Compromise Me #2

Entangled: Brazen
Laurie Peterson assumes her impulsive one-night stand with sinfully sexy Sheriff Ethan Booker is the biggest surprise of the year…until her bakery burns down while she’s basking in the afterglow. It looks like her dreams are up in smoke, but then Ethan proposes a deal too tempting to resist.
Ethan has no intention of settling for a one-night stand with Laurie. Nor does he want anything to do with the women his wealthy family wants him to meet. Not when he’s waited ten years for his chance to make his move. His deal might have strings—and Laurie may not know the stakes—but nothing will stop this sexy cop from staking a real claim on her body and her heart.
She turned on less than
steady legs and walked to the other side of the room, feeling the weight of his
stare on her the entire time. Once there, she planted her feet hip’s distance
apart, bent from the waist, and rested her forearms on the bed. “I trust this
is interesting enough for you?”
His footsteps fueled her
adrenalin. She lowered her head to the mattress, and lifted onto her toes.
“It’s definitely a start.
Hand me my belt.”
She raised her head as a
hundred imaginary feathers fluttered down her spine. “Your...what?”
“My belt,” he repeated.
“It’s right beside you.”
“Why?”
“Give it to me, and you’ll
find out.”
If she wasn’t in the mood
for this, all she had to do was say so. Booker would let it go, without
question. Even knowing this, backing down felt too much like surrender. She
handed the strap to him, but couldn’t help adding a caustic comment. “Who would
have guessed there were fifty shades of Sheriff Booker?”
His soft laugh stirred
invisible molecules in the air around her. “I would never do anything so conventional. Besides”—he folded the
belt in half and ran the edge along the back of her thigh—“I think you secretly
prefer gentle.”
“I told you before, you
don’t have to be gentle with me.”
“You’re tough, huh?” The
edge of the belt tickled her skin again.
She faced front and held
her position. “That’s right.” Dammit, she was her own worst enemy.
“Okay, tough girl. Be
still.”
Another sexy installment in the Compromise Me series! Laurie and Ethan have had ten years in which to build the anticipation and their first time together is HOT! He has patiently waiting for the time to make his move, and one night will not be enough for him. But Laurie doesn't do relationships, so when the opportunity to have her pretend to be his girlfriend arises, he jumps at it. It may be pretend for her, but it's always been real for him. I loved seeing Ethan start to bring down some of Laurie's walls until she really lets him in. Ethan's family is great and his mom was an unexpected surprise. I've really enjoyed the series so far and am eagerly awaiting more!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
When not clinging to sanity by her fingernails or dreaming up fun, fan-your-cheeks sexy ways to get her characters to happily-ever-afters, she searches for the perfect cabernet to pair with Ambien.
