Daire St. Denis

This book sinfully delicious as Daisy's pastries in her bakery. You know you are in for a fun, comedic, sexy joyride when the first opening scene involves Daisy stripped down to her Victoria's Secret underwear set and Jaime taking it all in strides. Then the next scene involves Daisy kneading dough. Jamie says "Your really letting that dough have it." Daisy replies "Some dough needs a gentle touch. Others need a good, hard spanking."

From here the story just gets better and better. There show more were many times when I found a smile on my face reading this book. The chemistry and witty banter between Daisy and Jaime was hot. I like that it was not all about the sex. The author kept the sex scenes to a minimum where they really mattered and felt natural, while keeping the rest of the story and the characters strong. I can't wait to read the next book, Big Sky Seduction which features Daisy's friend, Gloria. show less

I devoured this book. I loved the dynamic between Claire & Martin, and the changing dynamic between her and her husband. And then, there’s Martin’s wife…each character affects the story so strongly that to take one out…it might not work. Now, when you have a choice of things for Claire to do, that’s when it gets interesting. The dynamics shift even further.

Now, if you’re like me, you’ll go back and choose your second pick option after you’ve read through the first, just to show more see what’s different. (I did that with the Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was a kid, too.) I can't wait for more of these books :) show less

Becca Evans has always been labeled the plain sister. Her half-sister, Grace, has continually been the one in the spotlight; her trusting nature having landed her in a lot of trouble – mostly bad relationships with nasty guys. Consequently, Becca has morphed into protector and goes everywhere with Grace, always looking out for her. But Becca needs Grace to win the reality show they are on so she can get the prize show more money. Becca has an offer at a University and she doesn’t want to miss the opportunity at her dream job. When she ends up sitting next to Mr. Bachelor himself, she has to find out if he’s good enough for her sister. Additional recon won’t hurt her cause in helping her sister win the competition either. What blind-sides her is the crazy attraction she feels toward him.

Callum Price is not much of a willing participant in this farce of a reality show. His only reason for going along with the plan, is because he wants to take over the majority stock and buy up the island as an investment. When Becca lands in the seat next to him, he is annoyed by her questions, but ends up loosening up toward her – just as she too starts to loosen up after each mimosa she drinks. Before too long, he’s finding himself intrigued with the highly intelligent woman. She doesn’t take his crap and insults him right back. He’s used to people groveling – comes with the territory as a Billionaire – but Becca doesn’t seem to give a crap about his money. She challenges him and sparks his interest. Before too long, Callum is having some pretty scandalous thoughts regarding Ms. Evans. This reality show just might be fun after all.

Holy Moly! This is quite a descriptive book with crazy hot, sinfully stimulating scenes. The attraction between Callum and Becca is undeniable. I love when two people, who normally wouldn’t get together, end up in an unexpected relationship simply because fate stepped in and pushed them together. Sappy. Love it! I enjoyed learning about Callum and his background. He’s not all you’d expect from a Billionaire Playboy – he still remembers where he came from and while his drive to succeed is fierce, he doesn’t let his status change who he is. Becca is similar in the respect that she’s a freaking genius. While she could show off her talent, she keeps to herself and always lets her sister shine, but staying in the background also doubles as a protection mechanism. Before too long, her past comes back to threaten her future and Callum has to decide if the risk of her reputation being slung through the mud is worth their relationship. Not ready to label what it could be, they both struggle to come to terms with their feelings. Both Callum and Becca were a joy to spend time with. And that crazy hot sex? It was exactly that with little bits of light BDSM thrown in.
I didn’t really care for any of the secondary characters except Grace and another, later revealed as familial. He seems like he might have had an interesting story to explore. Grace, however, was a lot of fun. She is the ditzy, blonde sister, but is gifted with some great lines. If I had a half-sister, I’d want it to be Grace; exasperating qualities and all. I often wondered if we would discover that Grace was just as brilliant as Becca, but let her looks do the talking. Instead because she loves the attention. Sadly, that was not the case, but her character was just as entertaining. My only criticism was that, when a big jerk finally gets what he deserves, I felt like it was over too quick and could have been raked over the coals much longer. This is a first read by Ms. St. Denis and if this book is an adequate representation of her common writing style, it definitely won’t be my last. I found this book a quick read, entertaining, and erotic. But then, I’ve always had a soft spot for the genius wallflower who gets the guy. 😊

This book contains possibly objectionable content. It includes M/M/F and rough sex. It is explicit and I strongly recommend you avoid it if easily offended or less than fully open about sexuality.

With that said, I LOVE THIS book. The sex was hot, the characters hotter. The cowboys in this book will make any reader want to save some horses. There IS a story to the book as well, beyond the sex. It is a short read, and great for getting in the mood *wink, wink*
