Being out of control…
The product of a rigid
upbringing, Brenna has grown into a sexy free spirit who does things her
way. No possessions, no debt, no man, and no rules to tie her down. And if she
has to work, what better way than as assistant in a wilderness expedition team?
So many opportunities to go wild.
…can be risky when you’re
falling in love.
One person who doesn’t “get”
Brenna is her boss, Grant. He prefers order and emotions kept in check, which
means Brenna loves to push his boundaries. He’d be impossible to work for if he
wasn’t so infuriatingly hot. But when his overbearing, matchmaking mother
arrives in town, Brenna volunteers to be Grant’s pretend girlfriend. After all,
it’s the perfect opportunity to drive Grant crazy at every turn.
Brenna’s just a little surprised
when Grant agrees to her wild, impulsive schemes. And she’s more than a little
surprised when their games take them to the bedroom…
Note: Although these books are part of a series, they do not need
to be read in order
Grant and Brenna both have
their issues and they both enjoy driving the other a bit insane. Especially
Brenna, she loves playing pranks on Grant and those pranks add a very fun
aspect to the story. I found myself giggling at her antics. Then these two get
together and they are off the charts hot!
They definitely have the right
chemistry but managing to mesh together into a full beautiful relationship, is
a Herculean task. Ms. Clare definitely
writes a great story and I look forward to reading the rest in the series.
I recommend this book for fans
of fun contemporary romance.
I received a
copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for
my review.
“So,” Justine said after a long moment. “How are you doing, Grant? How’s the social life? You keeping busy? Getting out?”
He gave Elise’s bag a shove,
trying to make it fit into the small trunk. It wasn’t working, so he paused,
sighed at the stack of suitcases, and turned back to the others. “What do you
mean, Mom?”
Justine exchanged a look with
Reggie. “I was just asking, darling. We worry about you and how alone you are.”
The look on Grant’s face became
shuttered. “I’m fine.”
Yowch. His tone had gone positively arctic. Dane had been right—he
sure was touchy about this sort of thing. Elise gave Brenna a quick, apologetic
look.
“But darling, you need to get
back on the horse. Get out and see new people again. You’re too young to be
spending your life a widower. I know it’s hard but you can’t go through life
moping.”
Grant glanced over at Brenna as
if chagrined that the conversation was taking place in front of her. “Now is
not the time, Mother.”
“I’ve invited Bonnie’s daughter
to dinner with us, son. I wanted to let you know before we all got to the
restaurant.”
Wow, that was bold of the
woman. Brenna had to give her props for being on the ball . . . if it wasn’t
such a dick move to pull on Grant. He needed time and space, something his
mother clearly didn’t understand. Brenna felt oddly protective of Grant in that
moment. It was clear that he was still wounded from his wife’s death.
“You invited her to dinner?”
“It’s just a little hello, son.
Nothing to get all worked up about,” Reggie interjected, taking his wife’s
side. “We both think it’d be good for you.”
“Mother.” Grant’s tone was a
warning.
Justine ignored it. “She’s a
lovely girl. I think you’ll like her. And she’s a marketing major, so you’ll
have so much to talk about. She’s very pretty and career driven and very
understanding.” His mother stressed the last word. “She won’t rush you.”
That was really a low blow.
Outraged, Brenna pushed forward. This was rude and cruel and thoughtless of
them. And if someone was going to be thoughtless and obnoxious to Grant, it was
going to be her, damn it. She was never cruel, at least.
“Don’t,” Elise told her in a
soft voice as Brenna pushed forward. “They always do this.”
“Not today,” Brenna said
cheerfully.
She stepped between Grant and
his parents. “You can’t invite this chick to dinner tonight.”
“Brenna,” Grant said, now
turning the warning voice on her.
Justine regarded Brenna for a
long moment as if sizing her up, and then smiled. “I’m afraid it’s too late, my
dear. She’s already been invited to dinner.”
“Then uninvite her,” Brenna
retorted. “Having her there is rude.”
Elise covered her mouth, her
gaze flicking to Justine.
“Uninviting her is even ruder,”
Grant’s mother replied, the smile on her face still. Her voice had
gone a little brittle, as if
remaining polite were testing her patience.
Now Brenna was getting angry.
Grant put a hand on her shoulder, trying to pull her backward and separate her
from his parents. Why was he defending them when they were harassing him? An
idea struck, and she gave Justine a little smile. “I guess this ruins the
surprise, then.”
“Surprise?” Reggie asked.
Brenna turned and put her hands
on Grant’s collar, tugging him down and kissing him full on the mouth. She
turned back to Justine, Reggie, and Elise. “Grant didn’t want to tell you guys
until after dinner. He likes to keep people guessing.”
“He does?” Elise asked, clearly
shocked as her gaze flipped between Brenna and Grant and then back to Brenna.
She glanced up at Grant, but he
was still standing there, his mouth slightly agape, staring down at her. She
leaned up and bit his lower lip, tugging on it in a sensual move of ownership.
“So shy. It’s adorable.” She looked over at Justine and smiled again, this time
a genuine smile since she now had the upper hand. “That’s why you can’t invite
this girl. She’s just going to see me and my boo being affectionate all night.”
And just to make her words have
punch, Brenna gave Grant a slap on the ass.
