About this ebook

Workaholic Blaine Stephens dreams of ditching his Maui wellness-resort penthouse for a bacon cheeseburger and internet access. Until personal chef Serena Thompson shows him the sexiest way to unwind!

To slow his all-work-and-no-play pace, Blaine Stephens’s family thought two weeks at a wellness resort in Maui would be the perfect Christmas present. But chowing down on tofu and navel-gazing is the workaholic software engineer’s version of hell. Until gorgeous brunette Selena Thompson greets him in her figure-hugging chef’s coat…

Most people would kill for two weeks of sun, sand, and relaxation. But most people don’t have a pilot project that’s going down the tubes along with a media leak showing his driverless car mowing down a dog and an old lady—even if it was just a simulation. Maybe a naked soak in his penthouse hot tub would do Blaine some good…especially if the delicious chef joins him.

Despite the resort’s no-fraternization policy, Serena’s looking at him like she wants him to be her next meal. And soon they’re exploring every decadent pleasure the resort has to offer. In two weeks, Selena will move to France, and he’ll be back at work trying to salvage his project. But Blaine can’t help wishing this holiday hookup didn’t have to end.

Take control. Feel the rush. Explore your fantasies. Harlequin Dare publishes sexy romances featuring powerful alpha males and bold, fearless heroines exploring their deepest fantasies.

Ratings and reviews

Blaine Stephens is a workaholic and his forced vacation to Maui leads him to Selena. She's his personal chef at the Wellness Center. Their attraction is immediate and as they spend a great deal of time together they can't get enough of each other - even if it breaks all the rules. This romance keeps you in suspense as Blaine and Selena's passion for each other becomes more than either of them expected. I really enjoyed their story.

Two career driven characters throw caution to the wind to explore their chemistry. Very enjoyable and sensual story with exciting island adventures and the realistic challenge of finding time for relaxation and destressing for some mind and body balance. I like that they support and encouragement one another and love how their working relationship builds into friendship that blossoms as what's truly most important is revealed. Entertaining with just a little drama to raise the hackles but really a sweet romance that made me smile. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Lately I am so not into this kind of book... I know that Blaine is a good looking and has a body like a viking which is so my type but I don't believe that lust can turn into love in a short time. And Selena's broken the rules behaviors to have sex with Blaine doesn't impress me at all. Of course the book is sexy and steamy but I don't feel any chemistry between Blaine and Selena at all. And Blaine has too many activities to do that I don't believe he can relax with those one bit. I understand that the author wants the book to be a sexy insta-love or even a sexy and steamy holiday romance which if I was younger, I would appreciate and enjoy reading it but not right now.
