Not only am I a Brazen junkie, but I am a Diane Alberts fan as well.  So I was very excited to get the chance to read an ARC of her latest book, Temporarily Yours. This is a "relationship of convenience" story, which is one of my all time favorite romances to read.Actuary Kayla Moriarity is not only smart, but she is hot as well. She is also afraid of flying, so knowing the mortality statistics of all things having to do with air travel as she is boarding a plane to attend her sister's wedding in North Carolina, is terribly frightening. Luckily she meets former Marine, Cooper Shillings, who just happens to provide the distraction she needs to fly without any distress.  In fact, they hit it off so well, Cooper agrees to be her fictional boyfriend for the entire weekend of wedding festivities.Within a day, Kayla and Cooper are in lust and love. Unfortunately, Cooper is deploying in a couple of days and does not want to be involved with anyone while he is away, causing them unnecessary worries.  Although they both want more, Cooper has to work through his inner demons in order to move forward with Kayla.I liked this book. It is hot, flirtatious and sex scenes between Kayla and Cooper are scorching.  However, there are a couple of things that left me disappointed.  To begin with, I felt Cooper's character lacked depth and therefore, it was difficult for me to feel connected to him.  Kayla and Cooper's relationship evolved very quickly and as a result, I did not feel their emotional relationship to each other.
