Dayna has sworn off radio jocks, but Tack Collins, her new co-host and flirt extraordinaire, leaves her floundering. Furious he didn’t have the courage to tell her before she squashed her life into her VW Beetle, she forges ahead, determined to succeed with her new job at the local radio station. But can true love blossom out of a mere chemical reaction? You’ll have to read the book to find out.Ī fabulously fun and flirty read, this is a book to curl up and forget the real world with and deserves the frisky five stars I’m awarding it.ĭayna Cook has driven 300 miles to move in with her boyfriend, only to learn he’s done with their relationship. Unable to refuse because a certain ex-boyfriend has left her homeless, Dayna has no idea how hard it’s going to be to say no to Tack’s winning ways. Keep the sexual tension on the airwaves and out of the bedroom, and she will make it financially worth their while. Loving the feisty and frisky innuendo-laden banter that ricochets between the pair, the station manager makes them an offer they can’t refuse. Then a twist of fate places Dayna on the morning show with local country heartthrob Tack Collins and the sparks fly. Although given what a useless article said boyfriend is, I wouldn’t have followed him across the street let alone several state lines.

When Dayna follows her boyfriend halfway across the country expecting to start a new job and settle down with him in domestic bliss, to say she’s shocked to discover he’s had a change of heart is an understatement. I’ve read books by this author before and very much enjoy her light, breezy style of writing and “Morning Man” was no exception. Without being able to gratify their intensifying desire, the pair’s sizzling attraction deviates in an entirely unexpected direction fraught with secret trysts, jealous radio groupies, a remorseful ex-boyfriend and a resentful former co-host as Tack and Dayna discover that genuine feelings create more static than casual sex ever could. For Tack, it means the longest, most frustrating summer of his life. For Dayna, it means a sure-fire way to get back on her feet (and back at her ex). The boss warns them that knocking boots will kill the sexual tension that drives listeners to tune in to their show – then clamps down with a chastity belt of an offer: stay out of bed until the ratings period ends in exchange for a big, fat bonus. But then Dayna’s new boss reassigns her to co-host Hot Country 103’s morning show with the cocky but irresistible Tack Collins and her hormones start backpedaling.Īs Wake Up with Tack and Dayna kicks into high gear, so does the duo’s mutual lust. After draining her savings, moving 300 miles and then being dumped on arrival by her boyfriend, Dayna Cook vows to stop falling for the radio jocks she works with.
