Everyone in Cedar Creek, Texas, knows Jack McNight is an arrogant devil. Physically, I get it: he’s tan and fit, with coal-black hair that’s clearly been scorched by hellfire. Oh, and his personality? It burns just as hot.
When I show up on the doorstep of Blue Stone Ranch, I’m run-down and rockin’ my last pair of underwear. I’m hoping for a savior, but instead, I find him.
My opinion of Jack is marred by a dismal first impression, but his opinion of me is tainted even before I arrive. He’s heard I’m a spoiled princess there to take advantage of his goodwill. To him, I’m more trouble than I’m worth.
Our button-pushing banter should get under my skin. His arrogance should be a major turn-off. Problem is, devils are known to offer their own form of temptation.
Every one of his steely glares sends a shiver down my spine.
Every steamy encounter leaves me reeling.
Sure, it could be the Texas heat messing with my head, but there’s no way I’ll survive the summer without silencing him with a kiss and wrestling him out of those Wranglers.
Who knows…going to bed with the devil might just be the salvation I’ve been looking for all along.
I started and finished this book in less than three hours. It was exactly what I needed—a fun, fast-paced, enemies-to-lovers escape.
R.S. Grey hit the sweet spot with Jack and Meredith’s story striking the perfect balance of heart and humor. From the very beginning, I was hooked.
We meet Meredith hours after walking out on her husband, leaving a life of lights and luxury behind in California. Now, she’s in Middle-of-Nowhere, Texas, counting the last of her dollars, wearing and carrying everything she has left.
She made a difficult call to the half-sister she doesn’t know very well, asked for a favor and is hoping she can survive a job at Blue Stone Ranch. But when she gets there, feet blistered and hanging on to hope, she doesn’t expect everything that is Jack McKnight.
He’s a gorgeous, dark-haired devil, arrogant and mean, under the impression she won’t last a day on the ranch. To him, she’s a spoiled princess, killing time before she runs back to her rich husband.
Jack doesn’t know anything about her, anything about her marriage, and she’s determined to prove him wrong.
Sparks fly every moment they’re together. Every run-in is a battle of wills. But as the days pass, and the small Texas town warms to girl looking for a new start, Jack is seeing things with a whole new perspective… especially as their volatility turns into a chemistry that may be too hard to ignore.
I loved the angst, the tension, the sweet and the sexy. Addictive and well-paced, it’s the perfect book to get you out of a reading slump and kick-start reading-by-the-pool-with-a-smile season.
