From The Book Junkie Reads . . . One Night with the CEO (Suits Undone, #2) . . .
Off to a good start. The writing, good. The plot line, good. The hot hunky CEO, excellent. Learning money can't always buy you what you want. Good lesson to learn.
Karen was driven, focused, and looking to have a little fun in the sun of Puerto Rico. What she was not expecting was sexy, intelligent, best man, Mark. Mark was looking to settle down himself. He feels he found that in Karen, but she had other plans.
I began to form prediction and assumption right away. Boy was I surprised that most of them did not happen that way. Don't misunderstand me. Knocked off my feet. I was not, but contented and satisfied. I am. Suits Undone series will get a read from me. Take me from what the norm is.

BlurbAfter some disappointing dates, Karen Ramirez has concluded that great sex is for other people. Especially since medical school won’t leave her much time for romance anyway. Then she runs into tall, dark, charming, and ridiculously wealthy Mark Lansing—and quickly reconsiders celibacy. Adding to temptation? Mark will be the best man at her sister’s wedding and the nuptial destination is sultry Puerto Rico. Now this trip might just be sensory overload—or the perfect chance for Karen to find the groove she’s never had.
For
CEO Mark Lansing, his perfect match would be smart, sweet, and funny, with long
legs and silky hair the color of dark chocolate. In short, someone a lot like
Karen. But Mark’s looking to settle down, while a relationship is the last
thing on Karen’s mind. So Mark proposes a plan: he and Karen will use their
weekend in paradise to sizzling advantage—before downshifting to friendship.
The only problem? Karen is all Mark can think of when he gets home. Now his
most challenging negotiation will be for the one thing money can’t buy .

Well, that had escalated quickly.
Well, that had escalated quickly.
Mark’s mouth captured hers. She tasted
salt and a hint of sweetness on his lips, a heady combination that made her
moan in appreciation. She arched into him, wanting—no, needing— to feel his
body against hers. He responded by snaking his hand under her hair and
caressing her neck. Seconds later, he wrapped his other hand around her middle
and stroked her back. Mark’s kiss promised a full-body experience, and she
shivered in response to all the points of contact. Finally, he drew back,
gulping in air. Oh, right.
She needed to breathe. Funny how easily he made her forget a minor
inconvenience like breathing.
She pressed her face against his chest
and held on to the lapels of his suit jacket as she took in air. “What’s
happening?”
He brushed his fingers against her
hair. “I’m sorry for acting like an ass.”
She looked up at him then. “That’s your
version of an apology?”
He stepped back and ran a hand through
his hair. “No, that’s my version of being selfish. What I should have done was
apologize for being a jerk to you. You didn’t deserve it.”
She nodded. “You’ll get no argument
from me there.”
He stepped toward her and reached for
her hands. “I wanted to kiss you, but I didn’t think it would be a smart move,
so I took my frustration out on you.”
“And the kiss?”
He dropped her hands and shoved his
own in his pockets. “The kiss is harder to explain.”
“Um, unless I’m missing something, the
phenomenon is called attraction. Your pheromones and my pheromones are sending
chemo-signals to each other. Totally normal.”
He gave her his trademark half smile.
“Totally not a good idea, either.”
She didn’t disagree with him. Doing anything
with Mark didn’t figure in her plans, no matter how much he’d nearly owned her
with a single kiss. “Again, you’ll get no argument from me. Still, that kiss
was pretty freaking hot.”
Mark closed his eyes and raised his
head to the night sky. “Stop doing that. I’m relying on you to be the voice of
reason in this situation.”
Ha. That was cute. But she’d oblige
him anyway, because she needed to put the kiss in its proper place: a momentary
lapse in judgment not to be repeated. If she didn’t, he’d consume her thoughts,
and she couldn’t afford the distraction. “Mark, look around. We’re in Puerto
Rico. You look hot. I look hot. It’s hot, period. And we’re standing in front
of a garden. You hear that?”
“What?”
“The coquis.”
“What’s a coqui?”
She resisted the urge to roll her
eyes. “Only one of the most important cultural symbols of Puerto Rico.” When he
stared at her blankly, she continued. “The tiny frogs, Mark. You must have seen
them everywhere at the airport. T-shirts, mugs, hats, you name it. Listen.”
They faced each other in silence.
“That’s their mating call,” she told him. “They’re practically begging us to
lock lips. You can’t be faulted for wanting to kiss me under these
circumstances.”
He bridged the distance between them.
“What if I told you I’ve wanted to kiss you every single second I’ve been in
your presence? Can you explain that?”
She gulped. “Well, that’s a little
harder to explain.”
He pressed his hand against the back
of her neck and pulled her flush against him. “And I’ve never wanted to stop at
kissing. I want us to do more than that. A lot more.”

income) led her to take the law school admissions test instead. She practiced
First Amendment and media law in the nation's capital for ten years before
returning to her creative roots. Now she spends most of her days writing love
stories about smart women and the complicated men who love them. Okay, let's be
