SYNOPSIS:
There’s only one man for wild child Jenna McCaffrey—her best friend’s sexy grouch of a brother. For years, she’s wanted to get her hungry hands on the straight-laced professor and break his careful control. She’d come so close once… But now, her friend’s wedding party ranch getaway is the perfect opportunity for a do-over. And poor Rob won’t know what hit him.
Professor Rob Lindgren is close to attaining his final dream—tenure. Unfortunately, the university’s morality clause is making his life hell. He’s dying to let loose, and a weekend away from home is just what he needs…until he sees Jenna. She’s exactly as he remembers—still brash, still bold, still damn near irresistible. And Rob is tired of fighting…
Too bad they can only have one wicked weekend together. No way will Jenna’s wild ways ever fit in Rob’s perfectly planned life…
Caroline's Review
3.5 stars
This was a sexy, quick read.
"She was an existential threat to everything he valued most about himself. Reason. Self-control. Vigilance."
Jenna is on a weekend away on a dude ranch for her best friend's bridal party. Her friend's brother, Rob, will be there, and she's determined to have a do-over of their disastrous tryst eight years earlier. She just needs to get him out of her system, once and for all.
"Impossibly hot, impossibly repressed, impossibly untouchable."
Rob is a stern professor type. He's been offered tenure at the college where he works and his pristine reputation is key. Jenna is the opposite of everything he strives for. However, he's never been able to get past what happened between them, and works hard to maintain his equilibrium around her - to the point that they have pretty much a love-hate relationship.
"He definitely should not be aware of her as a woman he would like to worship in every possible way."
Jenna and Rob were a ticking time-bomb waiting to explode. Forced into close proximity, the sexual attraction between them absolutely pulsated, with Jenna pushing Rob to his limits.
Rob is a man at a crossroads in his career and the weekend on the ranch reminds him of his lost dreams, but also wakes him up to what he really wants out of life and what would make him happy. He also sees Jenna in a new light and faces a startling revelation, too.
Jenna contends with family issues and exposes her vulnerability to Rob. I enjoyed that after pursuing and goading him over the years, the tables are turned and she starts to see a different side to him.
This author was new to me. There were particular lines in the story that I thought were well-delivered and enjoyed her overall writing style. I think I would have really preferred a slightly longer novel with the storyline spun out a little bit more, as I felt things yo-yoed pretty quickly between the main characters.
