Ms. Parkes has penned a story that intrigued me from the start. A young woman moves to a small town to get a much-needed break from work and past disappointments. She meets the local bad boy, one who never stays with any woman long. In fact, hero Ash makes a habit of taking "summer girls" and "winter girls."When Ash meets Lily, the tables turn, and he is at a loss to explain his unfamiliar feelings for her. Could it be he's feeling something other than sexual need? The sex between the characters is hot, and the reader gets a true sense of the heady passion which forms the basis of their relationship. As Ash begins to suspect he might be in love with Lily, he is struck by terror. This is not a man who loves easily. I found myself wondering a lot about why Ash was the way he was, and would have enjoyed some perspective into his treatment of women. I kept wondering at whether there was some horrible experience in his background, but I think he is a handsome man who has just always had women fall into his hands.It was good to see Ash get his come-uppance and I was happy the relationship was resolved. There is something inherently satisfying in seeing the bad boy get his.
