Blurb

The first time I met Chase Parker, I didn’t exactly make a good impression.

I was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant, leaving a message for my best friend to save me from my awful date.

He overheard and told me I was a bitch, then proceeded to offer me some dating advice.

So I told him to mind his own damn business—his own tall, gorgeous, full-of-himself damn business—and went back to my miserable date.

When he walked by my table, he smirked, and I watched his arrogant, sexy ass walk back to his date.

I couldn’t help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he caught me on more than one occasion, and winked.

When the gorgeous stranger and his equally hot date suddenly appeared at our table, I thought he was going to rat me out.

But instead, he pretended we knew each other and joined us—telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about our fake childhood.

My date suddenly went from boring to bizarrely exciting.

When it was over and we parted ways, I thought about him more than I would ever admit, even though I knew I’d never see him again.

I mean, what were the chances I’d run into him again in a city with eight million people?

Then again…

What were the chances a month later he’d wind up being my new sexy boss?

EXCERPT

“Sorry, I wasn’t looking where—”

I froze.

The sight of Chase standing there was almost enough to knock me over. I’d secretly hoped to see him, yet never thought I actually would. What are the chances? I did a double take, sure I was seeing things. But it was him all right, in the flesh. And what flesh it is. Standing there shirtless and wet—wearing nothing but a pair of low-slung swim trunks—he had me stuttering. Literally.

“Ch…Ch…Ch—” I couldn’t get the word out.

Of course, Chase didn’t miss a beat. He smirked and leaned in. “You do a cute train impression, Buttercup.”

He remembers me.

I shook my head, attempting to snap myself out of it. But it was no use. He was so tall, and I was so short, I had no choice but to stare at his body. Water trickled down his abs. I was mesmerized watching it speed up and slow down as it crossed the rippled lines of his six-pack. Damn.

I cleared my throat and finally spoke. “Chase.”

I was pretty freaking proud of myself for getting that much out. He had a towel slung around his neck and lifted it to dry off his dripping hair, revealing even more flesh. His pectoral muscles were carved and perfect. And—oh, my God…is that… Holy shit. It is. His nipples were cold and erect, and one of them was….was…pierced.

Review
You can never go wrong with a book written by Vi Keeland. This author knows how to work a sense of humor into her stories mixed with a deep meaning behind the character's lives.
Chase and Reese meet under very peculiar circumstances, he ends up saving her from a disastrous date and they go their separate ways. But as luck will have it that's not the end for these two, their paths keep crossing in the funniest of ways and thanks to Bossman, Reese gets the job of her dreams at his company.
Chase wants Reese, desires her in the deepest of ways, the problem is she's not an easy target and will not risk her job for just a sexy rump between the sheets with her boss, no matter how attractive he is.
While the banter from the very beginning, as well as the chemistry between Chase and Reese is off the charts hot, their story has a deeper meaning behind the sensual foreplay. These are two characters that lived through life changing experiences, that come with some baggage, and that are trying their best to put their pasts behind and live life the way it was intended. While I felt bad for Reese and what she went through, it was Chase's back story that got a hold of my heart and squeezed tight. I can't even imagine to go through something like what he went through.
While Chase is a delicious piece of salted caramel cheesecake on the outside, on the inside he's a fresh warmed croissant. A seductive devil with a heart of gold.
Although I loved and devoured every single word of this book, I would've liked to see a bit more feeling towards the end, a bit more of emotion from both characters, but specially from Chase since he was the one coming from a bigger shock.
All and all this is another solid hit for Ms. Keeland, well written, and one that contains the winning characteristics I'm accostumed to when it comes to her stories, humor, sensuality, unpredictability, and overall captivating.
Thank you for the chance to read and review this beauty Vi, until next time!
