“I couldn’t get enough of these two! Their chemistry is palpable and addicting!” ~Becca
She’s the one that got away. He’s the one she can’t forget.
Photojournalist Christine Forsythe is ready to tackle her naughty little to-do list, and who better to tap for the job than a hot groomsman? But when she crashes into her best friend’s older brother, Christine realizes her list needs updating. And fast. Tyler Dresco took her virginity during the best night of her life, then bolted. Now that they’re trapped together at a destination wedding, she’s going to get her revenge.
Tyler has never forgiven himself for how completely he lost control all those years ago. Being in Christine’s arms had felt right…until he realized what he’d taken from her in the hallway of a cheap motel. And oh, how she’s making him pay for it now. The insatiable heat between them has only grown stronger, but every time things heat up, Christine walks away.
With every encounter, things go a little bit further until Christine’s caught in her own trap of seduction. And before their time’s up, Tyler’s not the only one wanting more…
Well, this was my first Diane Alberts/Jen McLaughlin book and was a bit nervous about whether it would stand up to my expectations after reading the amazing Dare to Resist.
The idea behind this series is just so spectacular and unique that it pulled me in from the moment I heard about it! This many different authors working together to create one series that ALL takes place at the same place and time! The amount of collaboration and work that it would take to make this good is incredible!
So, needless to say I was up in the air as I started reading this book! I just didn’t know what to think…
Let’s just say I sat down with this book this morning…and didn’t put it down until I was done! The story was so compelling and real that I was crying and screaming and wanting to hit things right along with Tyler and Christine the entire story!
Their past experience was a toughie…I could tell right away that Tyler wasn’t a douche or an asshole, even if he did make a massive ass of himself that one day so long ago. I can totally understand why Christine is so upset and wants pay back…I also had a feeling that she didn’t seem the vindictive type and probably wouldn’t be able to follow through with it.
Needless to say, I couldn’t get enough of these two! Their chemistry is palpable and addicting! When you add in to the story all of the fighting and constant head butting…the clinging to one another just to back away…the fear and the excitement…the misunderstandings…the well…the just plain sexiness of their time together…you end up with a book that you can’t put down, but don’t want to end. It’s so hard when you have a book like this…where you are totally in love with the characters and the story and want to know what happens, all while never wanting it to end!
There were so many times during this book that my hubby walked into the room and just looked at me and my huge goofy grin…or god forbid he came in when we were all pissed of (yes…I’m weird…I said we…as in Tyler, Christine and I….don’t judge me!) and I was literally scowling at my Kindle!
Anyways…what you all want to know without me letting loose a ton of spoilers…do I recommend the book? Oh that is one BIG OL’ HELL YEAH!
No seriously…why are you still reading my reviews?? Get to it! Click the link and buy the dang book already!!
I know I am about to go find a quiet corner and start reading the next one! Here’s to hoping this series keeps up the awesomeness that has begun!
