"I BRAKE FOR BAD BOYS"

I BRAKE FOR BAD BOYS is the latest Bad Boy anthology by Brava. They reteam popular authors Lori Foster and Janelle Denison with hot new writer Shannon McKenna.

In DRIVE ME WILD, it is Erica's turn to visit the porn store, although she doesn't count on the fact that Ian Conrad is on to her plot and the only person who is going to fulfill her fantasy is him. He gets her to agree to a weekend, but will Ian convince Erica that he wants more? This was my favorite of the three novellas that Lori Foster has written about Erica and her friends. Ian Conrad is the perfect guy to break through the defenses that Erica has erected over the years.

In SOMETHING WILD, Eric Wilde has been fantasizing about Jill Richardson ever since she came to work for his advertising agency three months earlier. Unfortunately, each date invitation has been turned down and time is running out on Jill's contract with his agency. Janelle Denison really cranks up the heat in this story. Even though it is cold outside, you might want to crank up the air conditioning to read this one.

In TOUCH ME, Jonah has been trying to convince Tess for months to go out with him. But the masseuse has a firm policy not to date her clients and is equally determined not to get involved with Jonah. How will Jonah break down the walls that Tess has erected around herself and convince her that she is the perfect woman for him? In Shannon McKenna's TOUCH ME, you can see why Shannon is fast becoming a reader favorite and will tug at your heart as you see Jonah and Tess try to overcome her insecurities.

I BRAKE FOR BAD BOYS is a fun, steamy anthology that will make you want your own personal bad boy. Lori Foster continues to show why nobody does novellas better then she does in her story. Janelle Denison turns up the heat in hers. I think I saw steam coming from the pages. At the same time, Shannon McKenna makes you alternate between reaching for a tissue or some ice water.

I am getting spoiled by Brava anthologies because I know when I pick up one that I will love all the stories and not just one or two. I can't wait for the next one.

Summary

"Drive Me Wild" by Lori Foster
Strong, assertive, and wisecracking, Erica Lee is used to having the upper hand in business and in her love life. The problem is, most men are too intimidated by her to stick around for long. When her best friends dare her to find a sex slave to fulfil her every whim, Erica sets her sights on sexy, mischievous Ian Conrad. The dominating Ian isn't afraid of a strong woman like Erica—and he's been waiting for an opportunity to indulge in a few fantasies with her. Soon he's got Erica at his mercy, turning every request into a tantalizing match of seduction that leaves her begging for more...and loving every minute of it...

"Something Wilde" by Janelle Denison
Jill Richardson made a vow never to mix business with pleasure...but that was before spending long days working side-by-side with the devastingly handsome Eric Wilde, a man who is rumored to live up to his name. Eric makes no secret of wanting Jill in his bed and he's offering a tempting promise—at work they can maintain a professional relationship. After hours, however, they'll engage in erotic games that go beyond all the boundaries to a place where every forbidden desire is fulfilled, every seductive pleasure explored...

"Touch Me" by Shannon McKenna
Tess Langley's been hurt by love before. That's why the voluptuous brunette prefers to keep her look low- maintenance and concentrate on her work as a message therapist. She can tell by the scratch marks on gorgeous Jonah Markham's back that the rich playboy is exactly the sort of man she should avoid, but when he offers to pay her an outrageous sum of money to tend to his guests at his luxurious mountain hideaway, she can't say no. Except Jonah has no intention of sharing Tess with anyone else, and though he's promised to be a good boy, she has no idea just how good he can be...
