Jasmine Stanford, a Cape Cod Yoga instructor, started penniless, homeless and parentless, rebuilding her life into success and a feeling of security. A father in investments who committed suicide and a mother incapable of support, left Jasmine to fend for herself. Finally rebuilding a good life, she leaves little for personal relationships. That is, until she meets Leo Fischer, a former investment banker who has lost his memory after being shot.

Leo is spending time in Cape Cod to recover from his amnesia, with the idea of returning to the investment world. Things get off on the wrong foot when Jasmine is approached by Leo, thinking he is only attempting to "get in her pants". His unlikely story is discounted. Eventually, Jasmine learns the truth and sizzling hot sex is the beginning of their relationship. If nothing else, their physical attraction is always undeniable. Jasmine is reluctant to become involved emotionally as she is aware he will return to his world and she will be left behind again to rebuild her life alone. By this time Leo is regaining his memory and no longer wishes to return to his unfulfilling life, as it was. His genuine feelings for Jasmine are being re-evaluated daily, each time they are together. A surprise visit from Jasmine's estranged mother sets her world back on its axis. Now Jasmine sees things differently and has decisions to make.

BENDING OVER BACKWARD is a scorching hot tale, complete with very explicit sex. This is one of the most graphic sex stories I have ever read. The story itself is emotional and reveals the underlying fears of a woman and man who have both become survivors of tragedy. This is the first I have read by Samantha Hunter but found it interesting and an easy ready. The content had, perhaps, a bit more graphic sex than what I am accustomed to, but carried out with taste.

Book Summary

They both lost everything, and then they found each other.

Jasmine Stanford has to be the most stressed-out yoga instructor on Cape Cod. Years after a childhood trauma left her penniless, homeless and parentless, working hard to maintain her hard-won success and security is all she knows.

Controlling her carefully rebuilt life is Jasmine’s first priority, and there’s no room or time in it for sexy former stockbroker Leo Fischer. But the more Leo comes around, the more Jasmine feels her resolve crumbling.

Leo is—or was—a hotshot investment banker until a workplace tragedy wiped out his memory and his career. On Cape Cod to recover, he’s at loose ends, his future uncertain…until Jasmine becomes his north star. But their relationship is only physical, and Jasmine keeps her distance, even when she’s as close to him as any woman can be.

Jasmine is anything but indifferent to the desire exploding between them. A summer fling was fine when she thought Leo would return to New York. But she’s falling hard—and the last thing she wants to catch her is the past…

Warning: This book contains a wounded hero hotter than a summer sun and sex in very flexible positions.
