(A Girl's Night Out #2)
by Victoria Dahl
ARC Review
Released: July 29th, Harlequin HQN
My rating: 4 of 5 ⭐️
"Librarian Sophie Heyer has walked the straight and narrow her entire life to avoid paying for her mother's mistakes. But in tiny Jackson Hole, Wyoming, juicy gossip just doesn't go away, so the last thing she needs is for history to repeat itself. Falling hard for the sexiest biker who's ever rode into town would undo everything she's worked for. And to add insult to injury, the sexy stranger is none other than Alex Bishop--the son of the man her mother abandoned Sophie's family for. He may be temptation on wheels, but Sophie's not looking for trouble!

Maybe Sophie's buttoned-up facade fools some, but Alex knows a naughty smile when he sees one. Despite their parents' checkered pasts, he's willing to take some risks to find out the truth about the town librarian. He figures a little fling might be just the ticket to get his mind off of family drama. But what he finds underneath Sophie's prim demeanor might change his world in ways he never expected."
*****
Sophie is hiding a lot under her prim and proper librarian veneer. Carrying the burden and guilt left in the wake of her mother's mistakes, she is determined to show the world she is nothing like her. But forgets to be Sophie. Until a certain bad boy comes back to town to show her who that is.
Alex has run hard and far from a family destroyed by a father who disappeared and a mother obsessed with finding him. Only to find himself back where he started with very little change. Except perhaps in his perception. Especially when the first thing he sees is a tidy little red-headed package on heels, packing a sexy punch!
Really enjoyed the background stories for both main characters. Each very compelling, making their current attitudes in life very plausible and real.
The irony of this story was not lost on me; The same incident that fifteen years ago, damaged both their lives, now is indirectly responsible for healing them.
It being a Victoria Dahl novel, I would expect a certain level of heat - and was not disappointed! Yowza! Whether it was the broody biker guy with an engineering degree, or him in combination with the little coy librarian who was hiding a vixen under her clothes - I don't know. All I know is that the combo was lethal!!
✨Only thing Hotter than a Biker with Tats? A Biker, Tats & an Engineering Degree!!✨
