I am quickly becoming an auto-buy fan of Emily Rath's.  This is the second book I've read in her Jacksonville Rays series and both have been outstanding.  Unlike the first book (and it sounds like the upcoming 3rd book) which are why choose, this book is MF and our FMC is the best friend of our favorite FMC from book 1, Rachel Price.  Tess makes a couple of appearances in the first book and I loved her from the start as the fiery best friend.  This book was challenging because Tess had to leave her previous life in Cincinnati OH after her crappy ex blindsided her at work with some complete BS (he's a real gem as you'll see) and this leads her back to Jacksonville to lean on Rachel and help Mars with a nonprofit he's funding.  When she accidentally ends up sharing Mar's house with Jake (the puppy) their sparks will fly and possibly burn the place down.

This book was so enjoyable to read.  The spice was expertly done. The dirty talk was top notch.  I liked seeing bother FMC and MMC show growth through the story and loved Tess helping the puppy learn some of his kinks ;)   I will say check the TW/CW because if narcissists or gaslighting are triggering for you, then skip this one because the ex is really a piece of work.   

Totally recommend you check this out!!
