Blurb: Leslie thought she had it all, until Chris showed her the rest.


Another move and a bigger paycheck are all Leslie Teague depends on. Living the ‘no strings’ attached lifestyle has always worked for her…until she arrives in Phoenix.

She doesn’t like bad boy types of men, so why can’t she keep her hands off Chris Matthews, who also just happens to be her new neighbor?

Content warning, this book contains a fulfilled fantasy, adult language, and a life saved.

Review: Perfect. From the first words scrawled across the page, I was hooked. I loved the set up. Chris doesn’t come off as charming or even likeable, but damn he’s hot and I melted right along with Leslie. But first impressions aren’t always accurate. Chris is total hero material. He’s solid, sexy and honorable. Leslie is strong and independent and isn’t inclined to ask for help from anyone. I loved her spirit and tenacity. The chemistry between Chris and Leslie is intense and intoxicating. I was just as drunk on lust. The story is engaging from the beginning. The pace is fast and furious and the sex is scorching. Once the final page was turned, I wanted more. The story just continued to develop, more depth and understanding of the characters. The pivotal moment was surprising and the conclusion was touching. This is a story to savor as it’s revealed. Enjoy. I certainly did.
