Blog Tour Hosted by: Naughty and Nice Book Blog
Synopsis:
“If I let go, will you catch me?”
He had wanted her to help him win his ex-girlfriend back. She had wanted to teach him a few lessons on how to treat a woman. Neither one had planned for the unexpected.
I couldn't stand by and watch. It hit too close to home. I had to run fast and far to get away and forget him. He weaseled his way into my life, making me question rules I lived by and turned my orderly life upside down. I'm falling apart and coming undone. I don't do that. I'm Madison Stuart. I live life by my rules. I won't be derailed by a man. I won't...I can't.
She's gone. I'm desperate and going insane. I'll do whatever it takes to find her. I don't know when it happened, but I won't let her go, not like this. What has she done to me? I'm Rick Marin for crying out loud. I don't chase women, but she's not just a woman. She's Maddy--my Maddy--and I need her.
Follow Rick and Madison’s story, The Do Over’s most notorious couple, as they learn that It’s Not Over.
Excerpt:
In a tender voice, he
said, “Maddy, you’ve got to be one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.
Tonight though, you’re also breathtaking.”
“Thank you.” I accepted
his compliment while draping the linen napkin across my lap, and I smiled to
myself.
“I think we’re making
progress.” He winked. “Normally, you’d insult me when I said something nice to
you.”
“True.” I shrugged and
said offhandedly, “You’ve annoyed the shit out of me today. I think I deserve
having you kiss my ass.”
“You know, I’m the best
ass-kisser there is.” He ran his fingers along my back. “Why stop with the ass
when you’ve got an amazing body that requires the same level of care and
attention?”
“Is this your best?” I
gave him a side-glance. “I’m counting on the wow factor. I want it to be so
good that I actually believe you.”
He shifted in his seat
and cocked his head. “I don’t know why you ever doubt me.”
“For starters, you’re a
liar and a manipulator.”
“Minor technicality,” he
said in a serious tone.
I laughed. “Let’s add
comedian as well.”
His eyes widened, and I
held back a giggle.
“You really believe that,
don’t you?” I asked.
“I’ve never hidden that
from you. In fact, you’re the only person I’ve ever been completely honest
with. You accept me for who I am, kick me in the ass on a constant basis, and
call me out on my bullshit.” He reached for his wine and took a sip. “Let me
put it to you this way. You disappeared on me, and I pulled every single trick
I had to find you. Think about that. When have I ever had to work this
hard to get a woman to talk to me? Never.”

Christine's Review:
In book one "The Do Over", I wasn't really on Team Rick but there was something about him that I was drawn to even though he was a major @$$. I enjoyed the friendship that Rick and Maddy were building but you just knew there was "more" and holy hell the sexual tension between them was melting the pages of my Ipad. Rick has redeemed himself and has changed but not really, he's just the kind of guy you like when he's with Maddy (although he's still an @$$) but really who doesn't like a guy with a little of that gene.
Maddy and Rick drove me crazy but together they have this intense connection. Maddy is resistant but you'll find out why and I could sympathize with her. At first, I was honestly scared what road Maddy and Rick would take me on but they drew me in and I got emotionally invested with them. A.L. really pulled me in and felt that tension between them. All I can say is, that ending has left me a little speechless and I can't wait to see where Rick and Maddy end up. I was shocked, cause I didn't see that happening!!
This is a series you should check out. 4 bookmarks! I think I might have to stalk the author to see when we get the rest of Maddy and Rick's story.
