~Synopsis~
Everyone in
Sandy Cove knows that Willow Taylor and Max Vincent are like oil and
water. They
live to torment one another and if they survive being in the same room
together, it’s nothing short of a miracle. Sure, Willow is rich, blonde
and beautiful and Max is an achingly hot and talented up and coming rock
star—but that just makes it easier for them to hate one another!
Until one
night. One drunken night. It was just supposed to be a night of celebration
after each of their best friends’, Harlow and Cruz, were reunited. But a few
hours of civility leads to one night of unbridled, earth-shattering,
cataclysmic sex. It doesn’t help that the details are sketchy in their
minds because the off-the-charts after effects still linger. One thing is clear…that
night changed everything.
From that
moment on, sabotaging each other’s hook-ups was their primary goal until a
truce is made. A pact. No strings attached, no feelings, just more of what
their bodies crave whenever they see one another. They both get what they
want and no one gets hurt.
Until
someone does. Until love and tragedy gets in the way. The heat between Willow
and Max is undeniable but will that spark of desire be enough to sustain
them through the pain and heartache that threatens them?

~Excerpt~
I
go to her and place my hand on her shoulder, and she turns around and I’m faced
with the most unexpected thing that I think has ever happened. Willow turns
around and grabs handfuls of my shirt and pulls me to her soft, wanting lips.
She kisses me, and it’s just not a kiss that breathes lust but it breathes the
fire of passion, of meaning. It makes my hair stand on end and leaves the skin
beneath electrified. The soft motion of her mouth with mine, the scent of her
hair and the taste of her tongue dancing inside my mouth, spins me into
oblivion. There’s more to this kiss. I feel it in my bones. I feel it in my
soul. She kisses me like we are music. We are the rhythm joining together with
the notes and the melody. I grasp the back of her head and thread my fingers in
her hair softly. I deepen the kiss and I reach the point where I swim in this
moment so deep that I don’t want to come to the surface… and that’s
when she pulls away and I know I’m fucked.
I’m
so fucking fucked.
She
holds her lips with her long, slender fingers. Her eyes find mine and I’m still
lost in whatever that was. I can’t even ask her because I can’t even speak. It
wasn’t the normal wanton kiss that happens between us when we just use each
other. No, oh no, this was something else.
“Willow…” She holds up
her hand to stop me.
“Let’s
just leave it at that, Max.”
I
walk past her slowly as I hear the relentlessness of the bus’s horn and slide
open the door to her room. I turn around and she’s already back to leaning on
the rail. Her body turned to the calm waters. The sun shines down on her bare,
bronzed shoulders and the wind picks up and blows her hair around again. It’s
the last time I’ll see her in person for a while and after that kiss, my head
and something else right at this very moment doesn’t want it to be the last
time. It’s not the right time to analyze what that kiss was. Maybe it was a
goodbye kiss. A proper send off. The end of whatever we were to each other. Was
it a blessing for me to go and see where it goes with Cora? What was that? I’ll
tell you what it was. The unexpected.
“I’ll
miss you, Willow.” Not being so sure she can hear me, I say it as I walk out
the door. I leave her with my brain consisting of mush and my lips
already feeling some sort of loss.
Most
of all… a lot to think about.
~Review~
Wanna know why I always read a book by the
lovely MR Joseph? Because she will take a story line that is so serious, add in
some comedy and make you fall deeply in love with. Her books always leave you
with a warm fuzzy feeling inside. I love a great HEA and so this lady, nothing
like a well written love story and boy does she deliver. I mean, who would’ve ever
thought you would be able to love and feel anything for the brat Willow. Well
guess what, she was able to make me feel for her. At the beginning of the book
I was wearing a scowl so deep I tell you. I was trying to figure out how can
this girl become any bitchier, and then I had to continue reading. I love the
fact that she is honest and speak her mind, but sometimes she just needs to try
and filter herself because I wanted to reach into the book and strangle her. I
think she met her match with Max and that was why she couldn’t help but to
build a “friendship” with him. I loved him too, he and Cruz are my favorite
characters but he had some issues that I think he needed to deal with beforehand.
I love that him and Willow’s relationship was one that started out from them
thinking that they hated each other. Then they built something that was so damn
beautiful in the end. I love a book that leaves me smiling at the end and I get
that way every time when I’m done with this woman’s book. I cannot wait to read
Porter and Thea’s book. Hurry up and write lady.
