Fiction. Romance. HTML:

When the new girl in town, Eliza "Izzy" Forrester decides to hit the local drinking hole, she's not ready to meet the town's good, solid guy. She's definitely not prepared to engage in her very first hookup with him.

Then Izzy wakes up the next morning in Johnny Gamble's bed and good girl Izzy finds she likes being bad for Johnny.

Even so, Izzy feels Johnny holding her at arm's length. But Johnny makes it clear he wants more and Izzy already knows she wants as much of hot-in-bed, sweet-out-of-it Johnny Gamble.

Floating on air thinking this is going somewhere, Izzy quickly learns why Johnny holds distant.

He's in love with someone else. Someone who left him and did it leaving him broken. Whoever was up next would be runner up, second best. Knowing the stakes, Izzy will take what she can get from the gentleman that's Johnny Gamble. And even knowing his heart might never mend, Johnny can't seem to stay away from Izzy.

Until out of nowhere, his lost love comes back to town. He's not going back, but Johnny still knows the right thing to do is let Izzy go.

And Izzy knew the stakes, so she makes it easy and slips through his fingers.

But that's before Johnny realizes Eliza moved to town to escape danger that's been swirling around her.

And that's why Johnny decides to wade in.

That and the fact Eliza Forrester makes breakfast with a canary singing on her shoulder and fills out tight dresses in a way Johnny Gamble cannot get out of his head.

I Absolutely
and Thoroughly
Loved This Story!

Ms. Ashley's propensity for extensive descriptions was under control in this one.
Which led to no repetition.
Upped my enjoyment.
And allowed me to really enjoy the 2 main characters.

I loved Izzy and Johnny!
They were off the charts fantastic characters.

Izzy had me laughing and grinning and sometimes just 'Feeling the peace of being surrounded by those we love and love us back.
Serenity. That is how I would describe Izzy. She had the ability not only to be serene in who she is, but to share that with those around her.

Johnny often made me swoon with delight.
He didn't hem and haw over how he felt for Izzy.
Once he made his decision he went whole heartedly into Izzy.
The problem was everyone else & Izzy herself.

This is one of the most beautiful and delightful 'Adult' romances I have ever read.

The intimate scenes are over & beyond 'Hot, Steamy & Super Melt My Heart Romantic'.
And both MC's totally ROCK!

There is a dash of mystery & suspense.

Characters from both Johnny & Izzy's past crop up.
You know something is going to happen.
You just don't know from what corner.
And when it finally does......
A complete and total surprise.

There is so much to this story.
Heartfelt.
Beauty.
And characters you connect to so easily you feel that connection
all the way
to your
Bones.

I highly recommend this one! ( )

This book was okay but not great. I liked the idea but it would have been stronger if the hero had still been or thought he was in love with the OW but he was really totally done with her from the beginning and so that angst was just not there. There wasn't much conflict. I was wrong about who got kidnapped at the end but not that it happened. I did feel like her ex being an abuser was unnecessary since that story line went nowhere and added nothing to the story. Overall just meh. ( )

I can see now why this book keeps popping up in my GR feed. Adorable characters. Awesome, steamy writing. Just the right amount of drama. Excellent pacing. I love Johnny and Izzy. And all the pets? Yes please. This opens with, you guessed it, a hook up following a night at a bar. Izzy finds out Johnny had a hard time getting over his ex. Of course, her creepy stalker ex wasn’t too cool, so can she really fault him? But when his ex comes to town, that throws a wrench into what might be forming between them. Except, the chemistry is too hot to ignore. This is slow burn amazing-sauce. Can’t wait for book two!

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

My heart

Anything this author writes manages to sink deep. However, this book was even more special than the others. I connected with the characters. I found myself getting emotional and choked up. Izzy, and all that she stood for, made me feel to the depths of my soul when she talked about her mom and childhood. Add in on of the sweetest make characters, that was grumbly and a typical KA man, but was soft at the same time. Not sure how she was able to do that but she did.

One of my favorites from this author. ( )

The first thing I would say about this book is don't be put off by the blurb. I was. The blurb is incredibly misleading, it makes you think the heroine will end up being second best as Johnny has already lived and lost his 'one'.
Although I love KA, I know this is possible because of Ham/Cookie and Beautiful(Feb) and although KA denies it, it is how alot of people felt and I didn't want to read another one of those.
And it made me think that he would be with Izzy then go back to his ex when she returns to town and then back to Izzy, so a love triangle.
In her Rock Chick series the girls usually had another option other than their Rock Chick guy but there was no past relationship with that person so thinking of Johnny returning or pinning for a past love I didn't want to read that.

I just want to make clear to anyone thinking of reading this is that at no time despite where his ex is does Johnny ever want to or consider going back to her.
Basically he is just damaged by his relationship with Shawna and feels esp with her returning to town that he can't emotionally commit to Izzy.
There are some aspects of this book that are brilliant, typical KA but some things I would have liked to have seen and felt were missing.
I wanted to witness a show down with Johnny and his ex but we hear this third hand through a retelling.
In some ways this is clever. It leaves more for if KA writes the ex's book and also Johnny has a thing that he doesn't want his ex to encroach on his relationship with Izzy.

Both Johnny and Izzy have their ghosts, from their past relationships and their childhood. Some of this is sad and emotional.
There is lots of potential in this series. There is Izzy's sister, Johnny brother, there is a policeman who has a brief scene, Cary I think.
It is not as long as her previous books and I think maybe she held back on some things to cover them in future books.
I did feel we could have had more from Izzy and Johnny some things felt left unsaid, maybe they are not going to be issue but they could have been and that makes me feel I want more.
But with more books to come who knows I guess it's watch this space. ( )
