(The Steeles at Silver Island #3)


BLURB

He’s set on pleasure, but she’s all business. Sizzling chemistry and a surprising connection set this sexy love story in motion. But is it enough to last forever? Find out and fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles.
Archer Steele is one of the leading vintners on the East Coast. He’s arrogant, aggressive, and has never been interested in settling down, which is what makes his hookups with his sister’s beautiful blond best friend, hair and makeup artist Indi Oliver, the perfect escape. But Indi’s toying with moving to the island, and when she ends their no-strings trysts to focus on her business, Archer isn’t ready to let her go…

Not my first read by the author, she is a very top favorite author of mine and I have read almost all of her books! And there is a variety of them! That said, I was a little nervous about this one because the hero is played part of his twin-brother’s book and it was sad as well as frustrating for me. So, when this came along, I jumped on to read it right away. It was everything I expected it to be coming from a play-boy hero! Too bad he finally met his match, in our case THANK GOD he did, the heroine dishes it out equally. They both may be a lot alike than they think!

I honestly couldn’t think of a better song for this book. I could listen to it on repeat while I read this, GAH my heart! This book truly will frustrate you as much as make you fall in love. Now I have mentioned that the hero has a twin-brother who has his own book and they are sort of intertwined (you’ll see when you read it, I am not spoiling anything even the pain) he is very much the anti-hero with a big heart secretly under all that.

Hero and Heroine need to navigate not only their own guilt they are carrying heavy on their shoulders but also each other. It’s all fun and games until lines are crossed and feelings that are unfamiliar surface. I loved watching it unfold, even wanted to smack her her really hard a few times. What he lacks in relationship experiences he definitely makes up in physical. But that isn’t always enough. You also get great side characters from the previous books in series and the interconnected ones. I can’t wait to read more. This one is OFF THE CHARTS SEXY so don’t read this say at the gym like I tried!

BLURB

Ariel Devlin is a high-powered advertising executive with ambition and too much stress. Desperate for balance, she enrolls in a yoga school to teach her certain lessons. Breathe. Stay calm. Be in the moment. And ignore her sexy yoga teacher who is becoming a major distraction…
Grant Madison runs a yoga school and lives by one code: don’t get involved with the students. But when Ariel walks into his studio, his resolve begins to crumble. He offers her a deal: a secret affair while in the studio, and the practice of tantric sex in the bedroom. But when lust turns into love, Ariel and Grant are forced to make a difficult choice. Can Ariel reject the career opportunity of a lifetime for the possibility of love? Can Grant ignore his past and take a chance on the future? Or will love be too high a price to pay for both of them?

“Ask me to stay, Grant.”

-Ariel

Not my first time reading this author, it’s a 50/50 for me with her and I was very excited about this, but unfortunately it was not my favorite. I don’t tend to love the ‘fling’ tropes and I thought well I’ve read this author before and wanted to give it a go. It was a heavy doze of fling and I don’t like it because it tends to be in the fine line of hero or heroine dating or seeing other people. Although this was a quick read and very very steamy I will say that! Also, NO EPLIGOGUE and that kind of made it even worse for me.

We have the hero Grant  a Yoga Instructor and owner of the company and the heroine Ariel who is a normal hard-working woman who only dates suit-guys. In comes Grant who offers her a ‘fling’ with no strings attached, they already have a chemistry between one another, why not indulge. They play on that line a lot of times, it’s exciting new and thrilling to Ariel and even thought it wasn’t easy for her to open up like that, she was starting to really like the outcome. The only thing now is; will they both be able to walk away like nothing ever happened? More like will they be able to step from the hidden into the world together!
