Book Summary:

Theo Silva. Rowdy bull rider. Notorious ladies’ man. Scorching hot trouble wrapped up in a drool-worthy package.

And he’s looking at me like I might be his next meal.

But I’m almost free of my toxic marriage and have sworn off men entirely. So all I see when I look back is temptation served up with a heaping side of heartbreak.

The man is hard to trust—and even harder to resist.

Make that impossible. Because Theo is persistent. And no matter how hard I try to freeze him out, he melts my icy exterior and pulls apart all my defenses.

Over a drink in a small town bar, I blurt out my deepest, darkest secrets. Then I spend the singular hottest night of my life with him.

He worships my body. He makes me blush. I come alive beneath his hands.

Then I tell him to forget it ever happened. I want simple, and with him it all feels complicated.

It was supposed to be a one-time thing.

A secret.

But that little plus sign is going to make this secret impossible to keep.

(Summary from Goodreads)

“Sometimes things just happen, and you don’t realize how right they are until you’re in the thick of it.” 

Review/Thoughts:

When we first met Winter at the beginning of this series, I was convinced I wouldn’t like her or her book. Boy was I wrong. I loved her character and related to her so much. I knew I would like Theo as soon as I read the “woof” in Powerless. I adored Theo’s character. He is charming, sweet, and easy to like.

Winter and Theo have such great chemistry. This book did such a good job addressing flaws, trauma, and showing that if you really want something to work, you’ll make it work.

“It strikes me that perhaps I’m not an easy woman to love, but Theo does it so effortlessly that I feel like I could be. Like I deserve to be.”
