	Fire Department Captain Dean Wolcott has struggled to tame the wild boy ways of his childhood. Now an adult, he's a responsible and respected member of the Silver Springs Fire Department. But with all he has achieved, there is one thing he still longs for…Veronica Abbott. The sweet, innocent, rich girl has always been out of his league, but that never stopped her from monopolizing his dreams. Now she's back, and the woman she has become leaves Dean with his jaw touching the floor! After a life of domineering parents and becoming a widow in her mid-twenties, Veronica is finally in control of her future. And a future of excitement, surprise and spice is exactly what she wants. Her new business—a shop of sexual favors and lingerie—is sure to give her some of that, but it’s the prospect of Dean Wolcott that really lights the fire inside her.

	Captain Dean Wolcott was dreaming. He knew he had to be when he stepped out his front door to find the beauty in the driveway. And no, the beauty wasn't his motorcycle, though the fire-engine-red Harley FLSTFI Fat Boy, with its twin cam engine, was the current love of his life. It was the long legged, long-haired, completely naked blond leaning against it that had him stopping in his tracks. He took a moment to study her. Her sunshine hair fell over one shoulder barely covering a breast, the contrast of that hair against her completely naked, all over tanned skin. Her breasts weren't large by any means, but they were full, perfectly rounded, and oh so enticing. His palms burned to cup those breasts, his thumbs aching to graze over their taut, dark brown peaks. He fisted his hands. His gaze slid down her flat stomach, over the patch of blond curls that was barely visible between her legs—oh, yeah, she was a natural blond—and continued down. Her legs were toned, perfectly shaped, and seemed to go on for miles. He swallowed. His mouth watering at the thought of tasting them, skimming his tongue from her ankle up the long length of one leg until he licked himself home to that wonderfully enticing pussy. She would have no problem wrapping those legs around his waist as he slid... No. Stop it. You can't do this again. He was not going to get lost in those thoughts again. Not this time. This wasn't the first time this woman, this vision, had visited him in his dreams, and each time he allowed the scenario to play without a single word spoken. Not this time, he thought with a determination that surprised even him. This time, there would be conversation. This time, he would tell her to leave him alone, to stop tormenting his dreams. Because I can't have her, he thought miserably. No matter how badly he wanted her, no matter how many years he had dreamed of her, he could never have her. She raised a hand, crooked a finger at him. No. Don't go near her. If you do, you're doomed. He tried to dig in his heels but realized all too quickly it wouldn't work when he stood on solid concrete. Tell her to go. Tell her to leave you alone. He tried to speak, but no sound came out. Instead, just like every other repeat of this dream, he found himself being pulled toward her. Then the scene changed, as if someone had clicked the channel button on a remote control and he was back inside his house with her in his bed. He was naked now, too, and on top of her. Dear God, please don't let me wake up, he thought as his gazed down at her, felt the soft warmth of her skin against his. Her hands were on his shoulders, her long fingernails digging into his back. He could feel those legs wrapped tightly around his waist as he slowly began to ease the tip of his cock toward the sopping wet opening of her pussy. All thoughts of telling her to leave, of getting her out of his dreams had been swept away. Replaced by the overwhelming need to have her, to be inside her, even if only in his fantasies. A loud crack of thunder had him stopping just before his dick slid home. What the hell? It hadn't been raining when they were in his driveway. Then an ear-piercing shrill cut through the sexually charged atmosphere, and Dean's eyes popped open.

I highly recommend Caught Off Guard for all fans of reformed bad boys and good girls, men in uniform and the women who love them, and a sweet, lush romance. Oh, and if you like dull, uninspired sex, then this book is definitely NOT FOR YOU.

Tonya Ramagos is an author who never fails to tell a great story. Caught Off Guard is most definitely one of those. Dean and Veronica are two characters that harbored a secret crush for each other all of their lives but didn’t necessarily know it. I loved that Dean (picture totally hot, buff firefighter) is so in touch with what he wants. He’s dreamed of Veronica for years. Even believing that he had no chance, a tiny spark was always there. Veronica is a woman who has finally taken control of her life. She’s straightforward in her attraction to Dean and goes after him with a single-mindedness that is enviable. Their initial meeting when she comes back to town knocked my socks off and the blazing hot attraction between these two continues throughout the book. They both have to examine what they want and decide whether they are ready to try to find happiness together. Although their relationship occurs quickly, it flows well in this fast paced tale and only the wrap up felt rushed. If you’re looking for a quick, hot read, then grab Caught Off Guard.

What is hotter than a fireman love story? How about a mature woman that is ready to embrace her sensual side? This book hooked me from the very first page. This story draws you in with the action and the layers of details. I have to say that I loved reading it and hope you do too.

Caught Off Guard explodes with passion and longing! Dean and Veronica share some pretty serious fantasies of each other, but as they find out, the reality is definitely better than either could ever have imagined. I really liked Veronica. She was very take-charge and upfront about her desire for Dean, while being equally upfront about her hesitations for a deeper relationship. She didn’t hide what she was feeling and thus, though she couldn’t always give Dean the answers he wanted, at least he knew that there was hope for a stronger relationship to spark.

Tonya Ramagos has been on my author radar for awhile and this book just cements her place on my keeper shelf. Perhaps a simple romance plot-wise, the emotional intensity of these characters marks this story as a winner. I hope Ms. Ramagos has plans to write about the other firefighters of Silver Springs.

Caught Off Guard was a naughty look at two people whose childhood crushes were still alive and strong years later. I fell in love with Dean completely and absolutely because his intentions were so loving and so honorable. I found myself wincing with Veronica’s mannerisms and blatant sexuality, but after realizing how she wanted to finally be free from being controlled, I could see where she was coming from. Caught Off Guard by Tonya Ramagos was a delightful read. I liked the plot and love when true love prevails!

Fires aren’t the only things hot in this great story about two people finding love. I really enjoyed the characters of the story and the chemistry that exists between them as their sex scenes steam up the pages. Great sexual chemistry isn’t the only thing that exists between Dean and Veronica. Both able to give the other what they need and have longed for their entire life: unconditional love and acceptance. But Veronica is reluctant to open herself up to hurt again and to risk losing her newfound independence. Her past relationships with her parents and her husband still haunt her. I felt the author handled the relationship and its difficulties very well.

In addition to Dean and Veronica, we are also introduced to a few other fascinating characters. Two of Dean’s fellow firefighters in this story, Tripp and Bailey, intrigued me and I longed to know more.

If Caught off Guard is anything to go by, I look forward to reading more in this great series.

Let me start off by saying this book is very entertaining. Veronica is the rich girl who comes home to live a life of adventure. Dean is the bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks who has cleaned himself up and is going after the woman he wants. Dynamite couldn’t blow these two apart and the heat they give off is hotter than the sun. Tonya Ramagos is a delightful author and her talented writing will take her far.

Caught off Guard was a quick fun read. I felt that the brief synopsis of the characters added to the plot of the story. Ms. Ramagos didn't prolong the detailed descriptions of the Dean, Veronica, or the secondary characters, allowing the plot to flow smoothly. I enjoyed reading about Veronica and her discovery that something was missing in her sex life. She didn't blame her husband; she blamed herself for not knowing what she wanted. That was perhaps the most important statement in this story for me. Veronica realized that she was a very sexual woman and became more comfortable in her sexuality from the way she dressed to how she approached Dean. Dean was not as complex as I initially thought; he was the perfect bad boy who realized he wanted to give all of that sexual heat to one special woman for life. The sexual acts between Dean and Veronica were very hot and steamy. I was disappointed when the story ended, as I wanted to know more about the men and women of the Silver Springs fire department.
