She picked the wrong man… only to find Mr. Right.On the run for a robbery she didn’t commit, Renee Esterhaus is stuck in East Texas with a broken-down car and a nasty bounty hunter hot on her trail. Desperate for a way out, she makes a promise she never intends to keep – offer the first man she sees a night of unforgettable pleasure in return for a ride. A night to remember, all right, since … all right, since the man turns out to be a cop on vacation with zero tolerance for sweet-talking criminals.
When the truth comes out, John DeMarco is determined to take Renee to jail, but it isn’t long before he thinks she may be innocent after all. Soon they’re working together to clear her name, but that means dodging his all-cop family, dealing with oddball suspects, staying one step ahead of a pissed-off bounty hunter – and trying to pretend they’re not falling in love.

Renee is on the run from a robbery that she didn’t commit. She needs help, the first man she runs into, she has offered a fun night for his help of her safety. Little did she know, John is a cop on vacation. His first plan was to take her to jail but soon believes she might be telling the truth after all. Now can they prove her innocence without getting their hearts involved?
This was a fast paced story with lots of humor and romance. Great characters. I’m already in love with the DeMarco family. Can’t wait to read the next book. This is a reissue but has been updated.
A hilarious adventure for Renee Eserhaus as she fights to get ahead and to clear her name when she is arrested and accused of an armed robbery. Renee is running for her life, having changed her “teenage” ways and finally feeling good about herself and her future. That is until her car is stopped due to a taillight issue and a gun and money are found in her car. When she misses her court date, she is attacked by a bond enforcement agent, but manages to get away. To escape, she convinces a man in a diner to take her to his cabin (you’ll have to read the book to find out how she does this – lol). She did not know he was a cop, one who was taking a break after an arrest he made was overturned and a criminal was turned loose. John DeMarco is that man in the diner and one hilarious event after another leads you through a wonderful “laugh out loud” story. John has a large and crazy family and Renee fits right in. Renee has courage and grit and won’t stop until the guilty person is found. I loved this story and the zany characters. I look forward to reading the stories about John’s siblings – Alex, Dave and Sandy. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)
Just finished reading this book and I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. Not your typical romance novel but that’s what makes it so fun. Lots of humor, lots of twists and lots of romance. The craziness Renee and John find themselves in will keep you completely entertained. This is a reissue of a previously published book. It has been updated very nicely! Definitely a recommended read for everyone!!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC from NetGalley.
Renee Esterhaus was on the run. She didn’t commit the crime the police said she did, but no one would believe her. She wasn’t about to go to prison for something she didn’t do. When Renee met John DeMarco, she didn’t know he was a police officer who is just taking some time away from his job. He was the first person she saw at the diner when she ran in for help. She just needed someone with a car to get her away from the bounty hunter who is after her. After Renee pours her heart out to John, he starts to believe her story. John decides to take in it his own hands, regardless of the consequences, and help her find the real person behind the robbery.
This was an intense, sit on the edge of your seat, book. I couldn’t put it down. It’s a wonderful romantic suspense story with characters will want more of. This is the beginning of a new series and it is starting off with a bang.
Thouroughly enjoyed this story & the characters were great!!! Will definitely be looking for more from this author!!
Cute story. Engaging characters.
