Book Description:
The last time Piper Ross saw her best friend’s sexy older brother, Jase Simmons, he was being taken away in handcuffs. Seven years later, two things haven’t changed: Piper is still head-over-heels in love with him . . . and Forrestville’s chief of police—Piper’s dad—still hates his guts. So when Piper sees a chance to get close to Jase, she makes her move—literally. As his new roommate, and as the office manager of his tattoo shop, Piper won’t be satisfied until Jase knows that she wants to be his.
The quintessential good girl, Piper is pure temptation for Jase. The only reason he’s always kept his distance is because she’s the last person he’d ever want to hurt. But once he realizes that Piper is ready to take the leap, everything just makes sense. Suddenly Jase feels like a new man—until nasty rumors start swirling and Piper’s heartless father stirs up even more trouble. Now Jase must convince Piper that she wasn’t wrong about him . . . because falling in love never felt so right.
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
“Her short
pink skirt and white sleeveless top make her look exactly like dessert. Like some kind of erotic Neapolitan
sundae. My favorite kind of ice
cream. Mostly because I’m a greedy
bastard who doesn’t think I should be confined to one of anything.”
“Most days, I
feel like wallpaper – there for only decoration. There to look pretty and inoffensive.”
“At five feet
eleven, Rowan has the looks of a supermodel and the mouth of a sailor – two
reasons why Seth is attracted to her.”
“It’s unfair
really, to have a parent so beautiful on the outside while simultaneously
hideous on the inside.”
“A man who has
the face of an angel and kisses like the devil is my man, and not just any
man. Jase. The guy I’ve loved since I was fourteen.”
“You’re my
world Piper, and I made a promise that no one would take that away from me.”
“His hard body
with its tattoos is a feast for the eyes.
I swear he could be his own man candy page on Pinterest.”
My Review:
This was my
first date with Marquita Valentine and I could kick myself for being so slow to
notice her before - as it was love at first sight. I was instantly snared and totally invested
in her tale before finishing the first page, she definitely has skills and has
put them to good use. I was absorbed by
the story and resented any interruption while reading this sweet and steamy
love story of a good bad boy and a sweet neglected rich girl. Sure, it sounds like it’s been done before –
but not like this. The writing was
insightful and emotive from a dual point of view – which I highly enjoyed. The love scenes were sensual and deliciously
steamy, and the relationship was sweet and satisfying. I adored the characters and enjoyed watching
them evolve. I believe I would live happily
ever after if I could clear my calendar and only read her work for the rest of
my days.

As a teenager, Seth O’Connor went to jail for a crime he had nothing to do with. He took the fall to protect the girl he loved, but the cruel realities of prison hardened him. After doing his time, Seth shuts her out and enlists in the Marines—until his grandmother’s funeral forces him to come home and face Rowan Simmons once again. The woman she’s become puts all his high-school memories to shame, and Seth wants her more than ever. Can he be honest about why he denied her for so long?
After Seth pushed her away, Rowan swore that no man would ever hurt her again. But the boy who broke her heart has become a sexy Marine, capable of fulfilling her every desire—and now that he’s back in town, old feelings are simmering to a boil. Rowan wants to stay strong, even as her body surrenders to his expert touch. She only hopes that by taking him back, she can finally help heal the wounds that drove them apart.
