Real estate mogul Eli Ward needs to keep a low profile on his new project. He’s expecting a fight from the somewhat eclectic folks currently living there.What he doesn’t expect is for that fight to be led by Brooke Worthington, the woman who rocked his world one unforgettable night. The one woman who doesn’t know who he is, which is a good thing. She just sees him as a regular guy. It’s refreshing.

Graphic designer and part-time bartender Brooke Worthington refuses to follow her family’s plan for her. She’s too busy building her artistic career. She doesn’t have time for relationships, either, especially with the super hot Eli, because she has to save the building she lives in with people she thinks of as her real family from some greedy real estate billionaire.

These two have secrets and chemistry that is nothing short of explosive.

 

A smokin’ hot one night stand leads to more than a casual hook-up when life’s circumstances bring them together again! The characters are a lot of fun, their supporting cast cracks us up on more than one occasion, and the sweet romance they manage to mix-up during all of their turmoil is something to behold! Really enjoyed this story!

Bartender Brooke Worthington thinks it’s her lucky day when a hot sexy suit shows up in her bar just before closing time. She hasn’t been dating much lately because she’s busy working at the bar as well as on her graphic novel, but she’s happy to break her sexual dry spell with this stud! She certainly doesn’t expect to see him pop up at a neighborhood meeting in the very building she lives in a few days later!

Real estate mogul Eli Ward is working on the sly to figure out what’s going on at his company, but after Brooke mentioned the night they met that the neighborhood is doing well, he decided to buy and tear down a building to replace it with luxury condos. How was he to know it was where the hottie from the bar lived?? As he casually hangs out with Brooke and her friends, his life actually starts to meld well with hers and he wonders if he can do anything differently with this project that will save the great people in this building from being thrown out on the street. When his secret gets out, will their growing relationship be over?

Davis: I’ve had my eye on Grace Buchanan for a while now. Unlike the bubbly blondes I usually date, the feisty, flame-haired bartender both intrigues and bewilders me. Something about Grace—the tattoos? the nose ring?—makes every part of me sit up and beg. There’s only one problem: She hates me. Trading insults and one-liners has become our M.O. But when Grace bets me that I can’t get a date with a non-blonde if my life depends on it, I’m determined to prove her wrong by landing the ultimate non-blonde: her.

Grace: I’m used to regulars hitting on me, and I’ve turned them all down, except for one: Davis Price. I like giving him a hard time, and he’s kind of cute in his suit and tie—if you’re into that kind of thing. Anyway, I don’t care how many blondes he takes home . . . until one of them sidles up to him in my bar. Nuh-uh. But after my little bet with Davis backfires, our first date lands us in the sack. So does the second. And the third. Neither of us wants more than the best sex of our lives. The trouble is, it’s not a question of what I want. It’s what I need. And what I need is Davis.

 

Delectably tantalizing! She’s a feisty give-as-good-as-she-gets bartender, he’s an uptight Wallstreet type of guy who goes through women like water. Together, they’re pretty amazing! I enjoyed the first book in the series, but Davis and Gracie … they’re pretty special and made me love book two even more than book one! Can’t wait to see what Jessica Lemmon has in store for us with the next one!

Davis Price spends a lot of time at his favorite hangout, McGreevy’s Pub, and one of the reasons is how much fun he has flirting and being shot down over and over by the bartender. She’s a smokin’ hot red-head, but he’s only into blondes these days.

Grace Buchanon pegged Davis as a player the first time she saw him take one of his petite blondes home from the bar. He might flirt with her, but it’s all innocent fun. He’s not interested in her. She’s not petite, she’s not blonde, and she won’t sit meekly and bat her eyelashes like his flavor of the night always does!

When a bet turns upside down, Davis and Grace actually agree to go out with each other … one date, and hot night of sex turns into another … and another … and another!

What do you do when you have not just one hot boss, but two? And they both want you?

What will it take to make her theirs?

Bayli Styles leaves California wine country behind for the bright lights of New York City, in search of fame and fortune. However, fame and fortune are a little further out of reach than she had hoped, so to supplement her meager modeling income, she seeks a hostess position at Manhattan’s hottest new venue, owned by billionaires Rory St. James and Christian Davila. Bayli gets much more than she bargained for when both devastatingly handsome and magnetic men make her blood sizzle…and offer her the guiltiest of all pleasures—themselves.

Bayli is the perfect solution to the two problems currently plaguing entrepreneurs Rory and Christian, professionally and sexually. She’d make the ultimate “face” for their current joint venture, but both men are thinking beyond business and waste no time seducing Bayli into their brand of double pleasure. In the end, the threesome will put it all on the line—their bodies, their hearts, their souls—either destined for failure, or for the redefinition of true love.

This is a standalone ménage romance with an HEA by Calista Fox. (Book 2 in the Lover’s Triangle Series)

 

Another sinfully sexy menage in the Lover’s Triangle series from Calista Fox! She knows how to wrap our attention around the core characters and then turn on the heat when they begin to devour each other with undeniable passion. Always hot, always a meaningful connection, always leaves us yearning for the next book!

Bayli Styles is ready to take the world by storm as she strikes out on a new chapter in her life in New York City! She’s hoping to get a leg up on her modeling career by getting a prestigious job as hostess at the latest and greatest restaurant being opened by billionaires Christian Davila and celeb chef Rory St. James.

Virtual fireworks explode in the air around them when she first meets sexy Rory St. James. He’s hot headed, he’s passionate, and she’s not totally sure that giving as good as she gets in the attitude department is the best approach. Little does she know that he wouldn’t find her nearly as intriguing if she bowed meekly at his feet!

When Christian and Rory both agree that Bayli is the perfect face for the undercover project they have in the works, they set out to woo her into accepting. They all have to figure out if they can make it work along the way though because none of them are going to deny themselves the sensual pleasure of being intimate beforehand!

Now she’s walking into his life again temporarily, and he’s not sure how he’s going to be able to stand to be in such close proximity of her again … when she’s not his anymore. Loved the trip back to Hope Falls! A solid reunited love story building from several characters we’ve met in previous books in the series.

EXCERPT:

How exactly did he manage to look like sex on a stick at the end of a long day? He had this whole badass look going on, late-afternoon scruffiness over his jawline, making her want to rub against him like a cat.

Bad, bad Carly. “I wanted to talk to you about something anyway.”

 “Oh, yeah. I haven’t had a whole lot of luck finding another sitter. I’ll make a few calls tonight.” He followed her into the family room.

“That’s not it. I need a favor.”

“Done.”

“You don’t even know what it is yet.”

He gave her an easy smile. “Doesn’t matter.”

“Be careful, Levi Lambert. You never know what I might ask.”

“Bring it on.” His eyes filled with obvious male appreciation.

She was reminded of her bare legs. The look he slid her was so full of heat that she thought her panties might spontaneously burst into flames. Focus, Carly, focus.

“I want to put photos of Grace on my website. I took some cute ones today.” She took her phone out and showed them to him. Shots of Grace staring with delight at a tree as if she’d just discovered them. Smiling as she watched a child playing ball, staring wide-eyed at a woman walking her poodle down the street.

“You took her to the park. She loves it there.” Levi didn’t take the phone from her, but instead held her wrist and brought the phone up closer.

Her stupid wrist tingled as if it thought it might be about to have a good time. She cleared her throat. “I know. Just look at this one. I think she noticed a cloud for the first time.”

He grinned, still holding her wrist. “Nah, she saw one last week.”

“Right. So…is it okay if I put her photos up? She’s an adorable baby.”

“Fine with me.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll never share her real name with my readers. And no one has any idea that the company is based in Fortune. My mother took great precautions to protect our privacy.”

“I trust you.” His big, rough hand slid from her wrist to her elbow, and the tingle traveled.

“Thank you.” She stared at his lips, willing him to kiss her. “The trust is…important.”

“Extremely.”

That talented hand now settled on her waist and pulled her closer. And somehow her hands were squeezing his biceps and she went up on the balls of her feet to get closer still. He kissed her long and deep, his hot, wet tongue insistent. It got wild and crazy as her hands fisted his shirt and his hands palmed her ass.

“Levi.” She broke off from the kiss, breathless. “We probably shouldn’t do this. It’s not…a good idea.”

He pressed his forehead to hers. “You’re right.”

Great. He agreed with her. “It’s stupid.”

“Yeah.” He tugged her in tighter and kissed her again. And again.

She threaded her fingers through his hair and moaned into his mouth.

And they continued to be crazy stupid for the next hour.
