Sumptuous

A collection of three romantic stories; the boys do play with expensive toys. The first has an extravagant spoilt dog. The second is with lavish gadgets. The third is a prospect of a multimillion computer program. In the third story, the woman is actually the rich one, owning stores all around the world. The second tale is James-Bond-ish. The first involves an appealing French figure. The similarity between the three stories - they are all hot and bothered on the same subject. Also, all the men are over six feet. And, all the women are beautiful, possessing flat abdomens. A fast read on a lazy Sunday.

Another Fun Anthology!

Brave is the King or I guess rather the Queen of anthologies! Their "Bad Boys" series are fun fast reads that offer the reader great escapes, yummy hero's, fun heroine's and some rather steamy chemistry between the two. This latest is no acception. This read has some great authors contributing to it (Nancy Warren, MaryJanice Davidson, and Karen Kelley) so you know that you're in for a treat. I won't go into a long drawn out synopsis of each short story, suffice to say that all three authors manage to deliver fun reads that will have the reader laughing out loud and sighing "Ah romance". There truly was not a bad one in the bunch. I highly recommend this line and series if you like your romance spicy, laughter, and yummy hot hero's that live up to their reputation.

Just the title alone makes you want to pick up the book.

BAD BOYS WITH EXPENSIVE TOYS. Just the title alone makes you want to pick up the book. But Karen Kelley's novella, ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, makes it worth the read all by itself. A hunky computer entrepreneur, Alex Cannedy pinky-swears to his sister to leave her hubby's best friend, Kagen Yates, alone. Seems Alex has a history of lovin' `em and leavin' `em. But Alex and Kagen must share the newlyweds' apartment for a week and unfortunately Kagen has lovin' on her mind. When Alex acts uninterested, she tries every dirty trick in the book to make him cave. And watching Alex squirm under the pressure is pure delight. The race is on to see who will win in this sexy romp that sizzles with sexual tension. The lovin' steams up the windows when Alex has finally had all he can take and Kagen gets just what she deserves. Karen's comedic voice really shines through in this fast-paced novella.
