When Madeline Hale came back to her old hometown for a friend's wedding, she was a totally different girl from the chubby bookworm she had been 12 years ago. She still had the brains, but now she was the chief chemist for a hot cosmetics company, and she definitely had a much-improved body to go along with her new image. It doesn't take her very long to run into Austin Jericho, her old crush. He's as gorgeous as ever, and Madeline can't help but want a little fling while she's back in town, just to prove to herself that she's in control...Austin Jericho can't believe how much Maddie Hale has changed. She's no longer the shy, innocent schoolgirl who brought him blueberry muffins and tutored him after school. Now she's drop-dead gorgeous and sinfully sensuous, as well. The only problem is, Austin has just decided to settle down with a sweet little wife, and although he hasn't met that sweet little wife yet, Maddie's definitely not fitting the bill. Maybe a fling wouldn't be such a bad thing, but Austin wants more - not only does he want a sweet wife, but he also wants that prime piece of property he's been offered if he can find marriage material before Miss Marshalyn leaves for Florida. Will he give in to his desire for Maddie, or will he push her away to find someone like she used to be?This book was h-o-t! It definitely lived up to the Blaze standards, and then some! I could identify with Madeline, since once upon a time I was an ugly duckling. I was glad that she was able to make something of her life and take control. Austin was also incredible, and you could just feel the sparks when you picked up this book! I can't wait to read the next book in the series, 'The Fantasy Factor,' by the same author. The author of this book just draws you into the story so well, and uses humor as well as sizzling passion to make this a great read. Definitely a keeper, but be forewarned - if you aren't already hooked on the Blaze line of books, you probably will be once you read this book! :)
HOT! HOT! HOT!

I bought this book because I love stories about cowboys. I am not sure if this is the first or second book about three brothers. The next one will be out soon. In this one a woman comes back to town for a friends wedding and finds her old high school crush is just as hot as ever. A bad boy in his youth, he has settled down and now wants to marry a good girl. But Maddie has changed from a good girl to a bad girl. But the attraction is still there. He fights it for a while but finally gives in. A highly recommended book.
