Richard Perillo never expected to meet the woman of his dreams in a rundown diner in Deer Creek, but when the lovely blonde waitress with high cheekbones and delicate hands handed him a menu he was snared. Ronda Reynolds was intrigued by the courteous, well dressed stranger seated at the counter, and though she already had a long term boyfriend, when Richard asks her to dinner, she finds herself unable to refuse. What happens next is fast and exciting as the two find themselves rushing headlong into a super-heated romance neither one saw coming.Richard is good looking, sweet, rich and about to become even wealthier when 100% of Perillo Foods becomes his. The world of private planes and yachts and fabulous condos is about to be Ronda’s… but not if Richard’s status obsessed mother Celeste or determined former fiancée Pamela have anything to say about it.This book has a lot going on. Love at first sight, jilted lovers turning to booze for comfort, weddings, deaths, ex-lovers who refuse to accept defeat, million dollar business deals, family secrets, naughty pajama parties, betrayal and more.  It’s fast paced and I had to pay attention to keep all of the players straight in my head, but the characters are exciting and fun, the sexual escapades are super steamy, and the story line is captivating. The drama that Ronda’s new friend Kay brings to the story was unexpected but very well done. I loved the ending as well.
