Sidelined after an elbow injury, former Major League Baseball pitcher Chase Dixon ends up working security at a club—and his first assignment? Crowd control for singer Summer Maitland’s biggest rock show yet. Summer, his little sister’s best friend. Summer, the woman he once kissed and hasn’t been able to stop thinking about … kissed and hasn’t been able to stop thinking about since.
Summer, who is younger, and off-limits, and oh yeah, now she’s his client too.
Turns out she needs protection—and not just the kind in foil—and he’s putting together a bodyguard agency. He’s more than willing to make sure she’s safe.
All night long.
Even if the explosive heat flaring to life between them is anything but.

Want a book to spend an evening with? This one’s funny with a little bit of suspense to make things interesting. Summer and Chase are a riot and steamy as hell!
This was a good book that had humor and a best friends sister trope that I love. It was a fun read that made me smile but also made me want to strangle Chase a wee bit, LOL. Summer was a great character who has her reasons for being who she is and I loved her values and how she was fearless!
Well this was a good book. A little different than I am used to, but still good. I do love you authors that have the hot and steamy love scenes. I love those in a good book, so thank you. Thank you for the good book.
I couldn’t put this hot and steamy book down. It consumed me and time seemed to stand still as I became so engrossed in the story of Chase and Summer. I 100% recommend this 5 star read that will keep you gripped throughout and leave you wanting more of this amazing couple.

Chase & Summer grew up next door to each other although he’s older. She’s his little sisters best friend. They reconnect by accident when he’s working Security at club she’s singing at. Some idiotic drunks put her in danger & Chase steps in. They kissed once, a year before, but the attraction between them is a constant sizzle!!
I enjoyed this story. I felt there was a disconnect between the characters & myself as the reader. That’s really unusual for me with these writers so I am going to assume its a one off I have to mention that I loved Summer’s strength of will & refusal to be anyone other than herself!!!
Anyway, I will be reading Jax & Cass’s book

Summer is a singer just started her career. Chase is a former pitcher who injured his elbow and is starting a bodyguard business. When he finds out she’s singing without any protection, he tells her he’s going to be her security. He’s a recovering alcoholic and she’s on her way to stardom.
Extremely sexy story. Funny. Characters that will leave you wanting more. Be prepared for a cold shower after this book.
Oral skills are superb in every sense of the word for both Chase and Summer. Pun intended tee hee! These two were thrown together by chance but have to fight to let go of their assumptions. One supposed bad boy and a girl tired of being good…what can go wrong?
