I’m not the type of girl who picks up a man on a rooftop bar.
Not the kind of girl who lets a man’s hands roam my body, discovering I have no panties on.
Never the girl who has hours’ worth of o’s from a smoking-hot one-night stand.
But Dominick makes it so easy to say yes.
His body, his moves, and his oh-so-wicked tongue have me saying it over and over again.
Yes, please.
Yes, more.
Yes, right there.
He worships every inch of my body, and I’m still sore the next morning when I meet him again.
This time, he’s Mr. Dalton, my sister’s cutthroat entertainment lawyer.
And he has a proposition for me.
He wants to make me famous.
Of course, that means sharing a screen with my wildly jealous sister.
It means giving up my career.
It means the whole world will suddenly know everything about me.
Which presents one catastrophic problem—Dominick doesn’t date famous people.
So, do I take a chance at becoming a Hollywood star, or do I pass up the opportunity to be with the man who gave me a taste of forever?
"The way her body responded to me was such a fucking turn-on"
Sooo, hmmmm. Is *this* the naughty side of Marni Mann I have often heard about but haven't had the chance to experience yet?? I easily and anxiously jump into Mann’s books with zeal - and I’m immediately fixated, so this book was a definite joy to get wrapped up in. Her words immediately bring the story to life from the get-go. So finding out that this was erotica organically, well - that upped the ante and the reader experience for me as a first timer!! I just knew I was getting a Marni Mann Experience - one that I've come to really enjoy. I went in blind, signing up only knowing it was another book by her. I laugh looking back because I missed her announcing this was erotica. What a surprise, eye-opening, and very delicious introduction.
The premise of this one was different - being one I don't think I've had the chance to actually read yet. (*racks brain to mentally look for another like it*) Not my first choice of stories because of the reality star aspect of it, BUT, Mann has always given me something to hold onto and reach for, so I actually enjoyed this one a lot. It had the perfect trajectory and movement points for the meeting of these characters and their story.
I like my man alpha. I also like my man with a heart that he just needs to share with someone...whether he knows it or not. (I say my man....because, you know - "my man" happens to be Dominick at the moment!) So, he goes all protective alpha for her, but he is a total teddy bear and his mouth did some work. Verbally and officially, he was untamable in every way. Just delicious. I have been saying that every time I posted or discussed the book with other readers because it's true. Figuratively. Literally. Dominick really worked for me. He had a good disposition; a little growl, a little schmooze, and a little sweet cheesiness mixed in.
But Kendall was the complete and polar opposite of any heroine that I can remember reading. She was the mental description of innocence, but had the look and appetite of a lion. Their sexual connection...and appetite, complimented each others so very well. No lie - it was nice to see the hunger on both sides equally as naughty. I struggled with a few parts - they were a personal thing for me, but it didn't interrupt the flow of the storyline or the enjoyment of their journey in any way.
But Dominick. My gosh. I know I keep going back to him, but he brings everything to LIFE! So, when I say he has it going on....I mean, he has it going on! He wasn’t just cocky. His picture is right next to the word 'arrogant' in the dictionary. He was….very assertive, to say the least. *waggles eyebrows* Absolutely, the perfect mix of power and emotion. His personality alone was what kept pushing me because as primed and planned as his character felt, he shocked me with each turn and the emotion he put forth in his relationship with Kendall. The stark contrast between his alpha and sweet side was ….pretty impressive, to be honest. Such a refreshing change to see that flexibility in his persona.
I'm pretty sure I could go on and on discussing the characters in great length, as well as each individual moment captured and delivered, but that would take away from YOUR discovery - but that's not denying that I want to!!! But, again - this was hot. This was naughty. This was sexy. There was a cheese factor at the end - and that's never my favorite, but the demeanor in which it was delivered worked for the actual breakdown of the story.
With this being the first book in this standalone series, I am super excited about reading the next two books for Dominick's brothers Jenner and Ford. But, I also just found out SIGNED is James' book, and we would have met her before, but I met her in this book. Needless to say, I want to jump into that book next!! A little background detective work on their relationship to bring me up to speed for The Billionaire coming out in March 2022 and The Single Dad coming in June 2022. I'll feel like I have the whole picture of this group by then. But, I'm sure I'll fall down another rabbit hole of a series with that one....so I'll be busy for a little bit!
I know I talked a lot about how hot this story was, but it was more than just a sex story, but I also wont lie and say it didn't rightfully set the tone for the relationship dynamic these two have. I really enjoyed it. This was a gooooood book. Now to go load up my kindle with more of her BOOKS...
