Oil and vinegar... Black and white... Mild and spicy... get my drift? Harlow and Cruz... opposite sides of the proverbial "tracks". He is a man-whore and is proud of it. She has had one lover and is going through a particularly difficult time after their break-up.A chance encounter at a bar; Harlow wants to show her ex she has moved on after seeing him kissing a new conquest; Cruz is drunk; Harlow is drunk; there is a handy ladies' room and the rest is a mind-bogglin' sex encounter never to be forgotten.A year passes and Harlow and Cruz are thrown together again. What started as a lusty encounter evolves into a friendship with a promise for more. This is not easy... they banter and fight like the best of them. They are so different!I loved this book. It reminded me of my college years and the love/hate relationship I had with some of the boys who eventually became my best friends. Sometimes the chemistry works in a fierce way and makes such a reaction in you that you fight it and the person making you feel this unusual passion/fury inside you. You fight this unknown force by busting his b*lls every time you can. What appears to be banter is really foreplay. Neither of you wanting to admit the attraction and need to meet in the middle.This story is not without pain. As Harlow and Cruz mature both in their thinking and their relationship, life throws some heavy duty obstacles their way. Please be forewarned... this story ends in a cliffhanger ...to be continued. It is my hope that M.R. Joseph will not make us wait too long for Book #2 in this series. I need to know what happens next!!!
