Taken by HimThis ARC was given by St. Martin's Press via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.I rate this book 3 stars.......I honestly can't put my finger on exactly what this book was missing for me to thoroughly enjoy it. The attraction between Luke and Peyton was there and it was hot several times, however it seems like it was missing the part where the reader wants to chuck her e-reader across the room. I think the happy ending came too soon in this book. As much as I hate the struggle the two main characters usually have in a book, I really think that was what this book needed.Luke Preston is a hot model and filthy (yes, very filthy with his women) rich. After being shot, his close friends encourage him to leave the country until his attempted killer is caught. He finds himself in Cancun and avoiding all women. His friends also encourage him to lay off women for awhile. He is successful until he runs (literally) into Peyton Lane.Peyton Lane is a hard working bank investor that never makes time for herself. She has escaped to Cancun to relax and to have a fun fling while on vacation. Se has three days left and finally finds the man that she can imagine having hot sex with while on vacation. She sees Luke and his glorious body and assumes he is a surfer boy enjoying the waves and easy life in Cancun.They have steamy sex for three days and their attraction grows strong immediately. After three days they both head their separate ways (which happens to be Chicago for both characters) and try to live through the withdrawals their bodies are going though since leaving Cancun. Their paths cross again and Peyton tries to fight the attraction herbed has for Luke.
