Chloe Peterson is having a bad night. A really bad night. The large bruise on her cheek can attest to that. And when her car skids off the side of a wet country road straight into a ditch, she's convinced even the gorgeous guy who rescues her in the middle of the rain storm must be too good to be true. Or is he?
As a successful photographer who frequently travels around the world, Chase Sullivan has his pick of beautiful women, and whenever he's home in San Francisco, one of his seven siblings is usually up for causing a little fun trouble. Chase thinks his life is great just as it is--until the night he finds Chloe and her totaled car on the side of the road in Napa Valley. Not only has he never met anyone so lovely, both inside and out, but he quickly realizes she has much bigger problems than her damaged car. Soon, he is willing to move mountains to love--and protect--her, but will she let him?
Chloe vows never to make the mistake of trusting a man again. Only, with every loving look Chase gives her--and every sinfully sweet caress--as the attraction between them sparks and sizzles, she can't help but wonder if she's met the only exception. And although Chase didn't realize his life was going to change forever in an instant, amazingly, he isn't the least bit interested in fighting that change. Instead, he's gearing up for a different fight altogether...for Chloe's heart.

Let me start my rant. (Deep breath) YOU DO NOT FALL FOR SOMEONE IN 5 DAYS. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. SO NOT REALISTIC! YOU HAVE NOT WAITED FOREVER TO KISS HER WHEN YOU MET HER 24 HOURS AGO! YOU DO NOT PROPOSE TO SOMEONE AFTER 5 DAYS. NO. NO. NO.
Okay so let me go ahead and start my review. I have read a book by Bella Andre before and I really liked it....or at least I thought I did. Anyway this book was like .25 cents at our bookstore we frequent almost weekly. Well I was like its 25 cents it's worth a shot....WRONG! oh how wrong I was. In the first 59 pages the guy was going she is all I think about blah blah blah blah. Shoot me now. This is so not realistic.
87 pages in which is only 24 hrs after he met her he's like I am in a fight.....for Chloe's heart.....NO NO! STUPID IDIOT. SHE HAS AN ABUSIVE EXHUSBAND AND YOU WANT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HER AFTER ONLY KNOWING HER A GRAND TOTAL OF 2 DAYS. NO. NO.
Okay first off she is being chased by an abusive ex-husband who we don't know yet but is following her. Chase rescues her from the side of the road in the middle of the rain where she wrecked her car into the ditch. Well he takes her to his brothers guest house inside his brother's vineyard. Well he decides to intrude on her when she is taking a bath and doing............other things that I rather not speak about. Well he shouldn't have been there in the first place and I feel like this is a bad relationship because 5 days after she got attacked by her ex husband she gets engaged?????? what??????
I am still fuming over this book and not to mention I knocked off 3 stars 2 of them was because of too much sexy time and weird sexy time. I am just like no. no. Since I have already bought some of the others I will attempt the second one to see if she improves but I am not holding out much hope.
I give this book a 2 out of 5 stars.
