Alex’s first name has been changed due to changes made at the request of St. Martin’s Press for the other novels in the series. This novella is erotic romance, different from the other A & D novels. Alex isn’t armed, but he is dangerous…

I enjoyed this book but I did prefer the other books in this series. Nicole made a bet with her cousins and is surprised that Alex is now the one to turn her on. Will she end up losing the bet? Alex has always wanted Nicole and I loved how possessive he was about her. Will she ever realize she loves him? Loved their happy ever after.
Nicole Landford is a “love ‘em and leave ‘em” woman but has met her match with rancher Alex Grand. He tells her he’ll give her a ride she will never forget and, boy, does he! But Alex wants forever and that is not her thing. After a month together, he tells her he loves her and when she realizes she loves him, she knows where to find him.
Wow... A short fun loving and over the top sex story of two people: Alex who loved Nicole from grade school, and Nicole who hated Alex for the pranks he use to pull on her.
This story is hot and steamy from the start. Alex is a dominate man that knows Nicole is the girl for him. Nicole is a stubborn woman that wants her freedom and loves life. She is not ready to settle down, most of all with Alex.
Because of a bet, Nicole has to only have sex with one man for a full month, and it has to be the first man that trips her trigger, and Alex is that man.
This is a great story and is a fast read. Its hot, wild, and not for young readers.
I really enjoyed this novella. Alex has had feelings for Nicole ever since they were kids. Now he is a rancher and she owns a B&B. She makes a bet with her cousins to find one man she is attracted to and have a no strings attached relationship for one month with. A chance encounter and now Alex is her bet. Does this bet turn into something more?
This story was very steamy and I was able to read it in one afternoon. This author can write a hot love scene that is for sure.
4.5* A very enjoyable and hot short story! Don't think I'll ever be able to look at chocolate cake in quite the same way again though :-) but really glad I purchased this story and I would certainly recommend it to others.
