Publisher Description
Hotel chain mogul Sol DuMont is about to learn that some of life’s biggest surprises come in deceptively small packages—namely a petite heiress named Rain who’s hell-bent on upsetting her family’s expectations—in this first book in the all new series by Thea de Salle, set against the sultry backdrop of New Orleans.
Thirty-seven-year-old Sol DuMont is a divorcee and the owner of a mid-sized hotel chain in New Orleans. Since Hurricane Katrina, his father’s death, and the decision that he and his ex-wife Maddy are far better off friends than lovers, he’s lost interest in almost everything he held dear—parties, people, and pushing limits.
All his limits.
Then Arianna Barrington checks into his hotel.
Twenty-four-year-old Arianna “Rain” Barrington could have been society’s sweetheart. Her family is moneyed, connected press darlings, and make sweeping headlines from coast to coast for reasons both good and bad. But when her mother shoves her at Charles Harwood—the obnoxious, entitled heir of Harwood Corp—to cement a billion-dollar business merger, Rain does the only thing she can think of to escape: she creates a scandal so big Harwood doesn’t want her anymore before fleeing to New Orleans for much-needed rest and relaxation.
All she wants is jazz piano, beignets, and to sail the Mississippi. What she gets is Sol DuMont, a whirlwind affair, and a hands-on education in sex, power play, and pushing limits.
All her limits.

Promising
This one was hard for me, I liked the characters enough to make this a round up type of 2.5 and it took me a while to pinpoint what about this book didn't quite work for me because I liked a lot about it: the characters, the setting, the story itself. But it finally clicked about halfway through that the sexual tension just wasn't there. It was two very sexy people who were very into what was happening but for some reason I just didn't see/feel the tension between the characters. This is this writing duo's first book though, so I'm hoping to feel it more in book 2, because there was definitely promise in this one, it just didn't stick the landing for me.
Wow.
This is sooo good! I loved every single second of this book!
The characters were done so well. You will fall in love with them. We get plus size rep and bisexual rep from our two MCs. Love that for us.
The atmosphere... omg. I’ve been to NOLA and it truly is a magical place. You can totally feel the vibe and spirit while reading this book! It had me yearning to go back asap!
And the sex scenes... whew.😅🔥 I need a cold shower! 😂🚿
