4.5 OH. FUCKING. MY. STARS!!!!!! My goal is to make you smile when reading this review, because I smiled so much in this book, my cheeks hurt!!!!What are you doing right now? Well, stop it and read this book instead!!!This book is for YOU.Sexy. Sweet. Heart-warming. Bossy. Dirty. This book made me FEEL. I sigh into the welcoming silence, grateful for the chance to escape, even if only momentarily, from the mindsuck of the meaningless conversations on the other side of the door.That is the first sentence. I was sucked in from the beginning. This author can WRITE!!!The story is about Colton and Rylee. Both are broken. Both feel an undeniable, aching pull toward each other. They meet behind stage at a charity function, and their first meeting will take your breath away! Yes, this book is Panty-dropping hot! But it’s also sweet! There are so many MOMENTS in this book. You just have to read it!!!My Colton:Rogue. Rebel. Reckless. Colton is a famous race car driver. He is a bad boy, and he knows it. The man can talk dirty. The man can fill out denim. He had a rough childhood and was adopted when he was five. He is very mysterious about his past. He keeps Rylee at an emotional distance because he knows he is not able to love and doesn’t want to hurt her. My Rylee:Rylee is a social worker in charge of The House, a home for 7 young boys who would be lost in the foster care system, if Rylee was not there to care for them. These moments with these boys are so endearing, you may have a few tears. Rylee struggles with moving on, with guilt. She has already loved and lost, and she fears falling for a man who can just fuck ‘em and chuck ‘em. She also keeps Colton at a distance because she is afraid of getting too close. She isn’t a crazy runner, but she keeps the walls up around her heart. Rylee leads with her head instead of her heart. She is a thinker and is constantly doubting her heart’s pull toward Colton.I love all of the music references. Colton and Rylee communicate through music sometimes by texting songs with lyrics they want to say, whether they are fun, serious, or just damn sexy!A slow, seductive ballet highlighted with breathy moans and panted whimpers.WARNING: This book causes spontaneous melting!!“I. Do. Not. Take. What’s. Not. Offered. And we both know, sweetheart, you offered,” he smirks. “Willingly.”Can cotton candy be sexy?? Colton teaches us that it can!!!!I want to build you up nice and slow and sweet like you need. Push you to crash over that edge. And then I want to fuck you the way I need to. Fast and hard until you’re screaming my name.ARE YOU SMILING YET?????Yes, there is a major cliffy at the end of this book, but the next book is out already, so you can start this one now while I go read Fueled!!!Thanks for the buddy read Irene and Rae!!!
