Synopsis
Unfortunate inconvenience, that is the way Piper describes her encounter with Mason Dashel. From the minute the alpha male interrupts her morning after hangover on the airplane, she can’t stand to be near the egotistical maniac with a booming voice and annoying sex appeal. But to her misfortune she finds herself not only having to spend time with him at their best friends’ wedding but she also can’t seem to shake the infuriating man in her everyday life.
Psychotic Una-bomber with the constant mensies is the way Mason describes his flying companion, Piper Shores. After a horrific break up with his now ex, Brooke, he finds himself being engulfed by the temperamental red head that just so happens to be the maid of honor to one of his best friends, Lexi. Even though she grates on his every nerve, he can’t help but want a piece of her.
The two are like oil and water, a science experiment ready to explode any second but they can’t help but be drawn to each other. The only problem is… there are other people they are involved with who not only prevent Mason and Piper from being together, but interrupt any chance they have at making a relationship work.
Long Excerpt
She was just
closing her eyes when a luggage bag was placed on the seat next to
her, slightly hitting her shoulders and rocking her sensitive body to
the side. Her eyes shot open because the sudden movement made her
stomach roll. She breathed through her mouth and willed all contents
of the cheeseburger she had this morning to settle itself back down
in the pit of her stomach. She slowly turned her head to see what the
disturbance was, but only saw the waist of what looked like a very
fit man. Not able to move her head much, she just turned back around.
She didn’t care who sat next to her, as long as they were gentle,
didn’t smell, and kept their mouth shut.
She closed her
eyes again, willing her body to relax, but was unable to because the
brute who just sat next to her shuffled around looking for his
seatbelt and talked very loudly on his phone.
“That’s
great, I’m happy for you,” he said in a very sarcastic tone. How
odd, Piper thought, didn’t the guy know he was in a small confined
space and everyone around him could hear his conversation?
“What do you
want me to say? I’m happy, alright.” Piper tried to ignore the
way his voice was rising, but couldn’t, especially when every word
he shouted felt like sandpaper scratching against her brain. “You
want the truth? Fine, I could give two shits about what kind of
amazing opportunity you might have.” He used air quotes when he
said amazing, which was odd since he was on the phone.
He continued,
“No Brooke, you lost the chance at my approval when you decided
that I wasn’t good enough for you. I’m no longer your man.
Therefore, I don’t give a flying fuck what happens in your life.”
He was now speaking in a controlled, but very stern, voice. If Piper
wasn’t so annoyed with the conversation, she would have thought his
voice was almost sexy, in a disturbing machismo sort of way.
The flight
attendant started shutting the airplane door and the conversation
that Mr. Buff-man was having was bordering on obnoxious and extremely
annoying.
“I’m not
sorry and I refuse to apologize…Oh, come on Brooke, you have got to
be kidding me. It’s shit like that, that I don’t miss. Yeah, I
don’t miss…you can be such a bitch.” He pointed to his chest
when he said, “Me, I’m a bastard? Really funny because I remember
you’re the one who…”
That was it;
Piper couldn’t take it anymore. She reached over to the guy’s
phone, grabbed it out of his hand, pressed the end button, and then
tossed it on his lap. She readjusted her sunglasses and put her head
back on the head rest. From the corner of her eye, she could see the
man leaning forward looking at her with his mouth open in shock. She
just shrugged. Served him right.
She was just
closing her eyes when he tapped her on the shoulder. She didn’t
look at him because that would require her to turn her head and she
had used all her energy to turn his phone off.
“What?” she
asked, while staring straight ahead.
“Who the fuck
do you think you are…?”
Piper held up
her hand to silence him. “I’m going to stop you right there,
buddy. I suggest you close that fly trap you have hanging wide open
right now and silently thank me. I did you a favor.”
“A favor? You
just made my life ten times more difficult.”
“Well, that’s
your own damn fault for getting involved with, who I can only imagine
is, a psychotic whore. So once again, you are welcome.” Piper heard
the guy’s cell phone ring, but he ignored it and turned his phone
off, shoving it in his pocket. Piper refrained from smirking, but
still felt the corners of her lips curl up.
She closed her
eyes again and tried to calm her stomach that was rolling around from
the movement of hanging up the phone for the man next to her. Over
the plane speakers, the flight attendant started informing passengers
about safety requirements, how to buckle one’s seatbelt and fasten
oxygen masks in case of a loss of cabin pressure. Piper just let the
words slip out of her mind. If things went awry, she would just play
the helpless girl role and have someone help her.
Just when Piper
felt herself starting to relax, the man next to her bumped her arm
that was resting on the armrest. The sudden movement made her fall to
the side, since all of her weight was on her one elbow and her
stomach rolled forward. She gripped the seat in front of her and
glared at the man through her sunglasses.
“Jesus, brute.
Learn to share a freaking armrest.”
“Share? You’re
hogging the whole damn thing.” He exhaled and then looked at her,
studying her carefully. “Just my luck, I get to sit next to a bitch
that looks like the Unabomber.”
“I beg your
pardon?”
She snapped her
head, a little too quickly, at the man and it was the first glimpse
she actually had of him. He was surprisingly attractive. She was
expecting some massively hairy and disgusting man to be sitting next
to her, but he wasn’t…not even close. He had a dark complexion,
like he might be an Italian, he had pretty-boy features, deep brown
eyes, brown hair and a scruffy face. Lord have mercy, he was more
attractive than she wanted him to be.
He waved up and
down her body with his hand. “Why the hell are you dressed like
that? You know, when you’re inside, you’re supposed to take off
your sunglasses.”
“Well, aren’t
you charming?” she said sarcastically. Even though he was
attractive, too attractive, he was still a prick. “Why don’t you
mind your own business and I’ll mind mine. How does that sound?”
He just shrugged
and turned back around so he was facing the front. There, that was
easy enough. She started closing her eyes again when he spoke up once
more.
Review
Holy Fuck this book was Awesome!!
There are a lot of characters in this book and it's not just about Mason and Piper's relationship there are other relationships that we get involved with.
The war that starts between Piper and Mason is pretty hilarious. Through a good portion of the book I had no idea that these two were going to get together because they were so far apart. When they finally do give into to their desires it's off the charts hot! But unfortualy it's not just about them and things are very very complicated. Just when I thought things were going to work out things fall apart then the book ends! No happy ending. Some hot steamy, up against the wall sex.
Quote:
"Did you think kittens were going to come out and lick me while I ate cupcakes in glitter land after you broke up with me?"
"My little Dick Clark has been doing a countdown since I got off the airplane and it's just not right to not let his balls drop. It's just not right."
"Piper Shores would make him keel over and die either from heartbreak or eternal erection syndrome."

About The Author
When I was in high school I occasionally read books but was consumed by other teenage things so I didn't take the time to appreciate a good book on a cloudy day, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. It wasn't until I received a Kindle for Christmas one year that my world completely flipped upside down. When looking for books I came across the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and I haven't turned back since.
You can either find my head buried in my Kindle, listening to inspiring heart ripping music or typing away on the computer twisting and turning the lives of my characters while driving my readers crazy with anticipation.
I currently reside in beautiful Colorado Springs where the sun is always shining and there is a trail waiting to be hiked on every corner. I share a lovely and warm home with the love of my life and my five, four-legged children.
