Sheyna Simmons hates to lose. Unfortunately, so does her sexy, domineering boss. She and Jace Beaumont have been competing with each other since grammar school, but ever since she showed up in a skimpy maid's outfit to pay off her latest bet, she's noticed Jace can't take his eyes off her. Good thing she'd never fall for a playboy.... But when she gets in a jam at a bachelorette auction, it's Jace who agrees to pay $50,000 for a forty-eight-hour getaway with Sheyna in Las Vegas. And he has every intention of collecting his prize—even if getting Sheyna in his bed means he'll never want her to leave....
Angie Daniels grew up on the South side of Chicago, Illinois. At a very early age, she spent nights creating soap operas with her younger sister until the two drifted off to sleep. Never did she realize that her longtime dream to become a published author would someday become a reality.
In 1999 Angie decided it was finally time to return to her love of writing. She took a year off to write her first book Intimate Intentions, which started off as a simple romance novel and later escalated into 542 pages of romantic suspense. After two submissions, Angie was offered a four-book contract with Genesis Press and her first book was released in 2001. In 2003, she also signed with BET Arabesque, and Kensington's Dafina imprint in 2004. In 2006, she added Parker Publishing, Aphrodisia and Harlequin Kimani Romance to her list. In 2010 she will release her twentieth novel. Angie currently resides in Missouri.

I loved the chemistry between Jace & Sheyna....it was like molten lava! I am so happy this series was recommended to me...I would have missed out on greatness of I didn't read these books!
The Beaumont men are so sexy. They seem to love hard, but slow on the uptake to get together. They mean well but can occasionally get wrong. Love the story with Shay and Jace, it took Jim a minute to get it right , but did well when he got it. More read with Ms Daniel’s and the Beaumont men
This is book 2 of the Beaumont Series about the oldest brother Jace ans Shauna Simmons. They were childhood friends she always had a crush on him which grew into love as she grew older. He was the rich play boy who broke many hearts but became attracted to Shayna. Jade made a winning bid for her in a modeling contest that she sponsored every year for the community for a trip to Los Vegas where she was to surrender to him totally for the weekend and what a weekend it was and they attraction grew more for each other. She wanted a commitment which he had trouble doing and she walked away from him. In the end they both came to their senses and he bought her the farm house with a the white picket fence she had always dreamed of got married in a beautiful ceremony and left for Alaska on a eleven day honeymoon. Good read.
I already knew I was going to enjoy this book, since Jace and Sheyna were introduced in the first Beaumont book, and I wasn't disappointed. Both characters are strong-willed, stubborn, and hilarious! Both of them are fighting the attraction that they feel for each other. And the only way it seems that they can do that, is to try and best each other. The problem is that they've known each other all their lives and the feelings run so deep that eventually neither can hold out!
I was rooting for this couple from the beginning and loved every minute of their roller coaster relationship. This one is definitely a keeper.
Jace and Sheyna have known one another since childhood. Sheyna shows up on his door step wearing a sexy maid costume( she lost a game) and it was on and popping from there. Sheyna was attracted to him, but was putting up a good front especially since he was her boss. Jace was known as a playboy which made putting her feelings out there a no-no. I loved this book by Angie Daniels and have become a fan since being introduced to her work. Get the book, you'll enjoy reading it.
Fast paced, contemporary hot romance with realistic likeable characters. I though the hero Jace, was stubbornly selfish and blockheaded for much of the book, but I guess that describes lots of men nowadays, yet? lol. He was sexy though and the heroine could handle him. In the end, he came around and delivered big time to the heroine (and the reader) so all good.
Good sequel to the first Beaumont book. Many typos and repeated scenes, but all in all it was a good book. I enjoyed the way that Sheyna and Jace's relationship unraveled. Friendship is the key to a good relationship.
