He sets her world on fire… Mercedes Hernandez is a “nice” girl who follows the rules. As the new sheriff of Strong, California, she’s responsible for making sure everyone else follows those rules too. She’s also had more than her fair share of Mr. Wrongs in her life, so the big, rough, too handsome, always laughing smoke jumper who roars through her town going ninety in a thirty-five-mile-an-hour zone is a definite problem. Not only is he breaking the law, but he just might break her heart. Speeding tickets can’t make him behave…so it might be time to break out the handcuffs for a more personal lesson in misbehaving.
And tempts her to be so very, very bad…
Former U.S. Navy SEAL, smoke jumper and unrepentant bad boy of summer, Joey Carter loves fast bikes, hot women, and a good time because speed and pleasure drown the ghosts from the past. He’s never met a woman he wanted to slow down for, however, until he literally runs into the good sheriff of Strong, California. She’s sweet and sexy…and the more he acts up, the more she notices him. And he really, really likes the way she looks at him.
Joey may be on his second chance with the law—but he wants a first chance at love…if he can convince Mercedes to let down her guard and let him show her that he’d be happy to play by her rules…in bed.
MY REVIEW:
When you come from a past of loss and pain
how do you trust enough to open up to someone new? Well, maybe you don’t. Maybe you keep on the QT and take them on a
test drive. Less risk of a broken heart
and another loss of a great job.
At least that’s the way Mercedes Hernandez
saw it. You see her long time high
school sweetheart turned out to be all kinds of bad. Effectively ending her career in law
enforcement in the L. A. area before she really got started. You know that “No consorting with convicted
felons” it was ironclad rule. Breaking
it had given her and invitation to had in a letter of resignation with her
badge and she turned a new leaf. “NO BAD
BOYS!” Not worth the price tag.
Then at her new job in Strong, California
comes along ex-Navy SEAL and smoke jumper, Joey Carter. A man who doesn’t like to take rules or
follow them anymore. His tours of duty
had brought him back broken. So, his
insomnia was causing a need for speed. A
way to get an adrenaline rush. Mercedes
finds him sexy as hell but wanted no part of him since she had already given
him 8+ speeding tickets. You know she
didn’t want history to repeat itself by having to leave a job over a guy who
couldn’t follow the rules.
She can’t seem to out run all his advances
to go out with him. She is attracted to
him like bears to honey. When her
friends start to push her toward him she starts to consider him for real. She doesn’t want to get hurt again so she
goes into it as an on the fly and no strings attached. Joey however agrees but is finding out fast
that he is wanting a whole lot more but doesn’t want to scare her off. He wants her to warm up to him and not just
in his bed. She had a risk taker like
Joey knew she had a risk taker before who broke her heart, not going there
again. Or is she? When ordered to stay away from him something
opens up in Mercy. Really confusing Joey
completely. What could that be? Mercy’s heart?
Totally enjoyed this book. I did wish for more of an ending. I think I wanted a twist like a baby I guess. Anyway, still a good book. I give it 5 stars. Provided by Net Galley.
