Gray Prescott races cars for a living and had made himself a very wealthy man. He has a group of best friends, loves his mother and sister, but he really hates his politician father. The two have been estranged for over a decade. When his father makes a bid for the White House, Gray finds himself back in his father’s life.

Evelyn Hill is an aide for Gray’s father and she is assigned to help him get votes from Gray’s fan base. She wants a future in politics and this job will help with that. She just has to find a way to get this father and son back on speaking terms.

I love this series and I have been anticipating reading Gray’s story since we met him in Garrett’s book. I liked both of the characters but all the scenes having to do with Evelyn’s political stuff just wore me slick. I was bored with it and that upsets me because I’m a HUGE Jaci Burton fan. I did enjoy the reconciliation between father and son. It was heart warming. And speaking of warm, the love scenes in this book were frequent and blistering which I do love so much. I will continue to read these books but I hope the next one is engrossing.

“You should put a shirt on when we’re not doing therapy.”
“Why?  The less I wear the more comfortable I am.  I put the shorts on as a courtesy to your virtue.” (location 346, kindle edition)
 
Reid is a MMA fighter at the top of the sport.  He has an injury he needs to rehab fast in order to be ready for his next fight.  He’s pleasantly surprised to learn his new physical therapist is his best friend’s little sister.  They were like family to him and it’s been a long time since he saw her.  
 
Lucie is very happy to see Reid, too.  She’s always had a crush on him and has followed his MMA career.  She’s not a fan girl, though, and she takes her job seriously.  
 
Because Reid wants round the clock attention, he talks Lucie into taking some personal time off work to attend to him.  In exchange, besides paying her, Reid agrees to help her transform into a woman her doctor co-worker would be interested in.  Of course, spending all that time together really backfires for them both.
This was a fun read, and I definitely am putting Gina Maxwell on my To Be Read list!  There were lots of little moments of humor – including a He-Man reference. Lucie and Reid felt like real people, and their problem didn’t feel exaggerated.  I liked seeing the transformation in Lucie – both inside and out.  I loved how strong she was by the end of the book.  Reid’s actions were believable, and he was a sweetie, despite his asshole moments.

I’m not a huge MMA fan, so I was ok that there were no long drawn out fight descriptions.  My guess is that the description of the lifestyle was accurate, though.  I look forward to the next book!

Jade works as a barista and her favorite customer is Alex, who’s a police officer. During his nightly visits to the drive thru they flirt shamelessly with each other. Finally, he asks her out and they then start to date. This is a very short story so I don’t want to give too much away. I really liked this story. It had everything I love in it: an HEA, suspense and hot sex! More sex than story but it worked for me here. I’m gonna read this whole series. Just an FYI, I think it’s free on Kindle.
