A sexy new standalone from USA Today bestseller Sarina Bowen.
You’d think a billion dollars, a professional hockey team and a six-bedroom mansion on the Promenade would satisfy a guy. You’d be wrong.
For seven years Rebecca has brightened my office with her wit and her smile. She manages both my hockey team and my sanity. I don’t know when I started waking in the night, craving her. All I know is that one whiff of her perfume ruins my concentration. And her laugh makes me hard.
When Rebecca gets hurt, I step in to help. It’s what friends do. But what friends don’t do is rip off each others’ clothes for a single, wild night together.
Now she’s avoiding me. She says we’re too different, and it can never happen again. So why can’t we keep our hands off each other?
Overnight Sensation scores big and delivers a healthy dose of sugar, a hint of spice, and a whole lot of nice.
Heidi Jo Pepper (aka “Hot Pepper”) steals the show in this book. The woman is a firecracker—remarkably resourceful, with a sharp mind, quick wit, huge heart, and infectious charm. I enjoyed her relentless pursuit of Jason Castro, the hot hockey playboy who is determined to remain single.
Jason is dealing with a sudden self-confidence problem, and Heidi has a lot to prove to herself and her loved ones. They support each other perfectly, and I was totally on board for the sparks they create in the bedroom as well. The various odd jobs Heidi undertakes provide endless opportunities for hilarious hijinks. I also enjoyed the camaraderie with Jason’s roommate, Silas. I hope we have his story to look forward to in the future.
I rarely comment on book covers but… this book deserves a better cover in my not so humble opinion. It’s a personal preference kind of thing, but the rather smarmy-looking shirtless dude doesn’t appeal to me. The cover doesn’t scream funny, cute, or even sexy to me—and this feel-good romance is all those things. If I didn’t know and love Sarina Bowen’s work I might have passed on this winning story, but I’m so glad I didn’t.
