Book provided by the author in exchange for honest review.4.5 StilettosBeing a good southern girl, I love the undeniable charms of a true southern gentleman. Therefore, I had no choice to fall for the sexy, smart and dashing Teague Elliott. Teague is on the fast track to political greatness. He's making partner at a powerful D.C. law firm. He comes from a good family, at least in the eyes of the public. Everything was going as expected until a wild weekend in Vegas. When will people learn not to get drunk in the land of quickie wedding chapels?Risa Clay is a street smart beauty from Las Vegas. She comes from a messy background of foster homes, poverty, and doing whatever it took to survive. Her caring nature lands her in a sticky situation to help her bestie. Then, it get her in a stickier situation when she breaks her deal with a mob boss to save the stranger she was supposed to set up. I could help but like Risa. She has a fiery spirit tempered with kindness and love. She's not afraid to stand up for herself. But her living in the here and now got her in trouble from time to time.As the saying goes, opposites attract. Teague's and Risa's attraction is like a match to gasoline, highly combustible. I loved their interaction with one another. It was fueled with passion, but intimate and enduring. When consumed in their desire, each of them were able to forget who they pretended to be and allowed themselves to be the people they really wanted to be, including the need to be together. Wondering if I need to check out the view from the Mandarin hotel... Loved that scene!This is the first book I've read by Ms. Covington. It contained characters I truly connected with, a fast paced plot, and smoldering hot sex. It did not disappoint.
