The Object of his Desire



ebook erotica review lady porn billionaire


When Trudy goes to her estranged brother's wedding, the last thing she expects is one of those moments: a handsome stranger, their eyes meeting across a crowded room... a tempting, but dangerous stranger. Determined to find out more, she discovers that dark secrets bind him to her brother; she also learns that he's the kind of man who gets what he wants, and what he wants right now is Trudy. 


Introducing her to the world of the super-wealthy, he showers her with designer clothes, shoes, and diamonds, whisking her off to dinner dates by private jet... what more could a girl want?



But as she finds out more about him, Trudy begins to wonder if she can ever love a man she can never fully trust. A man involved in murder and blackmail, who may just be using her as an alibi. Should she run or let herself fall for him? And will he give her a choice?



A passionate erotic romance, where scandals buried away in the past lead to murderous intrigue in the present, in the intensely steamy world of the super-wealthy and powerful.




Excerpt:

He was waiting for me. Friday night after work. Sitting on the second step outside the Victorian terrace where I had an apartment. His tailored charcoal suit was rumpled, as if he’d slept in it. His knees were tucked up to his chest, his arms folded across them, the sleeves pulled halfway up his forearms. His shoes were expensive, of course: long and slender, rubbed black leather with patent toe-caps. His pants were a slim fit, narrow at the ankle and calf, emphasizing the long, athletic lines of his legs, his body.
On the ring finger of his right hand he wore a silver signet ring. I remembered it from before: the family seal. The ring was hundreds of years old, just another of those little things that surrounded this man, everyday reminders that he and his kind were anything but everyday.
I’d stopped across the street. I hadn’t even realized that I’d come to a halt. Hadn’t realized that my heart was pounding as if it were trying to escape from my chest.
Studying his suit, his shoes, his signet ring... anything but his face.
He was watching me. Studying me in return. Those dark eyes.
Predator eyes – that’s what I’d thought, the first time I met him, the first time those eyes latched onto me at Ethan’s wedding. Now, those eyes burned into me with that same intensity and I felt pinned to the spot.
I looked down.
How was it that he made me blush so easily? I don’t blush. That’s not the person I am.
He stood.
There was that fuzz of dark stubble along his jaw again, the tie knotted tight but pulled loose around his neck, the top button of his shirt undone.
He stepped away from the entrance to my building, waving a hand as if to usher me through. No words.
I crossed the street, almost walked straight on past him, then paused.
“I never know where I stand with you,” I said softly. “I never know when you’re telling the truth, and when you’re gaming me. I never know when you’re leading me on. I don’t knowyou...”
It was his turn to look down, a sudden vulnerability in those dark eyes. “Do you even want to know me?” he asked, and the way he phrased it, his words could have been either a question or a warning.
I looked at him, waited until his eyes returned to meet mine. I couldn’t find the words, and I didn’t know what that silence said.
Ask me any time up until that point and I’d have said, NoNo way. He’d had his chance.
But when he asked me then... well, suddenly I didn’t know what the answer would be if I opened my mouth and spoke. So: the silence.
Do I really want to know you, Willem Bentinck-Stanley?
“I–”
“Don’t go apologizing again,” I cut him off. He’d apologized far too much in the short time I’d known him. He’d done so much that deserved apology.
Do I really want to know you?
“I owe you an explanation, at least,” he said.

The first scene in the book had me feeling bad for Trudy yet there was still a hot juicy & kind of funny sex scene. It was a roller of a rider as Trudy tries to figure out Will then throw in an Ex that won't take no for an answer. I didn't like how Trudy had to "Recap" what had just happened a few times throughout the book (I just read it I don't need to be told it again). Lots of hot juicy sex throughout. Lots of mystery and drama. The last scene in the book I wasn't thrilled with- it was a major event then to continue on with what they were doing seemed a big wrong. 
Ok ending.
