Wow! Another Brazen book that totally lived up to Brazen’s reputation for hot alpha males and witty heroine’s! From start to finish, this story about Lilly and Nate was awesome! A definite 5 star book! When I finished this one I was in all "dreamy sigh" mode.. :).We met Nate and Lilly in the first book in this series, No Strings Attached… which was a novella. Nate is brother to Jace and Lilly works with Hayden and are really close friends. It’s not necessary to read the first book though .. you just catch a brief glimpse of them in book one. Lilly is snarky, hilarious, fun, gorgeous, and takes no crap off of anyone. She is probably one of my favorite Brazen girls ever.. Ok, although she’s seriously attracted to Nate, she can’t stand him. After a night of some of the best sex of her life, Nate took off the next morning while she was still asleep without a note or a goodbye.. just a wad of cash for the cab ride home. Needless to say, this hurt Lilly and pissed her in a major way. It a perfect world, she’d never have to lay eyes on the sexy marine again.Nate…Nate…Nate.. that man is just sin on a stick. So fine, so alpha, and a total jerk. He’s also emotionally wounded. Yep, we’ve got a military man carrying around some baggage from a tragic loss while in battle overseas. His one night with Lily was enough to let him know that if there was ever a woman that could tie him down it would be her. But Nate thinks he’s not good enough for her and he’s too stubborn to take his shot at happiness. He knows it was really crappy the way he left Lily after their one night together but he did what he felt he needed to do…Well here’s where the fun begins.. Hayden and Jace are getting married.. after a storm coming into the area cancels all flights out..Jace instructs Nate that he needs to drive Lilly up with him. Of course, neither Nate or Lilly are happy about being stuck together in his truck for a 15 hour drive.. Nate just wants to get it over with and Lilly just wants to kill him. Lilly figures though.. since Nate left her high and dry, she’d at least tempt him and show him exactly what he left. She’ll wear her shortest dress and look killer and drive him crazy.. and she does a damn fine job of it.But a bad storm turns a 15 hour car ride into a much longer drive that means several days and NIGHTS together. The sexual tension was just through the roof with these two..they would fight constantly , but there was always a very high level of attraction that neither could deny. They would fight and then both be so angry that all they wanted to do was rip each others clothes off .. Well.. there’s only so much tension a body can take before they finally explode with some of the best angry sex ever. These two were like fire and ice, but when they hooked up they were totally consumed with each other.. it was HOT.. it was CRAZY HOT.They realize they are both crazy about each other… but Nate struggles to go of all his baggage and let himself be loved by Lilly. Lilly definitely has her work cut out for her with Nate after she realizes he’s not the complete jerk she thought he was. Sure, he’s very opinionated and bossy and can still push all her buttons, but she does the same thing to him. Nate wants to ring her neck one minute and then kiss her silly next. They just can’t keep their hands off each other.I love love LOVED seeing these two come together and of course there’s and HEA with an absolutely awesome epilogue. I loved everything about this story from page one until the end and I cannot wait for Nicollettes next book. Don’t let this one pass you up, especially if you are a fan of the Brazen and Entangled publishing titles like me because this book is exactly what most of us love about those books. A great story with lots of steam and an amazing couple that were just made for each other.Such an awesome story!!!
