    <![CDATA[<strong>Lori Love is yearning for something more</strong><br/><br/>Lori had always planned to get out of tiny Tumble Creek, Colorado, but when her late dad left her his beloved auto body shop, she'd stayed. Now, according to her crazy best friend, Molly, what Lori needs is some excitement, in the form of hot, no-strings-attached sex…and lots of it.<br/><br/>Quinn Jennings has buildings on the brain—not love and romance. A serious architect, he's delighted to discover that Lori is willing to skip dating protocols and head straight for the sheets. And aided by the steamy books on Lori's bedside table, he's busy indulging both of their wildest fantasies. But when life in Tumble Creek takes a dangerous turn for Lori, Quinn's protective instincts kick in.<br/><br/>Suddenly he cares. More than either of them ever expected….<br/><br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Lori Love is yearning for something more</strong><br/><br/>Lori had always planned to get out of tiny Tumble Creek, Colorado, but when her late dad left her his beloved auto body shop, she'd stayed. Now, according to her crazy best friend, Molly, what Lori needs is some excitement, in the form of hot, no-strings-attached sex…and lots of it.<br/><br/>Quinn Jennings has buildings on the brain—not love and romance. A serious architect, he's delighted to discover that Lori is willing to skip dating protocols and head straight for the sheets. And aided by the steamy books on Lori's bedside table, he's busy indulging both of their wildest fantasies. But when life in Tumble Creek takes a dangerous turn for Lori, Quinn's protective instincts kick in.<br/><br/>Suddenly he cares. More than either of them ever expected….<br/><br/>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a fun book but not as good as the first for me. The story mostly revolved around a lot of sex, the suspense was pretty thin. I figured out the culprit early on which was sort of a let down. New characters would be mentioned and then show up a few chapters later.
