My relationship with Hunter Delucia started backwards. We met at a wedding—him sitting on the groom’s side, me sitting on the bride’s. Stealing glances at each other throughout the night, there was no denying an intense, mutual attraction. I caught the bouquet; he caught the garter. Hunter held me tightly while we danced and suggested we explore the chemistry sparking between us. His blunt, dirty mouth should’ve turned me off. But for some crazy reason, it had the opposite effect on me. We ended up back in my hotel room. The next morning, I headed home to New York leaving him behind in California with the wrong number. I thought about him often, but after my last relationship, I’d sworn off of charming, cocky, gorgeous-as-sin men. A year later, Hunter and I met again at the birth of our friends’ baby. Our attraction hadn't dulled one bit. After a whirlwind trip, he demanded a real phone number this time. So I left him with my mother’s—she could scare away any man with her talks of babies and marriage—and flew back home. I’d thought it was funny, until the following week when he rang the bell at Mom’s house for Sunday night dinner. The crazy, gorgeous man had won over my mother and taken an eight-week assignment in my city. He proposed we spend that time screwing each other out of our systems. Eight weeks of mind-blowing sex with no strings attached? What did I have to lose? Nothing, I thought. It’s just sex, not love. But you know what they say about the best laid plans… ADD TO GOODREADS

REVIEW

In her usual fashion, Vi Keeland combines swoon and humor in a fabulous mix to deliver this read.

Hunter is bound and determined to find an in with Natalia after thier meeting at a friends wedding. Natalia is just as determined to avoid the screaming attraction between the two of them - going so far as to give him the wrong number - twice. Only she miscalculated and finds herself in his grip.

Natalia has her own struggles with love because of her past - and she's found herself in quite a unique situation. One of my favorite things about Vi's characters are there is also some little something you don't expect and with Natalia - I really felt those unexpected things really added to the story and my care for the character.

I really enjoyed the banter between these two - though their connection is immediate - it isn't forced or rushed - but rather drug about and pushed away often. This book has everything you could ask for in a good rom-com. It will suck you in, make you laugh, make you swoon, make you want to find a Hunter of your very own. I loved watching as these two figured thigns out between them, how they gave in to each other thinking they knew the score and how they didn't really know at all. I couldn't help but want to dig in to every word on the page and figure out what would happen next and if these two would figure out how much they worked together.
