Wreck Me

I am a fan of Lane Hart's writing. The story line was good. At least the 22 year old college girls were not virgins, like in other books. College girls go to a beach house owned by one of the girls father, Brody. Sara, Brody's daughter, brings her friends for a vacation. Riley, who happens to be a friend of another girl(Cheryl) sets out to seduce Sara's father. Cheryl told Riley it was not a good idea to do so, but Riley didn't listen and got her heart broken. Big Surprise! Anyway, Riley has some baggage and Sara tries to use it against her in front of her father. Too late. Brody is already in love with Riley. Things get resolved and there is a HEA.

Older man Brody and younger woman Riley, is a romance between two people that fall in love. Riley may be an acquaintance of Brody's daughter, but since father and daughter are not close, the story's main focus is on Brody and Riley. I thought the daughter was a brat and immature, but the focus of the story revolves around Brody and Riley. Although not a big fan of May/December romances, this is well written with some hot and sexy scenes, with the age difference all but forgotten in the telling of their HEA. I would like to thank Booksprout for gifting me "Wreck Me". I also own a copy. My opinion is my own. This is mine. 4.25 Stars!

Riley Yates was glad to join the other young women for their after-graduation free beach vacation. Sara’s family had a place on the beach and they were taking advantage of the offer of a fun stay. Sara didn’t particularly like Riley for some reason, but since Riley was roommate and friend of Cheryl, she got invited too. But so far they were lost. Sara took a wrong exit and stubbornly refused to admit it, which put them an extra hour behind the 4-1/2 hour trip. But finally they were here! Riley leaned on the porch rail, taking in the ocean view until she spotted a handsome hunk coming out of the surf. Sara sighs, waves to him, and says in a bored voice, “That’s just my dad.” The other women were still staring with their jaws hanging down in shock, then they all went inside. Brody Harrington dried off and went inside to say hello to everyone. He tried to hug his daughter but she pushed him away because he was getting salt water on her. He invited them all out to dinner and Sara refused – girls’ night only! She was really rude to him. When her parents had divorced, her dad couldn’t afford to fly out to California regularly, so they lost touch until her teen years when he was a successful photographer. But by then it was too late. She felt abandoned and ignored and no longer wanted a relationship with her father. Cheryl took one look at Riley and knew she wanted to be with Sara’s dad. She warned her off since Sara would hate her for that – but since Sara already hated her, that was not a big loss. Brody was very young-looking and attractive; and when Riley saw the gorgeous professional photographs framed all through the house that Sara said her dad had taken, she was very impressed. And she was ready to accept the challenge of getting him into her bed! Brody offered his shower to the women to get ready for their night out. To give them privacy, he walked on the beach until he thought they would be done. But when he returned, the flirty one with dark hair was pulling a dress over her head, then wiggling into her panties. She turned around, met his eyes, smiled and waved! Did she want him to see her like that? He knew this girl was going to be trouble for him! By the time the week was over, he would need to find a date at the local bar to calm himself down! I was glad to see that the characters in this story did grow and mature a bit so that it didn’t turn out to be just an immature stunt going on that could hurt several people. There was so much healing needed among Brody, Sara, and Riley – grab your copy and see if the story can resolve those relationships into something worthwhile.
