Well...I had no idea I was so parched, but good golly did Jace quench my thirst. Jace was one magnificent, huge, tall glass of sexy water! I really loved this wonderful debut by Isabel Lucero (cue audience applause). I was sucked in by just the first chapter alone. A hot mysterious foursome with a dark sexy stranger...I think I should continue reading right? I love when a book just dives right in without holding back. That first chapter from Jace's point of view hooked me right away, so I firmly believe the rest of you readers out there will undoubtedly be sentenced to the same fate. Adrienne and Jace's story is refreshingly different and undeniably hot! Fair warning...be prepared to have your insides liquify to a pile of goo.The sexy innuendoes and banter that Adrienne and Jace shared throughout the book was a delightful treat. It was a knee slapping good time reading some of their back and forth cat-and-mouse chases to top one another. Adrienne is a successful event planner who was burned by her ex-boyfriend that kissed her best friend Emily. She has been on quite a dry spell and has decided to let the tall, blue-eyed "God-like creature" to somewhat coerce her on a wild ride after holding her phone hostage. She has an incredible night  with him, but doesn't let her mind trick her into believing it was anything more than the best explosive sex of her life. She has seen him around at other events and clubs with several different women, so she is on to his player ways and has stubbornly decided she wants absolutely nothing to do with it. "Player" may just be an hugely understated label when it comes to this particular man...oh my, she has no idea what's coming.Jace has had a rough upbringing and wanted to change his life for the better. He never wanted to feel the way he felt in his younger years and was determined to make something of himself in any way possible. He fell into the escort business and became very wealthy and successful at it. He thought he was living a happy fulfilled life until he met Adrienne. He finally wanted to be in a real relationship with someone, but knew he could never do it while still being an escort. He was working with two of his fellow escort friends on opening a club and took that as the perfect opportunity to leave his former escort life behind. Now free from his past entanglements, he had to find a way to tell Adrienne about his past profession and hope that she will stick around afterwards. He keeps putting it off in order to show her his real self in hopes that she will feel their connection. How long can he continue to put it off before it becomes to late? Can he make sure to tell her first before someone else beats him to the punch and ruins everything he had his sights set on? When she finally finds out, will she be able to forgive him?You know from being able to read from both perspectives, how he messed up big time with his approach at unloading his escort baggage. That being said, you can't help but fall for him and root for him like a crazed fan. He is such a lovely combination of sexy alpha male and swoony heart melting goodness. The way he delivers their "first date" had me drowning in an abundance of long drawn out signs and googly eyes to annoy even the most patient of people. I adored their connection and the story line was captivating at the same time. I truly appreciate it when an author delivers great secondary characters in their story. Especially when the secondary characters have their story told in the next book in the series. Mrs. Lucero does a fantastic job of incorporating Troy and Emily's relationship in there without taking away from Jace and Adrienne's story. This provides a great foundation for you to connect with these characters for the next book. I also thoroughly enjoyed Adrienne and Emily's friendship. They were a hoot and showed each other great patience and support with each other's love problems.This book had a little bit of everything I enjoy in a good romance novel...hot as sin sex sessions, great witty dialogue, and a refreshing storyline with great characters. I would definitely recommend this steamy read to my fellow readers. The epilogue was a great yet frustrating *pounding fists in the air* tease for Troy and Emily's story. I anxiously await the next installment in this series. Superb job Isabel Lucero!For more juicy details and reviews find me at: [...][...]
