Publisher’s Synopsis:
Nothing comes easy. You’ve gotta work for it.
Matt Coleman always figured at this point in his life, he’d be settled down with a family. Since his ex split for the big city, though, no way will he give anyone else the chance to drop-kick his heart. Physical pleasure? Hell, yeah, he’ll take and give with gusto, but nothing more.
Hope Meridan is working long hours to hold on to her new quilt shop, going it alone since her sister/business partner ran off. Sex? Right, like she’s got the time. Not that she doesn’t have the occasional dirty fantasy about Matt. Fat chance he’d dream of knocking boots with her, the younger sister of the woman who dumped him. Nope, she’ll just have to settle for friendship.
Friends would be far easier if there wasn’t something combustible going on between them. And when casual interest starts to grow into something more, their tenuous bond strengthens in the heat of desire. But it may not survive the hurricane-force arrival of the last person either of them ever wanted to see again
Point of view:
3rd Person. Mostly from Matt & Hope’s perspectives, but there are sections from Matt’s POV.
Rellim’s Thoughts:
This is another in the series where I feel like many parts of it I really liked and then there some parts that were just “ugh”. I actually liked Matt & Hope as a couple, how they got together, and a few of their outings were fun.
For me, the biggest let down was the proposal and since that came at the end it sorted of tainted the rest of how I was feeling about the book. It started strong and then fizzled.
Narration:
Tatiana Sokolov continues to do a good job on the narration.
