Summary
Summary
Rachel Gibson, New York Times bestselling author of Rescue Me, returns to Texas with a tale of what happens when a tough guy meets his match--and falls harder than a ton of red-hot bricks . . .
There's nothing like fleeing Miami to ruin a girl's day.
Stella Leon's bartending gig was going fine until gorgeous ex-Marine Beau Junger decked her mob-connected boss, spirited her out of the city, and claimed that Stella's half-sister--the one with the perfect life--sent him. Now Stella has no choice but to go along for the ride . . . and seduce
Beau's military-issue socks off . . .
The Marine Corps was Beau's escape from his old man's legacy of naval heroism and serial philandering, but no amount of training could prepare him for the day he looked in the mirror and saw his father staring back. The answer: swear off meaningless sex. Oh, and find a way to make Stella Leon quit being so damn hot . . .

Library Journal Review
Stella Leon (nee Estella Immaculata Leon-Hollowell) is a good bartender-and in Miami, that's saying something. But things are a bit too hot in Florida now that her Mafia-connected boss and his goons are after her. She didn't even know the guy in the black T-shirt and baseball cap who clocked Ricky was in the club's parking lot. Now, she has to get out of Dodge, and Mr. T-shirt is going to drive her-all the way to Lovett, TX, to her half-sister, Sadie. Sadie didn't know she even had a sister until their very wealthy father died two months ago. Ex-marine Beau Junger only came to Miami as a favor to Sadie's fiance, Vince, who fought with Beau and Beau's twin brother, Blake, in the Middle East. He was looking for love when he decided to be sexually "on the bench" eight months ago. Is the lust he feels for Stella strong enough to derail his plans? Can a 28-year-old virgin be that inventive? Verdict Having two protagonists abstaining from "going to the bone yard" is an intriguing premise yet it doesn't prevent Gibson (Rescue Me) from turning up the heat in this spicy romance of supposed opposites definitely attracting each other. It seems there is still a lot one can do when one isn't "doing it." For most romance readers.-Bette-Lee Fox, Library Journal (c) Copyright 2013.
