Charismatic and easy on the eyes, Lucky Tyler is a born rebel. His romantic conquests have earned him his nickname, while his temper gives him his reputation as the family hothead. One night, he gets in a fight over a woman in distress, followed by a night of passion neither of them will soon forget. But the lady in question has a knack for disappearing. When news breaks of a suspicious fire at Tyler Drilling, Lucky is the prime suspect. Now the mystery woman is more than just the object of his obsession. She’s his alibi.
Devon Haines has tried her best to escape Lucky. Yet his bold pursuit and self-assurance are irresistible. In order to clear him of criminal charges, she must reveal her darkest secret; withholding her help could cost him everything he holds dear. Either way, she risks losing him forever.

i really have had this book for a very very very long time.
and it's dated.
oh boy is it ever.
so when i read books that are "old", in particular, contemporary romance i remind myself that the way things are written/plotted/described yada yada yada were the "norm" then.
that said they sure wouldn't pass today LOL.
this was a crazy sauce trope filled romance and while i did enjoy it for the most part i honestly didn't care much for the hero Lucky for various reasons. i also wasn't a huge fan of Devon but at least i liked her moxie.
i've got the next two books set in this trilogy and hope to read them soon.
as always- i'd love to know what you are reading or any thoughts you have about my choices!
