At eighteen years old, Logan Anderson broke my heart, pocketed my V-card, and left our island home without a trace. Twelve years later, he's back in Topica Bay, fully grown and a walking temptation I'm positive I can resist.
No, really. I can totally ignore that suit sculpted to his body like a second skin. I can ignore those luscious lips, and watchful eyes, too, because the domineering man he's become bears no semblance of the carefree boy I once loved.
But when the group home I volunteer for is in danger, and my struggle bus takes a hard right into Going Nowhereville, I'm left begging him for a job I have no business taking.
Hard to say if it was my quirky charm or dropping a box of vibrating unmentionables at his feet that sealed the deal, but next thing I know, I'm trading bare feet and freedom for high heels, pencil skirts, and begrudgingly calling him my boss.
He says there's no end for us—that I'm his and I always will be. But no amount of seduction can make me forget what happened all those years ago. There's no more us, and the quicker he comes to terms with that, the better.
My Review: Penelope (Pen) is a hoot, I love her. She's dressed up for an interview but has to squeeze this date in first. Then drop off cookies and then interview. Date was over just as quick as it started and her grabbing another girl for this date was just something fun and refreshingly different to see happen. Instantly you just love Pen. She is just wonderful, is so loving and caring to kids and wants to work to make sure they have a great to place to live by trying to help bring the home more up to date.
The interview though, that was nearly perfect until Logan walked into the room. No need to light a fire under Pen, she couldn't get out of that office fast enough. Spit some words out to Logan and out that door leaving behind that job, Logan's insane offer of even more pay, but nothing can get her to work with him. Or is there???
Within the first 3 chapters I was hooked.
This book was so wonderfully done. They really were meant for each other and the journey to get themselves there was simply done right. Truly refreshing from the other romances I've read (though it has been mainly dark romance lately) and it's got me wanting to dive into Loren's other books.
Its one of those series that you know is going to end up tugging at your heart strings and wishing the story didn't end.
