Rocket Jones is the son of a powerful Australian Millionaire and owns a hot new nightclub in Melbourne. Robyn Banks is the daughter of a police officer, who flies experimental aircraft for the Australian Air Force. Grounded is the story of how these two lives come together in spite of the odds against it.

Rocket has spent a lifetime trying to live his own life and succeed without his father's influence. Robyn dances her way into his desires in the club and continues the seduction into his bedroom. She seems wild and free, exactly the opposite of the kind of girl Rocket's father would want him to marry. His head of security warns him she is nothing but trouble, which makes her an incredibly enticing diversion. And she makes him hotter than any woman he has known before.

Robyn is there for the pleasure, good hot sex with a gorgeous man who makes all the right moves. She doesn't want a relationship, she has too many shadows in her past to give a man that kind of attention. The passion they create together takes them both by surprise. What if this is more than sex? What do they do when lust turns to making love? Everything stands between these two and a future together. Each one must face their own demons alone before they can stand together and accept the truth of their feelings.

Rose Middleton has crafted strong characters who impress us with their strengths, as well as prove again how foolish and vulnerable a heart can be. The story is layered with difficult family relationships, unexpected plot twists, and explores the ways that real life can interfere with modern romance. The plot is riveting, and holds you throughout the book. It is an honest look at how fragile love can be in a world where trust and honesty are difficult to find. Though the epilogue was a bit long, the read was well worth it. This new writer is someone to look for in the future.
