paced, vicious, daring in its approach, and so delectably naughty at times that you’ll neverlook at another henna tattoo the same way.
Josie is that kind of girl you can’t judge by her cover, because she’s so much than what you think, graduated from one of the best college, super smart and when it comes to relationships she keeps it like guys would want it. She’s desperate to run away to learn what she is made of, she wants to do things and she dreams to get in contact with her brother – she’s kind of a nomad she never stay in one place for long. But her luck is just about to change as she finds herself working with McRae the very man that somehow makes her wants a bit more and one taste is just not enough.
Brinn McRae is the kind of guy that doesn’t trust that much in others and wants to keep it safe by doing the things by his own. He’s the kind of guy every girl drools over but he isn’t ready to be in a relationship when he’s trying to help his brother and accomplish a lot in his career. McRae see josie as the girl every boy dreams about, she just wants sex and that’s all but sometimes what we want isn’t what we need and when the heart gets in the way. He fined himself determined to make her stay and see why things could work.
Through the chapters of unexpected twists and turns in the plotline, the story never fails to make our hearts race, either from the sexual tension between McRae and Josie, or the nail-biting anticipation of what’s gonna happen with them or what’s next for Josie and her brother. But even with so many exciting facets to this story, the connection between McRae and Josie remains the driving force pushing the story forward. More alike than either of them is willing to admit, they push each other’s and they don’t want to admit things.
Overall, this book is a great steamy read a fresh, exciting, and distinctive story in every way. And I did mention McRae was hot, right?
