Meeting in a Las Vegas bar and grill, Rachel Cooke, is extremely attracted to the handsome Scott Rader, as he is her. As the night moves on their attraction grows. Rachel takes Scott up on a casual remark he makes that like her, he too, is only interested in getting to know her and if she happened to be sitting naked next to him, he wouldn't lay a hand on her. This leads them to spend a sexless night, fully naked in her Hilton hotel suite, a test of his resolve and character. In reality, Scott has no idea of the sexual adventuress that lies beneath Rachel's demur, delightfully perky persona and after a wet hot passionate interlude in the shower, the following morning, all hell breaks loose and they wind up making love everywhere. Even in the depths of Hoover Dam.
I got this as a kindle freebie and was looking forward to reading it. While there was a lot of graphic, hot sex, I just couldn't get into this book. The story was ok, but not great. There were just enough inconsistencies and weird side notes to make it difficult to finish, and the writing style wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. The way Rachel's attempted and actual rapes were treated bothered me. Furthermore, I am open to dirty, explicit sex talk, but some of the prose just seemed vulgar and unattached (the way one might describe sex with a stranger or sex between third parties rather than two people so in love that they marry within a week). On the other hand, maybe it's just not my style. I made myself finish the book, and I'm glad I did. But I'll be crossing this author off my to-read list, which is disappointing because after reading this book I looked at some of the reviews of her other books and I may have just picked the wrong one to read.
I don't know what to say about this book. the characters were odd and the story and reactions were just not believable. what girl wants to have sex with her significant other a few hours after getting out of the hospital for being beatened and raped? I only read this book cuz it's free on amazon.
