Title: Unpredictable (The Key West Series, #1)
Author: C.A. Harms
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: April 14th 2015 by Limitless Publishing LLC
Plot: Have you ever wished for a moment that you could pretend to live the life of someone else? Escape the harsh reality that your own is anything but perfect?
Quinn Tucker had always been forced to put her own needs last.
With an absent father and a mother who drowns herself daily in a bottle of Rum, there was no other option.
Jett Jameson was the distraction Quinn needed, even if it was just for one night.
A void filler, and a chance for a moment to allow herself to feel something other than emptiness.
He wasn’t what she expected.
Gentle.
Her life didn’t have room for a man like Jett.
Unpredictable.
But now it was too late, there was no turning back.
Desire.
Nothing would ever be the same…
☆✮ My Review ✮☆
☆ I received an ARC via HEA BOOK TOURS PR in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ☆
Quinn Tucker carries the weight of the world upon her shoulders. With an absent father and a drunk of a mother, Quinn has had to grow up faster than others and put her wants and needs far last. While other kids got to go out and enjoy their childhoods, Quinn on the other hand, has always had to be the “parent figure” within her household and take care of her mother from endangering herself and winding up into a whole mess of trouble.
Established restaurateur Jett Jameson was never expecting a woman like Quinn. Build is business from the ground up, with his own blood, sweat, and hard work, Jett meets Quinn at a party and from there they have a one night stand.
Thinking that this one nighter is all they will see of each other, fate steps in, and the two are once again put together again…lighting a flame between Jett and Quinn that refuses to be put out or pushed aside.
But when life tampers in the mix, it is with great trust and trepidation that we see Jett and Quinn battle the odds while holding on to what brought them together in the first place and what keeps them coming back for more—love, faith, and taking chances…

#LovedJett. Totally swoonworthy and a persistant alpha male in getting what he wants *cough cough Quinn!*

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
Once I was far enough away from the house, I
placed her on her feet and pinned her to the car we were standing in front of,
with one arm on each side of her body, my palms flat on the hood.
I locked eyes with her and my determination did
not falter. I was irritated, and her little fit was making it a whole lot
worse. “Call the police,” I snarled. “You can scream bloody murder for all I
care. Your ass is not walking out of here in this condition, plain and simple,
so quit your damn bitching and accept it.”
She narrowed her eyes at me and her nostrils
flared. Yeah, as if I cared she was pissed. I was pissed too, so we were about
to have a fucking battle of wills here.
“I never asked for you to show up here and
rescue me.” She gritted her teeth. “I don’t need you to save me. I’m fine on my
own. I’ve been taking care of myself for a long time. I don’t need your help,”
she practically growled.
I looked down at the ground between us, trying
to control my anger. At times I wondered why in the hell I even bothered. Then
I looked up and my stare met hers and I remembered, my stomach lurching at the
hidden pain in her eyes, the façade she was trying so hard to keep up. I could
see right through her act, and all I wanted to do was comfort her.
“Are you ever just gonna stop fighting this?” I
asked. “Damn, Quinn, do you always have to be so difficult?” I pinned her with
my hips. “Shit, woman, you drive me nuts. You can piss me off more than anyone
I know.”
“If I drive you so nuts, then why bother? I’m
not worth it, really, I’m not. Please, just walk away, Jett. Find someone with
less issues than I have. Someone that can make you happy.” She hung her head,
and her forehead rested against my chest. “I’m not that girl,” she whispered.
I
gently combed my fingers through her hair, breathing in her scent. “Just shut
up, please.” I gripped the back of her neck and directed her to lift her head.
Her eyes appeared glossy, and the sight of them pulled at something deep inside
me. Leaning forward, I kissed her lips softly, allowing my forehead to rest
against hers. “I’m not going anywhere, you stubborn-ass woman. I’m here, I’m in
this. So stop pushing so hard to get me to walk away.” I kissed her once more
and skimmed the tip of my nose along hers. “I don’t walk away from the things I
want, Quinn.”
