Synopsis:
In
the latest eBook original novel in Ruthie Knox’s scorching-hot Camelot
series, a no-strings fling looks an awful lot like falling in love—or
flirting with disaster.
Fresh
out of a fiasco of a marriage, Katie Clark has retreated to her
hometown to start over. The new Katie is sophisticated, cavalier, and
hell-bent on kicking butt at her job in her brother’s security firm. But
on her first assignment—digging up the truth about the stalker
threatening a world-famous singer-songwriter—Katie must endure the
silent treatment from a stern but sexy partner who doesn’t want her help
. . . or her company.
Sean
Owens knows that if he opens his mouth around Katie, she’ll instantly
remember him as the geeky kid who sat behind her in high school. Silence
is golden, but he can’t keep quiet forever, not with Katie stampeding
through their investigation. It’s time for Sean to step up and take
control of the case, and his decade-old crush. If he can break through
Katie’s newfound independence, they just might find they make a perfect
team—on the road, on the job, and in bed.
Includes
a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these
Loveswept titles: How to Misbehave, Along Came Trouble, and About Last
Night.
I didn’t make a single review note while I read this. I sank into the story and kept reading until the end. That’s one indicator of a 5-flame book for me. And when I wanted to re-read all or part of it again, well, that was the second indicator.
Flirting with Disaster was just perfect for me from start to finish. I love Ruthie Knox’s writing. So many smart lines. It was really terrific.
Katie’s been dumped by her husband and returns to Ohio from Alaska to start her new life. I love that she isn’t defeated by what happened to her. She smart and strong and doesn’t take any crap. Both Sean and Judah fall for her.
Sean is just a mess. He’s smart and sexy and sorta messed up in the head. He’s been running for a long time. But when he finds out that he and Katie are good together, not just as partners, and work colleagues, but also in the sack (or should I say SUV?), their relationship starts changing to something more than just a fling. Ruthie Knox does a fantastic job of portraying Sean’s pain without making him look weak.
Katie is a strong, smart woman who has had her share of bad luck, and its so easy to want her to have her HEA.
I was surprised to find I ended up liking Judah, when he was sort of a pain in the anatomy at the start of the book. I thought he was a great secondary character. I loved the relationship he developed with Katie, and maybe it was Katie that was just really good at people. She knew when to push and when to step back.
So wonderful to read a book that you can just sit back and enjoy, where the writing is smart and polished, the story tight, and the secondary characters bringing that little extra dash of spice to the story. I can’t think of a single thing I didn’t like about this. .I couldn't put it down. Just what I want in a romance. A good story, lovely characters, a bit of angst, and HEA. Go read this series.
Thanks to Random House and Loveswept’s Netgalley Catalog for the opportunity to read this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
