Title: Never With You

Series: Never Series (standalone read)

Author: Anie Michaels

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: August 15, 2017

Talia Lennick expected an uneventful week at the beach with her family. Reading, sunbathing, recharging her proverbial batteries—all typical beach vacation activities. Oh, and dealing with her family, who was too concerned with her almost-thirty-and-single status. What she didn’t expect was Briggs Townsend. Briggs was the handsome man living in the house next door, who looked too damned sexy all the time—whether he was surfing or wielding a tool belt while remodeling his beach house. It was hard to keep her eyes off him. But looking at him and admiring his incredible body was as far as she could take it, because a relationship was the last thing she needed.

Briggs Townsend was completely consumed with tearing down the house he’d shared with his cheating ex-wife and building new walls—for both the house and his heart. Women were the last thing on his mind when he spotted her on the beach. Then the firecracker in the sexy red bikini became the only thing he could think about. He didn’t need a relationship—but he needed her.

Two people who had both been burned in the past with undeniable chemistry and attraction, where was the harm in a little vacation romance? Sex with an expiration date sounded like a perfect solution, until emotions came into play. Will Talia be able to have casual sex with the irresistible stranger without getting lost in him? Will Briggs be willing to take a chance on her and tear down his walls to let her in? At the end of their week together, will either be able to walk away?

This is a stand-alone read, and can be enjoyed without having read previous books in the series.

This book I found out was book 6 in the Never Series and the first book I have read by this author and in the series. So as you can see they are a standalone and while you see secondary characters you are not lost at all. For those of you who have read the other books in the series, it was probably an added bonus to see the past characters cause I know I love seeing those characters in other books. 

Talia, single going to spend a week with her family (parents and brother, SIL and their twins) on a beach in Oregon how much fun can she really have? Well you can thank the weather gods for her unexpected turn of events while on vacation. 

Briggs, a surfer, rehabbing his beach house to sell it after he caught his ex-wife cheating on him is going through life trying to move on after this. He sees a firecracker in a red bikini while surfing and see spy's on him while on the beach, both not realizing they are watching each other. 

When the weather provides them an opportunity to meet each other never did both expect to want to know more about each other. One week is all they have to be friends and go their separate ways. Both are not looking for a relationship after being burned in the past, but their intense attraction may not be able to withhold much longer. Is one week enough? Do they keep in contact after she goes back home? That is what you will be wanting to know, but I am not telling so go read this book.

It is full of passion, feelings, you feel like you are apart of the group and settings. I have never wanted to surf in my life except I may make an exception and allow Briggs to show me how. haha

You will want to grab this book and sit down and finish it in one sitting. So choose your seat of choice, set your mind to beach mode and enjoy this second chance at finding yourself after being hurt in the past. I will definitely be adding the other books in this series to my growing TBR list.
