SLAMMED (San Amaro Singles #3) by Kelly JamiesonABOUT THE BOOK:  Released August 2013Brooke Lowry has a mission: fly to Tahiti, pluck PR nightmare Dylan Schell out of whatever party he's in, bring him home and clean up his image.It was her idea for Jackson Cole clothing company to sponsor the pro surfer. But the chances of saving this deal-and her career-look pretty slim when she finds the sexy party boy "shooting the curl" with two beach bunnies.Dylan is finally getting back on track, and the next big event would put him over the top...if it wasn't being held in San Amaro, where he'd be forced to watch his best friends Matt and Corey tie the knot and move on without him.He'll do anything to keep that from happening, including taking shameless advantage of a tropical cyclone-three days cut off from civilization-to distract the lovely Brooke into his bed.Despite her moment or three of weakness, Brooke won't be deterred. And suddenly Dylan finds himself facing a lot of things-his hometown, his past, and something he didn't see coming. Love.REVIEW:  SLAMMED  is the third storyline in Kelly Jamieson's adult, contemporary, erotic San Amaro Singles series focusing on a group of friends from San Amaro.  Although this is the third in the series, it can be read as a stand alone with too much difficulty although the previously storyline characters to play a small role in the premise.  This is PR rep Brooke Lowry and professional surfer Dylan Schell's story.  Dylan was introduced in book 1-With Strings Attached-Corey and Matt's story.The premise follows Brooke as she is ordered by her boss at the Jackson Cole clothing company to bring bad-boy surfer Dylan Schell in line. With his lucrative sponsorship contract hanging in the balance, Brooke knows that it is only a matter time before Dylan's late night antics and sexual adventures push the big wigs at Jackson Cole to cancel his contract. But keeping Dylan in line takes a little finesse especially when he is walking sex on two legs.  As the storyline progresses, Dylan and Brooke's relationship becomes personal and with it another round of potential problems that could lead to one or both losing their jobs.The relationship between Dylan and Brooke is hot, steamy and very sensual. Dylan is a man possessed-he wants Brooke, no matter the cost -and it will cost Brooke her heart.  But Dylan's past will come front and center when Brooke discovers that Dylan needed Brooke to play the role of girlfriend and nothing more. With that in mind, Brooke knew their time together was limited but her heart wanted something more.Kelly Jamieson has written a storyline about two people brought together by fate and torn about by jealousy.  Dylan is a man whose public persona didn't match his private hell; and Brooke is the woman to tame the beast.  Slammed is an emotional storyline that will tug at your heart for a man who wants to be loved and a woman who is afraid of loving too much.Reading Order1. With Strings Attached (January 2013)2.
