Author's Book Description : Nothing is off-limits for this cowboy in USA TODAY bestselling author Charlene Sands's story of fame and redemption
Jilted by her ex-fiancé, Jessica Holcomb finds refuge at her former brother-in-law's beachfront Southern California mansion. There she discovers country superstar Zane Williams still hunkering down after the devastating loss of his wife.
These two wounded souls find their easy friendship healing. So Jess's sudden attraction to Zane comes as a complete shock. Even more shocking, Zane's acting like a jealous boyfriend, running interference with men who show interest. Is he just being overprotective? The answer becomes clear when Jess ends up in his bed...
My Book Review : 5 out of 5! Two years after the tragic loss of his wife and unborn child Zane is still overcome with grief and not sure what to do with himself. When his wife’s younger sister decides to stay at his vacation home in California in hopes to pick up the pieces of her own life, Zane comes to realize what he’s been missing and starts living again but does he really want to move on with his life for good?
I totally enjoyed this novel. With its subtle ways in romance and the emotions both Zane and Jessica (Jess) go through to deal with their grief this novel hits a homerun on many levels! Zane and Jess are quite the pair. I can’t picture them with anyone else, so much so that I kept having the bad thought that if Zane really had to choose between the two sisters (if Janie was still alive) which would he like more throughout me reading this novel. Yet, it’s just that Jess seems so perfect for Zane and likewise for Zane with her that I have a hard time seeing anything else.
This very moving and touching novel is one I HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a slow burning contemporary romance!

Book Teaser(s) :
“Jessica, have a nice morning. And if you’re around Zane today, please give him a hand. He may look like a superhero, but he’s really not Superman.”
Could’ve fooled her. Last night, he’d been super heroic.
Mariah pivoted on her heels and strode out the door.
Zane chuckled.
“What?”
“The look on your face.”
“I’m mortified about last night. Where on earth did you sleep, and does Mariah know what happened?”
“First off, don’t be upset. It’s our little secret. Mariah doesn’t know that you’re a margarita lightweight.” He smiled. “That woman’s been babying me for weeks. Doesn’t do a man a bit of good being so dang useless. For the first time in a month of Sundays, I was able to help out and do something useful with this banged-up body.”
“I took your bed.”
“Glad to give it up.”
“Where did you sleep?”
“The office sofa is the most comfortable place in the whole house.”
“Oh, boy. I’m sorry. The first night I’m here, I give you trouble.”
He smiled again, a stunning heart-melter. “If livening up my life some is trouble, then bring it on. Fact is, I’m glad you’re here. You bring a bit of home with you. I miss that.”
She needed to believe him. She’d been afraid coming here would remind him of Janie and all that he’d lost. To have him say he was glad she’d come made a big difference. “Okay.” ~ within Chapter 2
“I win, Jess.”For more information on this book, series, and/or any other books by Charlene, then please check out her website.
“Just barely.” She gave a good fight.
“Still, a win is a win.”
He reached up and helped her off, his large hands handling her with ease as she slid down the length of him. Tucked close, she didn’t mind being in his trap. The exhilaration of the race and the handsomest darn face she’d ever seen brought on palpitations. Her heart pounded like crazy.
“So what do I win?” he asked.
“Is this a trick question?”
“Not even close.”
“What do you want?”
A soap-opera villain couldn’t have produced a more wicked grin. “A kiss, for starters.” ~ within Chapter 8
