Mary Whaley has her hands full running a successful catering company and overseeing her supper club. She has everything she ever wanted—or so she thought. When she meets ridiculously hot and very dirty rock star Damien Hurley at her friend’s engagement party, the attraction she feels is overpowering—and she isn’t about to deny herself.
Damien is used to a hard and fast life. He and two of his brothers started a band when they were fresh out of high school—then they hit the big time and stayed there. He’s also a legendary madman on the stage and in the bedroom. But when he meets Mary, something clicks, and the bad boy starts thinking he may have finally found something good.
What begins as a series of fleeting trysts soon gets much more complicated. Damien can’t figure out why Mary doesn’t want more from him. And before long, it’s Damien who wants more from Mary. But it turns out Mary is no stranger to celebrity news, and he’s got a very big job ahead of him: proving that he’s worth more than a one-night stand.
Review
*****Netgalley provided this book for me in exchange for my honest review.*****
Mary is a catering with an exploding career she knows what
she wants and does not have time for a serious relationship. Damien is a bad
boy rocker; he lives hard and has a new woman almost every night. They meet at
a mutual friend’s engagement party and sparks fly, what was supposed to be a
one night stand turns into multiple meetings. Damien has to show Mary that he
can be faithful and being with him is worth living in the limelight. Mary is a
strong woman, she has her own life, and she doesn't need a man to take care of
her. She does not want to have something with Damien because she has seen the
problems her friend had because she loved a celebrity. Damien lived hard and
played hard, all that changed when he decided he wanted something more with
Mary. He was sweet, understanding and off the charts hot, he has more patients
than a saint at times. This book started out as another boy meets girl, they
have sex and start seeing each other. I was really surprised when things
started to change, the mood of the book subtly shifted from erotica to a sweet
romance. There were still plenty of steamy sex scenes; however the difference
in the characters actions and attitudes was huge. The changes added a new depth to the
characters that was missing in the beginning, the characters started to matter
to me and I was rooting for their happily ever after. The writing was good, the
storyline was interesting and the sex scenes were hot. I really liked this book
and will be picking up the other books in the series.
Jillian, I absolutely agree with this review. There was just something "more" about this pair. The romance was hot, yet sweet and emotional. I loved every minute of it, glad you did too.
