A classic case of "don't judge a book by its cover." If I hadn't received this as an ARC, I would never have picked it up and I would have missed out on a great story.

When art teacher Shelby tells new neighbor Wyatt (Ty) to stop revving his motorcycle at 2am, sparks fly, but not the good kind. Both make snap judgements; Ty thinks Shelby is a bitch (and tells her so) and Shelby thinks he just another outlaw tattooed, motorcycle-riding bad guy. After Shelby realizes the troubled new boy in her art class is Ty's son, she offers to help this new family who just may help battle her demons.

Sweet and sexy, the dynamic between this couple was surprising and different from most romance novels. Shelby is the one struggling to connect after years of emotional abuse from dead preacher father and I loved how O'Keefe explored Ty's inner struggle to not just be the "lay" and show her he wanted more than just hot sex.

Bravo.
