She’s on a mission: ditch the casual hook-ups, revamp her bad-girl image, and fall in love with a proper Mr. Right even her conservative mama can’t find fault with. Not on the menu? The beautiful, brooding Mr. Right Now who lives next door, and all the ways he whets her appetite. Starving for love… Artist Micah Hale had it all–women, success, friends and family–until his world changed in a single act of senseless violence. Now struggling to conceal his scars and get his life and career back on track, he knows he has nothing to offer a woman except his body. He’s not looking for love…but he can’t control his craving for the sexy bombshell voyeur he’s caught looking at him. Just one bite. Their attraction boils over, and their defenses are stripped off along with their clothes. They promise they’ll walk away if it gets too hot. But it’s hard to do the right thing…when being wrong feels so good.

Rana has been spying on her hot artist neighbor, Micah, from her bedroom window. What she doesn’t know is that he is completely aware she has been watching him! After witnessing a very steamy scene, Rana follows Micah to his art show where he confronts her for her voyeuristic tendencies. She is rightfully embarrassed, but less so when Micah makes her a “one night only” proposition. Obviously one night only doesn’t cut it, so they agree to continue to hook-up while Micah draws/paints Rana. The one stipulation – they can’t fall in love with each other.
This book is hot and emotional and I loved it! Both Rana and Micah have serious issues personally and with their families that they need to work out, so it makes navigating their relationship that much harder. I could relate to Rana so much. Personality wise, we’re not at all alike, but there have been so many times when I have tried to reinvent myself for the benefit of others. Older and wiser, etc., I now realize it is much easier to be myself! SPOILER – Micah is a survivor of a murder attempt, so he is dealing with the ramifications of the attack. My heart broke more than once for both of these characters, but the way Rai writes both character arcs was so fulfilling to read. I highly recommend this book!
