ONCE BURNED Sadie Howard never dates a guy more than once-but Fate has other plans for her when it comes to Aiden Downey, the one that got away. Aiden loved her, left her, and broke her heart. Yet suddenly she's bumping into him at every turn, driven to distraction by his wicked grin and rock-hard body. Now she can't resist finishing what they started-as long as she doesn't let herself fall in love . . . 

TWICE AS TEMPTING Aiden Downey threw away the best thing he ever had when he let Sadie go, and now he's determined to win back the woman he's always wanted. Sadie agrees to let him into her life-and her bed-as long as there are no strings attached. But Aiden's not about to make the same mistake again. Can he convince her to take a second chance on a once-in-a-lifetime love?

My Review:

I enjoyed reading this story, from the very beginning there is a sexual tension between Sadie and Aiden that they can't deny. They have a past and secrets that makes it impossible for the two of them to see a future together. Saide, after being left by her ex-fiance is determined to move on and not date anyone more than once. Yet, when she meets Aiden, she can't resist the pull that they have towards each other and lets him into her heart. On the other hand, Aiden has always been the weaker one in his family. He ties to be successful, but chances to get what he wants stop as soon as his mother passes away. He takes the blame for not doing enough, but what torn him apart was ending his relationship with Sadie.

Now the two reunite and can't seem to stay from each other. This makes things complicated for the two of them and they will have to learn to keep their desires at bay if they don't want to get hurt again. 
I truly liked this book, it was very well-written and a page-turner. I loved the chemistry between Sadie and Aiden, they both want each other yet they can't seem to accept what they want. Overall, this book was great and I recommend everyone to try it out, and the first book of the series as well.
