Monica Michaud lost her virginity to rape while she was still a teenager. For ten years she stayed away from men, can you blame her? Finally in her late twenties she trusted a close family friend to be her friend with benefits, this allowed her to experience consensual sex, through this and therapy Monica started to feel better about herself, but he moved away a year ago.  Monica’s depression and OCD due to PTSD was starting to come back so her sister took her to a bar for girl’s night out.Victor Ciccone is in his mid-thirties, has recently retired from the military and “His ice blue eyes burned with fire…”.  He’s not looking for complications and he won’t make promises, but he can’t help himself when he sees Monica at the bar. He knows what he wants and it’s her under him in bed or against a wall either will do. He’s honest with her saying “Don’t fall in love with me. I’m pretty busy. I don’t want entanglements, arguments, or drama…”Victor is very upfront, a little too upfront for me. The first night they meet he tells Monica that the next day he “… will take you to diner, take you home, and I want to be crystal clear about this, then I am taking you to bed.” I almost dislike Victor because he seems a bit arrogant to me, but boy does he deliver. The sex in this book is HOT. Like an ice bath won’t help you hot!!Victor has secrets and Monica is willing to take what he gives but for how long? At first I was mad at Monica for taking the scraps Victor was giving her, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with the story. Victor defiantly has issues but honestly who doesn’t? Monica has issues from her past too but she is willing to try anything at least once and this amazes Victor. She is a strong woman, which is not common in literature, so that right there is a huge plus. I highly recommend this book and give it 5 stars and 5 (or more) hands down the pants!!“His heart had been ice, but now he burned for me.”
