Synopsis
Women often say a good man is hard to find. And a hard man is even better.
That’s why I’m quite a catch— good, hard, loaded, and wait for it…I’m ready to settle down too. But the woman I want to pitch my tent with lives clear across the country. Neither of us wants to get lost in those woods. All I have to do is resist her for the week she's in town.
I try. I swear I try. But yeah, that doesn't work out.
And after one fantastic night with my good friend Mia, I’m ready to give her years of nights under the stars. What's a few thousand miles when love's involved? But there’s a hitch in my plans — she just hired my adventure tour company. If there’s one thing I’m committed to, it’s running a squeaky clean business. Number one on my list of iron-clad rules?
Don’t screw your customers.
But what's a guy to do when she's so hard to resist? How hard can it be to keep our hands off each other for a quick group tour down the hills and over the trails? I’m about to find out, and I have a feeling I’m going to need a new badge of honor because things are about to get very hard in the woods.

It was really refreshing reading about a guy who knew what he wanted and he was not scared of sharing his feelings in order to achieve that.
Also, the fact that the book was from the guy’s perspective was a huge change from the books I usually read. We were inside his mind, he is the perfect guy every one of us dreams about and we could see just how perfect they were for each other.
Mia was sweet but her job was her life, and she didn’t even realized that until Patrick offered her a once in a life time chance to disconnect. He promised it would make a great difference and indeed it did.
She now realized that she didn’t want to stay away from him anymore and he felt the same way, the problem now is the fear that their feelings might not withstand being so far away.
The story was sweet and romantic, they both where scared of letting their feelings be known too soon and what that might cost them.
In my opinion, you can never go wrong with being your true self and letting the other person know what your feelings are. You might get hurt but in the end you will feel worse if you bottle them up and end up not knowing what could have happened if you didn’t, no regrets is always the best policy.

Excerpt
I let go of her hand and thread my fingers through her hair. “Get on me.”
Then I grab her hips and move her so she’s straddling my lap. She gasps, a sexy noise that turns into a moan as she sinks down on my hard-on.
I hiss because it feels so fucking good.
“I wanted to come over the other night. After dinner. After the elevator,” she blurts out.
“Yeah?”
She nods. “Dinner ran late, but I couldn’t stop thinking about you.”
“What were you thinking?”
“That we didn’t get to kiss, and I wanted to so badly.”
“I can fix that problem right now.”
I take her face in my hands and bring her to me. Then the world spirals away as I kiss Mia Summers for the very first time.
It’s extraordinary. Her lips brush against mine, and she wastes no time. She slides closer, rubbing on my dick as she presses her chest to me. It’s as if she’s climbing me, and God, how I want this. How I want her like this.
I thread my fingers through her hair, pulling her closer, kissing her deeper. Tasting her. Her mouth is soft and sweet, and she makes these little sounds—whimpers, sighs, gasps—that make me nearly lose my mind.
I’m kissing Mia. I’ve been crazy for her for so damn long, and she’s on my lap, rubbing against my erection, kissing me as if her every last breath depends on it. Her tongue tangles with mine, and in a hot second, the kiss become furious. Greedy. Like two people who are mad about each other. I curl my hands around her head, wanting to get as close as I can, but she bats them away.
I break contact for a moment and raise a questioning eyebrow.
“My turn.” She lifts her hands, cups my cheeks, and then she strokes my jaw. Reverently. Hungrily. And I know what she’s doing. She’s feeling my beard. She’s touching my stubbled jaw with eager fingers, as if she’s wanted to get her hands on me for as long as I’ve wanted to touch her.
I don’t stop her. I drop my hands to her hips, and I guide her along, moving her so she grinds against my cock, and she’s gasping and murmuring as she kisses me.
We consume each other. We are ravenous. My brain turns to static, firing pleasure signal after pleasure signal to every nerve in my body. I want to live in this moment for the rest of the night. I don’t ever want to forget how good it feels not only to kiss her, but to be kissed by her.
She rocks harder, goes faster, murmurs louder, then she separates and looks at me with desperate eyes. “You have no idea.”
I shake my head. “I do. I have every idea.”
