Blurb/Summary:

Bottoms Up, Book Two

Suzy likes her men tough and her sex rough—and for two weeks a year, she indulges in both. On the agenda this vacation? Untamed cowboy, straight from the source—a hoppin’ bar in rural West Texas named Bottoms Up. But tough turns to trouble when she picks the wrong cowboy—an ex-con fresh from the slammer who won’t take no for an answer…

Jonah McKenzie rides to the rescue, clueless the fiery redhead who tempts him into the wildest night of his life is actually a blast from his past. It’ll take a firm hand indeed once he discovers the tattooed firecracker in his bed is none other than the soft-spoken sweetheart he once finagled a date with—only to stand her up when unexpected tragedy struck.

At six-foot-four Jonah’s one long, tall Texan, and he’s hell-bent on reining in the “lady” claiming he’s too tame to satisfy her naughty side. He’ll be happy to prove she’s wrong—with that western belt of his that she so admires.

Review:

I fell in love with this story almost immediately from the insanity of the heroine, to the hero who was misunderstood and invisible to his family.

There were so many dynamics to Jonah and Suzy that it would take paragraphs for me to expound on. Miscommunication is often the death of many a relationship. I spewed coffee and died laughing about the oral classes Suzy took in Florida. I wanted to kill Jonah’s siblings and throttle his Nana.

I love a strong Hero who can overcome any obstacle and a stubborn heroine that is determined even if it’s misplaced. I strongly suggest this read; it’ll keep you entertained, blushing, and hot.

Blurb/Summary:

Kara Morgan—fiery, passionate, wild. But a drug addict? A stripper? Nearly a decade is plenty long enough to forget the wayward lover who ran out on him, but try as he might, Shaun Weston can’t kick Kara from his mind. Now, just when his luck can’t get any worse, her wealthy mother is waving a lot of money in his face and begging him to help save her daughter. To kidnap Kara.

Shaun Weston—caring, good-hearted, determined. But reasonable? Or right about her? Not on his life. Taken by surprise—while completely naked—then bound, gagged and hauled away caveman style by the one man she’s never stopped hurting for, Shaun is fit-to-be-tied angry…and maybe just a little turned-on. Okay, a lot turned-on.

Who knew she had such a kinky side? Or that he did too? And why is he back in her life now, determined to “save” her? Someone sure has their share of explaining to do—but with passions running this hot, who has time for talking?

Review:

Shaun Weston cannot believe his eyes or his ears, when the one person who loathes his very existence has shown up for his help in getting her daughter back. Kara's mother has come to the conclusion that his Kara (no, not his Kara anymore) is now a drug using stripper and she wants his help to kidnap her and bring her back home.

Shaun can't believe that Kara has turned to a life of drug and stripping to support herself, but being the gentleman he is he is going to get her the help she needs to straighten out her life.

Kara can't believe she is being kidnapped at all and when she finds out it is the man who holds the key to her heart, can she convince him that things aren't always what they seem.

This story by Alyssa Brooks is a delightfully funny and quite sexually charged. She has you laughing one minute and steaming up the room the next, this is a story that is well written and has very enjoyable characters and story line.
