Marni Mann – Wild Aces

“That was…wow.  Just…wow.”

This is a jaw-dropping dark romance with a lot of plot twists.

Trapper is the best kind of bad boy.  He’s got the intelligence and control to be a master poker player.  He’s strong enough to have survived a troubled past and keep an open heart.  There’s also the fact that Brea can’t stop raving about his wondrous cock.  And oh yeah, he tops the charts at phone sex.

Brea is self sufficient woman who has been suffering.  I love how she brings some humor to the story.

“Next time, I’m going to wish for a small cock,” I said.  “That would be much easier to deal with than this.”  There was silence for a second, and then we both burst out laughing.  “Forget I said that.  No one wants a small cock.”

While this is mostly a romance story, it also made think about some bigger issues

  1. The concept of wrong and right as compared to illegal and legal.  Having gone to law school, I found myself building up arguments in my head.
  2. The capacity to forgive.  It takes a lot of strength and bravery to forgive sometimes.

I definitely suggest reading this book!

Synopsis: 

Falling for a con man is the most dangerous game of all…

Con artist Austin Shaw’s been in disguise so long he’s not sure where his fake identities end and he begins. Now that he’s been strong-armed into working for a specialized undercover unit working with the Chicago police—criminals with unique “skills”—the last thing he needs is to risk his iron control. Especially when it comes to a certain stunningly sexy hacker who tempts him with every look of disdain.

Polly Banks will never, ever trust a con man. On the trail of a ruthless crook who destroyed the only family she’s ever known, Polly is unnerved by the shadow who follows her every move. The one who makes her pulse pound and breath short with lust. Austin. He’s infuriating, enigmatic, and pure sex appeal, and she’s determined to resist him.

But an untrustworthy man of disguise can become anyone he wants…including a man that Polly must trust if she’s to escape their dangerous game alive.

Review:

THIS IS A MUST READ!!!  Think those other super popular erotic romance series are hot (oh you know the ones I’m talking about)?  This book blows them out of the water!

I highlight all my favorite parts of a book when I read – I highlighted so many sections, my copy is all yellow.  There are so many quotes that I want to include that my review would be ridiculously long.  I can’t help but share a couple (that are PG rated):

“That’s how Austin looks at you.  Like maybe you are the freedom and he’s still stuck in the prison yard.”

“Sins were only sins if someone was watching.”

This book is scorchingly volcanic hot.  It is so hot that despite the outside temperature being below zero, I needed to pour myself two cold glasses of water.  One glass just wasn’t enough.

Austin is skilled in the art of pleasuring women, but yet it’s been a decade since he’s enjoyed sex.  The gratification that he gets from Polly certainly makes up for long lost time.

Polly is an intelligent woman gifted in the art of computer hacking and gifted in the art of seducing men.  Austin’s caveman possessive side is determined to put an end to her flirtations.

Beyond the explosive sex scenes the story is arc is pretty amazing, too.  The “reformed” criminal component was intriguing in the fact that all the characters, both and main and side, were unique.  Their crazy backgrounds added cool twists in the story.

About the Author

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days.

Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of eight years and four-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.

Emma Chase – Appealed (The Legal Briefs Series #3)

Humorous, Fun, & Romantic!!  Another great hit by Emma Chase!!  This is an amazingly fantastic teenage lovers reunited story.

Let’s face it, teenage boys are selfish and immature, it’s not surprising that the relationship fizzled so quickly when then were young.  Their break up was realistic and emotionally true to their age.  It left both of them damaged for about 15 years.

Adult Brent is awesome.  He’s quit witted, great friend, and intelligent.  He also has a great sense of humor.  When his mom orchestrates an arrangement that leads him to share a room with Kennedy, he says

“Now she’s just creeping me out.  It’s one thing if I want to screw Kennedy ten different ways.  But to think of my mother cheering us on – sitting on the sidelines with a flag in one hand and foam cock in the other – is just wrong.”

Brent and Kennedy are an easy couple to want to cheer for.  Both of them come from extremely privileged homes and have trust funds to keep them happy, but they work their asses off at their legal jobs.  The heart of their relationship is based on the passion between them not on the lavish lifestyle that they could lead together.

Synopsis: Ever wondered if Ransom Scott would get his happily ever after? Find out February 16th!

It started with a drink.

It turned into a promise.

Ransom Scott lost his heart the day the woman he loved chose another man. Or so he thought. Estranged from his brother, distancing himself from the world, he’s been drowning his sorrows in cheap booze and women…determined to forget.

His world is falling apart, until a beautiful woman decides to take a chance on him.

Dani Deviche is as bewitching as she is innocent. Full of youth and vitality, she captivates him. Challenges him. She’s everything Ransom never thought to look for in the opposite sex, and he can’t get enough.

When a promise of friendship turns into something more, can Ransom fulfill his end of the bargain, or will a secret from Dani’s past destroy his last chance at happiness?

**Author’s Note** This book was written as a compliment to the Forbidden Trilogy. However, it can be read as a standalone.

Perfect book for a book club that enjoys a glass a wine.  It pairs well with both a red and white.

Tag may work the land at the vineyard, but he isn’t a snobby sommelier.  He’s over 6 and half feet tall with broad shoulders and a narrow waste.  But more importantly, he knows the type of kiss that pairs and follows the type of wine.

Weatherly is looking for an opportunity to let go.  Lucky for her, she arrives at her family’s property, an amazingly romantic paradise, and finds the incredibly hot Tag whose more than happy to engage in some down and dirty sex.  After reading some of these scenes, I needed a cold shower more than the characters.

Best part of the book is that both main characters are multi-dimensional.  They are possessive, strong, shrewd, and articulate but can also show insecurities and regret.  They were anything but predictable, which made for a great read.

There were lots of twists that kept me turning the pages ’til the very end.
