Opposites Attract

Sapphire Rhodes has never considered herself a risk taker. No way! She is way too by the book to ever get involved in any kind of bet until one of her best friends challenged her to find her...perfect hunk.

Her perfect male worked with his hands and didn't mind a little sweat or dirt if the job came down to it. Yeah, her hunk definitely didn't get into shape by working behind a desk. She had given up all hope of finding him until she walked past Brian.

Brian Terry wasn't the man his friends thought he was. Sure, he loved having a good time like the next guy, but he was ready for more. Late nights at the club were becoming a thing of the past. He never thought he would find the right woman worth changing for until he spotted Sapphire coming off the elevator.

Opposites attract...and when two people meet unexpectedly, fireworks explode and they can't help but to drive each other wild!


Too Hot to Touch

Nash Wentworth knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help falling in love with Shauntie Kane. She was the perfect woman in his eyes: Intelligent, beautiful and independent. His life should have been perfect; however, there was one little problem. She had dated one of his friends and wasn't interested in going down the same road with him.

Shauntie Kane was as strong willed as a woman could be and didn't mind saying what was on her mind. This meant Nash had to do a lot more than use his good looks to impress her and work his way into her life.

Nash isn't turned off by Shauntie's bluntness; in fact, it is a turn on for him. Can Nash's determination make Shauntie see that he is able to handle anything she tosses his way?

Nash and Shauntie make an odd but cute couple in Marie Rochelle’s - Hunks: Too Hot to Touch. Nash is there to fix her roof and Shauntie is definitely over men right now; no one appeals to her after her last relationship. But somehow Nash’s handsomeness and persistence is slowly breaking down her well-built walls. I enjoyed this book; there were some points where the story seemed to drag, but quickly picked

Accept My Love: Sasha

Enough was Enough!

Sasha Williams was tired of dreaming about having a future with her gorgeous and single boss…Sterling Hamilton. He wasn’t interested in the same things as her…not in the least. She wanted romance and candlelight dinners while he wanted her to work late at his family owned business.

He was taking her for granted and she was tired of it.

As soon as the new promotional campaign was over for Sleep Softly Bedding and Mattress.

Sasha was turning in her letter of resignation and there was nothing Sterling could do to make her stay… or was there?

This was an enjoyable book to read. I loved the fact that the characters were real, they both had their own insecurities, but didn't let that stop them from getting what they wanted. The insecurities made both characters more believable and likable. We meet Sterling and Sasha during a promotional campaign for Sterling's store. Both have feelings for each other, yet both are afraid of what will happen if they

A Rancher's Promise

Ever since her friend Stuart suggested he wanted to hide her at his aloof older brother’s ranch, Amerie Palmer was truly expecting the worst and almost backed out at the last minute. However, the man who opened the front door was the most handsome and sexiest male she had ever laid eyes on.

But Kyle Houston had been hurt in the past and his mistrust of women ran deeper than his love for his ranch.

Amerie knew she should stay away from Kyle because he wasn’t being very welcoming to her. However, she just felt beneath the tough exterior there was a man who craved love and she could be the woman who would give it to him.

Alpha Male Incorporated

The Golden Rule in being a Bodyguard 101: Never get involved with a client no matter how unbelievably sexy she might be.

Personal bodyguard Jax Irizarry retired from the business ten years ago and opened up his own company called Alpha Male Incorporated. He was content no longer being thrown into the danger zone and got enough pleasure from working behind a desk. So, why did this best friend Frank Chantel want to hire him to protect his goddaughter/singer Sahara 'Coco' Chantel?

Sahara Chantel reluctantly agreed to a bodyguard to please her uncle. She was more focused on getting her singing career off the ground not an overzealous fan. Anyway, it wasn’t like she was going to be attracted to her bodyguard because weren’t most of them older men with gray hair?

Sahara's preconceived notions about bodyguards were shot to hell when she walked inside her den and spotted the tall, blond and sexy Jax Irizarry waiting for her.

The title and description of the storyline intrigued me, but unfortunately I was disappointed. I found Storm to be borderline abusive. While he didn’t physically hurt Syleena, his habit of talking down to her, hauling her around when he wanted her to do something, and being downright cruel when he felt he was wronged rubbed me the wrong way. On a side note, if he “chuckled” on
