Synopsis
From New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken.
Reid Emory has never had reason to question his luck with the ladies.

The actor is in need of some help, and there’s only one person he can trust to take his love life—and his career—to an explosive new level.

But when a publicity stunt backfires, she suddenly finds herself thrust into the spotlight—as Reid’s new love interest. And while other men usually overlook her, Reid is focusing in with laserlike intensity. There’s no denying they have serious chemistry.
But once Reid breaks into the big time, can they turn their made-for-the-media romance into a forever love?

Excerpt
Jordan’s body responded to my every single touch and caress.
“Now I know why you’ve never had to ask a girl on a date.” She hooked her legs around me and wrapped her arms around my neck, her tongue intertwining with mine, sucking, so. Damn. Hard that I couldn’t help but keep moaning. The things that woman could do with her mouth.
I deepened the kiss, my hands reaching for the clasp of her bra. I flicked it off. Jordan immediately froze. Her hands quickly covered her breasts.
“What are you doing?” I tried prying her hands free.
“Too fast.” She nodded, her cheeks staining with color. “You know for our, uh, date night.”
“Move your hands.”
“No.”
“Jordan.”
“Reid.” She laughed nervously.
“Fine.” I nodded. “I didn’t want to have to do this.”
Jordan frowned.
I raised my hand.
She frowned harder.
I flipped her onto her stomach and slapped her ass. Hard.
“What are you doing?” she yelled.
“Why, sweetheart . . .” I kissed her ear. “I’m taming.”
“The hell you are!”
“You like it.” Another swat. “And I’m barely spanking you, but a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. Cover them up again and I won’t be responsible for my actions.”
“But—”
I flipped her back around. “But what?” I honestly wanted to know why a girl that gorgeous would cover up.
“It’s just that—” Jordan chewed her lower lip. “I’m the lights-off girl.”
“Lights off?”
“Yeah.” She shrugged a shoulder as more color stained her cheeks. “You know, the girl you don’t really notice right away until you’ve had one too many, then you take her home and have your way with her—in the dark.”
Horrified, I could only stare in shock. “Please tell me that hasn’t actually happened.”
“Reid.” She shoved me away and started to get to her feet. “Look, I’m not stupid, okay? And I’m not even that insecure anymore. I know how guys think, all right?”
“Oh, yeah?” I stood, pulled her flush against my very hard body. “What am I thinking about right now?”
“ESPN?”
“Damn.”
Her shoulders deflated. “See?”
I burst out laughing. “Honey, we have a pretty big problem if ESPN gets me this excited, don’t you think?”
“Hey, sometimes baseball just does it for people.” She gave me a sexy-as-hell smile. “It’s not your fault you like balls.”
“I can’t believe you just challenged my manhood when it’s saluting you like that. Damn, woman, I’m basically giving you the equivalent of a high five and a home run all in one and you’re making jokes?”

Michel’s Review
Now starring in the Hollywood blockbuster “Taming of the Shrew” the one and only Hollywood heartthrob… Reid Emory.
Reid Emory has lost his magic touch since his traumatic encounter with an eighty six year old gun toting granny, the vampira bride, and sugar free gummy bears. It’s enough trauma to make any healthy red blooded male develop hives when he smells bengay or sees gummies in his ice cream sundae. It all happened when his brother Max enlisted his help. Sure he made three great new friends but he also lost his mojo. Now he’s suffering Max PTSD and runs for cover when the early bird special crowd hits his favorite restaurant. He’s at the brink of making it big in Hollywood. But how can he be a heartthrob when he’s lost his mojo. The patented Reid “look” is no longer working and he’s beginning to lose his confidence. His loyal, dedicated, little brother has decided it’s time to take matters into his own hands. He’s going to help Reid become the heartthrob he was meant to be.
Let the Maxcapades begin!
First up… find a shrew to tame.
Second… prove to the world you have the magic touch to tame a shrew.
Third…get back in the Reid saddle and conquer all the shrews.
How?
Apply within…
Jordan Litwright has been hired as Reid Emory’s publicist. This upcoming Hollywood star’s image should be a piece of cake. What began as an easy client has turned into a publicist nightmare. When the “Shrew” stunt blows up, Jordan has to get it under control fast. Her career depends on it. Reid’s career depends on it. The only thing to fix it is to become the Shrew.
Reid and Jordan are playing the roles. The publicity is soaring. Somewhere the roles were reversed and Jordan is taming Reid.
A wild trip to Los Vegas, a very meddling Max, and an adorable Shih Tzu named Otis are going to help Reid and Jordan find their inner shrews. They are going to find the only thing that brings Reid’s mojo back is Jordan’s heart. Let the Maxcapades begin!
Once again Rachel Van Dyken delivered a rip roaring, hysterical romantic comedy that had me laughing my butt off. The Consequence Series is a delightful and refreshing romantic series that showcases love, friendship, and quirky families. Next up on deck is Milo’s klutzy, lovable almost bridegroom brother, Jason. I can’t wait to see what Mr. Cupid Max has in store for this guy. Hopefully it will be minus trips to the emergency room.
Read The Consequence of Seduction. It’s guaranteed to tickle your funny bone and make your heart race!

The Consequence of Loving Colton- Book 1
It’s all fun and games…until someone’s heart is broken.
They’re not kids anymore, but Milo Caro is certain that Colton Mathews will only see her as his best friend’s little sister for the rest of their lives. After all, he made that clear the night before she left for college. But four years later, her brother is getting married and Colt’s the best man—and guess who is the best man’s last-minute date?
Milo vows to use the wedding to either claim the smoldering firefighter’s heart or douse this torch for good. When Max—her best friend from college, who may be carrying a torch of his own—crashes the party, they devise a plan to make Colt see what he’s missing. But after Colt catches on, he decides to cook up his own revenge.
Now it’s personal. Colt and Milo are at war, and between Max’s questionable acting methods, an unfortunate trip to jail, and a maniacal fiancée, what could possibly go right?

the reality series Love Island. And between his pride and his forged signature
on an ironclad contract, Max just can’t say no.
Now he’s stranded in paradise with twenty-four women, oneterrifying goat, and Becca, the breathtaking barista who already turned him down back home. The closer Max gets to Becca, the more determined he becomes to win her over. As she gets to know him better, things start heating up. But is Becca really after Max’s heart—or is she after the cash prize she could claim once the cameras stop rolling?
