It’s rule breaker Emily Foster's birthday, and like everyone at The Jungle Room, she just wants to get some action. Unfortunately, she stumbles on the wrong kind, witnessing a mob hit. To protect her, she's entered into the Witness Protection Program with by-the-book Special Agent Jake Ward as her chaperone.
When the location of their safe house is compromised, Jake stashes Emily deep in the Texas backwoods. The city-girl might be safe from the Mafia, but she has to contend with a psychotic rooster, a narcoleptic dog, crazy cowboys, and the danger of losing her heart to the one man she can’t have.
Jake's as hot as he is infuriating, and she can't help but push all his buttons to loosen him up. Their mutual, sizzling sexual attraction poses a dilemma: Jake's determined to keep her safe and out of the wrong hands; she's determined to get into the right ones—his.
My Review...
Emily and Jake meet in a club, they share once dance, two kisses, a few snarky remarks and it goes downhill from there.
She is strong, independent and she keeps everyone at arm’s length.
He is a man on a mission and his only focus is getting revenge on the man who took away everything from him.
He’s also an FBI agent and, when Emily finds herself stuck in protected custody and having to rely on Jake, well, let’s say that more than a few sparks will fly.
In her case it’s something like – how many stupid things can you do in a few days and the counting starts when she witnesses a murder.
Her bad temper, loud mouth and propensity for getting into trouble gets on Jake’s last nerve. He’s no more happy to be stuck with her than she is but Emily is his insurance ticket to finally achieve his goal.
What happens when a city girl finds herself in the middle of nowhere Texas with a crazy pair of old people as company and everything else that can be found around a farm?
One might think there’s no way she could create any more problems, right?
Jake certainly doesn’t think so. That until our girl decides to make his life a living hell by doing her best in trying to seduce him even when he swears he’ll never get involved with someone under his protection.
The banter between those two is insanely hilarious.
From the very first page you’ll find it impossible to keep a straight face.
Every single character in this book had a very specific role and, maybe for the first time, I loved each and every one of them.
Trust me, this is a book you don’t want to miss and I highly recommend it. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next volume.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant!
Happy Reading!

As the youngest of five girls, Alison Bliss has never turned down a challenge...or been called by the right name. Her writing career may have started out as a dare by one of her sisters, but Alison hasn't put her pen down since.
She grew up on a small island off the Texas Gulf Coast, where most of her childhood vacations consisted of camping or hunting trips to the deer lease. Although she'll always be a Texan at heart, Alison currently resides in the Midwest with her Iowa farm-boy husband and their two sons. With so much testosterone in her home, it's no wonder she writes "girl books."
She's an animal lover, a closet video game enthusiast, and believes the best way to know if someone is your soul mate is by canoeing with them because if you both make it back alive, it's obviously meant to be. Alison's an avid romance reader who enjoys penning the type of books she loves to read most: fun, steamy love stories with heart, heat, laughter, and usually a cowboy or two. As she calls it, "Romance...with a sense of humor."
