When Jill Delaney is passed over for a coveted promotion she impulsively quits her job - and regrets it immediately.  With few employment prospects and no savings to speak of, things are looking pretty bleak.  To top things off she manages to dent a car in the supermarket parking lot. The car's owner, Ethan Cooper, may be good looking, but he's wound too tight for Jill's taste.  Besides, he seems to have taken an instant dislike to her which was not helped when Jill inadvertently insulted his mother.  Some guys are just so...touchy.Ethan is still reeling from a cheating ex who managed to bankrupt him before she divorced him.  The last thing on his mind is romance, especially one involving the ditzy (but undeniably hot) blonde who had a major meltdown in the parking lot.  Nope, Jill Delaney is definitely not on his agenda - it's too bad that certain parts of his anatomy haven't gotten the memo!But there's nothing like a senior bus trip to Orlando to make a little no-strings-attached vacation sex seem like a good idea.  After all, what could possible go wrong????This is a short read - novella length - but there's plenty of story packed into it.  Jill and Ethan are fully developed characters and (as usual) Shannon Stacey creates a realistic male lead who dodges most of the romance novel stereotypes.  Ethan's exterior may scream "handsome but dull - a little uptight" but in the bedroom? - well, that's a totally different story.  This guy is hot, hot, hot - even if it does make him blush... and I just loved that!I liked the chemistry between Jill and Ethan and their dialog was well written.  There's a lot of humor, which was nicely done and there's a scene with Ethan and his mom on the telephone that made me laugh.  When it comes to "mom", most men are really just little boys at heart.I've read several books by this author and I have to say that she turned the heat up a notch in this one.  There's explicit sexual language and content, which is nicely balanced out with believable characters and a fun and humorous storyline.  So if most of your road trips this Summer have been spent entertaining bored kids and scouting out the next rest stop, then treat yourself to this sexy little vacation romp.  I promise nobody will be asking "are we there yet?".
