All the girls call me Thunder.

I might just finish up, and pull out. I'll take one more gig, rock her world, and see my way out.

CLIENT: MADISON

That rotten, no good--

My ex-boyfriend of too many years just left me three weeks before the most important wedding of my life.

I wanted to make a statement at that wedding. I've changed. I'm no longer the loser who got dumped by the popular boy in high school. Now I'm a successful business woman with clear skin.

But how can I possibly make that sort of statement as a loner?

I can't, that's how.

So when my friend suggests hiring a date from the Big D!ck Escort Service, it was hard to laugh it off. And as the days ticked by, it was harder and harder to deny that I needed saving.

No sex, though. I'm not that kinda girl. I'll just hire the guy for a date, and nothing else.

Just one date without any funny-business. That's do-able, right?

This is a full-length, sexy rom-com STANDALONE novel with lots of jokes, steam and shenanigans.

My Review:

It’s been a while since I’ve read anything by Willow Summer, but when I saw the cover and the synopsis I couldn’t wait to read the book and it didn’t disappoint at all. Thunder is the first book in the Big D Escort series and it follows the story of two total opposites who end up going on an adventure that would ultimately change their lives forever. At the beginning of the story we get to meet Colton “Thunder,” whose live as an escort is starting to tired him out. He wants to start something new and start a family if he finds the right girl. But being on demand and having a long list of women ready to pay anything to be with him is making it harder for him to quit. It is when there is a request for an escort that doesn’t work for the company anymore that interests him and he decides to take one last client before leaving for good. Little did he know that meeting Madison would change the course of his life.

It all began with an invitation to a wedding that Madison wasn’t expecting to get invited to, and now that her boyfriend suddenly breaks up with her she has no one to go to the wedding with. Madison hasn’t always had the best luck when it comes to guys and she has been hurt in the past. Her best friend has been her rock and when she decides to hire an escort, her friend is supportive of her decision. It’s when she meets Colton for the first time that Madison knows that he is different and the more time they spend together the more she wants to be with him. But soon she starts to question her relationship with him and that could threaten their relationship going forward.

I enjoyed reading Thunder very much, it was funny and romantic. Colton was sweet towards Maddison from the very beginning and he supported her when she needed him the most. It’s evident from the start that both of the characters just want to move on with their lives, but by helping each other they are ultimately growing closer than ever before. I loved the secondary characters in the story as well, they gave the book the edge that it needed. From beginning to end, the author did a great job describing the setting and developing the characters. The ending will definitely leave you wanting for more. I highly recommend reading this book and any other by the author. :)

My Rating:

{EXTERPT}

“He’s heading this way,” Colton said before sipping his water. 

“Who? James?” Madison looked up at the front table. The seat was empty. She caught sight of him off to the side, chatting with an older couple. “No, look. The bride is making the rounds on the other side of the room. He’ll probably stick with greeting family and friends.”

“There’s a reason he’s been glancing at you since we sat down. He doesn’t want to ridicule you. He wants to make a connection. He’ll work this way, I guarantee it. He’s probably waiting for me to get a drink. We’re both dry—it would only be logical for me to get up and grab a round now that there’s a break. Everyone else is.”

Confusion stole through her. “He’s been glancing at me?”

Colton’s hand rested on the base of her neck. “You haven’t noticed?”

She thought back, because no, she really hadn’t. It belatedly occurred to her that she’d been completely focused on every touch of Colton’s fingers. Every syllable he uttered. The jokes disguised in his upbeat praise of the food and wine. Conversation felt so easy with him, and silence was even easier. Comfortable. Full of potential. In all that time, she hadn’t thought to look up at James once. She hadn’t been worried, or interested, or self-conscious.

Honestly, she hadn’t thought of him at all. That was a nice surprise.

“He’s putting effort into establishing a connection,” Colton said, his hand applying pressure to her neck, pulling her closer. “I don’t know if he would ever act on it, but he’s certainly trying to put you in a position that gives him an opportunity.”

“With me?” She huffed. “Dream on. I’m sure he still sees that nerd he left crying on the steps of the high school. Tim clearly does.”

“Tim’s an idiot.” Colton’s big fingers touched her chin. She let him turn her face in his direction, his beautiful blue eyes deep and soft. “You have no idea how entrancing you are, do you? You are an incredible catch. No man alive would turn you down. Women are probably terrified of you for that fact, but I doubt they could hate you. Not after meeting you. You’re too sweet to be hated. Too modest to be jealous of. You’re the whole package, Maddie. How can you not see that? Why wasn’t Frank telling you all of this constantly? You should be bored of hearing it by now, not blushing and shaking your head.”

She stopped shaking her head, her heart swelling and a laugh rising up to the surface. “You’re worth every penny.”

Frustration and embarrassment crossed his expression. His eyes flicked upward, and the next moment he was leaning toward her, closing the distance. “I’m going to kiss you, Maddie. Are you ready?”

A jolt of excitement coursed through her. She licked her lips as her stomach spun, nervous and anxious and totally freaking out.

It’s just a kiss. Calm down!

Those lips moved closer, parted just slightly, promising heaven and unicorns and swirly glitter bombs. A hand landed on her knee, and the other wrapped around the back of her neck, guiding her in like a landing zone. It was wise—she was definitely worried about a crash landing.

His soft lips glanced off hers at first, light and teasing. A shock of electricity tore through her. Her sex tightened, her stomach flipped, and her heart started pounding in her ears. Light and teasing was not going to work. She needed deep, hard, and fast. His body smashing into hers. His cock making her scream.

He nibbled her bottom lip before opening her mouth with his and flicking his tongue inside. She moaned and leaned into him, clutching against his chest helplessly, losing herself in the taste of him, sweet and wild. His hand drifted up her thigh. She opened her knees, unable to help it.

Without warning, the kiss took on a life of its own. Deepening. Consuming. His tongue thrust into her mouth, forcing out small moans. The fire of his touch kindled the raw passion she’d always dreamed of finding with someone. She fell into it, losing herself.

Just as suddenly as the kiss had escalated into exciting and oh so hot, he backed off. Pulled away.

Not expecting it, she lost her balance and pitched forward. Her knees dusted the ground and she face-planted into his chest.

“Sorry,” she mumbled into his shirt. His strong hands found her upper arms and basically hoisted her into her seat. “Sorry,” she said again, looking at the wet mark of drool on his pristine shirt. Thankfully she hadn’t reapplied lipstick after dinner. “I’m a klutz.”

His stern face didn’t show any emotion, but the tightness around his eyes suggested a problem.

“Sorry,” she said again, checking her knee. There was a slight rub against the fabric. “This is why I don’t wear pretty dresses.” She dusted it off, as if that would help.
