What Was I Thinking?

What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas, right?

Not when you live in a town rife with gossip and where keeping a secret is about as hard as resisting the attraction between the person you spent a wild night with in Sin City!

Special Education teacher Lily thinks Rivers Bend’s local lothario Jason is about as appealing as a sunburn in the tropics. But when they’re picked to be witnesses at the Las Vegas surprise marriage of Jason’s sister and a wild night of Jager shots ensues, that negative appeal suddenly goes the way of the dinosaur and these two embark on a night of fun and passion.

But a one-night fling is what it’s meant to be, after all, since these two are about as opposite as two people can be.

Or are they?

Life back in Rivers Bend throws these Jason and Lily together in ways neither ever imagined and the attraction starts to look like it wasn’t a one time thing at all.

Jason’s rep in town as a get’em then get gone guy is well known. He’s never spent more than date or two with any girl and he’s certainly never introduced one to his close knit family. But Lily is about different from every other girl he’s ever known. First of all, she doesn’t pursue him, something he’s not used to. Second, she’s a special ed teacher and Jason is embarrassed that she’ll find out about his lifelong dyslexia. And third, she cares more about others than herself. Cas in point, she moved from her single life in Baltimore to be guardian to her 12 year old niece so the girl wouldn’t have to uproot her life. All things that start to open Jason’s heart to the possibility of a relationship.

I hate spoilers so I’ll leave the story line there. You’ll need to read this delightful book to find out how –and if – these two find their way to an HEA.

I’ve been a big fan of Donna Simonetta since I read the first book in the RIVER’S BEND trilogy, and with each story she’s told I’m a bigger fan. Her quick and easy writing style and her way with expressive dialogue make her characters jump off the page and into my heart.

Told in revolving points of view between Jason and Lily, Ms. Simonetta gives you a first hand glimpse into both their heads and hearts and allows the reader to experience the depths of emotions for both.

Donna Simonetta is a one-click author for me and she never disappoints. WHAT WAS I THINKING is another wonderful edition to her list of romantic stories and I highly recommend this 5star read! For anyone who loves love, this is a story and a writer for you.

Thank you Netgalley and WRP for allowing me to read this wonderful story.

This was a pretty good Contemporary romance that kept me entertained from beginning to end. I liked both Lily and Jason and liked following them through this story. I recommend.
