I was given a arc in exchange for my honest review.

We pick up with Paige and Vaughn after their accident and they need to find shelter from the storm, FAST. They find a creepy little cabin the middle of the woods and then from that moment have a fun filled weekend.
Just kidding, it's pure hell on Earth haha.
The two go through some crazy SHIT while in that cabin. It was hilarious and amusing as always. And equally as sexy. I think everyone needs to have sock showers now. Vaughn makes it HOT! the two constantly bicker and fight and Vaughn wonders where their relationship will go once they're back home. Paige knows it cant happen. So who wins? how will it all end? you will have to read to find out. :-)
Another AMAZING installment by they dynamic duo. Love these ladies and their stories. Look forward to more in the future <3

I was patiently waiting for the conclusion to this story and I loved how it all played out.

What can I say about Vaughn? OMG..he is something else. He and Paige are stranded after the accident and they have to lean on eachother to survive. Never mind the fact that their chemistry is off the charts.I love how Vaughn called her out on certain things, and here you can see where her insecurities lie. The situation was horrible, but when they finally gave into their attraction..wow! talk about hot :)

I enjoyed this book and it brought a smile on my face towards the end where see get a glimpse of the other characters from the other books and how they all are connected. I hope we get more in the near future about these group of friends :)

If you haven't read these novellas by these authors, I highly recommend them! You wont be disappointed :)

So, this is a second book in a two part erotic short by the amazing writing duo consisting of Angela Graham and S.E. Hall. If you have not checked out these ladies work, you must. There isn’t anything that I have not enjoyed by these two. Together and apart, I love all of their books. You must must must read Handled part 1 before reading this second part or you will be hella confused.

Paige and Vaughn are back and as I am sure you are aware, we were left with a big cliffy at the end of part 1.

“Brown has never looked more beautiful, Paige. Let me see those eyes again. Come on, Firecracker, show ‘em to me.”

So, Paige and Vaughn are stuck together out in the middle of nowhere in this book and Vaughn isn’t taking no for answer from Paige anymore. He wants all of her and is settling for nothing less.
“Argue with me again and I’ll fuck you into seeing things my way.”
I really do love these erotic shorts. They are fun fast reads and Vaughn and Paige seriously crack me up. Both stubborn and hilarious while still being so damn sexy!

“Gonna fuck you so goddamn good you won’t be able to walk when they find us,”

I really just love their story and I think Vaughn’s sweet side might surprise you! Sigh! He is too swoony!

I think Vaughn Stone just made love to me.

This short story is definitely a must a read. These two authors never disappoint me and I cannot wait to see what is next!

I completely loved this little duet.

Nothing beats a strong couple, feisty, funny, sexy, dirty - all that good stuff, then throw in a cabin and survival story, perfect banter, an Alpha male TO. DIE. FOR. with a terrific hea that's been wrapped up in an altogether really well written story and IMO what you get is...

PERFECTION!

More, more, more like this please!!

Young hurt h and H. Life hasn't been easy for either of them. He is a truck driver she works at a truck stop. She has a hard time opening up but after an accident she is ready to give him a chance.
He's Sexy, she is snarky and the passion and banter between the two is great.

Fantastic conclusion to Vaughn and Paige's story. Lots of sexy times and it was fun to read as Vaughn tore down all of Paige's walls. Definitely a read I recommend.

DISAPPOINTING

There was no need for this story to be split into two parts. The last book ended in a cliffhanger, and this one picked up from there. But nothing happened in this book. There were no aha moments, no profound discoveries, not even a declaration of love from either side..at all. It was just them spending time together in an odd situation, Vaughn and Paige having sex, snarky comments, the end. Nothing special at all.

To say I was excited to get this is an understatement! I needed to know how this erotic short ended! I am a huge fan of when Angela Graham and SE Hall collaborate and once again I absolutely LOVED it!

"There she is. Brown has never looked more beautiful, Paige. Let me see those eyes again. Come on, Firecracker, show 'em to me."

I was so scared as to what would happen after how part one ended. Would they both be ok? Would they still be as close? Can they make it past this? While, it was not easy for them I loved the way their story played out and how they got stranded together with nothing but each other to occupy their time!

"As long as there's breath in my body, no one will hurt you. We need shelter. That's the plan. Argue with me again and I'll fuck you into seeing things my way."

I love Vaughn! Like really, really love him. Maybe it is because as my co-blogger says I am "alpha horny" or maybe it is because he is so controlling and caring all the time. He has a great way of showing he cares while always showing his alpha tendencies! HOT!

"Paige, baby, better be looking to finish what you start, cause if I think for one second you want me inside you, that's exactly where the fuck I'. going. And I'll stay all goddamn night in that sweetness, babe. All night." "Promise?" "Kiss the shit out of me, woman."

What does every strong alpha man need . . . a strong woman who can put up with him and give as good as she gets. The best part of Paige is that she knows when to give Vaughn shit and when to give in and let him tend to her. She isn't willing to becoming weak just because she is with a strong man but she also understands the hotness that is giving into the raw sexuality of the alpha male! GO PAIGE!

"I think Vaughn Stone just made love to me."

I knew going in this book would not let me down. These two authors together work magic and I will forever buy and read anything they put out! Well done!

Yeah, Vaughn is the star of this story all on his own. He knew from the minute he saw his firecracker that there was a real spark and it was up to him to ignite the flame.

Paige is still a little hesitant in this one. I was ready to slap her. I mean come on!! Vaughn....bless him. Patience unlimited. The man carried her with his shoulder dislocated in the snow and cold for miles. He'd do anything to make sure she was safe and taken care of. Such a sweetheart. Paige tried to act tough, but with that charming smile and smart mouth coming her way, she was losing the battle. I was so glad she finally gave up the fight. How could anyone resist that mouth? Literally! The story is worth reading for just his mouth alone. He had a really great way with words and could paint a pretty vivid, hot picture.

After the accident, Vaughn and Paige are stuck in a cabin with no water or heat. They end up with one sleeping bag, a fire and skunks. Yep, a pantry full. But Vaughn charges on and makes the most of a bad situation. He also makes it really clear he wants more with Paige. He just had to hope Paige would be on board when they finally got back home.

Another good book from these two great writers.

This picks up exactly where Handled ended...on the side of the road. Vaughn and Paige have to find shelter during the blizzard and wait for someone to come looking for them.

Paige is still closed off towards Vaughn but he is determined to get her to open up. He knows there is a bond there and he just needs her to admit that she feels it too. He feels that she does want him but needs her to say the words and to trust him. Being stuck together in a cabin in the woods could be exactly what they need. She can not run from him. Will she try to? Can Vaughn get her to not only express her feelings with sex but with words?

I love, love, love these quickies! They are so fun, sexy and sassy. Vaughn and Paige's banter is hilarious but also gives Vaughn hints to the real Paige and he can not get enough of her. He fights back every step of the way and she puts up a good fight.

Quotes:

"Nothing Scout about me, babe. If there was I wouldn't be hard as hell right now, looking for places to bend you over and fuck ya in ways that'd scare wildlife away for miles."

"One day..." I hear him repeat stern and suddenly distant. "One day you'll see. Night, Firecracker."

"Don't waste your bullshit on me. You want it as much as I do."

I loved these characters the first time around, so I was very eager to start this book. Especially after that cliffhanger! I was glad that it literally picks up where the last book left off. Considering the severity of the accident they were in, I was surprised they weren't more banged up, but I was willing to overlook that. The main point was to see how their feelings towards one another changes while being secluded together with no help in site. I like how Vaughn tries to get Paige to see reason, and get her to trust in someone. Proving to her that not everyone has an interest in trying to hurt or wrong her. Vaughn manages to get Paige to do things she normally wouldn't, and I don't mean that in a sexual way. Even if they do manage to have some steamy times. And, believe it or not, they even wind up getting into more dire situations together. And I think that just manages to seal the deal for them. I'm glad everything works out for them in the end. It just shows that if you do open up, there could be great things waiting for you. I only wish there would be more Vaughn and Paige in the future.

This picks up where Handled left off, thank God! Paige and Vaughn are stranded. She's still trying to fight their connection, but he has her trapped. Literally. A blizzard and lack of food are enough to bring 2 people together, but add in a few brushes with death and creepy animals and you've got a winner!
I'm a sucker for a mouthy leading man and Vaughn is way up on my list. The way he says things just kills me! He's hotter and sexier in part 2, if that's even possible! And, Paige finally sees what's happening. I also loved that we see other characters from Steph and Angela's quickies! Yay!! The only downside is I want MORE! Come back.

"Don't worry, babe, there's one thing we still have, wreck be damned. You get my motor revving." He laughs.

If he thinks for one minute I'll be speaking to him, he's hootier than all the f***ing blowfish.

"I'll make you come for every smile you can manage, deal?"
"Deal." I sigh, then turn a painful grin to the crowd." Oh my God, how nice. Thank you!" Yes, that hurt.
"Easy, Sunshine, you're gonna sprain something." He swats my ass.

If you didn't think S.E. Hall and Angela Graham could get anymore awesome, you haven't read Handled Pt 2 yet! I absolutely loved Handled and it was my favorite of the books they've written together, but Pt 2.... what can I say? They completely outdid themselves!

We get more Vaughn... LOVE HIM! and Paige. I loved how things worked out and they were forced to be near each other and work through Paige and Vaughn's issues. There were steamy hot, and fall of the chair hilarious moments in this book and I loved it all!

Not only did I love how their story ended, but also getting to see a sneak peak into how all the other characters from Stirred Up and Packaged were doing as well.

These two are magnificent together and I absolutely love when they come together and create a little piece of book heaven for us readers!

If you have not yet read their books yet, go pick them up! Especially if you're looking for a hot, steamy, quick read. Simply amazing!

Vaughn and Paige just crashed Vaughn’s eighteen-wheeler. In a snowstorm. Wait, make that a blizzard. They have no phones, no radio, very little food and water…
But they survive. Together, in a hunter’s cabin. After facing challenges, some funny, others very tense, the two realize that their attraction can’t be denied.
Read and watch as the snow starts to melt… and not because of the roaring fire. ;)
I love SE Hall and Angela Graham! They work amazingly well together. The first chapter though… To me it stood out from all the rest. It seemed disorganized and the overuse of italics really distracted me.
But other than that, I was hooked. I started it last night, and read for about an hour, hour and a half and got to about 69%. It’s a really quick read and definitely a steamy one! Make sure you have an extra pair of panties on hand…
Four and a half stars for these two lovely women! I really hope we get more from them.

I grabbed this book on Amazon when it was free (may still be, unsure). I had just finished another book and wanted something short to fill my time until a pre-order was delivered. Anyway...

Given this book's title, I thought it would be a complete story, so imagine my surprise when the story leaves off at a MAJOR cliffhanger! Luckily, the 2nd (final) book was out so I grabbed it. I did invest in the characters and I cared what happened to them.

I'm going to share the same review on both books at once, but no spoilers. The story had a few issues - I thought, but it was true to life and worked in the end (for me). The sex, there is a LOT given it's length, is HOT! "Erotic Quickie" is definitely the correct subtitle! But I like my books hot, and if a real Vaughn Stone is out there, I want him to show up at my door pronto! Whew!

If you like tough, bitchy women, and hot men that go after them anyway...this is YOUR STORY! But make sure you get both books!

This review is for both book 1 and 2
I loved this book. It's a super quick and sexy read with lots of action!
Paige has had a rough ride, her mum has never been the best role model and this has Paige on permanent high alert. She has never felt loved by anyone but her cousin, so she lets no one in. Although sometimes, you don't have a choice who you let in. Some people manage to slowly un pick the shackles and creep in without you realising they have.
Vaughan is a rig driver. He is on the road for days at a time and really loves his job, even though he loves his job, it still gets a bit lonely being on the road sometimes.
He meets Paige through his best friend and roommate, who is actually seeing Paige's best friend and cousin ☺️
Will they get together? Will Paige stop pushing him away and open up? Will everything be smooth sailing for them both? Buy now to find out
Well worth the read, and super cheap too!

This is the continuation of Handled ... The story of Paige and Vaughn and picks up right where book one left off ... They were in an accident and are now stranded during a snow storm ... they make their way to a cabin ...

Another great read from Angela Graham and SE Hall ... When these two get together magic happens!!!

I love the witty banter between Paige and Vaughn and the sexual tension is crazy hot!!

Pick this one up today ... You won't be disappointed!!!

"Just who the f**k do you think you are, Vaughn Stone?"

" I'm a guy who doesn't buy your bulls**t, wants you with a fire he can't snuff out, and loves to call your f**king bluff. Now sit your fine a** down and tell me your interview answers. I got all the time in the world, Firecracker!"

After the cliffhanger that I was left with, I had to know what happened to Vaughn and Paige.

I loved that the characters remained true to themselves throughout their ordeal. There was more of Paige's quick wit and outlandish mouth. And then there was Vaughn with his dirty mouth and humor to level her out. There were a few tense moments in this book and I love how it forced the couple to dig deep and give the best of themselves.

Overall, this was a stellar conclusion to the story that started in Handled. I loved that I got to see the other couples that I fell in love with in Stirred Up and Packaged. The balance of humor, steam and tender moments was really well balanced and only added to the charm of the story. Kudos to S.E. Hall and Angela Graham for giving these characters an ending that was perfectly them.

I have been not so patiently waiting for this and made sure to read it on release day. Handled 2 continues all the sexiness from part one and even ups the ante. Vaughn's filthy mouth and cocky charm made me swoon more than once.

If you combine both stories, it will make for a nice, quick story that contains the normal elements of a novella series such as less character development and storyline but that is the point of all of Angela and SE's erotic quickies. They are fun and sexy, something you can easily read in a busy day to lift your spirits.

I think Handled is my favorites of the quickies and the conclusion didn't disappoint. More laughs, more sexy times, more fun! Highly recommended. 4.5 stars!

Ladies you did a great job. I won't lie I love to read long books but sometimes you just want a short story and this was awesome. Vaughan swooning all the way the man is just so delicious. Paige stubborn girl but she has to learn to open herself up more. And understand that there is people who will fight for you. I have been a fan of SE Hall for awhile now and adore her. I used to beta read but I have not done that in a while for her. But I do know this I turned in to a friend I love her alot and will always be there for her. We actually have a lot in common. And Angela Graham I did beta read once and have been a fan of hers to. You both have done a brilliant job coming together to write these books.

If you enjoyed Wallbanger by Alice Clayton or Tangled by Emma Chase you will defiantly enjoy this book. The jabs throw between these two are great and the sex is even better.

This book picks up right where Handled: An Erotic Quickie left off, and let me tell you these two make getting stuck in a snow storm interesting! Vaughn had his hands full with Paige the "firecracker".

I really liked Handled and was looking forward to the second book and to finding out how that great cliffhanger played out and I was glad I didn't have to wait too long to read more of these two main characters banter and chemistry! They were great in this book too! I only wish this one had been a little longer! I wasn't ready to stop reading about them! :) I can totally see more scenarios with this couple in their unique jobs and I just really enjoyed reading their dialogue together! Another great job by this dynamic pair of authors! Now I wonder about Harlow and Oakley....hmmmm...will we get their story? I sure hope so!

5 HOT-JawBreaker Stars!

Handled2 is the continuation of Vaughn and Paige's hot and hilarious love story.
I really enjoyed reading this novella. I can't put it down and I have a lot of LOL moment.
I adore Paige, her stubbornness, being independent and a smart mouth! I really prefer that kind of heroine in a book and I see a little bit of myself in her. Vaughn, well I call him "the man", he really knows how to handle Paige and he is just so HOT!
I really had fun reading this and I wish it is a full length book.
I am so looking forward for another awesome SE Hall and Angela Graham book!
