When she graduates from college as valedictorian with a degree in social services, her friend and mentor Jill Swanson offers her a job, but with one condition. She has to take two weeks off and just have fun. Taking the instructions to heart, Jasmine goes to a club called Debauchery and has a sizzling encounter with a sexy stranger.
Ex-pro football player … football player Gabriel Johnson is done playing the field.
Gabe is tired of meaningless relationships, but when he meets a mysterious, beautiful, blue-eyed blonde at Debauchery and the chemistry is undeniable, he knows he’s finally found the one. What he didn’t expect was for her to freak out and run off.
Jasmine thought she made a clean getaway, so needless to say, she’s shocked when she finds herself face to face with the hot guy from the club once again.
He’s Jill’s. Half. Brother.
Gabe wants to pick up right where they left off and doesn’t waste any time convincing her. Jasmine’s blown away by the intensity of their relationship. How can she control something that makes her feel so wild and uninhibited?
But Jasmine can’t handle the pressure.
First, she’s confronted with old insecurities. Then suddenly, her brother has a secret he’ll only share with Gabe, the father who abandoned her shows up—at Gabe’s instigation—and a professional tragedy is the last straw.
What happens when it all falls apart?

This was the second that i read by this author and i loved this one. It is a sweet romance. The chemistry between the two main characters is amazing. Gabe is swoon worthy and fights for what he wants, Jasmine. He would make anyone an amazing hot boyfriend. It is steady paced with lots of steam. Easy, addictive guilty pleasure with some hot sexy romance.
Jasmine Nichols just graduated and is starting off with the job of her dreams. She has been so focused on this moment she has not taken the time to just have a life or fun. However, her best friend and new co-worker Jill has told her to take two weeks to relax and enjoy the moment.

Gabe sees Jasmine once and he is hooked. She is feisty, beautiful, sensual and a bit afraid of a relationship due to her past. Gabe though stands by her side and wants to build something with her but when the question she wants answered most about her past shows up in front of her what will Jasmine do?
I thought this was great but there is one moment towards the end that boggled my mind. Actually there were two one with her twin and one with Gabe. I did like all the characters in this story and wanted more. Jasmine is great and you get why she is hesitant while Gabe is Alpha male to the max. Not sure about the next book because you see glimpses in this one and I think it might be a tear jerker.
It was a really good book, I finished it in one day. I just had to know what happened. It actually touched on something that many people have not heard of but that my daughter had which is encephalitis. Which I loved,it brings awareness to something that many have never heard of. The only downfall to this book is I wanted more from Gabe’s pov.
When twins Jasmine and Jordan was born there mom got sick and there dad took off. Their grandparents took them in and raised them,until they passed away when the twins was 17. The state was going to put them in foster care but with help of Jill a social worker they were able to stay together. Jill and Jasmine grew very close. But Jasmine is a caretaker and doesn’t let loose. So she goes out clubbing with her brother and meets Gabe. They have some moments but then she disappears. Little do they know Gabe is Jill’s big brother. Gabe is tired of playing the field and is looking for something solid and finds it in Jasmine, if only he can keep her from running.
I really did enjoy this book and can’t wait to read more of this series. It’s not a cliffhanger and it has an epilogue which I love. I would definitely recommend this book.
