Addison Dahl is excited to return to Elpitha Island for her best friend Gabriella’s wedding. A weekend of sun and fun is just what she needs before setting out on her newest adventure—roughing it in the wilderness. Addison is tough, she’s independent, and she doesn’t “do” feelings toward men. But lately her friend—and Gabriella’s brother-in-law—sinfully sexy and ornery-as-hell Jake Ryder has been the star of her late-night fantasies, and she can’t get him out of her mind. It doesn’t help that the chemistry between them is scorching hot. With any luck, a few days in the wilderness will snap that craziness out of her head.
As a top search and rescue professional, Jake Ryder spends his days saving those in need and his nights in the arms of willing women who offer nothing more than a few hours of sexual enjoyment. But there’s only one woman he wants, and he’s spent the last several months trying to get beautiful, smart, and sassy Addison to give him one sinful night. He’s sure one night will lead to more.
The night of the wedding the heat between Jake and Addy ignites, and they’re powerless to resist their explosive passion. Wild kisses, sensual touches, and heartfelt conversations brings them closer together, and when the weekend ends, Jake is determined to keep Addy close and make her his. But Addy has other plans.
Addison was always under the watchful gaze of her parents and now she's out there trying to prove that she make it on her own. So she decides to go on a ten day camping trip alone some time after her best friend's wedding. At the wedding Addison and Jake are showing signs of some major chemistry and when he finds out that she is going alone on this camping trip alone he is less then thrilled but knows she needs this. He's works as a search and rescue and when he gets a call about about Addison going missing he goes out to find her.
When it comes to this author I can expect a few things a great romance, interesting characters, and unique stories. I remember a family member saying to me "Really? how many ways can someone write a romance book?" Well they obviously haven't read anything by this author.
If you are looking for fun and sexy romance then this book is for you. I really found myself enjoying this book. I liked seeing Addison was trying to prove herself especially in the woods even if the whole trip in the woods was a bit much. I loved getting to see a bit of the back story with Jake. I loved watching the chemistry between the two characters. If your interested in reading this fantastic book just know that this is apart of a series but can also act as a standalone so if you haven't read the others you can jump right into this book ( Although I do recommend you read the other books, they are pretty great.)
The spicy scent of Jake’s cologne
overrode the aroma of grilled meats and casseroles Gabriella’s
relatives had spent all day preparing. Jake rested his elbow on the
bar beside her, brushing his muscular forearm against hers and
sending ripples of awareness to her core.
Who was she kidding? There was no
distracting herself from the biggest distraction of them all.
“I think there are still a few
guys you haven’t danced with yet.”
Of course Jake would go straight to
pushing her buttons.
“I’ll have to take care of that,
won’t I? Gab’s brother, Niko, is looking awfully hot tonight.”
Niko was the epitome of a Greek heartthrob. Tall, dark, handsome, and
as touchy-feely as the rest of Gabriella’s warm and loving family.
He was also a shameless flirt.
Jake ground his teeth together,
nearly paralyzing her with a blistering stare.
“I haven’t seen you dance all
night. What’s the matter? Not into sexy island girls? Because I’m
pretty sure that guy over there by the tree bats for the other team.”
She enjoyed taunting the lion, even if she didn’t want to get too
close. Her pulse beat wildly, and her fingers ached to grab him by
the collar of his dress shirt and yank him down for what she knew
would be an incredibly hot kiss. She tried to keep from dropping her
eyes lower, but she was no match for the enticing ever-present bulge
beneath his zipper. The one that became even more prominent when they
were near. And damn, she liked knowing she had that effect on him.
He leaned in close, his warm breath
coasting over her cheek. “I’m not into dancing, but if you keep
looking at me like that you might find yourself getting up close and
personal with more than you can handle.”
She lifted her eyes to his, which
had gone coal black, and she swallowed hard against the lust
threatening to pour out her mouth. Addy was used to controlling every
interaction and reveled in holding her own and taking what she wanted
where men were concerned. Or at least she always had, until the King
of Hotness standing next to her came into the picture. Jake
definitely threw her off her game. Lately, when they were together,
she caught herself wondering if what she was experiencing were actual
emotions rather than impulses. That was one thing that had kept her
from taking their flirting to the next level. His relationship to her
best friend was the other. But boy did she want to cross that line.
It had been way too long since she had been with a man, thanks
to Jake.
Every time she came close to satisfying the urge to feel the weight
of a man pressing down on her and get lost in the throes of passion,
goddamn Jake swam into her mind, stealing her focus and killing
the moment. Her fantasy had become her own personal cockblocker.
In an effort to reclaim the upper
hand and prove he did not rattle
her, she dragged her eyes over his chest again and said, “I have
yet to meet a man who comes close to being what I
can handle, much less more.”
The edge of his lips twitched as if
they might quirk up, but he clenched his jaw, making the muscles
beneath his dark scruff jump. He shifted his eyes away just as Niko
headed toward them with a warm and inviting smile, making those jaw
muscles work double time.
Niko nodded at Jake and offered his
hand to Addy. “What kind of brother would I be if I didn’t dance
with my sister’s beautiful best friend? Care to join me?”
“I’d love to.” Addy reached
for his hand, taking pleasure in the tension rolling off of the man
who had yet to ask her for a single dance but had no trouble inviting
her into his bed.
