hit the brakes. Thankfully, his new no-nonsense image consultant knows just

straight.

“You’re too hard on yourself, darlin’,” he said. “You’re the
most focused, persistent woman I’ve ever met.” He lifted her chin and gazed
into her eyes. His eyes were a deep, soulful blue and as he intimately held her
gaze, it reminded her of their first meeting and their instant, almost
spiritual connection. “You’re kind, compassionate, caring.” His voice was so
low that it was more like a whisper fluttering against her cheek. “The kids
need that.”

She’d barely processed his sweet words when he leaned in.
He was going to kiss her! Holding her breath, she told
herself to step back. It wasn’t appropriate—they were working together, he
wasn’t her type, she was on a man-ban. The reasons to stop him were endless.

But as he continued to move toward her, she couldn’t. He
grazed his lips overs hers in a tortoise-like motion as if testing the waters.
His lips were warm and moist and her body pulsed and sparked as they generated
heat hotter than hell and half of Georgia.

As she acquiesced, the world around them transformed into a
magical wonderland. The moon’s light softened and the stars appeared so close
that she could reach out and touch them. Light glittered across the dark water
like pixie dust and her belly fluttered as if it had been brushed by fairy
wings.

Review
AJ Ryan, Nascar driver is having PR problems. When a photo surfaces that puts his career in jeopardy with his sponsors he decides t clean up his act. He needs an image consultant.
Ella needs something to distract her from her life and her chose in men. Salvaging AJ's image is just what she needs to keep her mind off of another nasty breakup. However, things soon get turned upside down when she decides to take on the care of three children. When AJ gets involved and plays the instant family things definitely change for them all.
This story was very good. AJ & Ella both need help in different ways and I feel that these two help heal each other. Their attraction was intense and enjoyable. I thought the story was exciting and thrilling. This is a must read!
