I hooked up with my temporary roommate. Now I’ll do anything to claim her for good.
I’m Noah Weston. For a decade, I’ve quarterbacked America’s most iconic football team and plowed my way through women. Now I’m transitioning from star player to retired jock—with a cloud of allegation hanging over my head. So I’m escaping to the private ocean-front paradise I bought for peace and quiet. What I … bought for peace and quiet. What I get instead is stubborn, snarky, wild, lights-my-blood-on-fire Harlow Reed. Since she just left a relationship in a hugely viral way, she should be the last woman I’m seen with.
On second thought, we can help each other…
I need a steady, supportive “girlfriend” for the court of public opinion, not entanglements. Harlow is merely looking for nonstop sweaty sex and screaming orgasms that wring pleasure from her oh-so-luscious body. Three months—that’s how long it should take for us both to scratch this itch and leave our respective scandals behind. But the more I know this woman, the less I can picture my life without her. And when I’m forced to choose, I’ll realize I don’t merely want her in my bed or need her for a ruse. I more than love her enough to do whatever it takes to make her mine for good.

Noah and Harlow are captivating.

Of course, can these two keep their hands off each other. The sex is intense, totally Alpha male and delicious to devour. Add in crazy family drama for Harlow to provide intense drama. Her parents are utterly shocking. A beautiful journey that shows people do enter your life when you truly need them most.

I requested an advanced copy from the publisher, and voluntarily read and reviewed.
Shayla Black draws you into the story from the first word on the first page. Sights, sounds, smells and emotions are so vividly described that you are right there with the characters. She skillfully weaves present day, real life events into the fabric of the story.
Harlow Reed like her brothers Maxon and Griff is almost irrevocably damaged from the cold, callous and manipulative upbringing by their parents. She is commitment phobic and doesn’t believe at all in love. Noah Weston bowed out of the NFL at the top of his game because his body and his health could no longer take the weekly abuse encountered in a football game. From the instant he sees Harlow he wants her. They have great sexual chemistry and it doesn’t take long for him to realize it’s more than just sex. Challenges continue to arise throwing stumbling blocks in their path to happiness. Overcoming them seems to be monumental but so worth it for happiness in the end.
