His Taste of Temptation by Cathryn Fox

One affair, thirty days.

In the Line of Duty, Book 3

Since his last relationship blew up in his face, bomb expert Brad Crosby has lost his appetite for “permanent”. But his kid brother’s best friend? Now there’s a curvy morsel he could wrap his lips around.

For years Brad has been the star of Madison Graham’s fantasies. If only she were the kind of put-together girl he prefers, not a pastry chef whose makeup consists of a dusting of powdered sugar on her nose. A belief that’s confirmed when her apartment floods and he offers to let her sleep in his bed—alone.

Wrapped in Brad’s sheets, she dreams of his touches, his kisses, the feel of his body on hers. Except her dreams feel like reality—and come morning, she realizes it wasn’t a dream at all.

Soon the two are burning up the nights. But as Madison’s sweet love grows on him, Brad can’t help but think of extending their time together.

Too bad Madison keeps reminding him their affair has an expiration date.

Warning: May contain heat, explosive sex, and Fourth of July fireworks that pale in comparison to the sparks between a sworn bachelor and a tempting pastry chef.

Madison always wanted her best friends brother, but he's never even looked her way. Developing early and name calling in high school lead to a bad self image, but one encounter with Brad leaves everything she every thought she knew up in the air.

Brad has started seeing his little brothers friend in a whole new light, but it's not until a crazy twist of events that he finds out they are JUST friends and now he has 30 days to scratch an itch. Only 30 days. After that their done, he doesn't do commitments or forever, not after what his fiance did. But allot can change in 1 month, will either of them tell the other how they feel?

Madison is shy and a bit insecure about herself, but she has a big heart and wants to help others whenever she can.

Brad is in a word, dense. He didn't realize how amazing Maddison was until he was forced to see it. But getting her to see herself might be a bit more difficult than he realized.

The two are push and pull at times, but they sizzle and steam up the pages like there's no tomorrow. How the story unfolds for them you can see their changes as they begin to realize their feelings for each other and I enjoyed every step. Great read.
