She thought the night was over until her friend decides to go out dancing and drag her along. What happens after that surprises even her. Rio Slade enters her life and the things he does and what he makes her do will heat up the sheets and blow her mind.

This was a quick, hot read. Desiree is a single mom, but her kids are grown. Her friend has been trying to get her to get back out on the dating scene. She meets a mysterious, sexy man at a night club. They have a one time fling but he still wants her and she is unsure. He continues to wear her down and she finally gives in. It was perfect for just a quick, sexy read.
Holy crap yes!! I love that we have a female in her 40's a little in the thick side but still looking for some sexy fun. I wish this book was longer. I need more like this.
A widow finds love in unexpected places. Low self-esteem keeps her from dating, but Rio won’t take no for an answer. Sexy story, definitely for over 18.
I wish there was a bit more conflict. Rio pursues Desiree, who takes a while to come around, but eventually gives in. Also, it could have used an editor. Has much potential for a longer story, perhaps a series.
I really enjoyed reading this book, it was very sexy and erotic. It was short and lacked more of a story line but still found it very good and found it was written well. Would have loved it if it was longer but I still found this hard to put down.
Thanks quill and ink for letting me read this in return for a honest review.
Sexy, erotic quick read. Young widow, fortish, meets younger, hot man. Widow is plus sized, has body image issues, is lonely and guilty at thought of meeting, dating, bedding someone not her husband. Lonely, she agrees reluctantly to go out with bff Cammy and meets Rio. Fireworks ensue, panty melting encounter brought on by Tequila. Recomended over 18. Would like to see more character development, make me want to know these characters for more than their body parts. Hot read.
I got an ARC of this book from Quill & Ink.This book is one of the most realistic book I have read. This is about a woman finding someone for herself after her husband passes away. Everyone wonders if they will find love again after the husband/wife passes away. I am looking forward to reading other books by this author.
Finally! A story about a woman who isn't in her 20s, thin, and beyond beautiful. She isn't 100% comfortable with her figure since she has curves, either. These things made this story, and Desiree as a character, so much more relate-able for me. It had the perfect amount of passion and sexy scenes, and it was a nice blend of reality slapping you in the face and fantasy to make you dream. I also love that Rio is not only younger but extra sexy, too. I wish it had been longer because I wasn't ready for it to end. This was a wonderful read, though, and I highly recommend it for an afternoon escape.
This is quite an interesting short and sweet story. I like the two main characters: the female has body image issues, while the male tries his best to tell her she is beautiful. Hope there is a book 2, so we can find out more about these two.
Desiree is a curvy widow with two grown kids and full of insecurities. She found Rio, a younger man, who makes her look at herself in a new light and makes her feel sexy and desirable. I just wish the book was a little bit longer
I didn’t realize this was a short story. This was pretty much one day full of sex, not my typical reading. I liked Desiree and her ability to overcome her fears of being with someone else. Good for Desiree.
the transition between one scenario to the next was a bit shaky but this was a hot little short read. being a bigger woman who was made to feel sexy and comfortable with her body by a desired masculine male is quite a nice dream to have
This is a fab, fun, hot & sexy short read that is well written and has fab characters. I loved the fact that the main female was in her 40's and not skinny like in most erotic stories and enjoyed reading this in one afternoon! Definitely an 18+ read but so worth it!
this book was short. i guess what im saying is that it lacked more of a story line. i get its about a woman who is a plus size and older. she meets a younger man who wants to change her mind. thanks quill& ink!
Who doesn't love a quick and dirty read? Combine that with a female lead who's in her forties and a romance that's steamy, HOT, fun, and a little taboo - it's the perfect mix! Des doesn't think her plus size body is sexy and she's struggling to move on from her past and the loss of her husband years prior. One sexy impulsive night brings the strong, dark, handsome, sensual Rio into her life and what follows is a story that will set your kindle on fire! I enjoyed this one quite a bit and couldn't give less than 5 stars for the great story. A win for me!
