Afraid To Love by MJ Nightingale Review

5 Smooches!

Synopsis

Learning to trust again is the hardest thing to do.

Ana Perrot is crazy. Crazy about sex, and pleasing her lovers. She is passionate and as fiery as her red hair. She eats men like air. She is also willing to submit to any man anywhere. But outside of the bedroom, Ana is an independent woman who lives her own life by her own rules. And, her biggest rule . . . she won’t do long term relationships. She refuses to fall in love . . . again.

Teddy O’Rourke is an easy going, laid back Tampa bartender at one of the most popular clubs in town. All about family and enjoying life including all the women that throw themselves at his feet, he has no problems finding willing partners. His football player body, his personality, his warm hazel eyes all ooze sex appeal. He is the perfect package in every way for a woman like Ana, well for any woman really. An ex-cop, his instincts tell him Ana is one hell of a woman, but she is wounded and scarred by the past. What are her secrets? What will make her trust him? Why is she so afraid to love?

A one night stand, that is full of surprises for Teddy, opens his eyes to new possibilities. A single man enjoying his freedom meets his match in the bedroom, and elsewhere. He sees a future with Ana, a counselor for troubled youth. But could she be persuaded to fall . . . and to trust again?

Review

This book took me by surprise! The blurb does not do it justice! This is not your average book about fear of commitment. I really fell in love with this heartfelt story right away and felt connected to the characters.  On the surface Ava is a strong and independent woman, living her life free of commitment. Underneath her tough exterior she is scared and broken

Teddy is a bartender with a past he prefers not to talk about. Tall, strong and gorgeous he is exactly what Ava is looking for in a one night stand.

This book was super steamy and packed with lots of amazing, really well written sex scenes, but it never lost sight of the heart of the story. It never felt like sex just for the sake of sex. When these two characters come together the sparks fly! There was some light BDSM elements, but nothing extreme. I absolutely fell in love with Teddy! Such a great character, big, sexy and dominate in the bedroom and at the same time really sweet J I absolutely loved everything about this story, a perfect balance of sex, romance and real emotion. I recommend everyone pick it up!!
