This was a nice way to spend my day.

Gabe and Madison have known each other for years. He's her brother's best friend. So, when Madison decides she needs a rebound fling, she picks Gabe cause he's hot and she knows him. gabe resists for a while, but he realizes Madison is just the woman he needs, all while protecting her from a robber who is out to kill her.

I LOVED the action and the Espresso Bandit plot! It was great! And the conclusion to it had me cheering. What I didn't love was Madison. Now ...more

I think I'm being generous with the 3 stars. The story started out fun, but by the end all of the I-didn't-speak-up-and-tell-you-how-I-feel-and-now-you-hate-me misunderstandings got super old. And for a smutty book, the sex stuff kinda bored me which isn't really a good thing. I did enjoy a lot of the banter between the main characters, and I give the author credit for having an actual storyline. If you enjoy romantic suspense novels, this is probably one you'd enjoy. ...more

This was adorable. I just loved Gabe and Maddie together. All the false starts and all the misunderstandings didn't do anything to detract from the feelings they obviously had for each other. I was so happy for the HEA but was sad that things ended so soon. :P

This is my first Shellii Stevens book, and I think I'll definitely check out more of her stuff. ...more

One of my biggest pet peeves in romance is when one of the main characters doesn't take "No" for an answer. Usually, it's the guy who has that problem but here is the woman! The hero clearly says no but then she takes her clothes off and jumps on his lap! Then when the guy gets her off but refuses to go all the way, she gets mad at him!

Can you freaking believe this?

Note to women: respect goes both ways. Just because a man gets an erection DOES NOT mean that he would or should have sex with you. ...more
