Carrie Drummond is excited to spend a fun, relaxing weekend at a mountain cabin with her friends--a last hurrah before they all graduate college in a few months. But when the power goes out and the only other person to make it through the snowstorm is the one man in the world she hates, she thinks the weekend is ruined.
But her so-called enemy has other plans.
Bryan Grant always ends up with his foot in his mouth around Carrie, and he's determined not to let their night alone go to waste. But will the uptight, lawyer-in-training be able to convince the paint-stained artist to give him a shot?

EXCERPT:

“What plan? What are you talking about?” she managed, after another drink of wine to clear her throat.

“Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed. All the time the four of us have been spending together the last few months. And now the weekend away to the romantic cabin.”

“They’re trying to set us up.” It all suddenly made sense, and she burned with embarrassment that she hadn’t picked up on it already, like Bryan had.

“Yep,” he said, but to his credit he didn’t add that she was slow for not realizing sooner.

“But that’s ridiculous.”

“Is it?” he asked, but she could hear the smile in his voice.

“We’re like oil and water. If oil and water annoyed the crap out of each other in addition to not mixing well.” She drank down the rest of her wine and set the glass on the coffee table between them. “Sorry, but come on.”

“Don’t worry, the feeling is mutual.”

Something inside of her twinged at his words. It wasn’t that she expected Bryan to like her—they annoyed each other far too much for that—but her pride didn’t care to have it spoken aloud. And he was a very attractive man, well-built with a chiseled jaw and the sharp features of an old movie star. If he’d keep his mouth shut for five minutes he’d make good eye candy.

And if she was totally honest, she’d thought about him far too often. Not about being with him in any real way, but there was something about the cruel set to his mouth, the way his eyes watched her sometimes, that made her wonder what it would be like with him. Different, she was sure, than it had been with the other men—boys, really—that she’d dated in school.

“That’s not to say I haven’t fantasized about you.”

Her throat went dry when he voiced her thoughts as if he’d plucked them right out of her skull, and she wished she hadn’t drank all of her wine. She swallowed hard, but her voice still came out weak, hesitant.

“You have?”

“Oh yes.” His glass chinked as he set it on the coffee table. And even in the darkness she could feel his eyes on her. Watching. Waiting for her reaction.

Images ran through her mind. Bryan’s cruel grin replaced a look of ecstasy when she touched him. His body covering hers while he thrust into her heat. Bryan’s eyes, locking on hers as he whispered pretty words…or dirty ones.

It was a terrible idea to delve into any fantasies he’d had that she happened to star in. Terrible. But she couldn’t seem to stop herself.

“What have you fantasized about?”

“Do you really want to know?” His voice deepened, and she squirmed in her seat.

“Yes.”

“I’ve thought about how it would feel to have your wet lips wrapped around my dick while I fuck that smart mouth of yours.”

She gasped, but he didn’t pause for her reaction.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

Those looking for a little afternoon delight will get just that with this sexy vignette featuring the theme of opposites attracting. Bryan is very regimented and appreciates order whereas Carrie is the artsy type with a carefree nature. Bryan and Carrie may have rubbed each other wrong in their dealings with one another in the past, but after this super steamy encounter they find an unexpected connection. Bryan learns to appreciate taking a walk on the wild side while Carrie learns he's not as uptight as she once thought. This is a quick read that may not be thought-provoking or earth shattering, but it is entertaining and does leave you with a smile on your face thinking about all the naughty possibilities in the future.

My rating for this is a C+

AUTHOR INFO:

Andie writes sexy erotic romance and erotica stories that push boundaries. When she’s not writing (or reading!), she can usually be found daydreaming or attempting a new recipe. She thinks that life should require happily ever afters. And since she doesn’t make the rules of life, she instead applies this philosophy to the worlds she can control–the ones in her books.
