Jessica Sterns has always been a good girl, doing right, dating right, following all the right rules. Now, at twenty nine, thanks to a life change, she's got a whole lot of catching up to do, and a whole lot of bad girl to let loose. It's just a question of finding the right man.
At first glance, Mac Hollister would appear to be just that man. The tall rugged rancher practically oozes testosterone, while his indolent posture, easy confidence and raw masculinity just scream "bad boy". He's the kind of man women spin dark fantasies around. The kind of man she's looking for.
The minute the honey-blonde sets her dainty foot on the sidewalk in Round The Bend, Mac knows he's in trouble. From the top of her head with its long French braid, to the tips of her toes with their delicate pink polish, this woman defines elegance. Not the kind of woman he prefers, but no amount of logic can dissuade his interest once he sees Jessie's smile. He's always been a sucker for a sense of humor. Especially when it comes packaged with a killer body and an equally killer wit.
Mac expects their affair to be short, sweet and safe, but he soon discovers that beneath that delicate image lurks a woman who can handle all the "bad boy" he can throw at her. She's everything he never expected to find, and what started out short-term soon becomes a relationship that will demand a compromise he's not sure he can make in order to keep the one woman he can't imagine living without.

November 03, 2009: I cannot tell you how much I disliked this book. The characters (JC and Mac) were shallow and not well developed. The book had no point to it except for these two to continually have sex to cross off items on a "to do list" that JC had regarding sex. I've read my share of erotic romance novels and have liked or loved many but this was too over the line to be thrilling at all. I would try one more book by this author just to see if this one is an anomaly but if it's anything like this, it will be my last.

March 29, 2009: And Sarah Mccart KNOWS how to write them. This was really good although not as good as her Promises series. THOSE guys are awesome, hot and extremely devoted to their women. This is one of my auto-buy authors.
I Also Recommend: Caine's Reckoning, Night Angel, Promises Linger, Promises Keep, Promises Prevail.
