Dirty, rich one night stand.
That’s all it was supposed to be. Her. Him. Pleasure. And then a fast goodbye. He’s a stranger. And yet, he’s not. She knows him even though he doesn’t know her.
He’s the powerful attorney, now world-renowned after coming off the trial of a century which was publicized across the country. And I’m one of the reporters that sat in his courtroom for six full weeks.
I watched him, studied him, got to know him from afar which isn’t hard since I know his exact brand of confidence, arrogance, and wealth.
I know his type. I’ve dated his type. Which is why when I happen to come face to face with him weeks later, when sparks fly and heat simmers between us, I know what happens if I say “yes” to Reese Summer.
I know he’ll taste like sin and sex, even before he kisses me.
I know he’ll feel like pleasure and passion, even before he touches me.
I know he’ll demand more than I want to give, and yet, because I dare to give myself to him, the result will be deliciously hot.
I know that I will not leave his bed without being utterly, completely sated.
And I know that I will leave the next morning anyway.
And so, I do.
And so, he follows.
And as the chase begins my question becomes: Is Reese Summer THE one or is he really just a dirty, arrogant lie that should have stayed a one night stand?
He's the attorney trying to get a NOT GUILTY for his client in the trial of the century.
The client supposedly killed his pregnant mistress.
But Reese believes he's innocent.
Then there's Cat.
She's writing a crime column and she's in that courtroom every day.
And she's also addicted to that coffee shop next door.
That's where she meets Reese.
Instant attraction on both sides.
But she can't start something with him. She needs him for her job. She needs an interview with him and his client.
And he thinks she might be stalking him to get inside info.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO CAT & REESE???
WILL THERE BE A HEA??
WILL THERE BE A HEA??
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺
Great Lawyer Romance!!!
At first you might think - ugh - a book about lawyers - there will be so much courtroom and lawyer talk ...
But nope. It's not all lawyery. It's a very adorable and funny and sexy and exciting romance!
I really enjoyed reading it.
Of course the main thing next to our darlings' new relationship is the crime/trial part. We need to find out if Reese's client is guilty - and if not - who is the killer?
But it didn't bother me at all. It was a great story. I wanted to go back to court every day - to see what would happen. I wanted to see our hot, sexy Reese back in his suit killing the prosecution!
And the relationship part. Adorable.
We don't have the usual manwhore and commitment-phobe guy.
He's really great - so sweet and ugh - I loved Reese!!!!
And Cat - she's sweet too. Sweet, smart - and scared. It takes a while for her to trust this whole thing with Reese. But the reader has an amazing time watching them fight for their happily ever after and for the truth in the murder case!
I loved the story - I would've loved it even more with 50 pages less. It was a bit too much here and there. (The first sex scene takes SEVERAL chapters from getting in the door to the morning after! Way too much bla bla before the actual act!)
But I still really enjoyed reading the book.
It was a really smart and beautiful lawyer romance!
I also loved that we got to see the whole Walker gang again! They're helping with the case and Cat is good friends with one of the wives!
Were there some tiny things I didn't love-love?
First I have to say that I think the title of the book is totally weird. It cheapens the story a bit - it's just weird in my opinion. Nothing is dirty and nothing is a one-night stand and .. hm. Yes, it says that it was supposed to be a dirty one-night stand, but then why call the book that if it doesn't turn out to be like that - readers, scrolling down amazon might think there's no happy end or it's just a cheap porn story :/
And I also don't like the cover - I'm a bit weird about it when the people on the cover don't match the people in the book and the scene doesn't match either.
And the blurb. It makes the story sound as if we're not in the courtroom anymore because the trial is over - but it is SO not over - almost all of the book is about the trial and the courtroom.
DIRTY RICH ONE NIGHT STAND was a very adorable & exciting lawyer/courtroom romance!
Run to your nearest amazon for your own Reese - this one is MINE!!!☺
• EXCERPT •
“You’re as perfect as I knew you would be,” he says, his voice managing to be both
sandpaper and silk on my nerve endings, as he adds, “and almost as naked as I want you to
be.”
The idea that he has wanted me as much as I have wanted him does funny things to my
stomach, but more so, delivers an unexpected wave of illogical vulnerability. This is sex. The
end. I don’t want or need to feel anything more. I want and need him naked and fucking me
now, fast, hard. That’s safe. Desperate to find that safe place, to shift the control from him to
me, I push to my toes, my breasts molding to his chest, and press my lips to his lips. They are
warm, and he is hard everywhere I am soft.
And his response to my kiss, the answering moan I am rewarded with, is white-hot fire in my
blood that he ignites further with a deep, sizzling stroke of his tongue. He slants his mouth over
mine, deepening the connection, kissing me with a fierceness no other man ever has, but then
some part of me has known from moment one that he is like no man I have ever known. Which
explains why he is everything I want. And nothing about this night is what I expected, any more
than this man is anything I can control.
But there is something intensely arousing about the idea of trying.
As if claiming I am reaching for the impossible, he molds me closer, his hand between my
shoulder blades, his tongue playing wickedly with mine, but I meet him stroke for stroke,
arching into him. He cups my ass and pulls me solidly against his erection. He wins this one.
Now I am the one moaning, arching into him, and I welcome the intimate connection. I burn for
the moment he will be inside me.
But I also want him to burn for this just as much as I do, and I need to touch this man. Really,
really, need to touch him. My hand presses between us, and I stroke the hard line of his shaft.
Reese tears his mouth from mine, pressing me hard against the pillar supporting the window
again, and when his hands leave my body, when his palms press to the concrete above me
again, I sense his withdrawal is about control. I was winning. I confirm that as reality when our
eyes lock, and the dash of fire in his eyes is lit by one part passion and one part challenge.
“If I slide my fingers between your legs right now,” he says, “are you wet for me? Are you ready
for me?”
“Why don’t you find out for yourself?” I dare him, testing him, pushing him.↓ Links to the Book & Author ↓
