It was only supposed to last one night…

 Roxanne Stokes doesn’t believe in love. She does, however, believe in the sexy-as-sin stranger who literally knocks her off her feet in front of a nightclub. The chemistry sparking between them takes her breath away, and she’ll do anything to ease the pain in his eyes…until she realizes the handsome stranger is her best friend’s older brother who’s just come home from war.

Ian Walser had no idea the gorgeous woman he slept with the night of his homecoming party was his little sister’s best friend—or that she’d be gone before morning. Roxanne’s touch soothes him in a way nothing else can, and he’s not ready to walk away from that yet. Not when spending time with her gave Ian a glimpse of everything he’s ever wanted. When his sister unwittingly pushes them together, he sees his chance. But convincing a woman who doesn’t believe in love that she’s his Mrs. Right might be harder than any mission Ian’s undertaken. Good thing this soldier likes a challenge…

Ian’s just come back from living his life in the military. Due to circumstances while being deployed he no longer can tolerate huge crowds and loud noise. So when his family throws a welcome home party for him in a club filled with people, it doesn’t take long for him to bolt out of there and plow down a poor woman outside the door. He finds that being around this sexy woman calms him in ways that his deep breath exercises have never managed. After a night of passion, he wakes up in an empty hotel room with no idea what her name is, until he bumps into her and his sister. That’s when he finds out that the mystery woman is his sister, Elle’s, best friend.

I must admit that I haven’t had a chance to read the first book in the Come Undone series which focuses on Elle and her HEA. So I was a little nervous going in that I would feel like I was missing something and even though you could tell that there was a story previously that was obviously about Elle, the author did a great job filling you in.

Clearly Ian has issues from his time in the military but Roxanne has her own as well. Her mother went through men like crazy and drilled into Roxanne’s head at a young age to never trust men, they always leave. So when the perfect gentlemen falls into her life, she’s skeptical that he’s any different from the men her mother warned her about. However, he does everything in his power to reassure Roxanne that he’s not one of those men.

I really enjoyed this story and the heat level is definitely steamy. Katee wastes no time jumping the characters and the readers into bed. The characters were likable and I enjoyed reading their story. Now all I have to do is read the first book in the series. Yes, I know it’s out of order but sometimes, that happens.
