Lake is at the top of her career when she discovers her boyfriend cheating on her. What better way to send a message than to give in to the ultimate temptation and get revenge than to move on with his father.

The shades and the medium may differ, but those who can look beyond the surface to see the real beauty have the heart of a true artist.
Yes, this book was darker than the previous ones. I would definitely check the warnings. It was sooo beautifully tragic and I would recommend it to everyone.
Rian Merrick is a wildly talented artist. One everyone would sell their soul to work with, or be a part of his class. He doesn’t want just anyone, though. He wants the one he saw walking alone towards campus, clutching a sketch book, and the wind blowing through her hair. His "Ragland Road Girl."
She doesn't know what to do about the charming, albeit, obsessive professor who will stop at nothing to have her. She has too much on her plate already. Will he be able to convince her that she belongs with him?
The way the author has written this book is a work of art in itself. The way these two stubborn souls fight for and against each other is like paint strokes on canvas. The raw emotions range from rose to deep blood red. I was left with a feeling of completeness.

Miri is such a strong and confident character that will do whatever iI loved Gabe and Miri's story. The contrast of characters was very well written.
Miri is such a strong and confident character that will do whatever it takes for her family. Her dream is to play professionally, but she must resist the temptation of the man who will become her boss.
Gabe Rivers was born with a silver spoon. While the world sees the billionaire playboy, his softer, human side is reserved for one person. The only thing is, she's determined to keep it professional.
While some parts dragged a little bit for me, overall, it is very sweet and steamy. There’s a good balance between the sport and romance. I recommend it and am loving that an author is giving women their shot in the world of sports romance!...more

Lake Kennedy is the baddest and best at what she does. Being a female CFO comes have its highs and lows. She was just going in to reminisce. Listen to some music, enjoy a drink, then head home to her daughter.
What she didn't plan on was being followed out by the hot young guitarist, and be on the receiving end of the best kiss of her life in a rainstorm. Nor did she intend to follow him to his apartment, or have him rock her world. Imagine her shock when she finds out 2 weeks later at her sister's wedding that he's about to become her in-law.
Adrian Corvin has settled with his life. He enjoys playing at the bar with his band mates, working for his father's flooring company during the day. There’s not much else he wants in life. Then he sees the tall, dark haired, beauty and decides that he has to have her.
When he sees her again at his sister's wedding, he's even more adamant that one night isn't enough for him. He wears her down, and she agrees to no strings attached fun. Falling for each other is out of the question, but oh the lies he tells her have her believe that maybe not all men are the love 'em and leave 'em type.
Paula Dombrowiak knows how to pull you in and not only grip your heart strings but also keep it racing. This has moved up to one of my top five books of the year. I have not read a male character yet by this author that I haven't fallen head over heels for, and Adrian is no expectation! Persistent men with dirty mouths are my weakness. The way Adrian wears Lake down, the dirty words and his swoon factor is in the stratosphere. This book definitely doesn't lack for spicy scenes. I won't ever be able to look at a hotel pool, or a public bathroom the same way....more
