BOOK SUMMARY
Natalea
Jones has had a rough life. An absentee father. A gambling addicted mother, who
seems to show up only when she needs something—preferably money. Natalea
survives her childhood and teenage years because of her best friend, Drake
Harte, and his family. Even though she’s been in love with Drake for years, she
refuses to let her lust come in the way of their friendship. Life without Drake
is not possible and sex would certainly complicate things.
Drake
Harte is not only known as the most eligible bachelor and firefighter in Gamble
Park, Florida, but he’s also known for sexing the ladies and leaving them. Only
he knows the reason he can’t make a commitment to the women throwing themselves
at him—he’s in love with his best friend. It’s time he either goes for it or
moves on.
After
Natalea and Drake share a night of passion, an unexpected event occurs that
proves to both of them that life—and love—are too precious.

EXCERPT
Or
what? Was his firecracker of a
best friend challenging him? He may have gotten off his twenty-four-hour shift
at the firehouse mere minutes ago, but he was always ready to rumble with
Natalea. Her honey-colored eyes gleamed with the familiar twinkle she had every
single time they provoked each other. She loved it as much as he did.
Damn!
He
loved everything about her. She was a whole lot wrapped up in a five-foot-three
package. She was beautiful—beautiful in a way that wasn’t cover model,
but real. Sweet. Caring. Honest. Strong. Stronger than anyone he knew. Her life
hadn’t been easy.
He
exhaled a laugh before dropping the towel and placing his hands on the bar top.
Having spent as much time as he had in The Misbehaved, he knew exactly how much
space he had to clear before he’d be on the ground on the other side. He pushed
off with his feet on the stool rungs and slammed it to the ground with a bang
as he propelled himself over. He landed with a thud on the black rubber floor
mat. Heads swiveled in their direction.
Natalea
yelped and dropped the towel. She spun on her heels and dashed to get away from
him. He swung his arm around her waist and jerked her flush against him. The
feel of her softness against the rigid planes of his body made a groan bubble
up in his chest. He bit it off.
He
hoisted her over his shoulder and wandered out onto the floor. Her lush breasts
pressed against him and made his cock twitch to life in his jeans. Her legs
flailed in the air, her black work boots thudding against his abdomen. She may
have been small, but she was mighty. He’d give her that. As the thought entered
his mind, her teeth sank into his lower back muscles through his T-shirt.
“Ow,”
he cried, surprised by her bite. “Watch it, baby girl. You know better than to
walk this tough-girl path with me. It never ends well for you.”
She
grunted and groaned at his words. Several of the male patrons hooted and
hollered.
“Nice
legs,” one of the guys standing by the pool table shouted. A few whistles
followed and Drake realized what the fuss was about. Her already scant jean
shorts had ridden up her legs, exposing all of her thighs, maybe more. Despite
the crowd being predominantly female, the few males made themselves quite
vocal.
A
wave of possessiveness flowed over him. He didn’t like that the guys were
gawking at her ass poised in the air, and at her tan, muscular legs draped over
his shoulder. Legs he’d fantasized about encircling his hips as he buried
himself inside her. That fantasy had recurred on numerous occasions over the
last decade.
Yes,
he pined after his best friend. Had for years. Whenever she was around, he
popped a perpetual boner. He also needed to protect her, which pretty much
ruined any chance she had for a relationship with anyone else. No one—and he
meant no one—was good enough for her.
CAT'S REVIEW
"The Misbehaved" by Jessica Jayne is a fun, sexy read that had me wishing for more. I really, really liked our main characters - Nat and Drake. Nat loves Drake but fear of being alone holds her back from acting on it. Nat is independent and works hard to give herself all the things she never had in her life. Drake and his family are a big part of her life and her fear of messing it up holds her back from the one thing she truly desires - to be loved. Drake, super sexy firefighter, loves her right back but, understanding her fear, has held back. Their chemistry is so hot that they explode right off the pages. Despite the brevity of this book, Ms. Jayne was able to convey each characters love and emotion as well as some background. I felt I knew them and what made them tick. On that note, I was wanting more - more of the love, more of the danger, more of just Nat and Drake and was disappointed the ending came so soon. Ms. Jayne writing style flowed and the story was good - had me smiling, cringing and laughing - not too shabby for a story that is only about 100 pages! I highly recommend "The Misbehaved" - perfect for a lunch break read or a stint by the pool. (received copy for honest review)
