 SYNOPSIS

I didn’t mean to see him naked--it was an accident.

It had to be, right?

Because Noah McCormick and I have never been anything more than friends. In all the years I’ve known him, he’s never once laid a finger on me. And even though he was a cute lifeguard at 16 and a hotter-than-hell sheriff’s deputy at 34, he's always been that protective guy I could trust to keep his hands to himself. I never wanted to mess with that.

Until I walked in on him getting out of the shower and saw his hard, muscular body totally bare and dripping wet. At that moment I never wanted to mess with anything so badly in my entire life.

I should have covered my eyes. Said I was sorry. At the very least, I could have handed him a towel.

After all, I was only in town for a few days, and he was just doing me a favor by escorting me to my sister’s wedding. It wasn’t a real date.

But I didn’t apologize. And he didn’t cover up.

(Talk about a hot mess.)

After all those years of being just friends, suddenly we’re insatiable.

He’s made it clear he’s not interested in romance. Which is fine with me because I’ve got a plane ticket back to my real life at the end of the week.

It’s all in fun...or is it?  


Well, I guess Meg would think of Melanie Harlow's books as Twinkies, comforting and nice though I'd like to throw in some of these Shishito peppers that she mentions that once in a while pack an extra fiery punch or two. Some spice, some sparks, some major chemistry right in the middle of all this comfort and loveliness. 

I loved the first books in this series but maybe I like Noah and Meg's story even better than the others. I'm not sure yet but this book had it all, it was cute and warm with lots of romance, chemistry and don't forget about those sparks, those two have those in heaps!
Noah and Meg have always been close ever since he saved her life in High School but they never explored their chemistry.

When Meg comes back home to lick her wounds after another failed relationship, things change and what-if might turn into that's-it - if it wasn't for Noah and his fears. When his ex-fiancée left him in the dust after his father's death he was devastated and things never got serious after that again. Till now. It takes him some time and I must admit that I got a bit impatient with him because he was so hung up on his past and his fears - and suddenly everything changed and I felt like screaming "Finally, fi-na-llyyyyyy!".

Once again I loved the secondary characters like Noah's twin brother Asher and their relationship. I loved how close those two were and on the other hand, I also loved to see Asher fight for his independence, for a life of his own. He will always need some help but he can still do so much more than his family with all their love expect him to do and let him do.

On the whole, this was another wonderful book in a series that I really love - and if you haven't read the other books, trust me, you'll want to go back and read them even though this can be read as a standalone.

EXCERPT

Sawyer?” I said in disbelief.

Breaking into a huge grin, she started to run.

I was still standing there in shock when she barreled into me, throwing her arms around my neck. She smelled fucking fantastic. Feminine, sweet, delectable.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, trying to hug her back without getting sweat or paint on her. “I thought you didn’t get in until Thursday.”

“I changed my ticket.” She let go just enough to smile up at me impishly. “I’m glad to see you too.”

I laughed. “I’m glad to see you. You just surprised me is all.”

“That was my plan.” She stepped back, and I figured my odor was probably repulsing her.

“I stink, sorry. I went for a run earlier and I never showered. Then I painted the garage.”

“I never mind the smell of sweat. It means hard work.” She brightened. “Will you run tomorrow? I’d love to go with you.

“Sure. We can run tomorrow. I’m off again.”

“Great! Although I’m probably way out of shape.” She made a face. “My work schedule is so crazy, I don’t run as much as I used to.”

“You look great,” I told her. And it was true—she did look great. Maybe not quite as skinny as the last time I’d seen her, but the added curves looked good on her. My eyes wandered without my brain’s permission to her slightly fuller chest and rounder hips. Quickly, I attempted to look at her face again, but then my gaze lingered on her mouth. I remembered what it had looked like the other night in my fantasy as she’d wrapped her lips around my cock and moaned like it was the best thing she’d ever tasted.

My dick twitched beneath my running shorts, and I cleared my throat. “You’ve got a favorite murder? Is there something I need to know?”

She glanced down at her shirt and smiled. “It’s a podcast about true crime. I’m addicted.”

“Never heard of it.”

A sound of exasperation escaped her. “You live under a rock! I can’t believe you’re still not on social media.”

“Yes, you can.”

“Okay, I can, but it makes it really hard to stalk you.”

I shook my head. “People like you are exactly why I don’t want to be on social media.”

She hit me on the shoulder. “I’m kidding! I just want to keep up with your life. I miss you.”

“So come home more often. Talk to my face.”

She grinned. “I do like seeing your face. Want to go grab a beer? Maybe some food?”

“Sure.”
