Olympic hopeful Gretchen Nickelson doesn’t do love. Men exist for sex
and a good time. Snowboarding is her main priority and a clingy
boyfriend will only get between her and a spot on the Olympic team.
Dark and dangerous Derrick Hamilton is all for the physical approach.
His carefully guarded heart likes it hard and fast. Meeting an adrenaline
junkie like Gretchen suits his sexual needs just fine.
But when a steamy relationship races out of control toward love,
tragedy is inevitable, and hearts aren’t the only collateral. Their
accidental love threatens Gretchen’s chance for gold. Can they survive
the destruction that changes everything?
We're breaking our review cherry with Violet Vaughn's newest release, Rush. We first discovered Violet through her second book, and couldn't wait for more. Though Rush is also a part of the Fire & Ice series, it can be read as a stand-alone and is oh, so incredibly H-O-T!
From the start it was clear Gretchen was going to be an incredibly likable heroine: beautiful and athletic, in charge of her sexuality. She's a refreshing departure from the shy, awkward Anastasia Steeles of the literary world. Immediately in the first chapter, Gretchen meets her match. Derrick is also sexy and in charge—even more so than Gretchen. When the two of them first get it on, there are sexual fireworks of epic proportions and it just keeps getting better! Since Rush falls under the contemporary romance genre, we knew there would be obstacles for the couple to overcome. However, we were presently surprised in the directions Violet took the story and were pleased with the HEA. This book is a must read, though you'd enjoy the first two books in the Fire & Ice series, so you may as well read them in order.
Once again, the books reviewed on this blog are all awesome and rated on their level of steam. Rush gets a 4-alarm rating for its awesomely steamy sex scenes and straight (though off the chart) male/female relations.
Violet Vaughn writes New Adult Romance in her home in New Hampshire. She lives with her husband, two teenagers and three Portuguese Water Dogs. An avid skier she taught skiing and snowboarding before she started her family and now skies every winter weekend for enjoyment. Summers are full of hiking and running with her dogs.
