Stinger

A spicy second-chance standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Archer's Voice.

Sometimes, you don't even realize anything is wrong until someone comes along and changes you, and makes you want more.

Grace Hamilton is the girl with a plan. She knows exactly where her life is going, and prides herself on always achieving her goals. She's never stepped outside the lines she draws for herself, and never considered what her heart truly wants. That is, until him.

Carson Stinger doesn't play by any rules except his own. Working in the adult entertainment industry, he doesn't care what others think of his choices, and takes each day as it comes. No direction, no plan. He knows what women want from him, and in his eyes, it's all he has to offer…until her.

When unexpected circumstances force them together, Grace and Carson are swept up into the electric chemistry between them, surrendering to a steamy Las Vegas weekend in each other's arms. But for two people whose worlds could never coexist, they know their time is short. That is, until their hearts get involved without their permission…

4.5 out of 5 stars! Two people meet in Vegas, each there for a conference. Right off the bat Grace and Carson clash. She’s a straight-laced law student with a plan; he’s an up and coming rhyme with “corn” star. After being trapped in an elevator together, they agree to a weekend fling. What they didn’t count on was the lingering feelings for each other. Taking everything they bared to each other to heart, Grace and Carson change the trajectory of their futures, making choices and changes for themselves. When they finally met up five years later, the author didn’t give them a quick HEA. NOOOO… I had to wait for it. What the heck!?!?! Like all the books I have read by this author, Grace and Carson had to work for their HEA, knowing full well that when it did happen that it was really forever.

This book follows Grace, a lawyer, and Carson, a male performer. The two are more opposite than one can imagine initially, though from the moment they meet their is no turning back. Both characters show an insane amount of character development from just one weekend that they spend together. They both impact one another in different ways and the readers are gifted a second chance romance for Grace and Carson. The second part was harder to get through, with a lot of time skips and filling in on the character's lives. But by part 3 the story is in full motion again and will leave you stuck in the pages.

This is as a fun, entertaining, unpredictable story, typical for Mia Sheridan! What is NOT typical for her is how much repetition there is. For example, characters say things, “on a smile” or wait a, “beat” or a few, “beats” a ridiculous amount of times. Luckily, I don’t recall any of her other books being this redundant, and the fantastic story outweighs the nuisances.
