Who knew my brother’s friend could be Mr. Right, and not just Mr. Right Now?
My brother refused to introduce me, so I blame him. If he’d just caved, and introduced me to Jasper, I wouldn’t be in this mess. I mean, really, what’s the big deal? I’m not interested in the guy’s looks.
Oh no, I want his cold hard cash. (Be honest, you were expecting that other four letter ‘c’ word weren’t you?)
Now, before you go getting all judgy, I’m not a gold digger. I have a legitimate business opportunity for Jasper to invest in. The problem is that my stick-up-his-ass brother is embarrassed that his twin sister invents kick ass sex toys. His problem, not mine.
So, I took matters into my own hands. Defeat isn’t a word in Lennon Hart’s dictionary.
Using my stealthy P.I. moves, I narrowed my search to a time and place where I knew I could find him. It was completely innocent. A chance meeting that would give me the opportunity to pitch my business.
It wasn’t until I sat down across from the gorgeous panty soaking man in front of me, that I realized I wanted so much more than just his money. I could very well want his heart if I wasn’t careful.
Apparently my P.I. skills aren’t as stellar as I thought because Jasper had his own secret—and it changed EVERYTHING.
What I love about Lennon and Jasper is that on the surface, they seem to be chalk and cheese. She is edgy and feisty, he is stoic and formal. And yet, when you go deeper, the two are absolutely perfect for each other. It is so wonderful to see a female character that is perfectly happy in her own skin. Lennon is comfortable with her sexuality and her character regardless of the fact that others judge her before knowing her. It is something she has grown up with and she expects but she certainly doesn't allow anyone to disrespect her and her choices. You can't help but respect her for that. And the first interaction between Lennon and Jasper is brilliant! I just love it.
Here is just one moment between Lennon and Jasper that I enjoyed:
"You aren't peeking, are you?" I joke and his fingers tighten on my waist.
"I don't spoil my surprises," he says in a low voice that I feel in all the right places.
Lennon's friends are a hoot and a half! Brilliant girls with cheeky personalities. The banter between them is fantastic. There are some fun and laugh out loud moments, some seriously awkward moments, and some tear jerking ones too. Not to mention lots of steamy ones as well ;) I really enjoyed this book. Great characters with fantastic personalities and a great story line.

We aren’t trying to stamp ourselves with a top-secret label. We wanted to write without apology. We wanted to not be pigeon holed into a specific outline. We wanted to give readers a story without them assuming how the story will flow. Everyone has their favorite authors, right? And when you pick up their books, you expect something from them. Whether it’s an alpha male, heavy angst, a happily ever after, there’s something you are absolutely certain the book will contain. Heck, we’re readers, too, we get it.
What can we tell you about ourselves? We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.
