Good Girl Gone BADD

The Badd Brothers Series – Book 4

By Jasinda Wilder

Synopsis

Evangeline du Maurier is the definition of a good girl. Attending Yale, raised with the best tutors and etiquette instructors, she’s expected to toe the family line and be a trophy wife for a future senator. But when this good girl takes a quick getaway to clear her head, she finds a whole lot more than she’d bargained for. She finds herself in the arms of a bad boy.

Baxter Badd.

Big, hard-drinking, and as rough and demanding in bed as he is out of it, Bax may be the baddest brother yet…

Michel’s Review

I can’t tell you what a relief it was to open Good Girl Gone Badd by Jasinda Wilder after reading her previous emotionally draining novel Long Way Home. This new delightful novel, the latest addition to the BADD Brothers series, was light hearted, fun, and red hot sexy! It was the sassy side of Jasinda shining throughout the pages with a whole lot of panty melting humor. The BADD Brothers philosophies have become my new mantra… work hard, play hard, and love even harder. Yup… I’m ready to hightail it to Ketichan, Alaska for some BADD life experiences.

Baxter “Basher” Badd is the in your face, brash brother. He’s known for his over the top crudeness and unfiltered mouth. He thrives on physical violence, heavy drinking, fast women, and unapologetic hookups. On the surface he comes across as a neanderthal but what most don’t see is a sensitive, highly intelligent, driven man dedicated to his family. His reputation in the underground fighting network as one of the deadliest fighters has left grown men shaking in their boots and women dropping their panties. It has his brothers rolling their eyes. Nothing seems to shake him until he rescues a damsel in distress, a good girl with a whole lot of innocence and insatiable need to be bad. Evangeline du Maurier is taking the Basher down one pelvic thrust at a time.

Eva (Evagaline) ran away from her privileged life for a bit of breathing room. She ended up in Ketchikan, Alaska at an underground fight. When she finds herself in a serious situation that is quickly heading into a rape scene, she’s rescued by by Bax. Bax being the good guy he is takes her home to the Badd Bar & Grill for refuge. There she meets the BADD clan in all their dirty mouthed, fun loving glory. Their easy going manner is something she craves just a much as she craves her sexy knight in tarnished armor. She has a few days of freedom at most and she intends to make every moment count.

Eva and Bax find their sexual escapades are more than fun and games. For the first time they have found someone who really sees what is below the surface. They find someone who sees their soul rather than all the wrappings that define their lives. Their time together is a race against the clock. Their time together is going to change everything they thought they were and make them want something more. It will be up to them (with a little push from seven meddling Badd brothers and three mouthy women) to define their destiny. Bax “Basher” Badd is facing the fight of a lifetime. Eva du Maurier has her own battles to win before she can pillage and plunder her Badd boy.

Once again Jasinda Wilder delivered another delightful story that has me researching trips to Alaska and searching FB hunting for a certain group page (read the book). She also tantalized the readers with a teaser of what is next in the BADD world. TWINS! DOUBLE THE TROUBLE…DOUBLE THE PLEASURE!

BADD MOTHERF*CKER

BADD BROTHERS SERIES – BOOK 1

BY JASINDA WILDER

BUY : AMAZON

SYNOPSIS:

Your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, right? That’s what they say, at least. I went into that day hoping I’d get the happiest day of my life. What I got? The worst. I mean, you really can’t get any worse of a day without someone actually dying.

So…I may have gotten just a little drunk, and maybe just a tad impetuous…

And landed myself in a dive bar somewhere in Alaska, alone, still in my wedding dress, half-wasted and heart-broken.

***

Eight brothers, one bar.

Sounds like the beginning to a bad joke, yeah?

I kinda think so.

Wanna hear another joke? A girl walks into a bar, soaking wet and wearing a wedding dress.

I knew I shouldn’t have touched her. She was hammered, for one thing, and heartbroken for another. I’ve chased enough tail to know better. That kinda thing only leads to clinginess, and a clingy female is the last thing on this earth I need.

I got a bar needs running, and only me to run it—at least until my seven wayward brothers decide to show their asses up…

Then this chick walks in, fine as hell, wearing a soaked wedding dress that leaves little enough to the imagination—and I’ve got a hell of an imagination.

I knew I shouldn’t have touched her. Not so much as a finger, not even innocently.

BADD Brother Series – Book 2

By Jasinda Wilder

Release Date: January 20, 2017

Buy: Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo / Google Play

Synopsis

I was a Sixty-Eight Whiskey—a combat medic. So when I hear someone shout “MEDIC!” training just kicks in. It’s automatic, immediate. I don’t think I even saw the guy whose leg I tended to, not really. All I saw was him. Zane Badd. His tuxedo fit him like he’d been sewn into it, and his eyes reflected the fury and the hardness of a combat veteran, but when he looked at me, he just…softened. By the time I had his brother patched, Zane and I were both covered in blood, and I knew I had to have him.

The trouble with Zane isn’t getting him, it’s keeping him.

And the trouble with me is, even if I could hold onto a man like Zane, I wouldn’t know what to do with him. It’s not in my nature, and if life has taught me anything, it’s to not trust anyone, least of all men like Zane. He’s a warrior through and through, hard, muscular, gorgeous, tenacious, and yet oddly tender toward me.

Experience and instincts are telling me to run from Zane Badd as fast as possible, but my heart and my body are telling me to stay, to hold on and not let go. Yeah, it’s a conflict as old as humanity itself, but it’s brand new for me.

* * *

Life as Navy SEAL doesn’t exactly prepare you for normality. Yeah, I can tend bar and goof off with my seven crazy brothers, but what do I do when the woman of my dreams—dreams I didn’t know I’d had until I saw her—explodes into my life like a frag grenade? I’m trained to attack, to win, to survive at any costs, and figuring out what to do about a woman like Amarantha Quinn will take every scrap of tenacity and courage I possess. Combat is easy, it turns out, in comparison to facing your own fears and scars.

And then sometimes, just when you think you’ve got it finally figured out, fate throws you a screwball and sends everything FUBAR.

Badd To The Bone

Add Brothers Series – Book 3

By Jasinda Wilder

Blurb

Brock Badd is everything except bad. He’s sexy, sweet, strong, and every other good thing I never thought I wanted in a man. I always thought I needed the real bad boys, the ones that screw you senseless and pull your hair and aren’t there to talk about it in the morning.

I’ve always been a one-night stand kind of girl, and sometimes I wouldn’t even stick around for a full night. Brock was supposed to be a one-night stand—that’s how it started out, at least. Only, what was supposed to be a fun one-time-only hookup with a hot local guy ended up with me discovering Brock’s potency six different ways by breakfast.

That was all it took. One night with Brock, and I was hooked. But hooked doesn’t mean ready for a relationship.

That’s what he wants. And deep down, I’m starting to fear that’s what I want too.

I’m just not sure I’m ready for it.

I mean, he’s the literal epitome of tall, dark, and handsome, plus he’s a pilot…with a six-pack and perfect hair and a smile to melt me from the inside out. How’s a girl supposed to resist that? I couldn’t. I can’t. I’ve tried, but I keep going back for more.

I’ve got it bad, real BADD.

Twisted Twosome, an all new sexy, laugh out loud romantic comedy from Meghan Quinn is LIVE!

TwistedTwosome

Twisted Twosome by Meghan Quinn
Publication Date: August 3, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Racer McKay is a broody bastard.

From the moment I met him, he’s been rude, irritable, and unbearable.

A contractor working to remodel my parents pool house for extra cash, he stomps around in those clunky construction boots with his tool belt wrapped around his narrow waist, and a chip on his shoulder.

Racer McKay is also infuriatingly . . . sexy as hell. I want to take that pencil tucked behind his ear, and draw lazy lines slowly up and down his body all the while wanting to strangle him at the same time.

We try to stay out of each other’s way . . . that is until I have no other option but to ask for his help.

But what I don’t realize is he needs me just as much as I need him. I have money he’s desperate for, and he holds the key to making my dreams come true.

Our pranks turn from sarcastic banter, to sexual tension and lust-filled glances. Bickering matches quickly morph into slow burn moments. We’re hot, we’re cold. We push and pull. I need him, I don’t want him. We’re on the verge of combusting with an agreement dangling dangerously between us. Neither one of us can afford to lose one another and yet, we’re finding it quite hard to decipher the line that rests between love and hate.

A BLONDE AT HEART

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations.

She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

New Release: The Devil’s Cut by J. R. Ward – The Final Book in The Bourbon Kings Series

Posted on 08/01/2017 by shellbellereads

The Devil’s Cut

Bourbon Kings Series – Book 3

By J. R. Ward

Buy: Amazon / B & N / IBooks / Kobo

Synopsis

In #1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward’s thrilling finale to her Bourbon Kings series, the Bradford family dynasty teeters on the edge of collapse after the murder of their patriarch—and a shocking arrest.

At first, the death of William Baldwine, the head of the Bradford family, was ruled a suicide. But then his eldest son and sworn enemy, Edward, came forward and confessed to what was, in fact, a murder. Now in police custody, Edward mourns not the disintegration of his family or his loss of freedom . . . but the woman he left behind. His love, Sutton Smythe, is the only person he has ever truly cared about, but as she is the CEO of the Bradford Bourbon Company’s biggest competitor, any relationship between them is impossible. And then there’s the reality of the jail time that Edward is facing.

Lane Baldwine was supposed to remain in his role of playboy, forever in his big brother Edward’s shadow. Instead he has become the new head of the family and the company. Convinced that Edward is covering for someone else, Lane and his true love, Lizzie King, go on the trail of a killer—only to discover a secret that is as devastating as it is game-changing.

As Lane rushes to discover the truth, and Sutton finds herself irresistibly drawn to Edward in spite of his circumstances, the lives of everyone at Easterly will never be the same again. For some, this is good; for others, it could be a tragedy beyond imagining. Only one thing is for certain: Love survives all things. Even murder.

_______________________________________

Michel’s Review

The grand finale in the Bourbon Kings series has released. The Devil’s Cut by J. R. Ward delivers a powerful conclusion for the Bradford family dynasty. Appearances are deceptive, behind the illusion of grandeur and wealth lies deadly secrets. These secrets are motives for deception, theft, and murder. Fortunes are squandered for power and greed. People are destroyed in the name of love. The strong branches of the family tree are nothing but broken, twisted limbs. The Bradford legacy is nothing but an illusion about to be exposed.

Lane Baldwine is desperately trying to save the family name and fortune his father embezzled. His brother Edward has been charged with their father’s murder. His sister Gin has sold herself to an abusive marriage for all the wrong reasons. His brother Max has suddenly returned home after being off the grid for years. The mother of his heart is dying and his birth mother is lost to the world of drugs and insanity. His soon to be ex wife is pregnant with his father’s baby and trying to secure her share of the family fortune. His father not only left the family finances destitute , he also left behind illegitimate children and a multitude of enemies. Lane Baldwine is dealing with more than a lost fortune, he’s dealing with a broken family.

The big question is who killed “daddy dearest” ? The answer to that question could either unravel the family more or save what is left of the broken threads.

The next big question is where did all the money go? Is it lost forever or can Lane salvage enough to save the distillery?

Has the Bradford Legacy come to an end? That question all depends on the first question.

If you want the all the answers… read the book! All the answers are hidden in plain sight in pure sarcastic and twisted J. R. Ward brilliance.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Bourbon King series. The Devil’s Cut delivered all the answers with quite a few surprises along the way. There were a few things that held me back from giving this book five stars. At times it felt a bit rushed and other times too drawn out and slower paced. Another factor that held me back was one of the characters that was introduced in book one and added to the dynamics in developing the plot was omitted in book three. I felt like they were part of the key in the new dynamics of the Bradford family legacy. Overall it was a very good book and satisfying conclusion to the series.

The Bourbon Kings

The Bourbon Kings – Book One

Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Black Dagger Brotherhood delivers the first novel in an enthralling new series set amid the shifting dynamics of a Southern family defined by wealth and privilege—and compromised by secrets, deceit, and scandal….

For generations, the Bradford family has worn the mantle of kings of the bourbon capital of the world. Their sustained wealth has afforded them prestige and privilege—as well as a hard-won division of class on their sprawling estate, Easterly. Upstairs, a dynasty that by all appearances plays by the rules of good fortune and good taste. Downstairs, the staff who work tirelessly to maintain the impeccable Bradford facade. And never the twain shall meet.

For Lizzie King, Easterly’s head gardener, crossing that divide nearly ruined her life. Falling in love with Tulane, the prodigal son of the bourbon dynasty, was nothing that she intended or wanted—and their bitter breakup only served to prove her instincts were right. Now, after two years of staying away, Tulane is finally coming home again, and he is bringing the past with him. No one will be left unmarked: not Tulane’s beautiful and ruthless wife; not his older brother, whose bitterness and bad blood know no bounds; and especially not the ironfisted Bradford patriarch, a man with few morals, fewer scruples, and many, many terrible secrets.

As family tensions—professional and intimately private—ignite, Easterly and all its inhabitants are thrown into the grips of an irrevocable transformation, and only the cunning will survive.

Synopsis

#1 New York Times bestselling author J. R. Ward delivers the second novel in her Bourbon Kings series—a sweeping saga of a Southern dynasty struggling to maintain a façade of privilege and prosperity, while secrets and indiscretions threaten its very foundation……

In Charlemont, Kentucky, the Bradford family is the crème de la crème of high society—just like their exclusive brand of bourbon. And their complicated lives and vast estate are run by a discrete staff who inevitably become embroiled in their affairs. This is especially true now, when the apparent suicide of the family patriarch is starting to look more and more like murder…
No one is above suspicion—especially the eldest Bradford son, Edward. The bad blood between him and his father is known far and wide, and he is aware that he could be named a suspect. As the investigation into the death intensifies, he keeps himself busy at the bottom of a bottle—as well as with his former horse trainer’s daughter. Meanwhile, the family’s financial future lies in the perfectly manicured hands of a business rival, a woman who wants Edward all to herself.

Everything has consequences; everybody has secrets. And few can be trusted. Then, at the very brink of the family’s demise, someone thought lost to them forever returns to the fold. Maxwell Bradford has come home. But is he a savior…or the worst of all the sinners?

New Release + 5 Star Review: Blind Date by Bella Jewel

Posted on 08/01/2017 by shellbellereads

Blind Date

By Bella Jewel

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Buy: Amazon / B & N / IBooks / Kobo

Synopsis

From Bella Jewel, the USA Today bestselling author of the wildly popular Alphas Heart e-series, comes a pulse-pounding thriller about a serial killer who’s hiding in plain sight, targeting his prey one BLIND DATE at a time. . .

After the death of her husband four years ago, Hartley Watson is finally ready to meet someone—and maybe even have a second chance at love. But then, just as her dating life seems to be getting started, Hartley is struck with a horrifying realization: Someone is watching her. Entering her own home. Even knows the intimate details of her life. How else to explain the strange deliveries, or the sudden appearance of mementos from her dead spouse—ones that she had kept for so long in storage?

If only Hartley could know for sure whether what is happening to her is real or if her grief is making her lose touch with reality. Those around her aren’t convinced that she’s being stalked, nor is the wonderful, supportive man Hartley’s started dating. The exciting new life she has created for herself is slowly becoming a nightmare. . .How can Hartley seek protection when nobody believes that she’s at risk—and the only one in the world she can trust is herself?

______________________________________

Michel’s Review

In today’s world the dating scene is ruled by the swipe of a finger. Dating Apps are the key to connecting with others without having to physically put oneself out there night after night. A date can be made with one swipe. In many ways this way of dating is wonderful because one can filter out the duds and find someone more suited to their interests. There are drawbacks to this method of dating as well because a person is relying on honesty and integrity and that is not always the case. In all reality you don’t know what you are getting yourself into.

After several years of being a widow, Hartley Watson is ready to join the land of the living. Her best friend convinces her to join a blind date dating site to meet new people. While she is reluctant, she agrees it’s time to move on with her life. The first few dates are a disaster but by the third date things are starting to look better. She’s actually starting to enjoy dating once again until weird things begin happening in her life. It seems like the ghost of her husband has surfaced and is meddling in her life. At first she chalks it up to an active imagination and guilt until things start turning downright creepy. She feels like she’s being watched and has become fearful of her own shadow. Her friends and the new man she is dating think it’s just harmless coincidenses rather than a dangerous stalker. Her cranky neighbor, a police detective, isn’t convinced it’s harmless. There is a serial killer known as the Bowtie Killer loose in the city and killing women. He’s trying to figure out the connection between the dead women and Hartley. He’s fearful Hartley may be the next victim. Can he figure it out before it’s too late for Hartley? What makes this case even more complicated is he’s starting to actually like his crazy neighbor a little more than a neighborly way.

Bella Jewel had me on the edge of my seat with this book. The suspense kept escalating and the plot became even more complicated as the story progressed. While I suspected who the killer was all along, his actions and motivations remained a mystery until the very end. The romance between Ace and Hartley is a slow build that turns from hostility to respect before the sexual tension takes over. It was refreshing to see a relationship that wasn’t based on insta-love or driven by sexual attraction. They really got to know one another before they ventured into a romantic relationship. The sexual tension was brilliantly hidden within the hostility and reluctant friendship.

If you are looking for a thriller mixed with a hot romance I would highly recommend Blind Date by Bella Jewel.

Collared-Leteisha Newton

Death changes us all …

Without my husband, my world caved. The business we built together is a prison. Our home, once filled with laughter and passion, is a tomb for what was. I want to give it all away and find a new place to start over. But the needs inside me, long-hidden whispers, won’t leave me alone. What I crave, a newfound darkness to match the pain, is impossible to ignore.

When Infidelity offers me a chance for fulfillment and a companion with no strings, I grasped it with both hands.

My Master is hurting. He’s filled with agonies and releases them on my flesh. We push and pull, an Owner and his slave, and I am helpless at his feet. But he strengthens me, giving me the power to fight his demons and substitute for what he’s lost.

I wasn’t supposed to fall in love, shouldn’t want to be more than a replacement. But I did, and I do. We only have the agreement between us, but I want him to own me irrevocably. Forever, always, to keep me …

Collared.

Diamonds by N Kuhn

As a diamond broker for the Costello crime family, you should never, ever, fall in love, with the Feds, especially one sexy black haired, green eyed vixen, set on putting you away.

They say, diamonds are a girl’s best friend. But when they are blood diamonds, from a criminal you’re supposed to put away, this Federal Agent can’t keep them, or him. Can she?

Devious-Solease Barner

Revenge is best served cold… until her.

Jaxson Montgomery has worked long and hard to climb to the top of the business world. His company is one in which image and connections mean success or failure. He’s known as ‘The Fixer’, and for the right price, he can make any problem disappear. His services are sought by the wealthiest and most famous people across the globe… and, quite often, the most notorious and criminally inclined as well. He’s respected by men and adored by women. To society, he appears to be a man with everything, good looks, charm, wealth, and, if he so desires, a different woman every night of the week.

But in his world, appearances are only a matter of perception. Jaxson Montgomery does not have everything. There’s one thing he desperately wants and he’s determined to have it, by any means necessary. After tragedy in his own life leaves him reeling and broken with a problem even he’s unable to fix, Jaxson is determined to seek retribution. He has the perfect plan. It’s devious, dark, and dangerous, but failure is not an option. Jaxson learned long ago to keep his friends close and enemies, closer. He’s prepared to do whatever it takes to have his revenge… even if it means sleeping with the enemy.

And the beautiful Silvia Demetri is the perfect pawn. After all, revenge is always best served cold…

Until it isn’t.

Kindhearted Silvia Demetri doesn’t have the perfect life. Yet, to the world, she appears to have everything a woman could possibly want… beauty, intelligence, sophistication, money. But we all know, appearances can be deceiving. There’s something missing, something very important. She yearns for love, but has given up all hope of finding it.

When Silvia begins preparations for her annual charity foundation event, little does she know her entire life is about to be changed by a simple chance encounter with a handsome, charming stranger, one who will sweep her off her feet, make her feel things she’s never experienced, and turn her world upside down.

A man who knows nothing about her or her family… or so she thinks.

But what if meeting Jaxson Montgomery wasn’t chance at all…

Maybe it was something far more devious.

Captivate – Stacey Lynn

Raised with poise and grace and a lifetime of being around the wealthiest members of society in Savannah, Georgia, becoming a client of Infidelity makes perfect sense. It offers her everything she needs—financial security, a new life, and the possibility of final getting rid of her pesky V-Card.

What—or who—she doesn’t expect, is for Liam Allistor to come crashing in and messing up all of her new plans.

Liam Allistor has more secret than he has tattoos. His deep set black eyes and banging body along with his mystery allure is what makes panties drop as soon as he steps on stage in crowded arenas. But then he’s rocked by a scandal and his ticket sales plummet. His tour ends at breakneck speed, and everyone, including Liam, is left wondering if his career has come to a screeching halt.

He needs a publicity makeover, but more than that…he needs a girlfriend. And Infidelity is just the place for him to find one.

His agent wants him to clean up his image. Infidelity wants his money and silence.

And Liam? He wants Claudia, and he doesn’t care what he has to do to get her.

On August 3 from 6 – 10 PM EST….in Aleatha Romig’s Updates and Teasers we will have a THE FIDELITY WORLD LAUNCH CELEBRATION. Different authors every 15 minutes. Special appearances by THE DRAZEN WORLD and IMPERFECT LOVE WORLD – Kindle Worlds. The grand prize for the celebration is a Kindle Paper White.

In PERILOUS TRUST, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy brings you the first book in a new romantic suspense series! OFF THE GRID: An FBI Series offers five breath-stealing books filled with action-packed plot, heart-stopping romance, and page-turning suspense.

It was one dark night that brought Damon Wolfe and Sophie Parker together. They were two tortured souls, looking for escape, and they weren’t supposed to see each other ever again…

Four years later, Sophie’s FBI father, who is also Damon’s mentor, is killed in a suspicious car crash after leaving Sophie a cryptic message to trust no one from the agency. When Damon shows up looking for her, she isn’t sure if he’s friend or enemy, but she knows he could easily rip apart what is left of her heart.

The last thing Damon wants is to get involved with Sophie again. It was hard enough to walk away the first time. But she’s in trouble, her father’s reputation is under attack, and the lives of his fellow agents are at stake if there’s a traitor in their midst.

When someone starts shooting at them, they have no choice but to go on the run and off the grid. Everyone in their world becomes a suspect. They want to uncover the truth, but will it turn out to be the last thing they expect? Proving her father’s innocence might just cost them their hearts…and their lives…

EXCERPT:

She could see the war going on in Damon’s eyes, the need to do the right thing, the desire to feel what they’d felt once before.

“I don’t want to hurt you,” he said huskily.

“You won’t hurt me.”

“You said that the last time, but I hurt you then, and I don’t want to do it again.”

“That was different. We know each other better now.”

“That might be true, but there’s something else that’s also true—I don’t do love, Sophie. I’m not good at it, and it doesn’t work out. I might be exactly what you want in the night, but I will never be what you want in the morning.”

“In the morning? We don’t even know if we’re going to have a morning, Damon. You told me that I need to stay in the moment. This is the moment. So, stop fighting. Please, stop fighting.”

“You’re not playing fair, Sophie.”

“I’m not playing at all,” she said, recklessness driving her forward. She pressed her mouth against his, and took what she wanted. It was a heady, glorious, freeing feeling.

Release Blitz + 5 Star Review: Big Shot by Kim Karr

Big Shot

Sexy Jerk World – Book 2

By Kim Karr

Synopsis

Ten years ago I had no idea what I wanted out of life, until I met Hannah Michaels. She was a computer-engineering student ready to conquer the social media world, and I was smitten. Even though I knew she was taken, I had to have her.

Being the big shot that I was, I didn’t let her status stand in my way. It wasn’t long before my hands were on her thighs and my name a whisper on her lips. This smart, sexy girl inspired me to greatness, helped me grow into the kind of man I never knew I wanted to be. The man I am today.

Too bad I hadn’t grown fast enough to keep her.

Moving on wasn’t easy, but I knew I had to let her go. Eventually, I found someone to share my days and nights with, and together we had a daughter. My life was nearly perfect until my world turned upside down.

A single father has challenges, and one of those is learning how to calmly deal with your child coming home in tears. I had no idea the day I pounded on my daughter’s classmate’s door, Hannah would be the one standing on the other side.

The wild, burning desire that rushed through my veins was unwanted, and yet impossible to ignore. Letting her in meant so much more this time around. Guilt hit me like a hammer. I hated myself. I hated her. The problem was I really didn’t hate her—I wanted her more than ever.

But this time around, I can’t have her.

This time it’s my status that stands in our way—and going up against myself just might be the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Michel’s Review

It’s no secret that I am a huge Kim Karr fan. I love her writing. She has the unique ability to think outside of the box and take predictable plots to another level. She also gives her characters complex personalities that come as a surprise as their character develops in a book. I can honestly say that Big Shot is one of my favorite books by her so far.

Readers were introduced to Jace in Sexy Jerk. Besides being a successful businessman, he is a single father and widower. Readers were able to get a glimpse of him while he was bogged down with his grief and maneuvering parenthood. We also got to see a bit of his kinky side as well, when he becomes the third in his best friend’s bedroom. The impressions readers were left with were intriguing. We knew there had to be more to this man than what was initially presented. It all goes back to ten years ago when he was a college student and fell hopelessly in love with his best friend’s girl. The twisted love triangle ended badly and none of them got their happily ever after. They all moved on in life and found their special someone to build a future with. Unfortunately for Jace, his happily ever after was ended abruptly and he was left alone with his darling daughter. His main focus in life is raising her. When a bully from school upsets his daughter he does what any good parent does, he takes control of the situation. When he confronts the bully’s parent he’s in for a complete surprise. It was the girl he fell hopelessly in love with and lost ten years ago. He doesn’t want to want her and he can’t stay away. This time around he has life experience, maturity, and better coping mechanisms in his arsenal. He’s not going to let Hannah get away this time but first he has to let go of his grief.

Hannah never thought she would see Jace again after college. When he turns up on her doorstep angry and defensive, she’s shocked. Dealing with him on a daily basis through their children’s school functions is manageable. What makes it worse is she was hired to work for his company. Now she has to deal with him at work. She’s not the same girl she once was. Her future took a very different path and now her priorities are making a good life for her and her son.

Hannah and Jace can’t stay away from one another. This time there isn’t a third person in the bedroom to hold back their insatiable passion for one another. The only thing standing in their way is themselves. They will have to choose how they want to mold their futures. The choice may be what fate intended for them all along.

The only thing I can say is I LOVED THIS BOOK! Kim Karr explored all the emotions that most authors don’t touch upon in menage type romances. She showed the other side of the passion and the realities of the emotional repercussions.

I would highly recommend this book!
