An energized teacher and fickle playboy hate relationships, until they find themselves in one.
Jaime Cruz has a to-do list a mile long. She needs to get back to her hometown, find a new teaching position and a place to live, and ensure all the preparations for her sister’s big wedding go off perfectly. Good thing she’s organized and has a strict itinerary. But when her ride across country insists she have fun along the way, her plans and schedule go out the window…literarily and figuratively.
Workaholic Xavier Moreau is taking an uncharacteristic vacation to drive across America to see all the places his mother loved. He didn’t expect to have the world’s biggest backseat driver riding shotgun, but he can’t really refuse to take his best friend’s future sister-in-law with him when the wedding they’re both in is a shared destination. Pushing Jaime’s buttons is more fun than Xavier’s had in a long time, but getting the luscious control freak to let go soon has him questioning his own future.
Excerpt
“Hey!” Jaime yelled, the seatbelt cutting into her shoulder as she turned to watch the pages fluttering behind them. “That was mine. And littering is a huge fine, I’ll have you know.”
“Do you feel better?” A drum roll of thunder underscored Xavier's words.
“Better? I’m in a car with a crazy man who just dumped our itinerary in the middle of the road.”

From the haunted hotel to the haunted brothel and all the stops between Washington, DC and Oregon, I laughed and smiled. The banter between the two of them was wonderful. The words and character's flew off the pages at you. She actually brought her character's to life and made Jaime and Xavier real; You were J'aime and only hoped that you would meet your Xavier to bring you on this wonderful adventure across America.
