Cameron Westcott has spent eight years recovering from heartbreak by keeping romantic entanglements casual and simple. He’s never minded being called a manwhore, but after two years immersing himself in his new winery, he might be ready for the next chapter. Especially when he meets a sexy wine distributor—only she says she isn’t interested.
Following a bitter divorce, Brooke Ellis relocated to Ribbon Ridge to rebuild her life. Things will never be the same for her, and she’s coming to terms with that reality when she meets charming, persistent Cam. She can’t imagine a happy ever after given his reputation, but he makes her feel so good.
As the sparks between them intensify, they’re both hesitant to commit for very different reasons. Or are they really just sabotaging their own futures? If they can trust each other—and themselves—they may realize that what they share is too good to let slip away.
Previously published as So Good (So Hot #1) in 2017
Review:
Turn On offers a complicated romance–both Cam and Brooke have their specific reasons for wanting to keep members of the opposite sex at arm’s length.
Well, except when they’re busy doing other things that require being a little closer than that, I mean 😉
What made me a little crazy here was their hesitation to talk to each other about the specifics of those reasons–I get it at first, when they’re thinking they’ll keep things friendly and casual (be warned, there’s a whole lot of getting hot and heavy and then putting on the brakes here and it’s frustrating all around)–but once they decide internally that each is in love with the other and outwardly declare that if nothing else, they’re for sure friends, it makes a lot less sense. Especially when one of them decides to use their reason to break up with the other–that tipped everything over into the this is really not okay column.
Ultimately the ending is satisfying and of course the reader has been rooting for them to get together the whole time (along with their family and friends, of course) so I guess all’s well that ends well can apply here, I just wish it was a less frustrating journey all around to get to that point.
FWIW, 8 years ago me apparently had less issues with these details when it was originally published as So Good in 2017, so it can absolutely be a case of I’m the problem, it’s me 😉
