Jacob Iverson is in the small town of Apple Trail, Arkansas to help his brothers with rebuilding a house. It is here that he meets the gorgeous Flora. When he first realizes this pretty lady is a plumber, he is taken back. But Flora halts his sexist thinking right then and there. Yes she is a plumber and proud of it. She also works part time at the local diner. Having a very hard childhood, she has been on her own for many years. She likes it this way, never wanting to get too attached to anyone. Although she has found a warm friendship with some other women in Apple Trail, she keeps men at a distance. It’s obvious to both Jacob and Flora that there is a great deal of chemistry between them and they both want to explore it. But Flora makes sure to tell Jacob it will only be sex. Nothing to do with feelings, and emotions. Jacob has other plans though.
I’ve enjoy Keri Ford’s voice. She writes fun, very sexy small town contemporaries. I think Rough Play though is my least favorite of her books. There just isn’t any meat to this story. It’s all sex – which Keri Ford writes well, but I got bored. This story takes place at the same time as book one. So as you read book one, you know Flora and Jacob have something going on. But when you read this one, you discover they do, but there isn’t any depth to it. Flora only wants sex, no strings. Yet when they do have sex, of course strings pop up and she ends up pushing him away. It’s very predictable and as I said, nothing really happens besides sex and then Jacob convincing Flora she is worth a relationship.
This is a short review but there isn’t much else to say. It’s a sexy book, but I wish there was more to it.
