her best friend Georgia comes up with a plan that becomes more and more
brilliant with each shot of tequila.

Weston. Once Evan discovers the reason for Danielle’s vacation, he won’t let up

the wind and her panties to the floor.
But
it’s never just sex, is it? And Evan Weston isn’t just any man. He isn’t just a
movie star.

Weston is Danielle’s last resort.

Excerpt:
A brunette a
few barstools down from me in a neon green one-piece that had square holes cut
out up her ribs giggled. She tucked one side of her short, angular bob behind
her ear. “I swear I saw him,” she whispered to her friend, a skinny blonde with
a tattoo of a rose on her lower back.
I swallowed
a gulp of my icy drink and continued to listen to their conversation.
“I’ve heard
he comes here sometimes, but isn’t he dating that model? Miranda something?”
Tramp Stamp replied.
The brunette
shook her head. “No, he was married to Kimberly Jackson. He dates just about
anything with tits, usually models, but he hasn’t been linked to anyone in
months.”
The blonde
chirped a laugh. “Stalk much?”
“I’ll freely
admit that I keep tabs on Evan Weston. And if he happens to be staying here, my
stalking could get me the ultimate
hookup.”
The two
friends swatted at each other playfully and laughed before strutting over to
the pool. Evan Weston. My mouth went
dry. No fucking way.
Because of
my lack of experience one might think I also lacked fantasies, but it was quite
the opposite. I might’ve been locked up tighter than the president’s panic
room, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t get down to business with myself. I mean,
a girl’s gotta fall asleep. I knew what an orgasm felt like thanks to my
battery operated pals and I knew what kinds of things turned me on. Dirty
dreams came to me every now and then and I had a number of books on my e-reader
that I wouldn’t show my grandmother. I used to think that was how I could
loosen up for my boyfriends—for Kyle. Read something sexy, have a glass of wine
and then voila! Presto-sex-o!
Nope. My
logical brain was too many steps ahead of me every time I tried to trick my
anxiety away. Kyle wasn’t the hero. He wasn’t the sexy, gruff alpha male
written on the page and he wasn’t one of the celebrity crushes I conjured up in
my mind on the nights I felt so frustrated I thought I would explode.
But Evan
Weston was.
My Review: 4 stars
This was a great, quick read. I really liked how Evan treated Danielle, taking the time to get to know her. showing her that she was a special person. Because I don't think any of her previous boyfriends had done that enough. I enjoyed the story line, and the characters were definitely unique. Danielle and Evan had quite an adventure together. I can't wait to see what book two brings for Danielle and Evan.
