Again with the Hot Cover and that title! Oh how I really wanted to Love this story.Well I really hoped to love this story as much as the first,I cant say that I did.Thomas Jones has come to Vegas to win yet another account for his marketing company. But when he sits across from beautiful and sensual Brianna Faulk to deliver his pitch, his desire to leave Vegas as quickly as possible is replaced by the need to get close to her. Yet she resists hischarm.Thomas is the heroines brother from Try Me so we get a little of them in this story.Brianna knows a date with Thomas could jeopardize her job, but he's so maddening and insistent, she has a hard time denying him just one date. But that's all it can be: one date. Because she has to protect her job and her secrets, even if it means giving up a chance at a life she never thought she'd have again.All sounds great and promising... yeah it did and started out pretty great and promising also... well then it kinda flopped for me.Brianna is a widow with three kids. This is were the story kinda went down hill for me. I know kids, I think most people who have kids, or who have been in the situation of introducing a new boyfriend to their kids will be turned off a bit by the reaction of the kids. I know kids can be really friendly but forming a bond right away in less than TWO WEEKS time is just not normal.Not after losing a father they loved.Their attraction is fairly instantaneous, and though they get off to a rocky start they are both pretty eager to give in to temptation. There are a few hot scenes, and then the part that I have issue with.If their situation had been spaced out over a few months instead of two weeks, I could have believed things a lot more easily.The story did progress smoothly,their relationship still felt rushed.There are a few parts that I had even more issue with all that again concerned the kids.Brianna had no Idea if he was even staying and yet she took him to meet her kids,that right there is just No! Her oldest is a teenager and has a attitude and Thomas tells her to let him handle it and she lets him! Again NO! really come on now what women would allow some stranger to deal with her child?? Just again NO!Then there is the biggest issue I had where Brianna takes her kids to spend the night with Thomas's sister so they can have a night together.Again NO! Had this been more than a span of 2 weeks again I would believe it but less than 2 weeks? again NO!I really just think the whole story could have gone another way.So while this could have been a great story also,I dont want a short sexy read to involve some real issues that actually pissed me off! Im looking for a smexy read.Light and fun with maybe some heart felt romance but nothing like this.So Over all it wasnt a terrible story and maybe some will really love it.But as a mother I just couldnt get past the bad judgment this character made.
