One word: Wow!
Robin Covington’s writing is superb and I was panting for more by the time the book was finished. This book had everything you’d want from a romance novel. Sexy, enticing, with just a little bit of dirtiness to make you feel all hot and bothered. With a very sexy male hero that made me weak at the knees and a heroine that was sweet and honest but just kept getting herself in the wrong situation, it had the perfect recipe.
I’m a sucker for a southern gentleman and Teague sure as hell portrays my perfect idea of one. He knows what he wants and works hard to get it, but when life takes a turn and surprises him for the worst, he tries to handle the situation, but he doesn’t get a hold on it. Not surprising, since it’s kind of a big surprise to find out you married a Vegas showgirl on a drunken night out with your buddies.
Risa is a feisty redhead, who not only dances as a showgirl, but also owns a business selling tasteful “marital aids”. Not really the kind of career to have when your new husband wants to President someday. Risa is a very personal character, she’s amazing but her life is a complete mess. She appealed to me on so many levels. She’s a good person and she really goes out of her way to try to make things right. But when the marriage they’ve kept a secret comes out in the open and she starts to fall in love with Teague, everything turns around. Teague doesn’t believe he is capable of loving anyone and I don’t blame him after how his parents’ relationship turned out.
The storyline was perfect, the suspense kept me going and the loves scenes were steamy. I’m struggling to write this review, because I know it won’t do the book any justice, but here I am, trying my best to convey into words how amazing, how fantastic, and how satisfying it was to read it.
