Keely has been my favourite character in the series for a long time now and I'm very glad that I finally got around to reading her story. It is my favourite in the series.
Story wise, it's very predictable. Man and woman have mutual dislike for each other but MASSIVE amounts of sexual tension. They keep away from each other only to find out if they fake an engagement, it could be mutually beneficial business wise.
So they fake-date, that have loads of really steamy sex, they eventually fall in love but are too pigheaded to tell the other. They break up and then in the end they get back together.
Predictable, maybe yes. But well worth the read.
Jack is probably my favourite hero in the Rough Riders series. He's a little more real and less stereotypical than the other leading males in the series.
The supporting cast sort of annoyed me because I didn't really feel like they had an original thought between them. The brothers did the whole "hurt my sister and you die" kind of thing going on. The ex of Jack was the typical bitchy woman who if she couldn't have what she wanted then she'd just try and ruin things for everyone else.
All in all, the story was entertaining and the sex scenes were vivid and exciting. I liked it.

Fun and sexy book, I loved Keely mainly because she reminded me of herself. This is how erotica should be written IMO, it was sexy, fun, had a good story behind it, and most of all the characters were likeable.

Definitely enjoyed this better than I thought. Both characters are really evolved and, like potato chips, I can't help but going back for more!!
