SYNOPSIS

I’ve got to admit, life is sweet these days. As a starting NFL quarterback, I do okay, and I haven’t been lacking for female companionship. But I’d give it all up in a heartbeat if I could get back the woman I loved and lost—my ex-wife, Katy.

Now I’m at a wedding, watching one of my best friends tie the knot. I’m happy for him—really. I just wish things had turned out better when I’d taken that walk down the aisle. Still, those days are over.

I’m on my way up to my room when I run into my ex in the elevator. It’s like karma. Has to be. Only she’s with some random guy, who’s getting a little too handsy for my liking. I can’t help myself—I have to say something. Something that ruins her night…and mine, too.

Now, I’m sitting alone in my hotel room, when suddenly, Katy’s at my door, complaining that I ruined her 30th birthday. Her solution—that I give her the night of sexual adventure I’d derailed in the elevator.

I never was very good at saying no to her…

MY REVIEW

Grant's shocked to run into his ex-wife, even more shocked to see her with some guy. So shocked and unhappy about it that he pulls the possessive act and ruins her birthday plans with the guy. So Katy decides Grant will have to be the one to fulfill her birthday wishes. But can they do sex only, or will their old feelings pop up?

Sigh...I had high hopes for this story, but it just didn't work for me. I couldn't for the life of me find a connection with either Grant or Katy, and honestly I didn't feel one between them either aside from in the bedroom. I think the problem I had with it was that their back story wasn't detailed much, so in the present I just didn't see their feelings. There wasn't anything horribly wrong with the story or the writing, it just wasn't particularly memorable. I'd go as far as saying it was a little bland for my tastes.
