She’ll go to any lengths to keep his demons at bay…
Bad boy Neil Harrison may have a sexy body and an even sexier smile, but there’s no way in hell architect Carson Kelly is falling for the elusive bachelor. For starters, he’s her boss, and getting intimately involved with the infuriating alpha male could be a career-killer. And secondly, he’s battling personal demons in one of the most dangerous ways possible: illegal street racing. After a friend’s tragic death years ago, Carson swore she’d never get involved in that life again.
Neil knows Carson’s keeping secrets and he’s determined to uncover all of them…even if he has to seduce them out of her. But as their antagonistic work relationship ignites a passionate affair, Carson must decide if protecting Neil from his need for speed is the perfect outlet for her own restless desire, or if they’re on a one-way path to destruction.

"This was another excellent contemporary romance from Gina Gordon and I can't wait for the rest of the Madewoods." --Jill, Goodreads
"This was a 'spectacular novel' and you will find it hard to put down until the very end. "Recipes For Attraction" is the second in the Madewood Brother Series but it reads can stand alone. Would I recommend? YES!" --Arlena, Goodreads

"We’re the same. Both of us trying to outrun our past.”
Having never read a book by Gina Gordon before, I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book. All I knew after reading that synopsis, was that I had to meet Neil. Illegal street racing? Hell yes! Count me in.
So color me thrilled when a ...more

My Review:
