Description
A one-night stand leads to something very unexpected in this sizzling-hot Dare story by USA TODAY and New York Times bestselling author Katee Robert!
I didn’t get to be CEO of a New York tech company by chasing whims…or women. But when wildly beautiful, fiercely independent fitness instructor Becka Baudin caught my eye across a crowded wedding reception, my body reacted with a will of its own.
She wanted a sexy distraction—one night of lust in a glamorous hotel. And I was happy to oblige. Then, after the most amazing night of my life, she walked away—leaving me wanting so much more. I haven’t been myself since that night. My work is suffering. My social life is nowhere. All I think about, all I dream about, is her.
Three months later, she told me. A baby. My baby… I insisted she move into my Manhattan penthouse. Now I see her every day. I crave her every second. I long for her touch, her kiss, her body moving under mine. I know if I try to cage her she’ll fly away. How can I convince a wild thing to stay in my life, in my heart, forever?

I had a hard time getting into this book. I think things were moving WAY too fast in the first chapter when it came to them jumping into bed together. Yes, I know that the book blurb mentioned that it would be a one-night stand but even so. It was straight to sex without much of a build-up about the people. For a long time it felt like the story was fitted around all of the sex.
I do have to say though that Becka was an unusual character. It was like we were getting to know not only her but Aaron AS the story went along. She was colorful, and lived full throttle but even she knew that she had some major issues. This book was full of emotions as the two main characters tried to work their way through. Becka had some great supporters like her sister Lucy and her B.F.F. Allie.
Minx. That was the nickname Aaron gave her and it fit! So did the fact that she was like a rose with HUGE thorns. As lively and spontaneous that Becka was, Aaron was a planner. He was organized and even his sister said that he always had a plan. Well, that pretty much went into the grinder when he got involved with Becka. Even that didn't turn him off though.
We do learn more and more about each of the M.C.'s and it's like peeling back an onion. Becka's fear of being trapped was almost on a legendary level of intensity. It made Becka so snippy that at times it almost got more than I could put up with. Aaron was practically a saint when it came to navigating around her. The good news is that she does start to mellow some as time went on. But don't get the idea that it will be smooth sailing from there. Because it won't be but they do get there. Where? To their own style of H.E.A.
