It’s just supposed to be a weekend fling. . . .
“Stacey Lynn always knows how to perfectly balance sexy and
sweet.”—New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne
Weekend Fling, an all-new
contemporary romance from Stacey Lynn is available now!
Fresh out of a long-term
relationship, Willow Parks is working two jobs and caring for her mother, whose husband
left her with nothing but a pile of bills. That’s why Willow made a vow: no men until she figures
out her own life.
But while she may not need a
man, she could use a break. And a weekend away at a California beach to clear her head?
That’s appealing. Even if the offer comes from Trey Collins, the irresistible tech-mogul
millionaire who visits her coffee shop every morning like clockwork—and needs a date for his
best friend’s wedding. With an adorable, occasional stutter, he refuses to take no for an
answer.
Once the weekend begins, Trey is
intent on proving how good they can be together. Willow’s even feeling tempted to break her
vow—until reality rudely interrupts her well-deserved getaway. There’s no way she and Trey
have a future, not with the colossal amount of baggage Willow has to offer.
But Trey is used to getting what
he wants. He just has his work cut out for him convincing her that they want the same
thing.

Excerpt:
“What’s your favorite color?” She tilts her head to the side and
winks.
Damn, she’s cute.
“Navy blue.”
She snorts. “Typical male color.”
Anything but. “You were wearing navy-blue Converse sneakers
with frayed denim jeans the first time I stepped into Java Joe’s and saw you.”
Screw waiting for tomorrow. Operation seduce-the-sexy-barista
begins now.
I’ve surprised her, based on the way her jaw unhinges and her
pretty blue eyes fly open. It’s time she realizes how long I’ve really wanted to ask her out. I
scoot forward on my chair as she stammers, those cheeks of hers burning bright, and I place
my hand at her jaw. It’s the first time we’ve truly touched, other than some minor hand-holding,
and I’m stunned by the softness of her skin where my hand brushes her chin, and she closes
her mouth with a snap.
I’m not generally a lay-your-cards-on-the-table kind of guy,
preferring to keep them close to my vest with those I don’t know well. In my line of work, secrecy
is absolute. Anyone can steal an idea, and it’s easier to keep anything personal to the few
people I trust. But it might be time to throw all those cards down, faceup, if I want a chance with
this woman.
“I like you, Willow. I was attracted to you the first time I walked
into Java Joe’s. I like that you ignore me, but you blush as you look away. I like that you stood
up to me when I put my foot in my mouth, and I even like that you’re scared of small planes and
the ocean—”
“I’m not afraid—”
“I also think you’re beautiful and sexy as hell, heavy baggage
and stubbornness included. You need to know all that this weekend, because I plan on
spending the next few days showing you exactly how much I mean it.”
My thumb trails over her lips as they part. Soft. So damn soft.
My dick is currently anything but.
“You’re very forward.”
I lean closer, my hand at her jaw sliding to the back of her neck
to pull her close. She comes easily, lips parting further, as I get so close to her. My lips are at
her ear, that hit of her jaw, her cheeks . . . “I’m very turned on by you, Willow Parks, and I’m not
a man who passes on an opportunity when it’s quite literally almost in my lap. I’m more of a
seize-and-conquer kind of man, but you’ll learn that. I promise.”
Her body shivers and her puff of breath against my skin turns
shallow. I’ve turned her on and I’m hard as a rock. Brushing my lips across her cheek, I kiss her,
tease, taking the hint of the promise of her sweetness with me and swallowing it down before I
lean back. “We should go to sleep. You have an morning.”

My Review
3.5 - 4 stars and 5 stars at times also
This is my second book in the series having also read book 3 and enjoying that a loti did have high expectations for this one. I did find the story idea great and I liked Trey especially his vulnerability not so much when he was being a bit cocky but that wasn't too often. I liked Willow and could really sympathise with her and how difficult things would be for her. However I also found it a bit of a slow burn. It was well over halfway when I got to the point where I found I was finally sucked into the book and didn't want to put it down. Up until then I had liked the book but just not been drawn in deeply. Aside from this I liked seeing the other characters and I am keen to read their stories at some point. Overall is was a good read and you wouldn't have to had read the previous books for this to make sense.
I have to say when I got to the end and read the authors acknowledgement I was better able to understand why this felt different and it might have been better for that to be at the start. That being said this book touches on topics that need to be spoken and written about more so it becomes less stigmatised so my hat goes off to her for getting it out there.
