About this ebook
Cosmetic tattoo artist Orla Stewart doesn’t do anything in half measures. She went from being the ultimate party animal to living a life that’s ridiculously straight and narrow. Turns out, cancer can change a girl. A lot. Adios to delicious cheeses, boozy dance parties and easy men. Hel-lo to celibacy and a sweet house-sitting gig with a massive pool. Until one very hot, very unwelcome intruder turns things upside down.
American rugby import Ronan Dempsey’s partying is trashing both his reputation and his game—and risking his chances for making the US Olympic team. He needs to clean up, and the pool house belonging to a family friend is the perfect place to hideaway. No. More. distractions. Which is exactly when a gorgeous, pink-haired hellion knocks Ronan on his ass...
The chemistry is instantaneous, charged, and absolutely, completely, totally off-limits. Proximity makes temptation nearly impossible to resist. Now it’s a deliciously torturous game of pushing boundaries and holding out. It’s just a matter of time before someone breaks...

Amy Andrews and I have a love-hate relationship, and I'm afraid this one tipped the wrong way. I know Amy is all about the steamy smexy times, but I feel she may have over-compensated for the serious topic under discussion by throwing more sex scenes at it. For me, it just felt like the balance between plot and steam was off. Others will no doubt love it. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Ronan a US rugby player comes to play for the Australia Sydney Smoke rugby team with the hopes of being seen and selected for the US Olympic team. Orla is a cosmetic tattoo artist who thinks Ronan is breaking into the home she is housesitting…when he is in fact trying to get his key to work…

This book was hard for me to get into. It contains a large amount of sexually explicit content. I have literally read erotica that contained less sex. However, to me, the crux of the story didn't become apparent until the last third of the book. It's unfortunate, as it was heartfelt, poignant, and real. I would have loved more of that earlier in the novel. I'm giving this 3.5 stars. I remain a fan of the author and have her on my must read authors' list.
