Gabe Hollingsworth is a sports doctor for a rugby team. He finds a house with a "to let" sign up and decides to just go to the door instead of calling. He meets Roxie who is in the process of cleaning the house and has gotten some chemicals in her eyes. Gabe has sworn off relationships and for the time being women and is looking for someplace secluded to live. Roxie has spent most of her life caring for her sick grandparents. Her grandfather passed a year ago and now she has a list of things she...more
Rating 4.5 stars
What a lovely book, with amazing characters and a heroine I loved for her heart. The hero Gabe is a doctor, a sports one who wants some privacy after the events of the past few months(his ex went all stalkery on him and had a breakdown) and he spots a treehouse for rent that belongs to the heroine Roxie. When he meets her she is drenched and looks 17, he notices her but she is much too young but they come to an agreement he will rent the place out for a year.

Wow! Not since Adam Black in The Immortal Highlander have a read this good a description of a heroine losing her virginity! Jeez. If I hadn't wanted a do-over before, I definitely want one now.
Whew! Give me a minute.
Ok. What a fun, sexy, oftentimes deeply introspective book. Having had the privilege to play a small part in the nursing of aging relatives, I can understand where this heroine is coming from. I also deeply respected her basically putting her life on hold to take care of those she lo...more

this story was quite fun to read, it was a bit less stereotypical in a way that the heroine was the aggressor and pursued the guy for sex while the guy was more reluctant. as it is small book, there isn't much room for character development but a decent amount of it is seen through out the book.
for instance my opinion of the heroine changed from young innocent girl to CONFIDENT I'LL DO WHAT I CAN TO GET WHAT I WANT kinda girl. and our hero who supposedly had a playboy rep seemed to care more abo...more

Roxie missed out on all the teenaged adventures in life while caring for her grandparents. After their death, she decides to list each achievement and enjoy a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Finding herself with a very sexy new tenant, she decides Gabe is perfect for the job of ending her virginity.

What a wonderful book. It's been reviewed enough that no further description is needed. What I liked best was the character development. The actions, personality, and defense mechanisms of the H/h made perfect sense based on their life experiences. What they both wanted was a no strings attached fling, they both wanted to maintain there personal freedom. Turns out what they thought they wanted changed and getting past their defenses to come to terms with that was the obstacle. The HEA was great,...more

Natalie Anderson never disappoints when it comes to a seriously sensual relationship between to well matched (but antagonistic - obviously!) characters.
I like the fact that the heroine here is just coming out of her shell and finding out who she is as she meets the man that changes everything for her. She not only has to face the scary prospect of taking on a new and pretty high profile job, but also has to make up her mind about whether her hot doc is a lifetime prospect.

She's ready to get going—starting with the big one—losing her "V" plates!
A Fun, Flirty, Sexy read! This story did not quite conform to the 'Presents' mould, for that alone "First Time Lucky?" has got to be one of the best presents I had read this year.

this book has a bit of a twist on the regular HP romances, as in this one, the heroine is the aggressor and the hero is reluctant to bed her! of course, there are reasons for the behavior of both of them, and it was a fun book.
Plot goes in circles..
Roxy -"i love him but i cannot tell him so let me just leave this god forsaken place"
Gabe -"Do i love her? but i want my freedom and have my pride so i will not tell her, she should fall at my feet like everyone"
Got a headache reading this..

This is a classic case of women. This seems like a really good book, that has a vast array of characters.
sounds like a very interesting book, Can't wait to read it, If i dont win it have to go order it online :)
Gabe was a sweetheart but I couldn't like or understand the heroine. She was blind and delusional, a bit too much for my taste.

I adored Roxie & Gabe !! Roxie is one determined h , she knows what she wants and goes for it. After putting her life on hold for years to take care of her grandparents, she is fully determined to have her life back and start having fun. Gabe doesnt know what hits him. He has no chance to resist Roxie, thu he tried hard.
NA is one of my fav authors & every one of her books is a new proof of how talented she is. Fresh, fun, breezy & sassy, yet full of depth & emotions...more
