Hear that sucking sound? That’s New York Times bestseller Jennifer Probst pulling me into Any Time, Any Place, the second book in her Billionaire Builders series.
A tragic event in Raven Hawthorne’s life sent her spinning out of control for several long, miserable years. But she has since rebuilt her life and is feeling good about it—until the Pierce brothers stroll into her pub. As far as Raven’s concerned, the blame for her messy life can be laid directly at the Pierce family’s collective feet. But after initially throwing the brothers out of her bar, she sucks it up, allows them back in and treats them with cool professionalism. Then Dalton, the youngest of the three and a known player when it comes to the ladies, starts vying for her attention. She shuts him down over and over again. However, Raven is not a woman willing to lie to herself, and she can’t deny that they generate some serious chemistry.
Ordinarily, if a woman shuts him down, Dalton shrugs and moves along to the next. But there is something about Raven that keeps drawing him back for more of her entertaining verbal barbs. He doesn’t doubt for a moment that she feels the same sexual spark he does—but damned if the woman isn’t willing to ignore it. Dalton is looking for a reason to spend more time with her, and since he’s truly enamored with Raven’s battered antique bar, he offers to restore it.
As they spend more and more time in daily contact, those sparks begin to fly. But Raven has a secret that involves the Pierces. Only time will tell if it will kill the feelings growing between them—or restore her and Dalton’s broken pieces.
Any Time, Any Place is a warm, sexy, gritty blockbuster of a book. Probst composes characters and situations with a nimble dexterity and believability that left this reader eager to read more of her work.
