She Thinks Her Ex Is Sexy...
Shannon Leigh didn't look back when her rock-star lover split. Even though they had the most heart-stopping sex imaginable, Romero Jinks just wasn't the one for her.
But then she and her ex are thrown together for a friend's wedding--in sensual Mexico! Shannon forces herself to resist Romero's megawatt sex appeal until they leave....
Only to get stranded in the middle of the desert!
Now she's confronted by Romero's gloriously shirtless state. Before long, she's screaming in pure bliss under the hot sky. It's a scorcher of a reunion. Yet Shannon's determined they'll go their separate ways once they're rescued.
Because someone so wrong for her can't possibly be right...right?

Ms. Joanne Rock never fails to impress with her story-telling skills. She Thinks Her Ex Is Sexy is fresh and fast-paced. Yet Ms. Rock still seamlessly develops her hero’s and heroine’s back stories so you can understand and sympathize with what drives them, motivates their reactions. I found myself wanting to take sides over their break-up. They became real friends who I wanted to see make a go of their relationship because they would make a great couple if they could just get past the past.
Shannon Leigh cannot wait to leave. Foolishly, she had agreed to be maid of honor for her best friend’s romantic Mexican wedding. That was before she and Romero, the best man, had their big fight and very public break-up. After a night of watching him dance with one beautiful woman after another, all who claimed to be his all-time biggest fan and suffering through their required wedding party dance together, all Shannon wanted was a quick trip home. Fate has a sense of humor though. Why did it have to be Romero who offered her a ride home when her flight was cancelled? Why was it him who realized she needed help? Shannon wished she could have said no but then their names would be all over the gossip magazines. Again. Better a torturous ride home fighting her body’s physical responses to his closeness than having her name smeared at this crucial time in her faltering acting career.
Romero, sexy rock star, wonders if the torment of having his very tempting ex in his car was such a good idea after all. Yes, once he heard at the reception that her chartered flight had been cancelled, he knew it would cause major stress to her finances for her to get home. Did that mean he had to be the one to rescue her? He guessed it did. Romero couldn’t leave her stranded no matter if the few hours long trip would seriously drive him crazy. Least he could do was to take a short cut across the desert even if the old road did some damage to his brand new car. He was good at survival and every instinct was telling him to get her home as fast as he can. The sooner he could put this wedding behind him, the better.
Little did Romero know that his short cut would become the long way home. Some fanatical driver, the only other vehicle he had seen for miles, actually ran him off the road and drove away, leaving him and Shannon stranded out in the desert, victims of a hit and run. He vowed to get her to safety but the question is can he do it without taking her in his arms and probably getting slapped for his efforts? Or, is she struggling with memories of their passion too and would she welcome his embrace?
If asked for three words to describe She Thinks Her Ex Is Sexy, I would say, “Hot, sensual fun.” Ms. Rock took a burnt-out, ash-smoldering relationship and fanned the heat to burning hot temps. It was a fulfilling pleasure to watch Shannon and Romero finally work through their failed bond and figure out why they were unsuccessful as a couple. Their fights were almost as sexy as their passion for one another. She Thinks Her Ex Is Sexy is a relationship story that all should read and experience. Bravo Joanne, you have once again written a best seller, in my opinion.

I love when a story has a conflict that both the hero and the heroine have to rely on each other to survive. Working in tandem, they rediscover the love they have to each other. My favourite moments occurred when they were in the desert, struggling against the odds. Both characters grew a lot throughout the book. I also love reunion stories, especially ones that causes characters to rip the scab off old wounds and deal with them honestly. This book book had those elements for me.

Audio Download from Audible.com. They have an a Harlequin Blaze 12-month Special. 2 Blaze titles a month for 9.95. Wish it wasn't concentrated to only Blaze titles only...
Nice listen. Explicit content. Good writer.

The characters are shallow and paper thin. The celebrity world J. Rock is trying to present seems so unreal and there is no depth to this book.
My favorite scences were with the coyote pup, that says how un-engaging the characters were.
This one can only get one out of five stars from me.
