A spicy second-chance standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Archer's Voice.

Sometimes, you don't even realize anything is wrong until someone comes along and changes you, and makes you want more.

Grace Hamilton is the girl with a plan. She knows exactly where her life is going, and prides herself on always achieving her goals. She's never stepped outside the lines she draws for herself, and never considered what her heart truly wants. That is, until him.

Carson Stinger doesn't play by any rules except his own. Working in the adult entertainment industry, he doesn't care what others think of his choices, and takes each day as it comes. No direction, no plan. He knows what women want from him, and in his eyes, it's all he has to offer…until her.

When unexpected circumstances force them together, Grace and Carson are swept up into the electric chemistry between them, surrendering to a steamy Las Vegas weekend in each other's arms. But for two people whose worlds could never coexist, they know their time is short. That is, until their hearts get involved without their permission…

Grace and Carson

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024

Sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. The one no strings attached weekend between a law student and porn star had a profound impact on both their lives. “Why do you call me buttercup?” The answer was always different and each had a touching meaning. Grace had a plan that she was hell bent on sticking to. But getting caught in an elevator with Carson threw all of those plans aside. Carson didn’t do relationships especially given his profession. Thrown into the business by default given his upbringing. After spending a weekend with Grace knowing he’d probably never see her again, he was determined choose a new path. Grace had a fool proof plan that did not include a wild weekend with a porn star. But he gave her the confidence to after what she wanted in life not what others thought she should. Meeting again purely by fate, set a series of events leading to second chances and rekindled feelings that they could no longer ignore.

What a Suprise!

This book was surprisingly good. I didn't expect it to be this enjoyable. The chemistry and scenes between the characters were passionate, but they didn't overshadow the story. Love that encounter in Vegas. Meeting again by pure luck led to a series of events that gave them another chance and made them realize they still had strong feelings for each other.

Another one from Mia. You'll never be bored because she always offers a variety of stories. What a good read!

4 stars for storyline only.

The editing was garbage, but the storyline was unique and original. Definitely enjoyed the steamier moments and how their paths continued to cross.

interesting plot but felt too unrealistic

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2023

I had hard times connecting with the story. Honestly I think, I couldn’t fully connect with it by the end still. I think the idea was really interesting and I liked the plot most of the times. But some conversations and actions felt unrealistic, especially in the first part of the book. The first half of the third part was kinda disappointment, especially fmc whom I couldn’t understand at all, and feel like her actions weren’t properly rationalized. I didn’t like her actions towards other characters and her sudden realization felt too weird and… sudden. The ending was nice even though it didn’t feel fully realistic. I still could enjoy relationship between main characters, and I loved their affection. Considering that’s like fifth book of this author I read and first one I have mixed feelings about, I’m really confused but it’s unfortunately not for me.
