MICHELLE'S 4 STAR REVIEW:
****He took charge, grabbing the back of her head and pulling her close for a searing kiss, consuming her lips, claiming her mouth, and making her dizzy with lust. His lips were soft and he kissed like a fevered dream, hot and sultry, the kind of dream that made you wake up in a sweat. That made you ache between your legs. That consumed you with want. That’s how he kissed her—like it was some kind of exquisite surrender to kissing, even in her garage, even on the hood of her car.****
We all know Miss Blakely for her sexy as sin alpha males with the panty melting, dirty talking mouths...and Travis is just like all her men, he will leave you panting and wanting more! If you like her other books, I'm sure you will love this one about a sexy Fireman who brings the heat with him where ever he goes!
Travis is a lover of Gambling, he has to know all possible outcomes, the odds of winning....with everything, including relationships. He is also a volunteer Firefighter, and ever since his father died in a fire, he has sworn off relationships. He saw what his fathers death did to his mother and figures that love was not worth the gamble. So, it comes as no surprise when he meets back up with his high school girlfriend, Cara, why he doesn't act on the attraction he still feels for her. Cara wants what her sisters have, a family. She wants a serious relationship, she wants to settle down. The summer they spent together before going off to college wasn't more than a fling, he knew they had an expiration date, but that didn't stop the feeling he had for her at the time.
Cara is a dog trainer, back in her hometown after being away at college. When she sees the sexy fireman that heated up her insides in high school, she still can feel the attraction she always felt for him. But, he doesn't want the same things as she does, he doesn't do relationships, and she wants to settle down. She still can't seem to get Travis out of her mind, though. The sexy way he looks at her, just being near him sets her body on fire reminding her of the passion they once shared.
*Excerpt* Maybe that was why he was the one guy she couldn’t get out of her system. Because they didn’t need romantic backdrops. They didn’t require sunsets or summer rains for a kiss to be spectacular. They didn’t need moonlight or shooting stars. He kissed her like a shooting star, leaving a bright burning path across themidnight sky, as his fingers grappled with her hair, and his lips owned hers.
Travis has a goal to help win the Fireman Bachelor Auction coming up in two weeks, the money won would be donated to Families of Fallen Firefighters, a charity that helps families of firefighters who lost their lives during duty, same one that helped his mom when his dad died. They really need the money to keep the charity going, a sponsor has said they would match any donation up to $5,000 so Travis has to come up with a way to make sure he wins...and he needs Cara to do just that.
Cara, who can't get Travis out of her mind, comes up with a plan of her own. Have a fling with him, to get him out of her system. When Travis comes to her about her helping to train his dog to be cute on stage and help him win the Bachelors Auction, she tells him she will if he agrees to have a fling with her for the two weeks up until the Auction and when its over, he walks away. No feelings, no strings attached, no dating, none of the things that a relations requires. Its a fling to get him out of her system, nothing more. Or is it? Can two people that have so much attraction for each other that they can barely keep their hands off each other when together ever have just a fling? Can either of them walk away when the two weeks is up? Well, I guess you will just need to read the story and find out.
EXCERPT:
But tonight, my God, it felt like anything could happen, and everything should happen. Maybe that’s what years of longing could do to a woman. She tried to concentrate on her mission—turning the tables on him, putting one over on the guys and their bet. But that motivation was growing muted and fuzzy as their bodies collided and he dropped his forehead against hers.
“I’ve been thinking about you all night,” he whispered hotly.
“What have you been thinking?” she asked, the breathiness in her voice betraying how damn much she wanted him.
He didn’t answer right away. In the span of his silence, she imagined he’d give her a sweet line, because even when they were younger, he was a talker in moments like this, always telling her she was hot, he loved touching her, that sort of thing. But it was no rote compliment that fell from his lips.
His answer was simple.

“Red.”
“Red what?”
“I’ve been wondering if red was a theme for you tonight.
If it extended across your entire wardrobe.”
If it extended across your entire wardrobe.”
She trembled, turning into putty in his hands at the implication. Damn, a few enticing words, and she was ready to launch herself at him. “You have some very interesting thoughts, Travis.”
“Oh, you don’t even know the half of it,” he said in a husky voice, low in her ear, the words sending a burst of tingles down her spine, settling between her legs in a sweet ache.
“Well, you were standing there drinking beer and thinking about my clothes. That’s a little odd,” she said, teasing him.
He yanked her body harder against him. “Did I say I was thinking about your clothes?” He wrenched back to look her in the eyes. His were full of dark intent, as if his filthy thoughts were written on them for her to read. He dipped his head to her neck, his warm breath on her bare skin. She shivered from the closeness, from the connection.
“Then tell me what you were thinking about,” she said.
“All I could do was imagine what you had on underneath this dress,” he said, fingering the slim strap on her shoulder. “And if that was red, too. If you were going to let me find out.”
