WELL, MAYBE ONE MORE TIME...I think that I would buy this book solely for the cover - but I got it to read in exchange for a review.  But the cover?  Just sayin'.  "Just This Once", by Trish Jensen, is a contemporary romance with the quintessential bad boy meets good girl.  However, in this case - is the good girl REALLY "good"?  And is the bad boy REALLY "bad"?  It's a case where Shannon needs to learn not to judge a book by its cover (um, unless it's this one) or to worry about what others will think, while Rick learns that it's okay to demand respect - especially when it's earned.Shannon, a small-town minister's daughter has lived her life in the moral spotlight.  She's left Pennsylvania to work in DC as an outreach from Penn State but what she really wants is to be inspired by PASSION and have an illicit one-night stand.  She picks a neighbor, Rick, who looks & dresses like a drug dealer for that role because she's taken in by his "bad boy" persona.  But Rick really isn't a bad boy - he's actually a wealthy, self-made Vice cop who mentors at-risk youth.I've read books by Trish Jensen before & have really enjoyed them - and I really enjoyed this one!  It was sweet, sad, funny and so enjoyable that it made it a good read!  Go check it out - highly recommend!
