I’ve never been the type of woman to have a casual fling. But after a fight with my boss that ended in a forced vacation and one too many drinks in the hotel bar, I found myself enjoying the company of a man who went by the name of Thorn. A man whose accent I couldn’t quite place and whose black eyes could command anyone to do anything he desired.We had seven days to enjoy each other. Seven days … other.
Seven days of no commitments, no worries of the future, and no personal details to share.
Only, I returned with more than just memories and a few stolen photographs.
Too bad we only agreed to share our first names.

This was such a fantastic romance read that’s steamy, funny and a book all romance readers will enjoy. Lily is such a workaholic and a vacation trip she desperately does not want to take, ends with her having everything and more than she ever dreamed of having and wanting. I enjoyed all of the characters in this story, but Arie (Thorn) is definitely my favorite. He was not only swoon worthy, but he was sweet, thoughtful and caring from the very beginning and I enjoyed him a lot. Readers will absolutely love his character. The moments between him and Hali were priceless. This is the first book I’ve read from this author and based on how I feel after this story, it won’t be my last. This story will leave you with a happy feeling and a smile on your face. I highly recommend it because I absolutely loved it.

Last night was a night I would never forget. The way he cherished me. Worshiped my body with so much conviction I never wanted our time together to end. Repeatedly, he gave us both pleasure until we were spent and gasping for air. We collapsed onto the bed and sought each other out, letting sleep claim us mere moments after we covered ourselves with the blanket.
My cheeks flushed at the memory of everything he’d done to my body. The positions he had me in. The moans he elicited from me. Everything was so out of the norm for me last night, that I didn’t even know how that could’ve been me in the room, but that was Thorn. He made it feel effortless to do things outside of my comfort zone. Things I’m sure I’d never do again.
Getting up, I let the sheet fall from my body and quietly walked to the other side of the room to get dressed. The boat would be at the dock in an hour, and I couldn’t miss my opportunity to get back to the mainland and catch my flight.
After I pulled on my flight attire, I picked up my bags and carried them to the door. Taking one extra moment, I turned back toward the bed where Thorn continued to sleep unaware. I had so much to thank him for. But those thanks would have to remain hidden. He brought me to life and for that alone, I’d never forget him. I was going back to California a new woman. With new priorities. Ones I planned to implement as soon as I landed and returned to my apartment. I was also going back completely in love with a man that I’d never be able to have.
“Goodbye, Thorn,” I whispered before I slid open the door just enough so I could slip through undetected and made my way down the wooden planked dock. I never even got his real name. Another regret I’d go home with. But it was better that way. I couldn’t Google him and find him later. I was better off only knowing him as Thorn . Just as he was better off only knowing me as Lily. We didn’t share personal details like where we lived or worked, only information that was irrelevant. But part of me wondered what everyone else called him in the professional world and how that name would sound coming off my lips. I guess I’d never know.
