Avon Impulse
Blurb
The
fun and flirty second installment in Lia Riley’s fantastic Brightwater series.
Sometimes two wrongs can
make a right...
Bad
boy wrangler, Archer Kane, lives fast and loose. Words like responsibility and
commitment send him running in the opposite direction. Until a wild Vegas
weekend puts him on a collision course with Eden Bankcroft-Kew, a New York
heiress running away from her blackmailing fiancé…the morning of her wedding.
Eden
has never understood the big attraction to cowboys. Give her a guy in a
tailored suit any day of the week. But now all she can think about is Mr.
Rugged Handsome, six-feet of sinfully sexy country charm with a pair of green
eyes that keeps her tossing and turning all night long.
Archer
might be the wrong guy for a woman like her, but she's not right in thinking
he'll walk away without fighting for her heart. And maybe, just maybe, two
wrongs can make a right.

My Review:
Right Wrong guy is another fabulous book in the Brightwater series by Lia Riley.
This time we get Archer Kane's story. And let me tell you while I loved Sawyer's story, Archer's holds an even bigger part of my heart, I'm already afraid of how much I'm going to love Wilder.
Archer is a wild one, a bad boy if you will, but he's starting to figure out that that's not exactly who he wants to be anymore. He wants more from life than one escapade or another. And then fate brings him the right woman.
Eden is running away from her wedding and she's going with Archer, thinking Brightwater is just the place to run to.
Archer isn't normally the type of man Eden would be attracted to, but there's just something about him that calls to her. And Archer can't believe how far he's willing to go for Eden, but he knows she's special and he's willing to proove how he feels and how badly he wants her in his life.
Eden and Archer's story is an exellent tale of romance. It has a good blend of humor and swoony moments plus touches of steam. And While Eden and Archer share an instant connection, this book is not your typical love at first sight story. There is work to be done before things can move smoothly.
I adore Brightwater and the people in it, especially Grandma Kane. Oh how I love Grandma Kane! The setting and characters of this series really make you feel like you are a part of this lovely small town. Looking forward to the next book in the series, Wilder!
Excerpt:
Archer Kane
plucked a dangly gold nipple tassel off his cheek and sat up in the king-sized
bed, scrubbing his face. Overturned furniture, empty shot glasses, and
champagne flutes littered the hotel room while a red thong dangled from the
flat screen. He inched his fingers to grab the Stetson resting atop the tangled
comforter. The trick lay in not disturbing the two women snoring on either side
of him. Vegas trips were about fillies and fun—mission accomplished.
Right?
“What the?”
A dove dive-bombed him, swooped to his left, and perched on the room-service
cart to peck at a peanut from what appeared to be the remnants of a large hot
fudge sundae. Who knew how a bird got in here, but at least the ice cream
explained why his chest hair was sticky and, farther below, chocolate-covered fingerprints
framed his six-pack. Looked like he had one helluva night. Too bad he couldn’t
remember a damn thing. He should be high-fiving himself, but instead, he just
felt dog-tired.
He emerged
from beneath the covers and crawled to the bottom of the bed, head pounding
like a bass drum. As he stood, the prior evening returned in splintered
fragments. Blondie, on the right cuddling his empty pillow, was Crystal Balls
aka the Stripping Magician. The marquee from her show advertised, “She has
nothing up her sleeve.” Dark-hair on the left had been the assistant … Destiny? Dallas? Daisy?
Something
with a D.
How in
Houdini they all ended up in bed together is where the facts got fuzzy.
A
feather-trimmed sequined gown was crumpled by the mini bar and an old-man ventriloquist’s
dummy appeared to track his furtive movements from the corner. Archer stepped
over a Jim Beam bottle and crept toward the bathroom. Next mission? A thorough
shower followed by the strongest coffee on the strip.
Coffee.
Yes. Soon. Plus a short stack of buttermilk pancakes, a Denver omelet, and
enough bacon to require the sacrifice of a dozen hogs. Starving didn’t come
close to describing the hollow feeling in his gut, like he’d run a
sub-four-hour marathon, scaled Everest, and then wrestled a two-ton longhorn.
His reflection stared back from the bathroom mirror, circles under his green
eyes and thick morning scruff. For the last year a discontented funk had risen
within him. How many times had he insisted he was too young to be tied down to
a serious committed relationship, job … or anything? Well, at twenty-seven he
might not be geriatric, but he was getting too old for this bed-hopping shit.
“What the
hell are you doing?” he muttered to himself.
The facts
were Mr. Brightwater wasn’t looking his best. His second cousin, Kit, gave him
that nickname after he graced the cover of a “Boys of Brightwater” town
calendar last year to support the local Lions Club. He’d been February and
posed holding a red cardboard heart over his johnson to avoid an X rating,
although as his big brother Sawyer dryly noted, “Not like most women around
here haven’t already seen it.”
Author Info
Lia Riley writes offbeat New Adult and Contemporary Adult romance.
After studying at the University of Montana-Missoula, she scoured the world
armed only with a backpack, overconfidence and a terrible sense of direction.
She counts shooting vodka with a Ukranian mechanic in Antarctica, sipping yerba
mate with gauchos in Chile and swilling XXXX with
stationhands in Outback Australia among her accomplishments.
A British literature fanatic at heart, Lia considers Mr. Darcy and Edward Rochester as her fictional boyfriends. Her very patient husband doesn't mind. Much. When not torturing heroes (because c'mon, who doesn't love a good tortured hero?), Lia herds unruly chickens, camps, beach combs, daydreams about future books, wades through a mile-high TBR pile and schemes yet another trip. Right now, Icelandic hot springs and Scottish castles sound mighty fine.
