Suzanne Carter has sworn off men...really! Her inability to take life seriously drives them crazy, so it's best she leaves them alone. Then one night, strong, handsome Ryan Alondo rescues her and she simply melts. Who could resist all that rough-and-tumble sexiness? But as tempting as he is, she's not going to fall for his charms. Because there's no way she wants to ruin a man this gorgeous.

From the moment Ryan sets eyes on Suzanne, he knows she's the one for him. She's fun and sexy and exactly what he needs in his overcrowded, responsible life. And the passion between them can't be ignored. He just has to convince her he's serious enough for both of them. Good thing he can be very, very persuasive....

After breaking up with fiancé number three, Suzanne Carter decides she is bad for men. A desperate search for a new apartment introduces her to Taylor Wellington, a woman of contradictions. Taylor exudes wealth and good taste, but acts as if she is on a shoestring budget. Instant rapport between them soon has Suzanne happily settled into Taylor's loft apartment, but only after a tantalizing encounter with Ryan Alondo.

Ryan owns a tree cutting business, and a desperate late night call following an especially windy storm brings him to Taylor's apartment building. A tree has crashed into the loft, trapping Suzanne. Despite her pact with Taylor to swear off all men, Suzanne soon finds herself wishing to yield to temptation. Nevertheless, she vows to remain stalwart in her decision to swear off men, and it will take all of Ryan's persuasive powers to convince her otherwise.

Author Jill Shalvis pens another sizzling romance with ROUGHING IT WITH RYAN. In this first of her miniseries, Taylor and Ryan ignite the fires of passion with scintillating characterizations and delightful playfulness. Taylor's history of fiancés will have readers chuckling even as they treasure Ryan's family values. Fans who expect steamy sensuality and quality romance will not be disappointed; add this one to your keeper shelf. ROUGHING IT WITH RYAN comes very highly recommended.

I love Ms. Shalvis' writing. I'm never disappointed with her books. I love some more than others, but they always entertain me and make me smile. I don't know how I missed this book when it was first released, but will definitely purchase the other two books in the series and devour them.
