She might have been able to forget Smith if he hadn’t shown up at her work soon after. Two years ago, Emilia met a sexy stranger in a bar, and their weekend together was all kinds of memorable. She’s been working for a hockey team for the last few years, and she loves her job – except for one thing. The story follows Emilia, a woman who is up for a promotion.

So, while I enjoyed jumping back into the series and liked the book as I was reading it, it’s likely to be a forgettable read for me. And we didn’t see much more than longing and spice in present day. Where this falters is the actual relationship development outside of the bedroom – we’re told that their weekend together was more than sex, but… we never saw that. And the age gap (38/28) paired with an intense hero made for plenty of fan-worthy moments. I could EASILY see the chemistry and attraction between them, with tons of texting and playful banter. Told in flashbacks and present day, the story follows two people who had one steamy and memorable two-night stand a few years ago, before they realized that sleeping together would jeopardize both of their jobs. The spiciest book in the series yet, this is sexy but not particularly satisfying in the romance department.
