She's a strong, sexy, single woman who brings home a big paycheck but still hasn't found the right man to rock her world. Loneliness isn’t an option and so, on her travels, she test-drives the men whom she fancies while still maintaining a few basic rules regarding passion and sex. But when she encounters two French men in Paris who have little respect for the rules, she discovers that sometimes, breaking the rules can be worth the intense pleasure that is sure to result…

Review:

For those who love a book about the sex and the sex alone this is your book. Not much story to it... For what it is it is good and has a lot of potential. Wish there was more. For a short it is ok. Maybe we will get more out of the next one.

Review:

I have only read graphic novels based on book I've read up until this point. This one was OK and had pretty art work, but was just lacking the proper story set up for me.

It was a lot more sex than story. I also find it strange that Vlad's character is set up to where he never remembers the sex. Its a good fantasy world with a lot of potential but lacked a lot for me.

Review:

Could Have been a good book but was solely about sex. No real relationship going on. The characters did not develop at all.

The book had potential but was too centered around sex. It would have helped to know the characters you read about. Not impressed.

Summary:

 

Bright, beautiful Attorney, Charlotte Christiansen has never lost a court case. She’s built a reputation as a cool, on the rise lawyer while trying to escape the ‘naughty cheerleader’ pictorial in American Jock magazine that she posed for to pay her way through law school.

She shares the top floor of a historic San Diego building with her best friends from college who happen to be two very male, very sexy Special Forces operatives. Her ex is a celebrity NFL quarterback who could pass for a Viking God. She’s surrounded by hot men but her life revolves around work and she doesn’t have time for love or sex.

Until Alexander Bly, the stop-the-clock gorgeous, billionaire publishing magnate becomes her newest client at the law firm. He’s the man responsible for the magazine cover that turned Charlotte into everyman’s sex fantasy. Bly has had women and the world at his beck and call, but no woman has ever rocked his world. Charlotte is about to. When they come together the desire and sex are white-hot and all-consuming, but falling in love takes them completely by surprise.

As Charlotte handles Bly’s lawsuit against Huang Worldwide Corporation, scary, smooth and sexy Jamey Huang kidnaps her. But, Huang doesn’t want Bly’s billions, he wants Charlotte’s secret, former lover. Legal Action is a sexy romance filled with burn-up-the-pages sex, tender love and witty, sharp-tongued characters with a little espionage thrown in for even more spicy fun.

The novella is part one of the Surrendering Charlotte Chronicles.

Review:

 

This novella is short leaving you wanting more. I liked the lead in her lawyer role. The ending was a shock. I would have loved more background with the lead and her 2 loft mates. She also needed more interaction with them. Especially with it ending the way it did. I was not a fan of the way it did.

 

I was not a fan of the lead male characters, way to predictable. Would have also liked more details in the kidnapping. This book was not what it could be but I will continue reading to find out what happens next.

Review:

 

A very short start to a four part series. Great background on Nicole the lead. Humorous and full of drama. No information given on Logan though leaving many questions. I wanted more for him.

 

Easy to love Nicole, but with no knowledge of Logan how do we connect to his character. Hoping for more in the next part.
