Title: Over the Top
Series: Maverick Montana #4
Release Date: July 21st, 2015
Synopsis
Dawn Freeze had a huge crush on Hawk Rain for years, and the entire town knows it. It's understandable-- the man is total hotness. That tall, lean body. Intense dark eyes. And always one foot out the door. Now he's on leave for exactly one week. And this time, he's made it crystal clear that he only wants one thing. Her.
Hawk's been fighting his attraction to Dawn for as long as he can remember. She's his best friend's little sister, and that means hands-off. Except now she's all grown up, and her sweet sexiness is exactly what he craves. But just as Hawk allows himself one mindblowingly intense night with Dawn, he learns that everyone he loves is in danger. Especially her.
And the only way to protect Dawn is to push her away...

Excerpt:
Dawn stilled. She blinked and then narrowed her focus to his face. “Why not?”
Because the woman had crushed on him big time, and that didn’t just go away. “I don’t want to hurt you.”
Her smile held a hint of danger. “Do I look hurt?”
Hell no. She looked like an angel fully prepared to sin. “You know what I mean.”
She bit her lip, and he wanted to groan. Again. “I really don’t know, Hawk. Last time I checked, we were just friends. You made that abundantly clear last year.”
Yeah, he had. He’d said those exact words to her after Colt and Melanie’s wedding, figuring there wasn’t a chance in hell he’d survive his last job and make it home. Yet here he was. “I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page.” He sounded like an asshole, damn it.
Then she smiled, and he forgot to breathe. Again. “We’re on the same page,” she murmured.
The end of the bar slammed open, and Adam strode around with a thick blue ski jacket in his hands. “Damn, Hawk. It’s good to see you.”
Hawk nodded and leaned over for a manly half-hug. “Ditto. We’ll have to have a drink sometime this week.”
“Name the night, and I’m here.” Adam turned toward Dawn. “Sorry I took so long.”
Hawk frowned and eyed the bar owner. The guy was well over six foot, built tough, and smiling way too gently. “Took so long?” Hawk asked.
Dawn chuckled. “Were you counting your money from tonight? Miser?”
Adam grinned, flashing what people probably thought was a charming dimple. “I’ve asked you repeatedly to stop calling me that.” He helped Dawn into the thick jacket. “You ready?” His smile relaxed his usually hard face.
Dawn patted Adam’s flat stomach and turned back to Hawk. “I think so. Are we done?”
Hawk slowly nodded. “Yeah.” Almost in a daze, he followed Adam and Dawn from the bar, waiting until Adam locked up. How could they be dating? Did Colton know about that? How could this have happened so quickly? “You two have a nice night.”
“Thanks.” Dawn smiled, and the duo ran through the sleet and across the street to a black Chevy pickup against the opposite curb. Adam opened the driver’s door, and Dawn jumped up, scooting across the seat. Two seconds later, Adam started the engine and drove the truck down the deserted main street of town.
Hawk watched them until the truck disappeared. Snow and freezing rain smashed down, and he didn’t care. Heat exploded in his chest, forcing him to take several deep breaths to calm himself.
All he’d wanted to do was explain to Dawn that he respected her and would never hurt her feelings as a friend. The last thing he expected was to find himself standing in the rain with his dick in his hand.

I love Rebecca Zanetti and her books and I can honestly say that Over the Top was another great read. I was intrigued from the first few pages and I couldn't put it down till I read the last word. The story was intriguing and fast paced, filled with danger, suspense, excitement, romance, tenderness and so much hotness that it will just leave you breathless. The characters are well developed, have deepness and the chemistry between them it is simply off the charts :)

My Review:
I love Rebecca Zanetti and her books and I can honestly say that Over the Top was another great read. I was intrigued from the first few pages and I couldn't put it down till I read the last word. The story was intriguing and fast paced, filled with danger, suspense, excitement, romance, tenderness and so much hotness that it will just leave you breathless.

I have to say that Hawk is one of my favorite bad boys. He is the ultimate tall, dark and dangerous hottie :) With his intense and mesmerizing gaze he can melt your panties and if you are somehow resistant to that, his dirty mouth will simply finish you off. And when you add to that that his heart has belonged to one woman for the past few years but he has resisted his attraction in order to save her from heartache, then you can simply just give your heart to him on a silver platter :) He is also ready to protect his woman at any cost. He is loyal to his friends and family and the people he loves always come first.
Dawn is Hawk's perfect other half. She is strong and independent, loyal and loving. Well, she still has to prove to her older brothers that she is all grown up, but she definitely knows how to go about it ;) I loved that she's been in love with Hawk since she was a little girl. Somehow it feels like a meant to be together story and I love those :)
The only thing I can say about the book is: I LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT!!! It is simply a great combination of suspense, romance and humor. I definitely recommend it and if you haven't read anything by Rebecca Zanetti so far, this is a perfect place to start. As I haven't read the rest of the books in the series, I am diving into them the first chance I get :) The big plus is that the books can be read independently, so it is not a problem if you don't start from the beginning ;)
