SEXY FILTHY BOSS

by Piper Rayne

Book Synopsis

He’s the sexy alpha male in the corner office who goes through assistants faster than free donuts in the breakroom.

I’m the assistant who was chosen to cover for his last fire.

The owner of the company is clear—hook the biggest client in our firm’s history and there’s a partnership for him and a promotion for me. Stipulation—we do it together.

It doesn’t take a tarot card-reading psychic to figure out where our story is headed… late nights, trips out of town, and more than a few awkward moments filled with sexual tension.

No worries though. I pride myself on my willpower. I can totally ignore his sexy grin, his rock-hard body and his dreamy brown eyes. I will not become the woman other women hate.

But it turns out that Enzo Mancini has a lot of layers and if I don’t stop peeling, I’m going to lose everything, including my dignity.

My Review

As successful as he is, hot advertising executive, Enzo Mancini is well on his way to making partner at his ad agency; but he has a lot to learn when it comes to women!

As most women are well aware, it is extremely difficult to be taken seriously in a male dominated field like advertising.  So when head strong and fiercely driven, Annie Stewart, is forced to cover for a position that she is over qualified for, only because of Enzo’s revolving door of receptionists, it becomes an opportunity for her to help him open his eyes to the truth that surrounds him in his male heavy dominated world.

The writing duo that is Piper Rayne has yet again knocked it out of the park with this fun, witty story that has heart, and so much more.  They give us a romance that focuses on what it is like for women in the workforce and what it is like to be taken seriously; but they do so as only they can, writing a sizzling story  with lots of heart and family values. 

For your next read look no further than Sexy Filthy Boss.

by Lisa Renee Jones

Book Synopsis

Continuing where Dirty Rich Cinderella Story left off...

Get ready for a steamy honeymoon, and a heart-stopping welcome home for Cole and Lori!

The unexpected is about to happen and while Lori has faced the demons of her past, she and Cole will face those of his past now.

My Review

Lori and Cole are now happily married and spending their honeymoon in the incredible city of Pairs.  But as the happy couple embarks on their new life together back home in New York, facing the monotony of the daily grind at the law firm where they both work, they are challenged with a handful of surprises.

As issues at the firm continue to mount, dredging up some of Cole’s past fears and insecurities, it is up to Lori to help him find peace.  Sensing the need they both have for control in the chaos that is now their lives, the two must find a way to help one another seek refuge before it tears them apart. 

With continued passion and undeniably hot chemistry this book offered great storytelling for the characters that I have come to love.  There was a great amount of uncertainty that kept the story moving at a fast pace, and of course, as with any of the Dirty Rich books, room for more in the future. 

As Always, Happy Reading!

DIRTY RICH BETRAYAL

by Lisa Renee Jones

Book Synopsis

Grayson Bennett.

He's a billionaire, a lawyer, the king of the world to some. A professed lifelong bachelor. A man who took his father's business and fortune and turned marginal success into an empire. Now someone is threatening that empire and he's going to burn them to the ground. But he'll need the help of one person. He'll need her.

That woman is Mia Cavanaugh, criminal attorney, ex-lover, a woman who believes he betrayed her, a woman who could burn him to the ground, but she won't. Because she loves him. Because he loves her, and it's time that she sees the truth of the past.

Now, he's handing her the key to his future. He's giving her the chance to burn him to the ground. He's letting her see the real man beneath the surface that not even she's seen in the past. She has to decide what to do with that man. Love him or destroy him.

My Review

Unspeakable bitterness and jealously tore them apart nearly a year ago and yet it is that same force that finds two former lovers reuniting, working together, to tackle an old nemesis once and for all. 

Grayson Bennett met his match when he literally ran into Mia Cavanaugh.  He knew instantly he was in over his head and she would be his forever.  But, when his guard was down and his weaknesses were exposed, Grayson was left vulnerable to lose not just the company he helped his father build, but the woman who had become his everything, Mia.

Mia Cavanaugh is a brilliant criminal attorney and a proud independent woman.  Having been left heartbroken a year ago, it is with some trepidation that she reaches out to Grayson to warn him that he is in trouble.  But never backing down from a fight she is determined to do whatever it takes to protect the man she once loved, including putting her own safety on the line, to ensure that evil will not prevail.

The one weapon Grayson has in his arsenal to fight this new war he finds on his door steps is the one which his opponent has not given enough credit.  But, will true love be Grayson’s saving grace?  I highly recommend that you read this book so that you can learn for yourself if love really can conquer all!

As Always, Happy Reading!

DIRTY RICH OBSESSION

by Lisa Renee Jones

Book Synopsis

A MAN OF CONTROL. A WOMAN WHO'S ABOUT TO TAKE IT.

Reid Maxwell is one of the top corporate attorneys and one of the most eligible bachelors in New York City. He likes his wins big, his women beautiful and in bed, not out, and most importantly the deep burn of his past buried. Until one woman, a most unexpected woman, challenges him in ways that might just destroy the invincible Mr. Maxwell.

Carrie West is captive to Reid Maxwell and a debt between their families she doesn't know exists. It should be so simple for Reid Maxwell. Claim the company that is now his. The problem: he's now obsessed with Carrie, the daughter of the man he's destined to destroy.

Now who's captive to who?

My Review

Tired of being kept in the dark, Carrie West is searching for answers.  About to lose her company, the company she has run alongside her father the past ten years, Carrie takes things into her own hands.  She seeks out Reid Maxwell, the new owner of her company, and the only man capable of giving her the answers that she needs. 

Carrie is desperate for answers.  Angry and willing to do whatever it takes, she gets his attention by taking matters into her own hands; sending Reid a clear message that she is not to be messed with.

Reid Maxwell is many things.  He is powerful, successful, and most often, the smartest person in the room.  So when Carrie beats him at his own game he is not only intrigued, but he becomes a bit obsessed with everything about her.  No woman before her has been able to keep up with him, let alone beat him at his own game.  

Now that the game has changed, which player will come out the winner?  Or will they both lose?  That is the question in this complex story about two families at war, decades of dirty secrets and where money brings out the worst in people.  I believe if you are a fan of Lisa’s you will enjoy this book as much as I did.

As Always, Happy Reading!

DIRTY RICH CINDERELLA STORY

by Lisa Renee Jones

Book Synopsis

Seduced for a night. Taken forever.

With only nine months left at Stanford, and despite being top of her law school class, Lori Havens takes leave to care for her sick mother. That means she juggles three jobs, the best of which is researcher for novelist, and syndicated columnist of "Cat Does Crime," Cat Summer.

One evening after finishing up her work at Cat's apartment building, Lori has an encounter with a sexy stranger, and does something out of character. She goes home with him. The night is perfect, he's perfect, wealthy, powerful and from out of town. Morning comes, and despite their connection, Lori leaves before he finds out she's far from the equal he believes her to be. She's not a charity case and she's not after his money. She will make her own. In other words, she leaves before her prince charming finds out she's no princess. 

Flash forward a few months, Lori’s mother is healing, and Cat's husband, Reese, has merged his firm with another and Lori lands an internship there, with school credit and scholarship money.. Everything is falling into place. That is until fate reveals a wicked twist of events and Lori walks into a conference room to find her new boss, Cole Brooks, one of the partners, is her one-night prince charming. One sizzling shared look across a boardroom, and it’s clear: this man is not done with her. It’s not long before Lori is informed that she’ll be working high profile cases with her one night prince charming which will require long nights and travel, starting immediately.

My Review

Forced to make the best of life, with stifling expectations placed on her shoulders, Lori Havens is determined to be the heroine of her own story, even more so to be independent of any man.

So when she learns that she will now be working for Cole Brooks, the confident, successful and rich man she shared a one-night stand with months prior, Lori is determined to keep him in his place.   

Working closely together with someone you admire could threaten to complicate any working relationship, but adding in the extra pressure of undeniable sexual chemistry, and only time will tell what will transpire. 

Lori Havens is undoubtedly one of my all-time favorite heroines.  She was fierce in her beliefs, strong, and loyal.  Laced with legal drama and intrigue, this story was a delight to read.  Experiencing the love story between her and Cole unfold was something to behold.

As Always, Happy Reading!

AFTERNOON DELIGHT

by Piper Rayne

Book Synopsis

The perfect man for me is the one who broke my heart. #thanksbutnothanks

Once bitten.
Twice shy.
Yeah, I wish.

I'm on a mission to find myself a nice, solid, respectable man. The only problem is nice, solid, and respectable comes in a meh package and is B-O-R-I-N-G as hell.

It's been established. I have one type. Bad Boy. I tried the other flavors, I really did. But there's nothing like the allure of a man who takes what he wants without apology.

As if my love life isn't dramatic enough, Dean Bennett walks into my life again thinking he's going to win me back with his charm and charisma. He might come in a different package, but under that expensive suit he's still the same cocky, arrogant, pompous prick who only cares about numero uno.

I'm not that naïve young girl anymore so I have to ignore the fact that the way he looks at me practically sets my panties on fire.

Everyone deserves a second chance to right a wrong. The problem? He's not just an ex-boyfriend…

He's my ex-husband.

My Review

Chelsea is a straight laced, no holds barred talker, who works with two women who have become her best friends.  The highlights for these women, have been the outrageous stories Chelsea regales of her experiences in the scary world of dating.  Chelsea has been hurt so while she keeps things light, dating guys the opposite of her ex, she just isn’t finding anyone that piques her interest.

Dean is a tax attorney.  He is successful, attractive, and everything that Chelsea craves in a man.  One problem, he is the ex that Chelsea swore she would never let herself fall for again.

The two have a “run-in” with one another that simply changes the course of both of their lives.  For better or worse, these two have a past full of hurts and scars; and a future that is anyone’s guess.

I suggest that you treat yourself to a dose of pure joy and indulge in an afternoon of delight.

As Always, Happy Reading!

TAPPING THE BILLIONAIRE

by Max Monroe

Book Synopsis

Blind dates? Online dating profiles? Been there, done that.

Georgia Cummings has zero luck with dating, and the era of the internet is not her friend.

No matter how fast she runs, how many corners she turns, she can’t find her way out of this weird, alternate universe where men think dick pics are a replacement for small talk and getting to know a girl. One more crotch selfie and she might write men off for good…

But why can’t she stop fantasizing about him?

Kline Brooks is the quintessential billionaire bad boy—dark, styled, short hair, muscles for days, and a panty-dropping smile.
Except--he isn’t.

As his employee, he won’t touch her with a ten foot pole.
But she won’t touch him either.

Too bad their hormones missed the memo.

My Review

The story crafted between Georgia and Kline was funny, sweet, and held my attention.  Georgia’s character made me laugh out loud on many occasions; saying and doing so many crazy things that most women wouldn’t dare due in front of their friends let alone her boyfriend.  It was carefree spirit that made me think that if she were a real person, she would be fun to hang around with.

Kline was driven and ambitious, yet as a reader I saw much more of his sweet and caring side.  Although he was described to be a billionaire, he never spoke about money or showed that he had any, nor was he a workaholic.  Instead he spent all of his time with Georgia, not working much if you know what I mean.  He was sexy and charming but I felt that the story was just too unbelievable to really sink my teeth into.

I know that when reading romance fiction you have to take all books and their story lines with a grain of salt.  While entertaining, I felt that this book hit every clichéd check-mark on what popular culture views romance writing to be.  As a reader and a fan of the genre - I just wanted more.

As Always, Happy Reading!
