Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey

Description courtesy of Goodreads:
When Keri Daniels' editor finds out she has previous carnal knowledge of reclusive bestselling author Joe Kowalski, she gives Keri a choice: get an interview or get a new job.
Joe's never forgotten the first girl to break his heart, so he's intrigued to hear Keri's back in town--and looking for him. Despite his intense need for privacy, he'll grant Keri an interview if it means a chance to finish what they started in high school.
He proposes an outrageous plan--for every day she survives with his family on their annual camping and four-wheeling trip, Keri can ask one question. Keri agrees; she's worked too hard to walk away from her career.
But the chemistry between them is still as potent as the bug spray, Joe's sister is out to avenge his broken heart and Keri hasn't ridden an ATV since she was ten. Who knew a little blackmail, a whole lot of family and some sizzling romantic interludes could make Keri reconsider the old dream of Keri & Joe 2gether 4ever. 


Wow, what a story.  I love the Kowalski family.  The romance is actually three fold in this story Joe and Keri reconnecting from their breakup 20 years earlier, Evan and Terri and Mike and Lisa need to reconnect now that their children are a bit more independent.  Instead of being bogged down with all these storylines, this book totally works.  The secondary romances are not belabored, but they are there and they are touched on.  The author's writing is deft with strong pacing and the characters are well written and very very likeable.  Even the older kids are given personalities and real face time.  The romance is steamy, the sexual tension is off the charts and the characters just make you fall in love with them.  I can't wait to pick up the next in the series.
