Acting on Impulse

After a very public breakup with a media-hungry politician, fitness trainer Tori Alvarez escapes to Aruba for rest, relaxation, and copious amounts of sex on the beach--the cocktail, that is. She vows to keep her vacation a man-free zone but when a cute guy is seated next to her on the plane, Tori can't resist a little harmless flirting.

Hollywood heartthrob Carter Stone underwent a dramatic physical transformation for his latest role and it's clear his stunning seat mate doesn't recognize the man beneath the shaggy beard and extra lean frame. Now Carter needs help rebuilding his buff physique and Tori is perfect for the job. It doesn't hurt that she makes his pulse pound in more ways than one.

Sparks are flying, until a pesky paparazzo reveals Carter's identity. Tori is hurt and pissed. She wants nothing to do with another man in the limelight, but she's still got to whip him into shape. Can Carter convince Tori he's worth the threat to her privacy that comes with dating a famous actor, or will Tori chisel him down to nothing before he even gets the chance?

Booklist Review

After her high-profile Philadelphia-politician boyfriend breaks up with her on live radio, personal trainer Tori Alvarez decides a vacation in Aruba is just what the doctor ordered to get over the jerk. Flirting with fellow vacationer Carter Williamson at the resort seems like harmless fun until Tori discovers that Carter Williamson is really Hollywood heartthrob Carter Stone. Stung by his deception, Tori gives up any thoughts of having an island fling with him. However, when Carter turns up at the gym where Tori works a few weeks later desperately needing her professional expertise to help him shape up for a new role, she reluctantly finds herself agreeing to help. But if Tori is the one putting Carter through the paces, why is she getting all hot and sweaty? Combine Sosa's gift for creating easily relatable characters and her engaging, witty prose with some off-the-charts sensual love scenes and you have a knockout start to the author's new Love on Cue series.--Charles, John Copyright 2017 Booklist

Library Journal Review

Fitness trainer Tori Alvarez is ready for some alone time and her vacation in Aruba after a messy breakup. Carter Stone, star of two television shows, is flying off to Aruba to cool off after his doctor betrayed him to the press. Carter is trying to lay low after working on his first movie, and his radical physical change is the perfect disguise. After spending the entire flight in flirty conversation with his seatmate, Carter is convinced he can relax in relative anonymity. Landing at the same hotel, Tori still doesn't recognize the bearded and scrawny guy, but after their vacations are cut short, she finds herself training him for the role of a lifetime. Now Carter slowly begins to realize the maybe the life he wants is not the best life to live. This first book in the "Love on Cue" series guarantees characters that glow with equal parts wit, sass, and sensuality. Verdict In this latest from Sosa (Getting Dirty with the CEO), the mix of film and fitness keeps the action and the passions ramped up. Contemporary romance fans will fall for the multidimensional characters that never stray too far from family and friends as they struggle through the early part of their relationship.-John Rodzvilla, Emerson Coll., Boston © Copyright 2017.
