He’s the best bad decision she’ll ever make....

Type A attorney Fiona Quinn has one goal left to accomplish before turning 30: A big, fairy-tale wedding. All she needs is a groom. So what if she’s never been in love—or even lust—before? She’s confident she can solve the problem the way she always does, with spreadsheets and an action plan.

When a family emergency brings Max “Bad Boy” Devlin swaggering back into town—with his cocky grin, tattoos, and wanderlust—Fiona has to remind herself that he’s as unsuitable as it gets. Nope. Not happening. No matter how irresistible his invitation is for a night or seven between the sheets. If she can’t tie him down—metaphorically, of course— her pants must stay on.

Max can’t remember the last time a woman turned him down. He’s a guaranteed three-orgasms good time, dammit. So what if he’s not the marrying kind? Those sweaty palms he gets when Fiona agrees to help him save his dad’s punk rock club are just an allergic reaction to her methodical march toward matrimony. Before he hits the road again, he’s going prove to Fiona that life’s more fun when you play, rather than plan.

No one gets hurt when it’s all just fun and games, right?

Author’s Note: A steamy, opposites attract standalone romance featuring a cocky bad boy (with a heart of gold) and a buttoned-up good girl (with a secret wild side). 1-click if you’re into dirty dancing, swoony first kisses from bad boys on motorcycles and hot trysts in supply closets. This book comes with a guaranteed (and very romantic) Happily Ever After.

MY REVIEW

Fiona has a contract, one that states she'll be married to her soulmate by the time she turns 30. She knows the kind of guy she wants - one who wants commitment, love, and all that jazz. So when she meets bad boy Max and he's the complete opposite of the kind of guy she's looking for, she turns his charming butt down when he makes his move. Too bad her body (and her kinda sorta hidden wild side) can't get on the same page as her Type A brain.

Max thinks he's not one for love. He doesn't want to do to Fiona what his mother did to his pops. So he thinks he's all about fun, no strings, no commitment. Until he meets a gorgeous lawyer who agrees to help him save pops' club, and knocks him on his ass all at the same time. Will he wise up and realize what he's got right under his nose, or walk away like he always said he would?

Sweet, hot opposites attract - what's not to love?! And I certainly loved Fiona and Max and their opposites (but not completely) attract love story and the circle of the people they loved.

Kathryn Nolan is an adventurous hippie chick and loves to write steamy romance. Her books are filled with slow-burn sexual tension, memorable characters, tons of heart -- and are often set in wild and beautiful locations.

Kathryn started her writing career in elementary school, writing about Star Wars and Harry Potter and inventing love stories in her many journals. She blames her obsession with slow-burn on her similar obsession for The X-Files.

Kathryn is a wanderer at heart, and loves to spend her free time hiking, camping, and traveling in her camper van ("Van Morrison") with her cute, nerdy husband and Walter, their rescue pup. Kathryn is a Philly girl who just moved back home after spending more than 8 years living in Northern California -- and six months traveling across the country in her camper van.
