Shannon Leigh regrets being her best friend's maid of honor since it means watching all kinds of woman throwing themselves at her ex, Romero Jinks. She is still hurting from their very public break-up that was fodder for the tabloids for months. To make matters worse, her charter flight from Mexico was cancelled and she does not have the money to book another flight. When Romero offers to drive her home, she really has no choice but to accept. She figures that a few hours in the car and she can finally put Romero behind her for good. She can happily return to her acting career and move on. Unfortunately, they get run off the road in the middle of the desert. How is she going to survive in the middle of nowhere with Romero whom she still cares about? How is she going to keep her hands off of him?

Romero Jinks is used to fending off unwanted advances from women. It comes with the rock star territory, yet the only woman he finds appealing that still has the power to affect him is Shannon. He is only being a gentleman when he offers her a lift home since he is well aware that she is barely making ends meet. What he hopes to be a shortcut through the desert turns into his worst nightmare when they are run off the road. The car is not drivable, and they have to walk to the nearest town wherever that might be. Romero knows how to survive in many environments and he always comes prepared. He just hopes that Shannon will let him take care of her, and not argue with him. Will he get them through the harsh climate of the desert in one piece? Will he succumb to the temptation that is right in front of him?

Joanne Rock has crafted an exhilarating romance. She takes two people who used to have a relationship and places them into a situation beyond their control. Shannon and Romero need to work at understanding their past problems before they can have a future together. As the story progresses, we learn about both sides of the relationship, and we are rooting for them to jump at their second chance. It is only fair to say that as the desert temperature plummets overnight, things begin to heat up between them. SHE THINKS HER EX IS SEXY is a pleasurable, steamy read that gives a couple a second chance to make a go at it. Joanne Rock knows how to write an entertaining story, and I am interested in what she has to offer next.

SUMMARY

Shannon Leigh didn’t look back when her rock-star lover split. Even though they had the most heartstopping sex imaginable, Romero Jinks just wasn’t the one for her.

But then she and her ex are thrown together for a friend’s wedding—in sensual Mexico. Shannon forces herself to resist Romero’s megawatt sex appeal until they leave.... Only to get stranded in the middle of the desert!

Now she’s confronted by Romero’s gloriously shirtless state. Before long, she’s screaming in pure bliss under the hot sky. It’s a scorcher of a reunion. Yet Shannon’s determined they’ll go their separate ways once they’re rescued. Because someone so wrong for her can’t possibly be right...right?

24 Hours: Lost
What a difference a day makes!
