~ Book Synopsis ~
Gemma Carlson didn’t plan on waking up married.
She also didn’t count on running into her old flame—and her son’s father-turned-country-rock star—Travis Bowers, followed by a night of drunken dares. Apparently one of those involved a ring on her finger and a vow…neither of which she intends to keep. Now with a hangover from hell, this good-girl-gone-bad knows there’s just one thing to do: run.
Travis has been all over the world, but Gemma has never been far from his thoughts. So when he had the chance to catch up over a few drinks, he didn’t hesitate. Of course he didn’t expect it would lead to marriage, or a runaway bride! Travis finally has a second chance and doesn’t plan on losing Gemma again—or the son he didn’t know he had. He proposes—albeit belatedly—a date. Or rather, a few. If they can make this marriage work by starting over, he stays. If not…
Gemma’s not interested; she’s got a son to protect and a heart to heal. But having Travis around could make both a little easier. Still, good girls don’t date rock stars…right?

How many glasses of champagne did I have last night?
Gemma Carlson groaned, gritting her teeth against the stabbing pain that seemed to be spreading through her brain. She didn’t want to open her eyes, afraid of what she would find. Right now she was only sure of two things. One, her head hurt like a son of a bitch and two, she was very, very naked.
Prying open her right eye, she tried to focus on her surroundings, but instead of seeing intricate, golden wallpaper, she found the walls were now light colored. A couch sat in the corner of the room, though her room had had a tiny office chair and desk. The landscape on the wall was new, too.
She opened both eyes, blinking rapidly at the dryness, and realized she had no idea where she was.
Which meant she obviously wasn’t in her hotel room.
A light snore behind her caught her attention and she stiffened, turning her head slowly to look at her bedmate. She sucked in a breath at the sight of dark curls and a broad back, the only things visible above the heavy comforter.
What have I done?
Sitting up, she swallowed down the rolling nausea and fought the splitting headache, catching her face in her hands. And then she felt it. Something cool and metal on her finger. Something that definitely shouldn’t be there.
Pulling her hands back, she stared at the large three-stone diamond ring on her left index finger and froze.
~My Review~
Gemma has not seen Travis for 10 years! He was the one who got away! Gemma, finally gets a weekend to herself, she goes to Las Vegas, for a book convention. Her weekend was looking pretty good….until…..she bumps into Travis. Travis, talks Gemma into going out to lunch with him, and accompanying him to a benefit that night. Of course, she can’t say no to his charm. During their night out, they both end up getting pretty drunk…leading to riding a limo, ending up at a wedding chapel! (If I had Travis in my life, I don’t blame Gemma for following him inside the chapel). Then, comes the dreadful morning after.
Okay! Ending up getting married to the guy that got away, couldn’t be that bad, right?!? Unless, you haven’t told him that he has a 9 yr. old son! I know! I agree, she should have told him, but she had her reasons. After waking up, and finding out that she is married. Gemma, leaves Travis a note, and drives back home. BUT Travis, ends up following her, and confront hers. Travis wants to make this marriage work, he wants to be a family with Gemma, but can Gemma trust him? Can she let him in her life, and put her heart out there? Nothing comes easy, when the guy you are in love with is a famous musician.
Even though this is the 2nd book in the series, it can be read as a standalone. I definitely recommend this book!!!
