Synopsis
When Knox Wellington opens the door to Charlie Davenport, he's not expecting the fiery brunette with whiskey colored eyes and a feisty personality. Sparks fly immediately, even though their initial meeting is nothing but hostile. Their chemistry is undeniable, but the chip on Knox's shoulder threatens to destroy any hope of him wooing the sweet, southern volunteer sent to help with his rehabilitation.
Little does he know she's no Southern Belle, as she gives as good as she can take. As unexpected circumstances push them closer together, heads butt, patience is tested, and flames ignite as they dance around their mutual attraction, both of them jaded from broken pasts.
They've both been burned before, so when their feelings of lust, desire, and wanting are inflamed in the heat of the moment, will they finally be able to get over the pain of the past or will their relationship be reduced to ashes before it can ever really begin?
*While this book is a standalone, characters from Ignite, book 1, will appear in Knox's story.

Excerpt:
Following
after her, I find her bent over in front of the refrigerator holding the door
open and staring at the contents inside. The way her ass is sticking out
unleashes something inside me, and I go semi-hard just from watching her. I
instantly feel the need to show her that I’m not some weak, damaged man. I walk
up behind her and grab her by the waist, turning her around. Kicking the door
shut behind me, I push her to the island, and if I thought I could get away
with it, I’d be pressing myself up against so she could feel what she’s doing
to me. She’s staring up at me with confusion in her big, brown eyes, and I
wonder what the hell I’m doing.
“Hop up,” I tell her, and she complies immediately, surprising me by not fighting
it.
I place my hands on her knees, spreading them and stepping closer to her so my
hips are between her legs. As best as I can, I take a hold each one and wrap
them around my waist, and she involuntarily tightens them around my middle,
although her ass is still firmly planted on the counter. This isn’t how I
imagined her legs wrapped around me for the first time, but I can’t deny that I
don’t love the feel of her gripping my waist tightly.
“Arms around my neck, Charlie.” The confused expression on her face deepens,
but she does as she’s told.
“What are you doing, Knox?” she asks, looking up at me, her face only inches
from mine.
Swallowing hard, I ignore her question and bring my forehead to hers. “Just do
this for me, okay? Don’t fight me on it. Just this once. I need to do this.”
She nods, and I’m not sure she knows what to expect, confirming it when I pull
her off the counter. Gasping, she starts to struggle, and I have to brace
myself against the counter to keep from falling. Jesus, this woman is so damn
defiant, and it can be both sexy as hell and annoyingly irritating.
“Knox, what the hell?! Put me down!”
Fuck, I know I should probably listen to her, but I’ve gotten to this point and
I’m not stopping until I can prove to myself that I haven’t completely lost all
of my strength. She’s not exactly heavy, but her struggling is making it
difficult to keep my one good arm around her as I make my way down the hallway,
heading into the guest bedroom. Somewhere along the way she stops struggling,
apparently having given up and figuring that it’s just easier to let me do
this.
I’m slightly out of breath by the time I get to her bed, and I’m more than
happy to release her from my arms. Relief washes over me when she plops on the
bed, bouncing once. Whether the relief is from having been able to do it or
from having freed myself of her weight. Either way, I’m fucking ecstatic, and
even though I’m breathing heavy, it was a small victory for me and my bruised
ego.
I begin backing away from her because I know the verbal assault is coming, and
I don’t blame her, but I don’t regret it.
My Review: 5 stars
Tessa sure can write. More than that, she writes about things near and dear to my heart: Our Military. This is the first book that I've read from her, but it won't be the last. I loved every single page of this book. You couldn't tear me away from the moment that Charlie dressed down Jace for apologizing for Knox. I knew there would be some serious sparks going on when Charlie showed up at Knox's door the next day and was confused as hell about what was going on, but determined to be professional about it. I was right. This is one hell of a story, that I'm happy to have had the opportunity to review. Read this book, it gives you a glimpse of what our military goes through, and the people who love them too. It's going to be a pleasure to go back and read Ignite, and I certainly can't wait for the day that Inflame (Explosive #3) comes out.
