There’s only one man for wild child Jenna McCaffrey—her best friend’s sexy grouch of a brother. For years, she’s wanted to get her hungry hands on the straight-laced professor and break his careful control. She’d come so close once… But now, her friend’s wedding party ranch getaway is the perfect opportunity for a do-over. And poor Rob won’t know what hit him.

Professor Rob Lindgren is close to attaining his final dream—tenure. Unfortunately, the university’s morality clause is making his life hell. He’s dying to let loose, and a weekend away from home is just what he needs…until he sees Jenna. She’s exactly as he remembers—still brash, still bold, still damn near irresistible. And Rob is tired of fighting…

Too bad they can only have one wicked weekend together. No way will Jenna’s wild ways ever fit in Rob’s perfectly planned life…

 

Don't Hold Back by Renee Dominick

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

I'm on the fence with this book - i didn't hate it, but i didn't really jump for joy when i finished reading it. It left me more with the feeling of 'alright then.' And then found myself moving on to the next book right away. Rarely does that happen to me. Usually i need a few hours to get my head screwed on right before i can jump into another book.

Again, as i mentioned, i didn't hate this book, it was really alright. Had everything you'd want in a book - history between the characters, a situation that forces said characters to be together once more and that pivotal moment that makes them realize that they can't live without one another. It was cute. And i think that was my problem. It was just too cute. Especially when you consider the cover and the blurb, you'd think that this book would be smoking hot from one page to the next, but truthfully, it was just cute.

Note that cute is bad. Really, it isn't. only when i think of cute, i think of romantic comedies. Although, i have to say that Jenna is pretty funny. She doesn't hold back and doesn't apologize for her mannerisms. Considering this is my first book by this author, which may have gone in the wrong direction for me, i'd have to get a hold of another of her books to see what else she's capable of delivering :)

Renee Dominick is the spicy alter ego of a Seattle-area writer. She loves the energy of a vibrant, big city, and adores everything about Italy (except maybe squid ink). Besides writing, she gets her thrills skiing, especially at Whistler, and walking down forested roads hoping to encounter local wildlife–black bears excluded.

Her travels, real and imagined, inspire all of her stories.
