Blurb: The road trip was definitely a bad idea. Having already flambéed her culinary career beyond recognition, Rita Clarkson is now stranded in God-Knows-Where, New Mexico, with a busted-ass car and her three temperamental siblings, who she hasn’t seen in years. When rescue shows up—six-feet-plus of hot, charming sex on a motorcycle—Rita’s pretty certain she’s gone from the frying pan right into the fire . . .
Jasper Ellis has a bad boy reputation in this town, and he loathes it. The moment he sees Rita, though, Jasper knows he’s about to be sorely tempted. There’s something real between them. Something raw. And Jasper has only a few days to show Rita that he isn’t just for tonight—he’s forever.
Review: Definitely a book for fans of Shannon Stacey’s Kowalski family series, this dysfunctional family starts on an eternally damned road trip across the United States to make a deadline for New Years. They’re planning to replicate an insane idea from their deceased mother’s past. Why? Because they’re reeling with grief and they’re just crazy enough to fall in line with their sister Peggy’s plans.
I read the second in this series before I read this one–the reason for this release is that it’s coming out in paperback. Luckily the story is really memorable and well-defined, so I slipped right in with no trouble understanding the story line.
Rita was the one who took over their famous mother’s cooking dynasty. In fact, Wayfare, the restaurant her mother had created was where Rita ruled … until she didn’t. Sometimes wanting to be like someone else works for a while, but then the top comes off and the truth is revealed. Rita wasn’t a fabulous cook like her mother, she just wasn’t. But after her mother died and she made a spectacle of herself on national tv, she’d certainly made a name for herself in that world. It just wasn’t a good one.
Stranded in New Mexico while their vehicle’s being fixed, Rita meets her match in Jasper Ellis. Jasper is trying to overcome his hound dog reputation in town. Unfortunately, his attraction for Rita is too strong for him to resist her. Can he convince her that he’s worth a long shot?
Sweet and sexy romance with lots of interesting characters and a storyline for each. Read this one first and then follow the series with the second one,
Too Wild to Tame. You won’t regret it!
