Zach Taylor is the typical overly protective big brother. He just happens to also be a very sexy, and sometimes pig headed marine, with a tender heart lurking beneath. What Zach doesn't expect when he arrives back home after being out of the country is for his baby sister to be missing. What he is faced with instead, is a gorgeous blonde that not only gets him hot and horney, but knows exactly how to push his buttons and irritate the heck out of him.

Then when Zach finds out that his heiress sister is planning on getting married to someone he doesn't know, Zach decides to chase after her to break up the relationship. What he didn't plan on was having sexy Lily tagging along to keep him in line, or the realization that his sister and her husband to be, have been kidnapped. It is up to him to get them back before it is too late, but that isn't as easy as he thinks. Especially, with Lily around.

The chemistry between Zach and Lily is what makes this book a fun and light hearted contemporary romance. The suspense is not really a factor, neither is the mystery angle. It is mostly just about the romance, the attraction, the constant bickering and the hot sex. Of course, there are a couple little twists to the plot and a somewhat surprise ending that makes this book a little higher on the star rating.

Is it worth buying?
If you are looking for a romance novel that isn't too touchy feely or overly dramatic, than it is a fun read. The price however makes me a little more reluctant to say yes so easily. Therefore, as the consumer, you need to make the decision for yourself based on your own preferences and finances. If you could find this book on sale, than it might just be worth it.

This book should have been more fun. I loved the author's Skintight about a Vegas showgirl, but just couldn't keep this one going. Lily is the well-rounded heroine and Zach is the tough marine who misjudges her. A lot of effort goes into converting Lily's chubbiness into bombshell voluptuousness, and although I liked her gumption, I found it hard to see her as a femme fatale.
The search for Zach's sister and her fiancee, supposedly kidnapped, stretches the reader's credulity. Lily never expresses much concern for her missing friend, while she and Zach indulge in romantic hi-jinks. Lily's shopping trips, and effort to makeover the sister of the missing boyfriend seem pretty trivial when supposedly a dark and twisted scheme is underway.
