Breathless by Trish Wylie

From the opening line of Trish’s latest Modern Extra outing, I found myself grinning at the feisty heroine and her plight to join a gym to remake her body – only to be faced with the epitome of male perfection. Every woman who’s ever been intimidated by the hard bodies in a gym can relate to self-help author Cara’s plight to find a personal trainer so she can wear her latest bridesmaid dress with pride instead of dread.

As Cara spars with the gym’s co-owner, bodyguard on the mend Rory Flanaghan, she loses more than just inches. Slowly but surely she loses her inhibitions and her heart to the soulful former soldier. She knows he is leaving and never promised her more than a good time, so instead of laying her cards on the table and risking what time they have left, she takes what he offers and plans an around the world trip so she won’t have to be around when he says goodbye. Cara never counted on Rory being just as effected by his time with her, or his silent decision to follow her lead and change his entire life piece by piece.

The banter between Rory and Cara is laugh out loud funny, but with a dramatic undercurrent signature of Wylie’s novels for the Romance line. This story packs an emotional punch by weaving tenderness and passion into searing love scenes that sizzle on the page. Sensual, fun, and incredibly sexy.
