Price of a Kiss

I don’t care what my cousin says; I am not the queen of impossible relationships. I mean, just because my last boyfriend tried to kill me and left a bit of a scar on my neck, then forced me to move across the country and legally change my name to Reese Randall to escape him, does not mean—

Oh, who am I kidding? For a freshman in college, I have to have the worst dating track record ever.

It’s no wonder love is the last thing on my mind when Mason Lowe enters my life. But the chemistry between us is like bam! Our connection defies logic. And he’s just so freaking hot. Being around him makes me feel more alive than I’ve ever felt before. I even like bickering with him. He could be my soul mate...except for one teeny tiny glitch.

He's a gigolo.

Boy, do I know how to pick them.


*************

Reese is trying to start her life over in a new place at a new college. When she lays eyes on the most beautiful man she has ever seen her body sparks to life. Unfortunately, every rich lonely woman in Waterford feels the same way. Reese is cursed by falling for the wrong men. All Mason wants to do is take care of his family and he  is doing that the only way he knows how by being a gigolo. For the first time in his life, he wants more with a girl but he does not want to put her through the ringer with his lifestyle so he settles for being friends. Lots of sexual tension between these two. It  is very heartbreaking the way Mason is treated. Some scary, dramatic scenes. Some hot steamy juicy sex. Fabulous ending.

Quotes:

"really, why was he scowling? Did I honestly stink that bad? Or did he just not like making sparks with me?"

"Don't say hard. You just sent my mind straight to dirty girl land."

"I couldn't wait to meet his cherry-popping, cougar pimp landlady again. Said no one ever."

"Well played, skanky pimp landlady, well played."

"Dear god, I was in love with a gigolo."

Excerpt

“I paid the fee, if that’s what you’re here about,” Madison starts. Jack looks to her, smile flashing on for a moment.

“Let me talk to her. Give me one second.”

“Okay,” Madison giggles. He grabs my elbow and pulls me in the other direction.

“Is that how you kissed me?” I ask, nearly tripping as he pulls me along. “Golly gee, it looks kind of mildly fucking embarrassing! No wonder up my appointments - ”

“Whoa, I think you overestimate me, shitlord. Last time I checked all I did was be in the wrong place at the right time. I saw you and had to - ”

“Stalk me.”

“ - delicately approach you. In a sideways manner. From behind. Without being seen at all. For ten minutes.”

“Why are you even out? I thought you were sick.”

“I was. See, it’s this thing called an immune system -”

He holds up his hand and rubs his eyes. “Okay, stop. Shut all systems down and just. Stop. Talking.”

“Why?”

“It’s annoying.”

“That’s never stopped me before!”

“Why did you follow me?”

“I was…curious?”

He looks down at the jar of frosting I clutch in my hands. “Are you eating that out of the can?”

“Are you the king of stupid questions?” I fire back. “Of course I am! Frosting is the ambrosia of the gods. God, if you’re into that religious thing. Are you religious? Somehow I get the feeling the only church you’d join is the church of self-worship. Your body is your temple. Work it, boy.”

“What are you saying?” He snarls.

“You’re blabbering!”

“At least I’m not whoring!”

"I'm working right now, okay? I’m getting paid. So you need to just piss off and go to whatever immature party you were going to in the first place.”

“How’d you know I’m going to a party?”

“The receipt for red plastic cups sticking out of your jacket. Your eyeliner. Girls don’t make eyeliner wings that big unless they plan on drinking.”

“Touché. You’re smarter than I gave you credit for.”

“And you’re far more annoying than I first suspected. If I’d known you’d stalk me like all the others, I never would’ve kissed you, even as payback.”

“Seriously, you kiss everyone like that though! It was nothing special.”

“Exactly. It was nothing special. So back off and leave me alone.”

********************

I stayed up all night and read this book in one sitting it's that good!
It's a high school setting and there is no sex but I hope that doesn't detour any of you from reading it.
The banter between Isis & Jack is out of this world. Isis is Hilarious & the things that come out of her mouth is probably what wouldn't let me put the book down because I wanted to know what she was going to say next. Isis has gone through some bad stuff for a teenage girl. She seems to tell is like it is & she meets her match in Jack Hunter. Jack is too good looking for his own good. He is the "Ice Prince" all cold & unemotional. Jack has had bad stuff happen to him as well making him the way he is. Isis's attitude is melting the "Ice Prince" but things are a mess to say the least. Cliff Hanger ending. 2 more books in the series.

Quotes:

"I wake up in Satan's buttonhole. Everything is white-white walls, white beds, white light. Or Narnia. It could be Narnia. Did I die and go to Narnia? Because that would be rad. But then I see the IV attached to my arm and hear the steady 'beep-beep' of my heart monitor and all hope deflates out of me quickly. Nope. Satan's buttonhole, aka a hospital."

"War? No, I'm not fighting anybody. Well, I have to fight on a daily basis not to marry myself, but no. I'm not at war with anybody."

The day Preston Drake figured out that wealthy women paid well for a set of tight abs and a pretty face his life turned around.

The run down rat-infested trailer he had shared with his alcoholic mother and three younger siblings was now only a place he visited to pay the bills and stock the pantry with food. 

He no longer worried about his family starving or living without electricity. The money he made entertaining rich older women more than covered his family’s needs and his own. He had it all figured out. Except…

There was this girl.

She was as innocent as he was tainted.

Amanda Hardy wished her knees didn’t get weak when Preston walked into a room. She hated the fact her heart raced when he flashed his smile in her direction. He had a different girl in his bed every night. He was the kind of boy a smart girl ran from. So, why was she coming up with ways to get close to him? Even when it was obvious he wanted to keep her at a distance.

Maybe her heart knew something the world didn’t. Maybe Preston Drake was more than just a pretty face.

***************

At first Preston is just a Man-Whore taking what Amanda offered him with no compassion. Amanda knew what she was getting into. Turns out there's so much more to Preston that he keeps hidden however it will bite him in the ass eventually. Lots of emotion. Some hot juicy sex scenes. A fabulous ending! This is the first book I read in this series which turns out to be the last book ~ there are 3 more books before this one and you get glimpse of each of the previous couples in this book.

"I was pretty sure he could bring me to an orgasm just by talking dirty in my ear."

Confessions of an Alli Cat

Thirty-five year-old Allison "Alli" Lancaster has it all--a fabulous job, a beautiful 15 year-old daughter, a hilarious BFF and a gorgeous house with a pool and Jacuzzi in an exclusive Las Vegas neighborhood. What she doesn't have is a husband, because she kicked her lousy, cheating ex to the curb nine months ago. Since then, Alli has paid her dues with seemingly endless self-improvement and seemingly endless mourning. Now she's ready to move on and try new things. 

Alli's idea of "trying new things" is nothing like that devil-of-a-best-friend of hers. Somehow, Sara, the devil of a best friend, talks Alli into trying out a sex toy, sleeping with a younger man and letting a stranger in a lab jacket put hot wax on a place that should never, ever, ever see wax. And that's only the beginning. 

Alli never saw her life going quite like this. She also never thought she'd meet someone else who had the very real potential to change her life forever. 

But she did. 

Enter the new guy. He's gorgeous, refined and mature. He's also marriage material. But that poses a problem for Alli, who renounced the institution of marriage when she renounced her ex. What's a girl to do?

They say that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But what the heck happens when you can't leave Vegas? Well, you spin the wheel, of course. You play the game and let the chips fall where they may. 

Alli just hopes she can find them all.

*********

Hilarious meets Hot!

This book is so funny I was giggling out loud while reading it.

But it was also hot hot hot!

I never wanted this book to end.

It's one fumble after another and I found myself cringing when Alli found herself in situations that I could see coming a mile away but there was no stopping it. Alli makes the best of every one of those situations and it turns out to be hilarious. 

THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK!

Quotes:

"Her kind of crazy is like the avocado kind of crazy- the good kind."

"Welcome to Crazy Town. I hope you enjoy your stay."

"Today starts the liberation of Allison. Or at least her too-hah."

"I laugh at the thought that a beaver is going to stimulate my beaver."

"Yep, I'm gonna ride him like a runaway bull tonight, No two ways about it."

"Oh, you flatter! If either of us swung that way, we'd be perfect together. But, alas, I'm a sausage lover, as are you. No tacos for us."

"I'm in love with his grin. I want to find a luxury apartment in SoHo or some equally cool neighborhood and co-habitate with it and have its little grin babies. That's how much I love it."

" "Not now, Sara." I say through gritted teeth. "I'm apologizing to my vagina." "
