Kayla Santomas has never been on a blind date. Ever. One bad marriage and way too many useless relationships have convinced her to allow her best friend to set her up. Tired of dating frogs, she decides she wants dinner with a nice guy as a birthday present to herself. Who knows? He might not be so bad.

After losing part of his leg in Afghanistan, Ryan Mitchell lost interest in dating and even worse, the urge to get aroused. He finally gives into his badgering family and decides to go back into the dating world. What better way to do it than to allow his brother and friend to set him up? According to them, he needs the extra help.

Sparks fly between Kayla and Ryan. Each quickly realizes that they want more time with the other. Hours rush past them in a blur. But when Ryan says something that Kayla misinterprets, will this be the end of a great night? Ryan will have to forget his pride and say what's inside in order to keep her.

Reader Warning: This is a super sexy short that contains: A stubborn war hero, a mouthy Latina, and some incredibly sizzling loving. Your e-reader might need some cooling.

MY REVIEW:

Kayla comes from a well to do family that really wants to see her settled and with a man.  It’s not like she’s never had a man in fact she was married before but that ended in divorce.  Now she just can’t seem to find the right fit.  The blind dates from parents and friends have been nightmares.

     Now she is all most 30 and the “No more frogs” rule she will have to fudge on.  She would like to find the one.  So, she agreed to a hook-up with Ryan Mitchell.  She just hopes he is not a frog.

     Ryan Mitchell has never had a confidence issue before until now.  He had the looks, friends, and fit for military duty.  Yet, was also injured in the military and lost part of his leg.  Now he is not only in pain but he is unsure of everything.  Tired of sad looks he gets for having a prosthetic leg especially from women.

     Watch these two find a place in this world for each other where no one else seems to really see them at least not the real them.  See how they awaken their true selves just by trusting their inner selves. 

     I really enjoyed this book.  However, it did remind me of another book I have on my blog that was almost the same.  Both had similar storyline and outcomes but both equally good.
