Jordan and Georgia’s sexual attraction is instant, mutual and way hot. Despite foot massages, near combustible meetings and other sexy stuff, it takes a long time for any consummation of that desire. For one thing, Jordan begins by completely disapproving of Georgia’s lifestyle. However he soon discovers her lifestyle is that of single mother who has taken on a lot for her children’s sake.

Georgia’s mother goes to the emergency room during Jordan and Georgia’s first, long encounter and Jordan ends up helping out with Georgia’s tumbledown house and her cute kids. Georgia is plenty busy even without that extra emergency. She works as a waitress and sidelines as an exotic dancer because that is what pays the best with the skills she has. And she can’t figure Jordan out. All the brothers - Jordan in particular - are not only sexy but they’re sweet. She isn’t used to the combination and she waits for the catch. Gradually she starts to realize there isn’t one. Instead she and her children are gathered into Jordan’s family and made part of them.

I liked this couple. I liked Jordan’s family. I wished I had read the first few books and gotten to know the other brothers. They sound like quite a bunch. I’m looking forward to reading about the oldest nephew, Casey, who has plenty of the family sex appeal.

The only real problem I had was the same one Georgia has. What does Georgia contribute to Jordan’s life? OK, yeah, sex. Great sex. But he is the answer to any overburdened single mother’s prayer - he’s sexy, he loves her kids, he has money, he’s considerate. Georgia feels overwhelmed by everything he does for her . . . including providing her with a new job by the end of the story. I think I would, too. Maybe any woman would have to wonder what Jordan sees in her.

There’s nothing wrong with Georgia. She’s feisty, she has a great body, she works hard without complaining, she’s a good mother, she’s very - athletic - and, even for Jordan, she’s no pushover. Still I have to admit I wonder what it is that Jordan gets out of the relationship. Well, maybe it helps to meet a guy like that in an exotic dancer’s outfit.
