The Book Junkie Reads . . . The 48-Hour Hookup (Chase Brothers, #4) . . .
Some
hilarious fun with a racoon, a handyman-non-handy-man, a sexy HAVC guy, a
runaway bride, a large tree branch, a snow storm, and some hot, sweaty fun. I
was entertained all the way through this read.
Chase
was infamous for all the wrong reasons and getting away from it all was at the
top of his list of must dos. Claire was not having any better of a time and
being dubbed NYC “Run-away Bride” was no joy for her. Needing an escape, she
goes upstate New York and needs more help than she anticipated. When the help
arrive she gets way more than she bargained for.
The
read was fun, a little quirky, some minor drama, some shared body heat, some
easy banter, and bad publicity. This was my first read from Sarah Balance and
this series. I was tickled. Can two people both with their own infamous history
truly find what neither was looking for?

BLURB
Who knew a sweaty photo would be good for business?
Now unwanted booty calls are coming in as fast as work
orders, and Liam Chase needs to get away. Cue a job upstate. His new client is
hot as hell, but he left NYC to escape attention, not to hook up with the
city’s “Runaway Bride”.
With three disastrous relationships under her belt,
it’s clear Claire Stevens’s judgment sucks. And what’s she’s feeling for
America’s newest sex god? Obviously another hormone-fueled mistake.
But when she accidentally fells a tree on his truck,
leaving them stranded in a winter storm with a chocolate-snatching raccoon,
there’s something to be said for body heat.
Too bad neither can trust their explosive chemistry…

EXCERPT
Liam and Claire burst inside the lodge together, snow swirling in
their wake.
He shut the door against the wind. “Hell of a storm,” he
said.
“Yeah. Some day you’re having.” She immediately regretted
the words. How many times was she going to remind him of that stupid tree?
If he shared similar thoughts, he didn’t mention it. Instead, he
pushed back the hair that had fallen in her face, shocking her so much with the
light contact that she took a step back.
“Sorry,” he said. “I didn’t mean anything. You had a branch…” He
tugged, extracting a small bough from her hair.
“Save it for the fire,” she half-joked. Inside, she was
experiencing total meltdown. He’d touched her. He’d touched her, and he was
spending the night, and she’d had sex dreams about him.
Holy awkward hell.
She realized she’d been staring when he cleared his throat
and pulled his phone from his pocket. “I actually have reception, I think. I’m
going to try to make a couple phone calls.”
She didn’t object, or even give a solid reply. Just a sort
of half nod that had her wishing she’d blink and wake up. So what if he was
pretty much the hottest guy she’d ever laid eyes on? He was still the worst
idea she’d ever had. The worst idea she was still having. Runaway Bride hooking
up with Hot HVAC Guy was not a headline she needed in her life.
And who said anything about hooking up?
This was going to be a long night. A long, cold night spent
thinking about appendages and green eyes and really, really bad ideas.
She watched him walk to the far side of the room to stand by the
window as he made his call. The last she heard of his soft-spoken words
were stuck here and she has a chainsaw.
Great.
Author Info
Sarah and her husband of what he
calls “many long, long years” live on the mid-Atlantic coast with their six young
children, all of whom are perfectly adorable when they’re asleep. She never
dreamed of becoming an author, but as a homeschooling mom, she often jokes she
writes fiction because if she wants anyone to listen to her, she has to make
them up. As it turns out, her characters aren’t much better than the kids, but
nevertheless, you’ll find her writing sexy contemporary romance for Entangled
Publishing until they throw her out.
