After leaving a restrictive religious community, Rachel Hill is on a mission to divest herself of her virginity. Newly independent and struggling to establish herself, she’s not looking for anything complicated. She bids on sexy SWAT officer Ben Harris at a bachelor auction, confident he’ll give her the night of her life and nothing more.
But Ben is jaded and detached, living his life in an endless cycle of danger-fueled adrenaline jags, drinking, and sex. When he misses the fact that his bachelor auction hookup is a virgin, he’s shocked by his obliviousness, and by the risk she took. To make amends, Ben offers Rachel all he can: a no-strings-attached sexual education.
Ben’s lessons introduce Rachel to down and dirty passion, but she’s searching for something more profound than sex, and she’s willing to walk away to find it. Ben can’t get Rachel out of his head, but will he come to terms with his troubled past and learn to love?
Whoo boy. This one was a doozy and it was so much more intense than I anticipated. I was intrigued by Ben in Ms. Calhoun’s first book in this series, Uncommon Pleasure and all I wanted to know was if Ben would get his own book. To say that I was excited when Ms. Calhoun said YES, would be a giant understatement. I wanted to know more about the super hot, dominant, yet emotionally unavailable cop. And he was so stinkin’ hot in that book. So, I felt that a book of Ben would like the best thing EVER!!!
