"Winning Winston romantic thriller"

When God created male sex appeal, Joe Winston broke the mold. Of course, Joe immensely enjoys how women covet him, all that is except one. Luna Clark rejected his advances instead of the usual in the sack after one look from him scenario. Swallowing her pride and hiding how much she loves Joe, Luna visits him after a three-month hiatus. She needs his strength to help her with two orphans (Austin and Willow) residing with her.

However, it is not for the kids that she needs him though an adult male can only help. Someone in the town of Visitation want to hurt the two children or at least make them leave and only Joe can keep the trio safe. Joe sees this as the opportunity to finally get Luna in his bed and out of the wrong head (in his mind that is). However, Joe quickly enjoys the company of the kids and will do anything to keep them safe. As he falls in love with Luna, he knows he would risk getting his butt tattooed for her if she would only believe he is serious about her.

The latest Winston tale is an exciting romantic suspense story that fans of Lori Foster, the series, or the sub- genre will fully enjoy. Though a subplot involving a nasty from Joe's past takes away from the steam and speed of the exhilarating story line, readers will appreciate this "family of four" fighting back while turning into a cohesive loving unit. Readers will say yes to this winning Winston thriller.

Summary

IRRESISTIBLE FORCE—MEET IMMOVABLE OBJECT
Joe Winston has a routine with women: he exists; they swoon; roll credits. With his smoldering looks, macho style, and irrepressible charm, Joe can have any woman—except the one he really wants. Secretly, Luna Clark may lust after Joe, but she's made it clear that she's too smart to fall for him. He can just keep holding his breath, thank you very much. But now, Luna's inherited two wild kids who need more than she alone can give in a small town that loves to gossip. She needs someone to help out...someone who can't be intimidated...someone just like Joe. Becoming an instant family wasn't what Joe had in mind, but it's a start to melting Luna's hardened reserve, inside and out. After all, where there's a Joe, there's a way...straight into a woman's heart.
