Blurb:
I’m an all-or-nothing man—100 percent focused on whatever has my attention.
First it was serving my country in the Special Forces. Then it was building my business. Right now it’s the hot blonde at the bar who’s about to become another notch on my bedpost.
But women never keep my attention for more than a night.
Until I peel off Skylar Anderson’s clothes and her mask starts to crumble, showing me glimpses of the girl she’s hiding. She’s funny, sexy and vulnerable and throws me out of bed before I can catch my breath and suggest breakfast.
When I start my last undercover job on a yacht, turns out, she’s one of the crew. I try, but I can’t look away.
Her high ponytail shows off her kissable neck that tastes like summer.
Her short uniform reveals the killer legs that were wrapped around me last night.
And her provocative smile? I know what that mouth is capable of.
I want to explore her body, discover her secrets and sail off into the sunset with her.
I might want to go all in for Skylar, but she should stay away from me. I’ve got secrets of my own and they can only bring her trouble.
This is a stand-alone novel.
✯✯5 Perfectly Right Stars!!!✯✯
When I read The Ruthless Gentleman I fell fit Hayden Wolf and I was dying to meet his loving, caring and very protective younger brother Landon. Louise came thru with my wishes and pairing her with Skylar is a double win for me!!
Landon has had a career in the British Special Force and then he opened up his own security business. He recently sold it and has made enough money for him to not work. But, that’s not him. Landon has been offered another job with the British government.
Landon’s looking to finally take a vacation before his next mission starts. Until he runs into an old work buddy. His friend needs Landon’s help. His first instinct is nope. Until he hears there’s civilians lives at risk. All he’s gotta do is go undercover as a junior deck hand on a yacht and relay the guys daily activities of who he’s seeing and where he’s coming and going too. It should’ve been easy as cake. Except when he walks onto the boat and Skylar is there. The only girl whoever made him want a second night with before she kicked him out.
Skylar doesn’t do relationships. Relaying on a guy will never be her. That doesn’t mean she’s sworn off men completely. Whenever she gets an itch she scratches it. Landon made her feel things she’s never felt before.
When he walks onto the ship she works on she knows she’s screwed. She can’t get away from him, he’s everywhere she goes. Her best friend keeps trying to get Skylar to enjoy her summer with him. Have a summertime fling.
Skylar and Landon finally give into their intense chemistry. They start to enjoy themselves and they start sharing things they’ve never shared with anybody. But, Landon’s still hasn’t told Skylar why he’s on the yacht and Skylar is still running from her past. When she goes out for dinner with her friend and he’s having dinner with his brother little do they know they’re going to the same place, same people. Then everything falls apart.
This was an amazing story!!! I loved both Landon and Skylar more now than I did before. Really wish I can get more from them, Hayden & Avery. I can’t help it I’m greedy lol. Can’t wait for Louise’s next release already.
Excerpt:
“Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?”
For some reason, Landon’s compliment didn’t make me wince the way some men’s comments did. Everything about him was different and it had thrown me off kilter. His warm breath on my neck shouldn’t have made me shiver. He shouldn’t ease the ever-present knot in my stomach or have me wanting to slide my hand into his as we walked. He shouldn’t make me feel safe. “You didn’t.”
“Well, you do. Not that it’s any surprise.”
“Because you’re a gentleman who prefers blondes,” I said, nudging him gently with my elbow, trying to lighten the mood.
He pulled in a breath and scraped his hand through his hair. “I’m beginning to think I’m a man who just prefers you.”
I focused on the cobbled street in front of us. “Me?” Had I been mistaken about the ex-girlfriend in town or the girl on Tinder? I tried to hold my breath to ensure I heard his reply.
“Yeah, you. I like you. More and more.”
My stomach swooped, and I tried to think of a response. My head was telling me to run. Far away. I didn’t want to fall for anyone. I’d worked hard to stay single all these years—to keep away from temptation. But now, temptation right in front of me, I found myself rooted to the spot, wanting to know what was next. “Okay.”
“Okay?” he asked.
I nodded, unsure of what to say. Unsure of how I felt. I knew I found Landon attractive.
I knew I liked him too. But I also knew that I’d been single all these years for a reason.
He wrapped his large hand around my upper arm to steady me when I stumbled over a loose cobblestone. We stopped, and I looked up at him as he swept his thumb across my cheekbone. “I’m only going to ask you this once, and you don’t have to decide now, but stay with me tonight?”
“Landon . . .” Somehow, I couldn’t say no to him, even though I knew I shouldn’t say yes.
“Think about it.”
