Synopsis: Factory mechanic Duke Crawford just wants to watch SportsCenter in peace. Unfortunately, living with four divorcee sisters doesn’t provide much silence, nor does it change his stance on relationships. But when a fellow commitment-phobe stumbles into his life, getting him good and worked up, he can’t deny his protective instincts.
Samantha Waverly’s brother just put her in an impossible situation. The only way out? Marry huge, gruff, gladiator look-alike Duke—for show, of course. She doesn’t make promises—she knows too well how easily they can be broken—and this is no exception.
As the blistering attraction between them grows, the lines around the no-strings relationship blur. But Duke and Samantha’s marriage is only for show…or is it?
BOOK TRAILER
Review - 4 stars!
I really loved Duke in the other books in this series, so I
was happy to see him getting his own story. As usual with this author, the
characters are unique, the plot is engaging, and the chemistry is explosive!
From the very beginning, I loved Samantha’s character. She
has a brilliant imagination, bold and unique. She sees the world in a whole
different light, like a constantly shifting caricature. We may see someone as
brave, but she sees them as Captain America. This part of her personality was
fun and if often made me giggle.
My only issue with Sam was her odd attitude at time. She
would think about how everyone eventually leaves her in the weirdest moments
sometimes. Ones where I felt like the thought was out of place. Like it was the
only excuse the author could come up with, and it was consistent, so they just stuck
with it. When she does finally come to her senses, the change is extremely abrupt.
There is no slow build and unfortunately, for me, it took away from the story.
Duke is a loveable character. He’s unintentionally funny, a
bit of a cliché (which he fully admits to) with his desire to do nothing but
watch Sports Center and drink beer, and he’s a dedicated family man. Normally,
it would be hard to see a character like him fall for the heroine so quickly—insta-love
just doesn’t jive, But, somehow, the author built the situation in just the
right way so I could absolutely see how it could conceivably happen to him. And
that dirty, delicious mouth…swoon.
The sex scenes are panty-melting hot. Although, while I
understand this author’s attempt to be “real” in this series, meaning not
everyone has movies star good looks and a ripped body, there were a couple of
descriptive features on Duke that mellowed my fire to a simmer.
Overall, this was another fantastic read by Tessa Bailey.
She’s a go to author for me and while this one won’t end up on my re-read
shelf, I would still highly recommend it, along with all of her books!

Synopsis: His inspiration. His torment. And his temptation...
Jasmine Taveras is the reason Sarge Purcell grabbed his six-string and bailed the hell out of New Jersey four years ago. She's the fuel for every song he's ever written-each one laced with bitter, hard-edged, hungry lust. Now, with his hugely successful band is on temporary hiatus, Sarge is determined to prove to Jasmine that this "kid" turned into every inch the man she's always needed...
Men are slim pickings for a single factory girl in Hook, New Jersey...until tall, broad-shouldered hotness walks-or ratherstorms-into Jasmine's life. Sarge's return shouldn't affect her this way. He's her best friend's much younger kid brother, and the kind of rough, gritty, sexiness Jasmine has no right to taste for herself. Even if he lets her.
But lust is a blinding, insatiable force. And when it crashes, it will take both Sarge and Jasmine down with it...
