For the first time in her life, social worker
Lucia Lewis is ready to live. And the masquerade ball in Las Vegas is just the
place to find a ridiculously hot guy to complete her wicked to-do list. The
only rule? Her elegant Venetian mask—which conceals the scars that have always
held her back from the life she deserves—stays on.
Navy SEAL Cade Daniels heads to Vegas on a
mission to keep his best friend's little sister out of trouble. Except the
woman he’s sent to find is all heat and flame…and perfectly capable of handling
herself. And him. But the moment Lucia's mask slips, the need to heal her, body
and soul, is complete and absolute temptation.
But revealing himself could cost him the one
thing he isn't willing to risk...his heart.

My Review:
A new series, characters to get to know with the same AMAZING writing I have come to expect from Sara. This is the story of a woman that feels as though she is worth nothing, and for just one weekend wants to be someone else. We all feel like this at some point in our lives, or at least I have. Lucia wants to be bold, sexy, to feel wanted and desired by a man. She comes up with a plan, makes a list of what she wants, but is nowhere near ready for what she gets. Navy Seal Cade Daniels was sent to protect Lucia from herself and the crazy plan she has come up with. Home on leave he doesn’t mind taking a little time out to help his best friend when asked, he minds even less after he sees who he needs to protect! Cade tries his hardest to keep the “keep your hands off” promise he made to his best friend but soon finds it is an impossibility with Lucia. She is the first women to ever make him want more than being a SEAL, more than his life as a confirmed bachelor. Lucia makes it clear from the start they only have one weekend together, after one night she starts to wonder if her plan was as thought out as she thought… How can these two keep their promises to themselves and each other when the heart get involved?

Jane Stone wrote a fun, sexy book with many heart felt situations. I like that
even with the lack of confidence in herself (for reasons you will learn) she
still pushes herself out of her comfort zone. Making sure, she does what she
wants not what people expect from her. This is a story with layers that you
look forward to uncovering. Why does Lucia want to be someone else? Why is Cade
so against being in a relationship? What molded them into the people they are?
One of my favorites though, can they find a way to stop being stubborn and
fighting the truth to be together? All are revealed and more, this book was
given to me as an ARC copy from the Author. I will always give HONEST reviews
and I know you will love this book. It is available for pre-order now and goes
on sale 6/30/15!
Excerpt:
“Don’t tell me you came for the
artwork,” a deep, masculine voice said from behind her. She closed her eyes
briefly, sucking in a sharp breath at the sound that seemingly had a direct
line to the parts of her body craving male attention.
Wow, that was
fast. Good job, dress.
“What else would I come for?” she
replied without turning to face him.
“I don’t know about you, but my eye’s
been on a table filled with chocolate five feet away,” the mystery man said.
Chocolate. She
opened her eyes. Melt-in-your-mouth sugary goodness came a close second to
orgasms on her list of wants.
“What kind of chocolate?” She kept her
gaze fixed on the bold red brushstrokes running through the center of the first
painting.
He chuckled. “I didn’t look too
closely. Does it matter?”
“The details are always important.”
Like if the man behind her filled out his suit with a body that promised to
make her dreams for tonight a reality. “Milk chocolate tastes different from
dark. Do they have fillings that melt in your mouth or ones that explode with
flavor?”
She felt him move closer. His heat
merging with hers. Without the mask, she might have caught a glimpse of him
from the corner of her eye, enough to know if the man matched the panty-melting
voice.
“You like things that explode in your
mouth?” he said, the words a low growl in her ear.
“Yes.” This man could read the phone
book and leave her breathless and brimming with desire. But she wanted more
than words tonight.
So she turned to face him.
And oh, God help her, she needed a
taste of this man. Her lips refused to form the words “but I’m partial to
caramel,” because one look and she was partial to him.
Mr. Panty-Melting Voice had a body that
begged to be explored, worshipped, and painted. From his square jaw to the way
he filled out his tuxedo, he looked as if he was auditioning to be the next
James Bond. Maybe he was. This was Vegas, only a hop, skip, and a jump from
Hollywood. And in her humble opinion, his short brown hair and green eyes were
a lethal combination.
Move over, Daniel
Craig...
“I’ve been watching you stare at those
paintings for the last few minutes,” he said, his full lips offering a hint of
a smile beneath his plain black mask. “Without even glancing at the chocolate
fountain.”
“There’s a fountain?” She heard the
note of longing in her voice. Chocolate, carbs—those had topped the list of
diet no-no’s for the past six months. But tonight, everything was on the table.
“Yes. You might have noticed if you had
moved from this spot. So I have to ask, are you waiting for your date? A
boyfriend?”
“No.” Her breath caught on the one
word. This man had to be someone—a movie star, a model, the perfect male
specimen—he couldn’t be for her.
But the thought of walking away and
finding another man to explore her fantasies? Impossible. In her mind, she
would hear this stranger’s voice. She’d spend the next forty- eight hours
craving the deep sound, wishing she could listen to him murmur sweet nothings
in her ear as they acted out her fantasies—or even better, his fantasies.
If she walked away from him now, she would spend every minute until sunrise
wondering about his top four, though she had a feeling he didn’t carry around a
pink Post-it note with his wicked desires spelled out.
