Samantha feels out of place in the world of drugs and casual sex in which she's been temporarily immersed. When she escapes to the garden, she expects to wait quietly for her friend not to encounter a devastatingly handsome stranger in the darkness.

Connor Clarey is one of Hollywood's most desired leading men. Connor is much sought-after for his alleged sexual stamina, but the more attention his prowess in the bedroom draws, the less he finds he is interested in the crowd of emaciated, vapid starlets who pursue him. He's on the verge of giving up on the possibility of a meaningful relationship with a real woman.

Until he encounters a curvy blonde in the garden...

Acting on Impulse offers every woman's fantasy - ordinary woman bewitches incredible, seemingly unattainable man. Samantha is well-written heroine that any woman could identify with and Connor is the stuff of pure fantasy. Ms. Raine blends heart-warming romance with uninhibited sex with great ease and her writing is splendid. While this reviewer would like to have seen Sam's family dynamic pulled into the story a little more, I am very anxious to read other stories from Ms. Raine. Acting on Impulse is a sexy romance that will make you believe in dreams.
