Hot Boss, Wicked Nights by Anne Oliver

Hot Boss, Wicked Nights is book # 6 of the Undressed by the Boss Series by Harlequin presents.

Our MC, Kate has a demure upbringing which has significantly impacted her ability to attract the opposite sex. This coupled with the fact that she was hurt by her idiotic ex and she has just near given up. Nearing the 30 year mark she decides to throw caution to the wind and jump a sexy stranger. Do I think it was worth it for Kate to abandon her morals for a seductively hot and passionate night with a stranger (probably not, but it was entertaining).

Harlequin novels are very straight forward and you can usually tell the plot line from off the bat. Was it predictable- uhh yeah, was it laugh out loud funny- you bet, did I enjoy Kate squirming realizing she did the horizontal tango with her new boss you betcha šŸ™‚

This was a quick and flirty read with no frills or fuss and right to the point. I got this during my Harlequin phase many moons ago and still like to watch the covers and read the blurbs when I am in the mood for some simplistic yet steamy romances.

Bare Necessities by Marie Donovan

Confession- Bare necessities introduced me to the “brother’s friend are forbidden” unwritten bro code and I loved it. For a Harlequin novel this was sultry and sexy without being cheesy and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I loved the premise of Bridget being a lingerie designer with sinful curves instead of the stick thin figures the industry has been forcing down our throats (Yes you Victoria’s Secret!). Bridget’s major clientele happen to be of the sexier but still legit professional of stripping so it’s no secret that when Adam (her brothers smoking hot friend) comes for a surprise visit he mistakes her for a stripper.

Poor Adam….. he has always harbored secret feelings for for Bridget’s sexy curvaceous body and now that he gets a sneak peek, papa wants the whole package!

Bridget was nothing like he rememberedā€¦But everything he imagined

I liked that Bridget was relatable and her emotions were honest. We saw all of Bridget’s insecurities, her secret hopes and her wish for love. Overall, Bare Necessities was a quick and pleasant read full of big dreams, sassy strippers and family drama! .
