~ SYNOPSIS ~
Have you ever wished for a moment that you could pretend to live the life of someone else? Escape the harsh reality that your own is anything but perfect?
Quinn had always been forced to put her own needs last. With an absent father and a mother who drowns herself daily in a bottle of Rum, there was no other option.
Jett was the distraction she needed, even if it was just for one night. A void filler, a chance for a freeing moment to allow herself to feel something other than emptiness.
He wasn’t what she expected…
Gentle
Her life didn’t have room for a man like Jett.
Unpredictable
But now it was too late, there was no turning back.
Desire
Nothing would ever be the same.

~ EXCERPT ~
It’d been two days. Two days of unanswered calls, unanswered texts. Two days of driving by her house day and night, only to find it empty. I spoke with her boss at Spencer’s, and he too said she had taken some time off.
With each day my heart sank a little more with the thought that I had thrown away the best thing that had ever happened to me. This was on me, completely. I acted like the biggest dick when I should have just talked to her.
“Hey, numb nuts, you still pouting?” Kade shouted as he exited the French doors onto the back patio.
“I need to change my locks,” I grumbled. Resting my head back against the chair, I closed my eyes, attempting to block him out.
“Don’t blame me for your massive amount of shit. I’m just here for the pool—oh, and the free beer.” He chuckled as he pulled his shirt up and over his head, then took off and jumped, cannonballing into the pool.
“Whew,” he yelled out just before hitting the water. The cool splash flowed backward, drenching the entire patio. All I could do was shake my head at the ass. He was doing everything possible to pull me from my slump. I picked up my phone and checked once again for any response only to come up empty.
“Give the girl some time. I know it’s driving you crazy, not being able to fix this, but you need to try to give her some space.”
Kade climbed out of the pool, shaking his hair, once again spraying water in every direction. Cocky son of a bitch chuckled as I jumped from my chair and stepped back.

I'm really loving C.A. Harms and the awesome stories that she continues to gift me with. This story brought out every emotion. It had the angst that you get when the characters constantly push each other away, it had me laughing out loud, and it most definitely had me crying. There were also so many events that took place that I did not see coming. I loved the relationship that grew between Jett and Quinn. When they first met, they both thought it would be just one night. Quinn's life was hectic. She was constantly taking care of her mom leaving her no time for herself. Jett's life was busy running his restaurant. When their paths cross again, Jett can't get Quinn out of his head. Quinn constantly pushes him away because she feels that she doesn't have room for him in her life, but Jett doesn't let that stop him. Their relationship starts as friends and little by little, Jett makes his way into Quinn's heart. When Quinn finally lets her walls down, and realizes her true feelings for Jett, she no longer holds her feelings back and lets him know exactly how beautiful she thinks he is.
"When I'm with you, all the shit in my life just disappears. For the first time in so damn long, I feel free, like what I need, what I want matters. It's been so long since I felt at ease, it's still hard to figure how you make me feel so carefree. You help me forget. All the torment and garbage that has piled up over the years, it means nothing when I'm with you. But I love it. I love the way you make me feel." Our eyes met once again and my heart raced. "It's beautiful. You're beautiful."
I really enjoyed this story and loved that when Quinn needed Jett the most, he was there for her and her family. Closer to the end of the story was when the tears really started to fall and when I really started to fall in love with Jett. He continued to amaze me throughout Unpredictable and I can't wait to read more about him in throughout this series!
