Jamie McAdams expected it to be an open and shut case of embezzlement. The finger seemed to be pointed right at Andi Morrow, the quiet young lady who ran the daycare center at his godfather’s plant. Of course, she didn’t exactly have access to the cash, but she did live seriously outside her means.
Andi smelled like vanilla, tasted like sex, and moved like sin. It only took a few days for Jamie to realize he was hooked, and she was being framed. But maybe he should have told her that, before they used her as bait to catch the real embezzler.
Jamie always gets his man, even if it means coming in last with the woman he’s fallen in love with.
Of all the ebooks I read on our mini-vacation last weekend, this one was my favorite. Jamie was such an alpha and seeing how he fell for Andi was just so sweet to read. It was something that basically hit him over the head and happened before he realized. Through it all, he was deceiving her in a way that he knew would hurt her.
As usual, there is some smokin’ hot sex. The chemistry before the sex, though, that was some heady stuff.

“I want your wife.”
In the past twenty years, Joel Lockhart had crossed a lot of lines on his quest for vengeance. But this was a new one. He was demanding exclusive sexual access to another man’s wife.
One look at Tracy Grainger though, and he couldn’t stop himself. She was battered, beaten, but not quite broken—not yet. He made the demand of the crime lord with every intention of seeing it through. Anything to get her away from her vicious husband.
He never expected to fall in love. When he looked into Tracy’s eyes, he felt something stir in the emptiness of his heart. An emotion that was unknown to him. It didn’t take long for Joel to realize that he is willing to give up everything to have her, to hold her, to keep her safe.
But the price to stay with her will be high. Staying with her might require letting go of his quest for vengeance. Giving up his need to put his sister’s killers in the ground. Joel has to decide what is stronger—his need for vengeance or his need to have Tracy with him always.
If Coming in Last was my favorite of the weekend, this one was my least favorite.
I was immediately hooked by the opening. After that, I was just in disbelief. I just didn’t really feel Joel and Tracy. Again, lots of hot sex, but I just felt removed from the two of them. I don’t know if it’s b/c I read it right after Coming in Last.
As a battered wife, I really admired Tracy and how she escaped. She left on her own, with very little help. Even though she had fallen in love w/ Joel by that point, she didn’t wait for him to help her. There is a small paranormal aspect that worked well for me until the end.
