I really hate it when it's not disclosed that a book isn't a reprint.  This is a re-release of a short story that was originally included in an anthology,Down and Dirty, in 2007.  I only figured it out around ten pages in when things started to sound very, very familiar, so you might want to check out the original product listing to see if you may have read this book before.The plot is basic: firecracker Remy has had the hots for her brother's best buddy Jason for years, but he's kept himself strictly off-limits, enlisting in the military and pushing her away every chance he could.  Now he's back in town with shocking news: he wanted her all along, but didn't think she was ready for him, but now he's gunning for her.  It's Rhyannon Byrd, so you know hot, steamy sex is next, and lots of it.  This is a pretty short story, so there's not a whole lot of plot, beyond a surprisingly hilarious stalker side story; the stalker isn't funny, but the surfer dude who plays a big part in it is really hysterical, you'll be hearing Keanu Reeves in your head for hours afterwards.Byrd is one of those authors you can count on to deliver consistency; she rarely writes a story that doesn't involve some serious erotica (so readers beware) and a deliriously happy ending.  Her characters are fun, larger than life and if you're in the mood for all of those things, than this is an easy book to recommend.
