Reviewer’s Thoughts

It all starts when Tracy Hartman punches Steele McLairn in the mouth.Β  Tracy misunderstands something Steele says in a telephone conversation and she punches him before thinking about the repercussions.Β Β Β  Steele is country music’s hottest superstar and is shooting a music video with Tracy, who is a struggling actress. Β Unfortunately, someone catches it all on video and there is media frenzy when the video goes viral. To get them both away from the media’s spotlight, Steele takes Tracy to his isolated cabin.

I liked Steele, his fame hasn’t gone to his head, he’s down to earth and comfortable in his own skin, but he’s working so hard he’s forgotten what it’s like to enjoy life. Β Steele has a bad boy reputation, but he’s a nice guy and always takes Tracy’s feelings into consideration.Β  Β Trust doesn’t come easily to Steele, so he’s afraid to share his family’s secrets with Tracy.

Tracy is trying to make a name for herself as an actress, but she never anticipated her fame would come from hitting someone famous.Β  Tracy isn’t the usual Hollywood type, she grew up in Montana and still has small town values and she doesn’t think it’s possible for someone as successful as Steele to be interested in her.Β  It’s not easy for Tracy to trust or share her feelings either, but it’s impossible for Steele and Tracy to have a relationship if neither one of them is willing to open up and talk about themselves.

Randi Alexander writes an entertaining story and there are some sizzling, hot sex scenes between Steele and Tracy.Β  Steele and Tracy are easy to like and relate to and I was happy Chase and Reno, the characters from the first book, β€œChase and Seduction” were included in this story.Β  This is the second book in the series, but each book is a stand-alone.

I love reading about hot, bad boy, country singers and I’m looking forward to reading β€œRough Ryder,” the third book in this series.
