The Rebel Mya Washington is a rebel. Or at least, that’s what her family has always said. As the youngest of a set of triplets, she has always been the more rebellious of the three…even though she never considered herself a rebel. Outspoken? Yes. Rule Breaker? Sometimes. Trouble Maker? Nev—occasionally. Growing tired of being typecast and misunderstood, Mya moves to New York looking for a fresh start away from the life she grew up in and out of the shadow of her older sisters. Striking out on her own may have put a strain on the family dynamic, but it's the new beginning Mya was looking for. But after the unexpected death of her mother, she is blindsided yet again by a wedding invitation she didn’t see coming. Her father’s upcoming marriage only cements the wall she’s put up around her heart. Because if her father could be such an utter disappointment, why should she even attempt to open up to any man? Enter Colton Davis.

I have to say that I was trying to find something negative in this story because it is difficult for me to give an adult contemporary story 5 stars. It happens with YA's but Adult? That is very rare. There is always something I absolutely don't like but with this one? I couldn't find a negative thing.
I started with Mya—a woman who isn't afraid to speak her mind whenever she wants and is the rebel of the three triplets. She works as a bartender at Dukes & Duchess and she has sworn off guys, thanks to daddy dearest, getting married to someone 6 months after burying Mya's mom. Kelsey, her best friend and coworker, tells Mya she needs to have fun and hook up with someone fast.
Maybe Kelsey's right. Maybe a fling could help take my mind off of things. Operation Fling Finder will be in full effect on Friday. And there's no stressful situation that a hot man and a cold drink can't solve.
Colton Davis arrives at Dukes & Duchess to celebrate his nephew's birthday party and his eyes set on a beautiful bartender. He waits for his turn at the bar. The flirting starts immediately and the chemistry between them is palpable to everyone around them. Unfortunately, Nicks, Mya's boss calls for her to return to work and ...
Magic was happening with Colton Davis. Sexy, chemistry-filled, sexually compatible, get-me-out-of-my-months-long-sexual-draught magic was happening ... And I was just cock-blocked...for a tampon!
Colton returns the next night in hopes to see Mya at work and when they meet again, they go out to eat and give in to their needs. Mya spends the night and she doesn't like what that means so she leaves. Colton isn't a man that gives up easily so he goes after Mya and Mya starts opening up to Colton until she realizes she is way too deep.
"What does 'Imitation makes you who they are; Individuality makes you who you are' mean to you?"
"It was the last thing my mother told me...before she passed away."
Mya has commitment issues and, at first, I wanted to dislike her. But let's face it. Her male example failed entirely and she truly believed that men were like that, as well. That's why I couldn't dislike Mya. It is very understandable what she went through and I would have done the same thing, guard my heart.
Colton is the definition of sex...I am not kidding. The guy is handsome and His voice rich and textured like music. He is very confident in himself and he knows what he wants: Mya. Nothing will stop him from having her. Colton is a very nice guy and very wild in bed. Two perfect combinations that a woman wants, am I right, ladies?
Colton and Mya remind me of my boyfriend and I—neither my boyfriend and I nor Colton and Mya wanted a relationship. I like their relationship because I related to them immensely. Colton adores Mya, even when he knows Mya doesn't want anything serious. And I am sad to admit, that happened with me too, until I finally admitted my feelings.
"I got your message and I heard you. I heard it in your voice," I read quietly. "So no I'm not going to chase you... But I'm not going to give up on you either. But when you're ready to admit it, know that I feel the same way."
I am very positive Colton and Mya's love for each other will never fade, whether they are together or not. Their love is great and amazing and ADDICTING! My heart was racing for the majority of the book! Plus, I read it in an hour and a half. I couldn't put it down!
