Blush

by Cherry Adair

Sex with a stranger. Learn to drive. Learn to cook. Learn to pole dance. Sex under the stars. Buy a truck. These are just a few of the things on Amelia Wentworth's bucket list, but as the CEO and face of a multi-billion-dollar cosmetic empire, she's never quite found the time to do them.
Until, after a series of accidents, Amelia discovers that someone wants her dead. But who? And why? She has no time for questions as she changes her name to Mia, buys a secluded fixer-upper near the Louisiana bayou where no one will recognize her, and starts checking things off her bucket list like there's no tomorrow-which there might not be.
Meanwhile, Cruz Barcelona is a hit man who's promised himself this will be his last job. Then he'll take the money and move to a warm, sunny place where he doesn't have to hide anymore. But when Cruz goes undercover to Mia's ramshackle house, he starts to realize there's far more to this poor-little-rich-girl than he thought-and he starts to fall for her. Which is going to make his job a whole lot harder...

WOW! This book keeps you on your toes!

Mia and Cruz are two interesting, complicated characters who aren’t at all what they seem to be early on. Watching them and the tug of war they have going in the beginning of the book is entertaining and kept me engaged as the story unfolded.

The situations that Cruz and Mia found themselves in were exciting and pushed the boundaries, but didn’t go over the top. About halfway through, I thought I had figured out who the bad guy was, but I was wrong! I love that I was surprised by the storyline.

I also really liked the fact that Cruz and Mia’s relationship continued to develop as they moved through the situations they needed to deal with. She was definitely the more honest of the two and I did struggle a little bit with how trusting she was of Cruz when she knew so little about him and so many things didn’t make sense, but that was really my only hang up with them. I think one of my favorite aspects of their relationship was the way Cruz’s behavior changed as the story went on; he starts of very harsh and while he is never warm and fuzzy, we do see him soften in ways that make him much more appealing.

Overall, if you are looking for an entertaining, suspense filled book with lots of great sexual chemistry then Blush is definitely one to try.
