The Design by R.S. Grey Review

By Miranda Arnold in 5 Smooches, Reviews

5 Smooches

Synopsis

Five minutes until the interview begins.

Fresh on the heels of her college graduation, Cameron Heart has landed an interview at a prestigious architecture firm.

Four minutes until the interview.

She knows she’s only there because the owner, Grayson Cole, is her older sister’s friend.

Three minutes.

For the last seven years, Grayson has been the most intimidating man Cammie has ever had the pleasure, or displeasure, of being around.

Two Minutes.

But the job opportunity is too good to pass up. So, Cammie will have to ignore the fact that Grayson is handsome enough to have his own national holiday.

One.

After all, she shouldn’t feel that way about her new boss. And, he will be her new boss.
…

“I’m not scared of you,” I said with a confident smile.
“Perhaps we should fix that, Ms. Heart. Close the door.”

**This book is a STANDALONE. It follows two side characters from The Duet, but every detail you need to know will be included.**

Review

Getting an early copy of The Design by R.S. Grey for me is like looking in the freezer and finding out someone has bought you your favorite flavor of ice-cream, utter bliss! From the moment I read my first R.S. Grey book I knew she would be one of my favorite authors. I have a soft spot for smart humor and a swoony hero and these are two things she does very well.

“Greatest weakness? My inability to settle for anything less than what I deserve. I’m stubborn and persistent. The honest answer? My inability to overcome my schoolgirl crush on you even though you are a self-righteous ass. I would NOT be giving him the honest answer.”

Greyson Cole has been the man Cammie Heart has desired since she first met him when she was a senior in high school, but being six tears younger and not even on his radar she has always know what she feels for him will just be a crush. Now out of school and applying for a job at his architectural firm, Cammie must face the man she has lusted after for years, the man who has treated her like she doesn’t exist in his world, the man that holds the keys to her future.

“I had two choices: I cold give up my little crush on Grayson, just move on, and forget about the idea of being with him, OR I could make sure that I was dresses to kill during our dinner on Friday and put up a real fight. I liked option two far more. After all, I wasn’t a quitter.”

Greyson Cole has secrets too and when Cammie finds out she decides to use those to make her last few months in LA memorable. Soon, Cammie will be taking off to prove to herself that she can stand on her own two feet. But can the man she has wanted since she was just a little girl stand in the way of the plans she has made for herself?

“I needed to step up my game. Maybe Brooklyn had a push up bra I could steal. Yeah, that was a good idea. Step one: blind him with my boobs.”

Greyson is successful, determined and an ass. He ignores Cammie and treats her like a child, all the while fighting his urge to devour her. What is it about men in books acting like assholes that makes me so happy. Maybe I just like to see them come around for the right girl. Greyson and Cammie walk a fine line between right and wrong. Between their age difference, him being a good friend of her sister, her leaving for Paris soon and then there is the fact that he is her BOSS!! So much is fighting against these two and yet when they are together it all feels right.

“That kiss . . . That kiss was everything.”

While Greyson made this book for me, I do have to say seeing Cammie and Brooklyn together again was so much fun. The banter between sisters threatened to steal the show and who knew that Jason could be so witty and charming. Brooklyn and Cammie certainly brought the humor to this book.

“Yeah, we get it. Two pop stars fell in love while riding horses and eating cow pies. Boooring. You guys are lie a Lifetime movie where the moral is ‘be attractive'”

For me personally, The Design is one of the best books that R.S. Grey has written. The characters were complex and charming and the story gripping. I quickly became emotionally involved and took very personally anything that got in the way of the happiness of these two. To say I became attached might be an understatement. R.S. Grey has a true talent for being able to pull so many emotions from her readers, one minute I would be laughing my head off and the next close to tears.

“You’re walking home? It’s eleven at night.” “Don’t worry, I have ice cream and chopsticks.”

I don’t know what future books R.S. Grey has planned but I can tell you I, for one, will be reading them.

Prologue:

Prologue

Max

Well, well, well. What do we have here?

I spotted a woman standing in front of her car a few spots from mine in the parking lot. Her head in her hands, she stared at the front of her vehicle. I just finished my meeting and really wanted to go back home, but I couldn’t leave a woman stranded in the heat.

Not with a clear conscience.

And not with an ass like that.

“Somethin’ wrong?” I asked, shutting my truck door behind me and walking slowly towards the brunette.

She turned her head and a smile slowly spread across her pretty face. She stood, wiping her hands down the sides of her green workout shorts. Her body was lean and tight and I wanted to run my hands all over it.

She was little as hell, probably a good foot shorter than my 6’2” frame. Her tight white tank top showcased her breasts in the best way possible. Her hair was piled on top of her head, strands sticking to the back of her neck.

Her smile grew wider as I made my way across the parking lot. Sweat dotted her smooth, tanned skin and she wiped her brow with the back of one hand.

The beauty raised her eyebrows, her green eyes lighting up. “My car won’t start.” She ran her gaze down my body, making little effort to conceal the fact that she liked what she saw.

That makes two of us.

I flashed her a smile and cleared my throat. I needed to focus, but that was easier said than done. The last thing I wanted to do was come across like Cane, my friend with no couth.

“What seems to be the problem?” I unlatched the hood and raised it open.

“I turned the key and got nothing but a buzzing sound,” she huffed, crossing her arms in front of her.

I looked up, the movement catching my attention, and my gaze landed right on her chest.

“What are you looking at?” she asked cheekily.

“Nothin’ you shouldn’t be proud of.” I blew out a breath and laughed.

She giggled and I immediately wanted to hear it again. I wanted to make her giggle, to see that smile, over and over.

Trying to put some distance between us, I made my way to the side of the car. I felt her eyes on me, the smell of her coconut perfume messing with my mind. I needed to focus on the task at hand and not on the thing I wanted to be handling.

Damn, I’d love to handle that little body.

I checked the battery and saw the problem right away. I tightened the loose cable and checked the other before standing back up. I leaned against the car and folded my hands in front of me. I had to figure out how to play this to my advantage. My mind raced through possibilities and I shot her a serious look.

“This is just my luck,” she said, reading way too much into my expression. “And I thought this week couldn’t get any worse.”

“Wanna talk about it?” I grinned, watching her cute-as-hell act. I didn’t know what her week had been like, but I knew I was more than willing to take her mind off of it for a couple of hours.

“So you’re a mechanic and a counselor?”

“I can be whatever you want me to be.”

Her mouth twisted in amusement, her eyes lighting up. “Is that so? You’re a jack-of-all trades then, Mr.—”

“I’m Max Quinn, the man that can service any and all of your needs.”

She laughed, her cheeks blushing. “Okay, Max. The first need I have is getting this car running.”

“The first need, huh? Does that imply that there may be more needs that require my services?”

She pressed her lips together, obviously enjoying the innuendos. “It’s a possibility. You know how things go—you take care of one thing and then suddenly something else, you know, pops up.”

“Pops up? Interesting choice of words…”

She laughed again, tossing her head back. Drops of sweat rolled down her neck and it took everything I had to not leap across the car, throw her over my shoulder, and into the back of my truck. I could imagine that little body wrapped around mine, that giggle piercing the air as I had my way with her.

“If I can get this car running, and that’s a big ‘if’, what do you think is a fair price for my time and effort?”

I figured I’d give her a chance to either play along or opt out. As much as I’d like to get to know this little beauty, I wasn’t going to press myself. It wasn’t my style.

“I’m not sure,” she smiled. “What are you thinking?”

“Well, I don’t really have anything else to do today. But it could take hours.”

“Really?” She looked alarmed. “I don’t want you—”

“It might take minutes,” I cut her off, shrugging.

She tossed me a flirty smile, one hand on her narrow hip. “Are you sure you’re up for the challenge?”

“Ah, sweetheart. You have no idea.”

Biting her bottom lip, her eyes sparkling, she ran a hand down the side of her neck. She knew exactly what she was doing to me. “Fair enough. What’s it going to cost me?”

“It’s going to cost you two things.” I tapped my fingers against the hood of the car and waited for her response.

“Two things?” She sighed dramatically, rolling her eyes for effect. “Well, my options seem pretty limited, so let’s hear it.”

“The first thing is your name. Only seems fair that I know whose car I’m fixin’.”

The gorgeous girl in front of me cocked her head to the side. She was smarter than I gave her credit for. I knew she was attracted to me and I knew she’d give me her name, but she was smart enough to consider it first.

“Kari Stanley,” she said finally.

“Alright, Kari Stanley. The second thing you need to do before I fix your car is say yes.”

“Say yes?”

“Say yes to having dinner with me tonight. I think that’s totally fair. If I get this fixed, the least you can do is share a meal with me.”

She pretended to consider my proposal, her tongue darting out to lick her bottom lip.

“How do I know you’re not a serial killer?” she asked playfully.

I grinned mischievously. “I never said I didn’t bite.”

Her jaw dropped. She started to speak but nothing came out but another laugh.

“But I promise you’d like it if I did.” I narrowed my eyes, fighting the grin on my face, too.

She looked shocked for a split second and then regained her composure, trying to play it cool. “Okay. If you can get this started, I’ll go to dinner with you. But I have to say—I’m a little disappointed in your creativity. For some reason, I expected you to want more than a meal.”

I tossed her the keys and a wink. “Don’t be. You don’t know what all dinner entails.”

She caught her key ring with a grin. “Fair enough.”

“It’ll be better than fair, I promise. Now quit wastin’ time and use those,” I said, nodding to the keys in the palm of her hand.

“What do you want me to do with them?”

“I want you to start the car.”

She stared at me blankly. “What part of ‘this car doesn’t start’ don’t you understand?”

“What part of ‘start the damn car’ don’t you understand?”

She eyed me curiously before climbing into the driver’s seat. A look of disbelief crossed her face as the engine roared to life. “What the…”

I shut the hood of her car.

“Meet me at Maisano’s on Scottsdale Road at six, sweetheart.”

“Wait. How did you…”

I laughed, starting towards my truck. “Maisano’s at six—be there.”

Dove Glitch is embarrassed about everything above her knees and below her belly button. When she has to fill a delicate, embarrassing prescription the last thing she needs is a sexy-as-hell (and brand spanking new) pharmacist behind the counter.

Johnson Fitzwell’s first day of his dream career also happens to coincide with the exact moment Dove needs her feminine meds filled. His glorious voice is way too loud–as in, he should be counting down the hits with Ryan Seacrest kind of loud. Thanks to Johnson’s handsome face and gorgeous jaw line, Dove dives headlong into her waking nightmare and asks for a vagina-scented cream.

How could she not fall for him? Dove’s only active goal now is to get Johnson to kiss her right on the lips. Either set. However, his horrible girlfriend is one of many obstacles preventing her from making that fantasy a reality. When Dove defends Johnson in the most unhygienic, unconventionally gross way in the middle of a crowded restaurant, their tender, slightly tantric relationship is off to a galloping, farting start.

Each print copy of this book will be dipped in holy water by my mom, and glared at by my father as he purses his lips. Neither will help. So, drop your pants and turn to the left and cough. I hope you’re not allergic to latex, because it’s time to fill your prescription. Anally.

Oh God. We’re talking about me being naked,

in the shower with cooter cream. Please world, end. Kill me.

“I know

it’s not soap. I just… if it’s scented… I can’t do scented. Flowers and stuff

like that. Fruit-flavored soaps make… things… burnish.” She could tell from the

peeks at his face Mr. Fitzwell had never stepped foot in bath and lotion store,

wanting to try the array of fun fragrances. Nor had he purchased Peppermint

Candy shower gel, foamed up his nether regions, and felt like he had dipped

them in lava. Dove crossed and uncrossed her legs at the memory.

Mr.

Fitzwell seemed concerned. “Okay, just a heads-up. It’s definitely not good to

put any fruits or plant life near your genitals.” He made a V with his hands

and formed his own pretend vagina in front of his pants.

Dove

covered her eyes and tried to defend herself because now she could hear the

sickly older woman beating her supporters with a purse.

Dove’s

mumbling got louder with her embarrassment. “I don’t put weird things down…

there. Just make sure that the cream’s vagina-scented. Just plain. For

vaginas.” She kept her eyes on the counter.

–>

There are a lot of eyes in Debra

Anastasia’s house in Maryland. First, her own creepy peepers are there, staring

at her computer screen. She’s made two more sets of eyes with her body, and the

kids they belong to are amazing. The poor husband is still looking at her after

17 years of marriage. At least he likes to laugh. Then the freaking dogs are

looking at her—six eyeballs altogether, though the old dog is blind. And the

cat watches her too, mostly while knocking stuff off the counter and doing that

internal kitty laugh when Deb can’t catch the items fast enough.
Debra has a smattering of books in a

few genres. There are two in the Seraphim Series and three in the Poughkeepsie

Brotherhood Series with a prequel, Poughkeepsie Begins in the near future. Fire

Down Below is the first in the comedic Gynzaule Series. The second, Fire in the

Hole, will be published in late 2015. The Revenger, a dark paranormal romance

will debut this summer. And last, a novella called Late Night with Andres is

special because 100% of the proceeds go to breast cancer research. (So go get

it right now, please!) You can find her at DebraAnastasia.com and on Twitter @Debra_Anastasia. But be

prepared…

Fire Down Below by Debra Anastacia Review

By Miranda Arnold in 4 Smooches, Reviews

4 Smooches

Synopsis

Review

“Her first UTI had snuck up on her like a hairy little kitten.”

So, It is the night before the book goes live and I am sitting here looking over my highlights and notes still dumbfounded as to what I am going to say and how I am going to rate this hot mess, train wreck of a romance novel (I say these things lovingly and mean them only in the sense that I feel the author purposefully wrote a book that is a hot fart mess.)

“His Adam’s apple was like his throat’s erection. Dominant.”

Part of me wants to be like I am a 32 year old romance loving mother of 3 and this book is clearly written for a horny 13 year old boy going through puberty. But the other part of me can admit to reading the book straight through, laughing out loud and forcing my co-blogger to talk endlessly with me about it, all of which point to a book that deserves a higher rating. So here I am torn between 3 I am too good for this high and mighty stars and 5 I can’t believe she said that and I peed my pants laughing stars. How about we call it 4 and move on!

“Bitch. Do you think we’ll get arrested or something if we go in there? Cause I don’t have time for that tonight.”

This is where I normally give a quick plot summary but seeing as how I am still unable to wrap my mind around this book how about I just type up some of my notes I had to myself while I was reading this book instead.

1. WOW, So there really is a lot of farting/potty talk in this book she was not exaggerating

2. It’s ironic that the main character’s name is Dove like the soap because I feel like I need a good cleaning now.

3. I must incorporate the phrase “Cock communist.” into my everyday life.

4. If Matt Stone and Trey Parker (creators of South Park) wrote a romance novel this would be it!

5. I need book two, what does that say about me as a person that I so desperately need book two.

6. I feel like something bad might have happened to Debra Anastasia as a child.

Those are just a few of the crazy (some incoherent) thoughts and notes I jotted down while reading.

“@Debra_Anastasia didn’t respond. She was probably masturbating thinking of writing her next sex scene.”

I enjoyed Dove and Johnson but the real stars of this book were the neighbors in her building. For all his grossness I completely grew to love Duke. He was oh so gross but a good friend and had many of the funniest moments of the book. I loved that Debra made herself the crazy smut writing author next door along with her husband. Debra and Mr. Anastasia were both hokey and a riot and I don’t know if she is insane for doing this or a pure genius. I. just. don’t. know. If you strip away all the pre-pubescent humor you will find a romance story under there and you will be rooting for Dove to get their HEA that every shy girl with a secret wild side deserves.

“I will hope for a stripper pussy of power.”

Fire Down Below is what it is, a hokey fart filled book that surprisingly has a romance story that this romance blogger can get behind. Did I love every minute of this book, honestly no but that is because fart talk makes me cringe and I have a horrible case of second hand embarrassment syndrome, wherein I feel so overwhelmingly embarrassed for these characters (often at times when they themselves did not,) But for the most part I was constantly giggling and always intrigued.

Alessandra Torre – Author Spotlight

By Miranda Arnold in Nancy Screw

A New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author, Alessandra Torre has written eight novels, four of which became #1 Erotic Bestsellers.

Her first book, Blindfolded Innocence, became a breakout hit, rising to the top of the charts on Kindle and Amazon where it attracted the interest of major publishing houses and garnered Torre her first print deal with Harlequin HQN. Less than twelve months later, Torre signed a second print deal, this time with Redhook (Hachette) for her erotic thriller The Girl in 6E.

From her home near the warm waters of the Emerald Coast in Florida, she devotes several hours each day to various writing projects and interacting with her fans on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Happily married and with one son, she loves watching SEC football games, horseback riding, reading and watching movies.

Sex. Love. Repeat.

Standalone

Synopsis:

I love two men. I screw two men. I am in a relationship with them both, and they are both aware there is another. That is all they need to know, that is all I let them know. They don’t need to know a name; they don’t need to know anything but that they are not alone in my heart.

They have accepted the situation. Stewart, because his life is too busy for the sort of obligations that are required in a relationship. Paul, because he loves me too much to tell me no. And because my sexual appetite is such that one man has trouble keeping up.

So we exist, two parallel relationships, each running their own course, with no need for intersection or conflict. It works for us, for them, and for me. I don’t expect it to be a long-term situation. I know there is an expiration date on the easy perfection of our lives.

I should have paid more attention, should have looked around and noticed the woman who watched it all. She sat in the background and waited, tried to figure me out. Saw my two relationships, the love between us, and the moment that it all fell apart.

She hates me.

I don’t even know she exists.

She loves them. I love them.

And they love me.

EVERYTHING else hangs in the balance.

The Girl in 6E

Synopsis:

I haven’t touched a human in three years. That seems like it would be a difficult task, but it’s not. Not anymore, thanks to the internet.

I am, quite possibly, the most popular recluse ever. Not many shut-ins have a 200-member fan club, a bank account in the seven-figure range, and hundreds of men lining up to pay for undivided attention.

They get satisfaction, I get a distraction. Their secret desires are nothing compared to why I hide… my lust for blood, my love of death.

Taking their money is easy. Keeping all these secrets… one is bound to escape.

What if you hid yourself away because all you could think of was killing? And what if one girl’s life depending on you venturing into society?

Enter a world of lies, thrills, fears, and all desires, in this original thriller from A. R. Torre.

The Trouble With Sexy

By: Codi Gary

Releasing February 10, 2015

Avon Impulse

Blurb

Fact: Ryan Ashton has never been the hottest girl in the room.

Prim and proper doesn’t really lend itself to sexy, but Ryan’s okay with that. She’s come to terms with her perpetual single status. Or at least she would have, if it weren’t for her deliciously gorgeous boss.

Fact: Gregg Phillips is sex on a stick.

And Ryan knows that if she wants him to sit up and take notice of her, she’s gotta take a chance … and ditch the frumpy librarian look she’s been rocking for way too long. It’s gonna take a whole new wardrobe and the help of the local sex kitten to make it happen, but Ryan’s up for it. After all, true love is worth the trouble—and that’s a fact.

Previously appeared in the anthology Kiss Me.

The Trouble With Sexy by Codi Gary Review

Fact: Gregg Phillips is sex on a stick.

Previously appeared in the anthology Kiss Me.

Review

“She didn’t have to act like she couldn’t wait to have him, because that was exactly what was making her slip her bra down her arms so eagerly.”

The Trouble With Sexy is a novella in the Rock Canyon Series and although can be a standalone it does take place before the first book in the series, Things Good Girls Don’t Do. I have read and loved each book in this series and this story was no different. Codi perfectly captures small town life along with giving us some super sexy men and women we can all relate to.

“Want to stay over at my place tonight?” “But I don’t have anything to sleep in,” “Who said we’re going to be sleeping?”

The Trouble With Sexy revolves around Ryan, pretty but modest girl who doesn’t think she is the sexiest girl around and her boss Gregg who she does find to be the sexiest man around. While Gregg has always been a bit into Ryan he has kept things professional and friendly except for one New Years Eve kiss (if only she was the only girl he had kissed that New Years Eve.) But now Ryan is sick of being dowdy and a wallflower and enlist the help of Gracie, a sexy and outgoing girl, to sex herself up. Along with her new makeover and confidence come more attention from the men around and that is not going to sit well for Gregg. Can he step up and claim what is his or will he continue to just be the boss she has been lusting after?

“The trouble with sexy is people have different tastes. Some guys like girls in flashy skimoy clothes with big hair and cowboy boots. Other guys think shy girls that are less obvious are more desirable. Some guys check out her body and others look at her face. It’s all about personal preference.” “What kind of girls do you like?”

The thing that I love about Codi’s characters is that they are all flawed. None of the people in her books are perfect, not perfect looking nor do they have all their crap together. They feel both real and relatable yet give us that love story we all yearn to dive into to. I highly recommend the entire Rock Canyon Series and think that this novella is a great place to start.

Meghan Quinn: Author Spotlight

By Miranda Arnold in Nancy Screw

Author Bio:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

The Virgin Romance Novelist

Releasing April 2nd | Standalone | Romantic Comedy

Synopsis:

Her bosom heaved at an alarming rate as his rough hand found its way down to her soft, yet wiry briar patch…

Can you say briar patch in a romance novel? What about meat sword? That’s what it is…a meat sword, right, all meaty and sword like, slaying through the inner dungeons of a woman’s dark desires. What about breasts? Do bosoms really heave?

God, I have no idea what happens when private parts touch.

I’m a virgin trying to write a romance novel and can’t seem to write past a sex scene thanks to my lack of experience.

My two best friends encourage me to drop the pen for a while and gain some real life practice through multiple dating facets such as blind dates, online profiles, and random hookups.

But losing my virginity is proving to be tougher than expected…

Toxic (Addiction Series Book 1)

Synopsis:

“You’re an addiction I can’t overcome, no matter how hard I try.” – Rook Tyler

His life consists of his best friend, Jack Daniels, his favorite drug of choice and women. Rook Tyler lives for performing at night and wasting the rest of his days washing away the pain from his childhood so he doesn’t have to feel anything…ever. The only people he trusts are his band mates from Shattered Souls and he wants to keep it that way. His life was completely under control and simple until he heard the voice of Maisy Madison filter through The Tavern speakers.

Growing up in the foster care system with her two other band mates from Twisted Perfection, Maisy finds herself doing pretty much anything to get her and her band noticed but nothing seems to be working. One lucky night, Shattered Souls, the most popular band in the country, decides to show up at their little concert and luckily signs them on the spot. But the arena venues and massive amount of fans isn’t what has Maisy shaking in her heels. It’s the deep baritone voice of Rook Tyler that has haunted her dreams for years which has her wondering if she can actually go through with the tour.

The force is almost too strong. He can feel her everywhere he goes and no matter how much he tries to resist her, he finds himself gravitating towards Maisy, wanting to hold her, kiss her and touch her. He knows he shouldn’t get involved. He knows no matter what, he will end up hurting her but he can’t help it, his soul is connected to hers and the pull is too strong for him to resist.

Rook warned her time and time again but she doesn’t listen, she doesn’t want to listen. She needs him and she doesn’t care that she knows deep down in her heart that their relationship is going to end in disaster.She refuses to acknowledge that no matter what they do, their love is toxic.

Fame (Addiction #2)

Synopsis:

The moment you think everything is perfect in your life, it can all come tumbling down on top of you.

Shattered Souls hasn’t seen each other in months. Deception and ghosts from the past have torn them apart, leading them their separate ways. When they realize they need to solve their differences and get back together for the sake of the band, they can’t find their lead singer, Rook Tyler, who’s been missing for months.

Twisted Perfection is just coming off the high of yet another tour but this time, they weren’t riding the coat tails of Shattered Souls. Even though they’ve become more popular, all of the success from the last tour means nothing to Maisy as she continues to struggle daily from the loss of Rook.

Fame finds both of the bands but sometimes, it can be lonely at the top. Both bands realize if they want to succeed, they have to drop their differences and join together, but it’s never that easy. Lovers, drugs, people’s pasts and death get in the way, while they try to travel down the bumpy road toward fame.

Becoming a Jett Girl (Bourbon Series Book 1)

Synopsis:

How did I start the Lafayette Club?

Well, I’m in the business of saving tarnished souls. I hand pick girls from the street who have no options left in life and give them an opportunity they can’t possibly refuse.

They come to work in the Lafayette Club which is full of EXQUISITE DEBAUCHERY, where influential men come to conduct business and lap dances are considered a fine art.

The girls are trained, they are morphed, they are educated, they follow the rules of the club and they know to submit to me. They live by my motto, no relationships, no love, just sex.

They are never touched, only by me, they are never completely naked, only with me, and their personas are entirely anonymous. The only person who knows who they truly are, is me, Jett Colby.

If these girls were ever seen on the streets of New Orleans, you would never know they were a Jett Girl

Being a Jett Girl (Bourbon Series Book 2)

Synopsis:

How did I become a Jett Girl?

Hell if I know, one moment I’m working at the premiere spot for creepy men and sloppy drunks and the next, I’m being whisked away by a moody ex-boxer and a mysterious man in a suit that overlooks his girls from the third floor of the Lafayette Club.

It wasn’t easy but now that I’m a Jett Girl, there is only one thing on my mind and that is Jett Colby.

He has captured me, stolen my heart and entwined my soul into his at such an alarming rate that it seems almost difficult to breathe without him holding me, touching me, kissing me…

He won’t give me his heart though, he won’t let me own every last inch of him and not because he doesn’t want to, but because he doesn’t want to jeopardize my ambiguity.

Because of this, there is only one thing standing in my way when it comes to completely and utterly living my life with Jett Colby and it’s called Lot 17.
