Mia Appleby finally has the life she always wanted. She's escaped her trailer trash childhood and built a nice life for herself with a marketing job and a cute, little condo. But no matter how much baggage she's ditched from her past, she still hasn't managed to shake her greatest weakness-men. So when her new neighbor turns out to be single and oh-so-sexy, Mia's worried she's playing with fire . . . Kevin McKnight can't get enough of his gorgeous neighbor, but after one amazing night, she's already showing him the door. Something tells him this is the way she handles most men. But Kevin is far from your average guy-and he's ready to prove it to Mia. When a blast from her past shakes up Mia's life in a major way, will she stick with her self-sufficient solo act . . . or take a chance leaning on Kevin's strong shoulders?
MY REVIEW:
Mia Appleby ashamed of her poor Tennessee
trailer park back ground, did everything she could to get out. As a kid everyone knew she was different
because she always thought she was better than them. It really wasn’t that she just wanted
better. Mainly for her she knew there
had to be better.
So, even as a young girl she taught
herself everything she could about everything she could at the library. She knew knowledge was her ticket out of
there. To the point where she won a full
ride scholarship to college. Leaving
Tennessee in the dust never and never looking back to the point of changing her
accent and never speaking of her life before college or of her family at all.
Relationships of any kind were not her
thing but especially with men. If she
was with a man at it was for a one night stand and nothing more until her
neighbor Kevin McKnight the biker babe who just moved in. He was just sin on two wheels. She had to have him so she went after him. The problem being she woke up with him in his
home after a mind blowing night of marathon sex. Not her M.O. and her emotions clouded her
mind not a good thing.
Not to mention Kevin acted as if he was
hurt she was bailing and not wanting to cuddle.
What is that all about? Guys are
usually relieved. When she says about
how biker dudes usually love ‘em and leave ‘em.
He says, “I’m not a biker, I’m a teacher who rides a bike.” Or something along those lines. They are both surprised and a little out of
their element.
He was not just a onetime tumble in the
hay or was he? Mia was not a relationship
girl or was she? Hmmm? You find yourself emotionally invested in all
the characters and how they will finally emotionally connect to one another or
if they ever really can.
I enjoyed watching this crazy
non-relationship unfold. There are funny
moments and sad moments that just break your heart. Read and enjoy the ride of this dysfunctional
non-couple and their non-extended family.
