Christine Forsythe is ready to tackle her naughty little to do list, and who
better to tap for the job than a hot groomsman?
But when she crashes into her best friend’s older brother, Christine
realizes her list needs updating. And
fast. Tyler Dresco took her virginity
during the best night of her life, then bolted.
Now that they’re trapped together at a destination wedding, she’s going
to get her revenge.
Tyler has never
forgiven himself for how completely he lost control all those years ago. Being in Christine’s arms had felt
right…until he realized what he’d taken from her in the hallway of a cheap
motel. And oh, how she’s making him pay
for it now. The insatiable heat between
them has only grown stronger, but every time things heat up, Christine walks
away.
With every encounter,
things go a little bit further until Christine’s caught in her own trap of
seduction. And before their time’s up,
Tyler’s not the only one wanting more…
I loved the beginning of this book, but the middle and the
end left me wanting. Tyler and Christine
reconnect with a bang as Christine literally walks right into Tyler at the
hotel. Both of them are there for the
wedding of Tyler’s younger sister, Kady, who is Christine’s close friend and
former roommate. We learn that
Christine lost her parents her freshman year in college just months before she
lost her virginity to Tyler in Mexico, immediately after which he ran away
leaving her confused and naked in the motel hallway. She has never forgiven him for that, and as
it turns out, Tyler hasn’t forgiven himself either. I was fine with the book up to this point,
but then Christine decides that maybe it is time for a little payback so she
decides to make Tyler want her and then walk away. I felt this was immature especially as he
makes it clear early, and often, how much he has beaten himself up for his
choice over the years. I also felt that
this story was rushed as it took place over the course of a few days and I just
didn’t believe that these two were in a secure enough place at the end. Tyler was the stronger character in my mind
and the one I liked more. Christine
annoyed me at times with her revenge plot and using other people to try to make
Tyler jealous. I felt that was petty and
uncalled for. I enjoyed portions of this
story and am interested enough to read about the other couples in the series as
glimpses were given throughout this book.
I really wanted to love this one, but it was only okay.
