About the book:

He wants her soul. Too bad she already sold it.

Family is everything to gambling den darling, Teresa Valentini. Blood comes first, especially before men. So when her brother lands himself in hot water, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to save him. And showing up topless in her unwitting savior’s motel room is turning out to be the furthest thing from a hardship…

Will Caruso is the bad boy of New York’s financial scene…and he just found out the very thing that drives his success is a damn lie. Now, he’s exchanged his high-stress life for the open road, no one but his Great Dane…and half a million Instagram followers to keep him company. When a mysterious beauty arrives, her secrecy prods his suspicions, even while she tempts his lust to the breaking point.

Teresa met Will under false pretenses, but the bond consuming them is real. They’re strong enough to overcome a little betrayal…aren’t they?

EXCERPT:

“Here we are.”
My face heats over being caught even imagining such things. We’re at my door and I have no recollection of entering the motel. Come on, Teresa. Stop letting this guy get to you so bad. “Right.” I fish for the key card in my pocket, but cease all movement when Will brushes his fingertips down my arm, then trails them back up. Slow. And all the while, he invades my space, eliminating inches at such a leisurely pace that I’m panting by the time our mouths are a breath apart.
“What are you going to do when I close this door behind you, Teresa?” He grazes my bottom lip with his teeth, making me gasp. “You going to get undressed in front of the air conditioner, thinking it might cool you down after teasing my cock for over an hour in the bar? It won’t. I give you five minutes before you’re face down in bed, riding your own fingers.”
My knees threaten to buckle. “That’s my business.”
“Make it mine.”
Mayday. Mayday. “Will—”
He stops my admonishment with a drugging kiss, his tongue stroking in and out of my mouth. His hands grip my elbows, lifting me up on my toes in desperate degrees, meshing our bodies, our lips, until I’m moaning, letting him have rough intercourse with my mouth. Just when I’m on the verge of giving in and begging him to take me up against the door, he steps back, eyes glittering, wiping away the moisture on his mouth with a wrist swipe. “I’ll be out on the balcony. If you’re going to finger yourself in my honor, I want to listen.”

MY REVIEW:

4.5 stars

****

 This was a really good book! This is Teresa and Will's book. Teresa's younger brother is forced to work for a mafia crimeboss. In order to save his life and help get him out of the mess he has gotten himself into, Teresa agrees to do a job for the boss. Will is the boss's son. He is on a roadtrip around the country with his dog. The dog is dying and Will wants to make his last days happy. The boss wants Will to stop his roadtrip and come back to NY. So he sends Teresa to "run into" Will and convince him to come back to NY (but she can't tell him his dad sent her). Teresa is willing to do anything to save her brother, but she doesn't count on the instant connection she finds with Will. She joins Will on his roadtrip and falls in love with him and his dog. Can she convince him to go back to NY and save her brother? And will he ever forgive her when he finds out she lied to him?

Tessa Bailey is a master at writing chemistry between characters! Her chemistry beats 99% of the other books I read. I just love her work and she is fast becoming a favorite of mine. This book is her first indie book and it is just as good, if not better, than her other books. I loved Will and Teresa. They were both amazing, complicated characters. And holy hotness! There was perfect together with scorching chemistry and connection. They waited awhile after they met to actually sleep together, but they got very creative in the meantime. I had one little niggle- that being that Teresa, raised in Staten Island, NY, was able to pass herself off as being from California. I just wondered if she didn't have an accent to give her away! But that didn't bother me too much. There was just so much good going on in this book- road trip adventures, an adorable dog, fun, sexy times and an awesome couple falling in love. There's a little suspense and some family drama too. 

Overall, this book is gold. Every book I read by Tessa Bailey gets better and better. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

About the author: 

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days. Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention. She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of ten years and six-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.
