BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Former Olympian turned physical therapist to the elite Julia Bailey knows all about pushing the limits. But when a sexual harassment suit costs her a dream job—not to mention her reputation—she takes on the biggest risk of her life. Rehabilitating the X Games’ most notorious bad boy might be just what she needs to secure the funds for her own treatment center. Problem is, the only kind of recovery her new client is interested in is under-the-covers freestyle—gear optional.

Daredevil snowboarder Noah Hunt is a rock star—on and off the slopes. A recent accident might have him down, but he’s far from out. He doesn’t care what the sexy therapist with the sweet curves says. He’s got sponsors to impress and trophies to collect, and taking things slow and steady just ain’t his style. A little dirty talk and a sizzling night later, Julia learns just how fast and hard he likes to play. Too bad for him, his heart goes all in, and one wrong move could cost him more than just his career.

REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts So this is a new series for Jordan. I love her Renegades series. I mean seriously I end up with a new book-boyfriend every time one of the books from that series comes out. So here is what I think happened with this book….

I wanted it to match the Renegades but it didn’t and I was disappointed. Now I know that is not fair. Each book should have its own expectations and not base it on an old series but come on we all do it. I wanted to end up with a new book-boyfriend and when I didn’t I was a little heartbroken. BUT…. that being said I really enjoyed the book. I enjoyed the story and I mostly enjoyed the characters.

Julia well she would be the friend that would drive me crazy but we would still be friends. Noah well actually I can imagine setting him up with my friend (you know the one who drives me crazy) but I wouldn’t want him for my own.

But give this new series and try. Just don’t go in thinking this is a Renegades book because you will be disappointed.

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
