Leave Me Breathless by Cherrie LynnMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
My secret thing (or not so secret, depending who you talk to) is that I've always loved bad boys. On tv, in movies, in books, in my head...my only stipulation has always been that they're never as bad as they LOOK like they are.
Lately the best place to find men like this is in contemporary romance/erotica. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a tattooed, pierced, goateed hunk of hotness with a gravelly voice and an ability to screw you absolutely senseless.
So without further ado, let's meet Seth, or "Ghost", as his friends call him. He's a tattoo artist, musician in a death metal band, covered in ink and carrying a whole bunch of baggage. The requisite gravelly voice and supernatural sexxing ability is there (in SPADES, I might add) and with a restored '69 GTO and very interesting piercing I would like to have Ghost all to myself.
Macy, his love interest, is almost the perfect foil for him. Yin to his yang, so to speak. I don't think they would ever be able to go to a concert together, but hey, my husband doesn't like Depeche Mode and I still married him.
The writing is good, the sex is steamy and the H/h are realistic - not much more a girl can ask for when looking for an entertaining way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
I usually read historical romances where an HEA is the standard. It takes a bit of getting used to when switching to something closer to erotica - the endings are more of a "Happy For Now". This is the first book I've read by this author and based on this one I'm going to go snag her backlist. This title is the third of a series, it seems. Another bonus - a series entry that reads like a stand alone!
Thanks to my friend Catherine for a truly great recommendation -- we really should read these kinds of books more often! ;D
