Phantom’s more than a little rough around the edges, but his daughters keep him humble and on his toes. When his ex-wife ditches the girls and skips out on the bill, Phantom’s called in to set things right. The last thing he expects to find at the hair salon is a woman who makes his heart skip a beat. She’s beautiful and more than anything, she’s kind and treats his girls better than his ex-wife ever has in their short lives.

Poppy’s a single mother, juggling a business with little time for herself. After the death of her husband, she’s left to pick up the pieces and keep their lives running smoothly. She’s almost worn out when a handsome biker, flashing a killer smile and rippling muscles, does everything he can to sweep her off her feet.

And the sexy motorcycle man doesn’t like taking no for an answer, leaving Poppy’s head spinning and her heart beating a little stronger than it ever has before.

Phantom’s Healing is the story of two broken souls who find love and redemption in each other’s arms along with a happily ever after.

 

She had him from hello! Tough guy and MC prez Phantom typically only melts at the hands of his two teen daughters, but there’s just something about Poppy that has him the second he lays eyes on her. I loved the meet cute between her and his kiddos and then him too. There was angst and drama, but there was an equal amount of sweet innocence with their kids and a sensual love story for them. The characters were fairly well developed, although I felt like we could have seen more of the MC brotherhood for sure other than just when tension was high. The plot had good follow through with only a small hole or two. Overall a very satisfying and entertaining story. I can’t wait for more to come in the series!

I highly recommend this book as well as the first one in the series to anyone that enjoys a laid back MC with brothers that are there to help and there to party as each one finds their one to settle down with.

Leo Watson needs a pretend wife for a business Christmas party.

Could the cute barista who serves his favorite coffee drink play the part?

Camille Hendricks is willing… for a price—an interview at his sister’s PR company.

The game seems easy but their attraction is all too real.

When sexy lines are crossed, both Leo and Cammie stand to lose something more important than business.

They risk losing each other.

 

A delightful holiday dip into The Sterling family series! Fast paced and novella length, this fake dating turned all too real story is sure to please and is an easy read even if not previously familiar with the series. There’s an attention grabbing draw between the characters that is fun to watch and the holiday backdrop is really heartwarming. I of course wanted more of them because a novella just can’t dig as deep as a full length book, but I enjoyed the characters a lot, felt they were well developed and the plot was sweet, sexy and addictive all at the same time. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a sexy jaunt for the holidays that won’t interfere with your shopping, wrapping and baking!
