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…
Sex,
not Love by Vi Keeland is a super sexy Contemporary Romance standalone.
Set on both coasts, Natalia & Hunter make a connection that unexpectedly
sticks. Natalia is doing the best she
can to protect more than one delicate heart – while Hunter hasn’t let his truly feel
for too long. Both of them are holding on
to a fear of relationships, even if for very different reasons. But then again, “It’s not an adventure without a little fear.”
Told
in first person, from dual perspectives, with some flashback action- this is an
angsty, funny, sweet, heartstring pulling & steaming hot read you won’t be
able to put down. “…extremely sexy. There’s some insane chemistry here, and I think we
should explore it.” SO FUNNY “Why am I attracted to assholes?”, “I’d just been schooled on life and love
by a sixteen year old.” SO SEXY “I
was eye to eye with his happy trail-and boy, did it make me happy.” “It was so intimate, so passionate.” These characters will wage a “…battle of head vs. heart.”, face
their fears & decide whether or not to hold on to hope & take a chance. And struggle to recognize that you don’t have
to sacrifice in order to protect. With beautiful
family & friend ties along the way, sharing life lessons & wisdom “When you spend too much time looking back
and trying to figure out what went wrong, you’re missing out on moving forward.”
I
love that these characters are both “…just
as attractive inside as out.” Natalia-such
a strong, smart, loving woman, & Hunter OH HUNTER – forward & crude, easy going &
open. He is “A priest…” & one “…persistent
man…” who you won’t be able to get enough of.
"Life
isn't about the big win. It's about the person you call first to tell that
you've won."
