After too much wine, Lori Duncan calls her ex and initiates phone sex to prove him wrong--she's not boring and predictable. Jack Hartwell answers his roommate's phone and goes along with his sexy next door neighbor's game until he realizes her fantasy includes him and not his roommate. Was her slip of tongue intentional or just part of the game?

Review: Naughty, flirty, teasing, erotic fun.

The story begins with, “Are you alone?”

And then the fun begin. The story is a slippery slide into taking chances and letting your true wants drive your actions. How playing teasing games can reveal intimate truths. This short story is a fast read. It’s deliciously naughty and yet emotionally driven. If you’ve ever wanted to pretend you were someone you weren’t or reveal your true feelings and yet remain anonymous, you’ll relate to Lori and Jack. It’s a feel good read that shows why Ms. Lace is a titillating voice in erotic romance.

Blurb: All her life, tomboy Bradi Kincaid has wanted two things—a career as a veterinarian in her hometown of Grayson, Texas…and Mason Montgomery. Problem is, he’s her best friend and, according to him, she’s “one of the guys”. Convinced he’ll never see her otherwise, Bradi comes up with a sure-fire plan to get over Mason—flirt a little, dance a lot and get laid.

What Mason imagines doing to Bradi is just all kinds of wrong. But the woman on the dance floor isn’t the girl he grew up with. She’s hot and sexy and turning him on. Him and every other man in the bar. She’s also had too much to drink and is unaware of the trouble she’s inviting. He does what any friend would—he steps in, then sets out to teach her a lesson. But before the sun rises, Mason discovers Bradi has a thing or two to teach him.

Review: hot hot hot!!! Ms Lace has done another bang up job with this story. Sassy, Sexy and the fact that it is friends to lovers is an extra added bonus for this reviewer. Filled with emotion, angst and fears, the reality of this story nearly jumped off the pages with intensity. Well done Darah!

Blurb: Marcus Preston wants a relationship built on love and trust, but the woman he wants made it clear long ago she's only interested in fun and games. Yet, moving on proves difficult when no one else can erase the memory of the night they shared last summer.

Charlotte Reese doesn't believe in love, marriage, or happily ever afters. An occasional one-night stand is all she needs to take the edge off her loneliness and enhance the bad-girl image she uses to discourage commitment-seeking men—especially Marcus, the only man to melt both her body and her heart melt.

When Charlotte wins Marcus hot off the block of Houston’s Most Eligible Bachelor Auction and they’re forced to spend the weekend together, she seizes the opportunity to seduce him and extinguish the attraction sizzling between them once and for all. But for Marcus, it’s all or nothing. He won’t be seduced. Instead, he’ll show Charlotte she has more to offer a man than sex.

Review: Oh yeah. Now THIS is what I am talking about!
 
Hot man...no SCORCHING HOT MAN! Sexy story, heroine with flaws but still a strong woman...the total package :)  A totally rocking, super great read, that was not only sexy, but full of emotion. Now I have to say that at one point I was very disappointed in Charlotte but she redeemed herself in the very next paragraph so all was good and right in the world again :)
 
I fell hard for both main characters...as it should be in a well written story. Emotion, drama, lust, drama, conflict, lust, fight, make-up, love, passion. It was all there and then some. Ms Lace has done it yet again with this winning book. I can't wait to see what she has coming next :)

Blurb: Lindsey Baker knows Clay Talbot’s dirty little secret—he likes to watch, he likes to share, and he likes his sex a little on the rough side. So does she. Six years ago he was quick to brush her off for being too young and inexperienced. Now she’s back in small-town Grayson, Texas, determined to show Clay she’s all grown up and knows exactly what she wants—him.

Clay doesn’t play in his own backyard. His dark cravings are better fed at Silver House, a private fetish club where his identity is protected and his privacy respected. And where the women know the score. But Lindsey Baker pushes all the right buttons and he soon finds himself torn between keeping her at the edge of his world and dragging her into it.

Saddle up for a smokin’-hot turn between two cowboys who like a little twist with their ride.

Review: Yowza. Saddle up Clay for me! I don’t think I’ve ever read a hotter opening scene. Ms. Lace has written a gritty, sex-clenching novella. Clay’s character has such a hard edge, but the mental, physical…sexual cut is so clean that the hurt feels so good.

I for one, couldn’t put the book down. I read it in one sitting and after the last page of the pdf was scrolled, I was pissed! I wanted more! The sex is hot, the men are hot, Lindsey is a bitch (okay I really love her, but want to hate her. Damn the luck of some women even in fiction) because she gets what all of us fantasy over. Two hot, muscular men, with a strong hands—both in touch and in their dominating ways. Damn, I can’t even write this review without remember the way I hummed right along with Lindsey. Saddle up and ride, baby. Ride until you’ve been Saddle Broke.
