Taking The Score by Kate Meader Review
4.5 Smooches
Synopsis
His office temptation is now his full-blown fantasy…
Paying down her sister’s debts has left Emma Strickland with little more than the thrift store suit on her back. And as if the suckfest couldn’t get worse, she’s forced to moonlight as a waitress to support herself and her cat. At a strip club. Her uptight, sexy-as-hell boss Brody Kane can never find out.
Texas property tycoon Brody Kane hired Emma for her spreadsheet skills, but her prim and proper demeanor sealed the deal. There’s no room in his life for a sexy distraction … and yet, he can’t stop lusting after the delicious Ms. Strickland. And then he takes an important client to a Chicago strip club and gets the worst lap dance in adult entertainment history. From Emma.
Now that he knows his office good girl has a naughty streak, Brody makes it his mission to uncover her secrets, one steamy, illicit, over-the-desk encounter at a time. But Emma is hiding more than her side job, and her final secret could end up destroying them both.
Review
“You’ve had your hands on my ass and I ground my lady lips into your dick. I think you can call me Emma.”
I put this advance copy on kindle with the intention of reading it a lot closer to the release date . . . and then I read that blurb and could not hold out. Emma is the organized and repressed assistant to Brody and she is safe. With her dowdy clothes and business only attitude there is no way he will cross the line with this assistant . . .and yet she still occupies a lot of his thoughts, especially when he is alone (if you get what I mean.) You can imagine his surprise when he is entertaining a somewhat sleazy client at a strip club and the sexy as hell dancer to walk into the room is none other that his up tight assistant. Now all bets are off!
“You don’t know me, Mr. Kane. PA by day, T & A by night.”
Brody and Emma’s story is erotic and fun and was just the right way to spend a Friday night. While nothing can come easy the chemistry between them is never hard. Emma fights between being the person she wants to be and doing what is necessary to keep those she loves safe. I admired her determination and conviction. She never lets anyone put her down and she is so incredibly strong willed she won’t even let the millionaire man she is sleeping with get her out of a bad situation. Brody was so incredibly sweet and attentive, even if he at times oversteps the lines she drew to do what he thinks is right.
‘So what if the man could yield orgasms with a steely-eyed look through those sex-nerd glasses. Orgasms were a dime a dozen. Well-paying, respectable jobs were thinner on the ground.’
Together Brody and Emma have an intensity that explodes off the page and you will find yourself falling in love with these two mismatched people. Kate’s writing is fast paced and light when needed but trust me that there is plenty of action and drama to keep the story constantly moving. I loved this book and hope you all do too!
