Rafael SilvaThe Spanish God that I just spilled my coffee all over in the elevator, strides into the room, knowing every woman in this office is picturing him as her lunch, I know I am. Until he winks at me with that arrogant smirk and I steel myself. The memory of that smirk all summer my senior year, spending every waking moment with my father’s exchange student intern hits me. Mother f–… Mother f–
Competing against the asshole that ten years ago, taught me things that would make a stripper blush? Done. Pretending that him high tailing it out of here, never to be heard from again didn’t break me? Doable. Avoiding the desire to lick him from head to toe? Working on it. Doing it without falling into his bed? Not so much.
Rochelle Saddler
My bosses daughter that stole my heart on my trip to the United States when I was younger, grew into a siren. When she dropped to her knees in the elevator, furiously rubbing the coffee off my pants, I almost lost my self control. Working alongside her again, competing against her is what I’ve waited for all these years. I may have left the first time princesa, but this time I’m staying…for good.
This read is intended for ages 18+ due to mature content. This is book 3 in the Saddler sibling series. It can be read as a standalone but for a better reading experience should be read after book 2, Saddler’s Sacrifice.

Rafa, Rafa, Rafa… I just love me some Spanish heroes, those accents are soooo hot, and the swoon queen didn’t disappoint with this guy. Rafael Silva is everything an American girl could want- he’s sweet-talking, sexy, and can dance his a$$ off.
He quickly hooks our girl, Rochelle Saddler, in her youth and she’s left completely blown away by him and his easy charm, as to be expected, because the boy simply oozes it.
Ten years have come and gone since their sparks were lit, but neither has ever been able to move on. Rafael for different reasons than Rochelle originally thought, but he’s back and only wants her and he aims to prove himself to her no matter what.
I absolutely loved Rochelle in the other books in the series. From the very beginning, she had me cracking up. But in this one, I was literally busting out laughing!
These two were straight fire from the get-go. Rafa was smooth-talking, sexy as hell, and a gentleman, except for when he was in the bedroom 😉 He and Rochelle were perfect for each other. And their banter is absolutely hilarious. They put a whole new meaning to renovating a house.
If you enjoy a good romance with laughs, love, (catching up with the Saddler crew) and heat then pick this one up, it’s sure to please.
God Nicole knows how to write the steamy, sexy, but also heartfelt stories!
I have been looking forward to Rochelle and Rafael’s story since the beginning. To see how Rochelle was in the beginning and how far she came from that shy girl, loved it! Love how sassy she is. Another thing Nicole is good at, writing strong and sassy Heroines.
To finally get the reason why Rafael ended up leaving broke my heart. I didn’t like it in the beginning but towards the end when you get his side of the story, I totally understood his reasons.
Overall this book, as ALL Nicole’s books are, was incredible!! Another thing she is good at is leaving you wanting more or needed the next book in the series right away! And that she did, I need to know more about Elijah and little Dakota too.

SPICY. FIRE. HOT. PICANTE. ZESTY. Those are just some of the words that would describe the relationship and the chemistry between Rochelle and Rafael.
I love Rochelle. She is strong, hardworking and SASSY! Girl can hold her own when it comes to all the men she is around. Rafael, well what isn’t there to love about a smooth-talking Spanish man? The chemistry between these two, well you better just grab a fan to cool yourself off, because it is scorching hot. Plus, the banter. Oh how I loved it. The sassy side of Rochelle came out full force so many times when it came to Rafa and I LOVED every single moment of it!
Besides being super spicy, this story was also heartbreaking (at least to me), learning the reason behind why Rafa left all those years ago and the pain and heartbreak Rochelle followed after. I just wanted to reach out and hug them both.
I LOVE the Saddler’s the more and more we get to know them throughout this series and I CANNOT wait to see what is in store next for this family.
