BLURB
All I wanted was a break–two weeks off from being Pixie Hart, country music sensation, and fourteen days of peace, privacy, and solitude as plain old Kelly Jo Sullivan.
But thanks to some overzealous paparazzi, my family refuses to let me go anywhere alone, and I’m stuck sharing this tiny cabin with a tall, dark, and bearded stranger.
And guess what? There’s only one bed.
Well, he can couch it.
Xander Buckley might be hotter than a stolen blow torch, and I get that he’s a former Navy SEAL and all, but the man gives new meaning to the words overbearing, overprotective, bossy alpha male. I can’t even post a photo on social media without him warning me it’s not safe, or take a morning jog without him following behind.
But he’s made it clear that what he says goes, and if I don’t like it, I can kiss my vacation goodbye.
Instead, I end up kissing him.
I don’t even know how it happened–one minute we were at each other’s throats, the next we were at each other’s mercy. What’s even more shocking is how good we are together. He understands my need for freedom, and I understand his need for control.
But emotional trust doesn’t come easily to me. And we’re on two completely different paths.
Without question, I’d put my life in his hands.
Just don’t ask me to give him my heart.
I just wanted to feel normal for two weeks, and normal did not include an ex-Navy SEAL lummox following me around, watching every move I made.
ARC REVIEW
I adored Kelly and Xander from the start. From the banter, to the tension, to their insane chemistry.
Kelly is looking for a break from her country star life and really just wants to be herself and not Pixie Heart. However, given she is a celebrity her brother think that she shouldn’t be alone…enter Xander. From the start Kelly was annoyed with Xander but there was also a level of attraction.
The chemistry between Xander and Kelly is off the charts and I loved it. In a short amount of time they gave into their connections and from that moment on sparks were flying between them. I love how well Kelly fit into his life in Cherry Tree Harbor and with his family, too.
If you’re looking for a forced proximity, bodyguard/celebrity, small town, strangers to lovers, brothers friend romance check this one out.
