If you love a one night stand turning into a sexy road trip, Amanda Usen’s novel will definitely meet the mark. This fast paced, super steamy romp is such a fun read that quickly sweeps the read up in the hero and heroine’s drama and road to forgiveness and rediscovery. Usen’s writing has an ease and conversational tone which works perfectly for this enemies to lover’s, second chance romance.
Clara and Zane had a hot and passionate romance in high school which ended pretty tumultuously leaving Clara with bitter feelings towards Zane. Now ten years later, Zane is determined to gain Clara’s forgiveness and proposes one night of passion. But when Clara misses her plane the next morning pursuit of her dream job, Zane is determined to drive her there and what was meant to be one night because a sexy road trip journey to a rediscovery of feelings.
This is a fairly light hearted romance full of many very popular tropes working towards the hero and heroine’s final acceptance of love. The passion is the novel definitely runs hot and Usen really explores this in the physical side of their relationship. These two have a history and a foundation that they have already built so their journey really becomes about learning to understand the other and see how they have grown. Watching their feels regrow was fun, their journey is delightful and their conclusion, while quick, is the perfect happy for now ending, with the openness for growth and more discovery.
If the tropes mentioned above are your cat nip, then don’t hesitate to pick up this novel. This is the first novel I have read from Amanda Usen and it will definitely not be my last.
