HOW TO MAKE A
Mix one wholesome good girl with one very naughty boy.
Add sexy treats and satin sheets...then turn on the heat.
VONNA HARPER
Virgin Afternoon
It's been a long time since Lara had a man in her garage, but as her late husband Spence's best friend, Bryan, checks out her truck, she can't help but notice he still has that tan, athletic build from college. If she could only get her hands on his body. She needs to move on from Spence's death -- into Bryan's powerful arms, or at least into his pants. When she invites him in for a beer, she doesn't plan to let him leave -- not that he wants to. Sex with conservative Spence left a lot to the imagination, but her naughty afternoon with Bryan is one she'll never forget.
LENA MATHEWS
Stud Muffin Wanted
According to a magazine quiz, Karon is a Little Miss Goody Two-shoes. So what if she can only check off five "bad-girl" behaviors? Her friend Jacque convinces her to make her own sexy wish list. Mmm...#22, with a side of #9...and a whole lot of #1. Now all she needs is a stud.
Hunky Tristan has his own list -- and Karon's at the top. When he overhears her conversation, he wants to wrap his muscular arms around her luscious curves and slide his thick...well, now he just needs to convince her he's the man for the job. But when he does, they conquer every steamy move she desired...and add a few naughty tricks of their own.
RUTH D. KERCE
Virgin Seeks Bad-Ass Boy
Alice has been watching bad boy Caleb since he moved in. Tall, built, and irresistibly confident, he's perfect...for taking her virginity. One peek at him pounding away at a buxom blonde sprawled across his motorcycle, and Alice has been fantasizing -- her skirt flipped up, him taking her rough and hard from behind. So she marches right across the street and asks him. He refuses at first, but he's too impressed by her gutsiness, and too aroused by the idea of kissing her pouty lips and feeling her soft naked body writhing underneath him. If she wants passion, he'll give it to her...and much, much more.

About the author
Vonna Harper
151 books143 followersUnder her "real" name, Vonna Harper has published more fiction than she can keep track of . These include category romances for the major players as well as the 'juicy' stuff. She also penned a series of well-received Native American historicals. One earned her finalist status in both the Women Writing the West Willa award and Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association. Before discovering romances, both erotic and otherwise, Vonna 'confessed' all kinds of nonsense for the confession magazines.
When asked about erotica research, she insists, "Of course I've time-traveled to the ancient Everglades, infiltrated bondage strongholds, done wilderness search and rescue, and spent a night trapped in a workout gym with Mr. Universe. How can I possibly write about something I haven't experienced?"
As for day jobs, "I've been a commercial pilot, brain surgeon, worked as a white-water river guide, bee keeper, snake charmer, and garbage collector."

Virgin Afternoon by Vonna Harper
Lara and Bryan dated in college. Lara married his friend. Bryan married Carol. Lara's husband recently died from cancer. Bryan and Carol are divorcing. Lara and Bryan hook up. I didn't really like this story...can you tell?
Stud Muffin Wanted by Lena Matthews
I do enjoy well-done humor with y erotica. Karon failed...a magazine quiz? According to the quiz, choir girls have more sexual experience than she does. She's an organized businesswoman, so she makes a list...of sexual positions, experiences, and toys she wants to try. Tristan can't believe his good luck when he overhears Karon and her friend discussing her plan. He's finally got an opening with Karon and he's not about to lose it!!!
Virgin Seeks Bad-Ass Boy by Ruth Kerce
Alice is tired of waiting for Mr. Right to lose her virginity. Or maybe her hormones have taken over because she decides she's ready and she wants her de-virginer to be Caleb. He's big, bad, and kinky...and she's gonna love every minute of it!!

*****Review for VIRGIN SEEKS BAD-ASS BOY by Ruth D. Kerce only*****
4 stars – Contemporary Romance/Erotica/BDSM
VIRGIN SEEKS BAD-ASS BOY by Ruth D. Kerce
Sexy, bad-boy biker Caleb is intrigued when his sweet, librarian neighbor makes him a tantalizing proposition that he can’t refuse. She’s tired of being a virgin and waiting around for Mr. Right when what she really wants is a weekend of no-holds-barred, passionate sex with a hunky stud who knows how to satisfy and please a woman. When she offers to submit to all of Caleb’s kinky bedroom demands in exchange for him taking her virginity and teaching her all he knows about sex, it seems too good to be true. And neither of them expected their wild weekend together to turn into something deep and lasting. This was a fun, sweet, sexy, steamy story with a hot-as-sin bad-ass biker hero who rules supreme in the bedroom and a spunky heroine who conquers his bad-boy heart. 4 stars.
I read Virgin Seeks Bad-ass Boy in the The Hottie Next Door anthology.

When I picked this up, I didn't realize it was a compilation of three authors, short stories. I don't usually like these types of things but I needed a book with both good and bad in the title so I grabbed it. Surprisingly enough the one story I disliked the most was by the author credited for this book...Vonna Harper.
Virgin Afternoon by Vonna Harper ★
This was totally hokey and corny too boot! The sex scenes were okay but the dialogue could have been better. Oh God, oh shit again and again and again. Oh and she wasn't a virgin either. WTH?
Stud Muffin Wanted by Lena Matthews ★★★★
I loved Tristan and Karon! This could definitely have been expanded to a full length book. Great characters, an interesting premise (a naive 30 year old who had never had interesting sex before and wanted to try everything) and really good writing. Karon didn't stay naive for long and the sex scenes were really hot. You could actually feel the growing love between them. I will definitely be checking out Lena Matthews for anything other than shorts.
Virgin Seeks Bad Ass Boy - Ruth Kerce ★
Again a good premise but poorly presented. After seeing the girls coming and going from her neighbor Caleb's house, virgin Alice decides she wants some of that and approaches Caleb who has never shown her a lick of attention. Caleb likes his sex rough and nasty and Alice is a virgin. So tell me how after one encounter, Caleb is suddenly in love and proposing marriage. WTF? Totally ridiculous.
I know this is erotica but Harper and Kerce didn't even attempt to include a plot with their porn. These read like maybe men were the target audience, not women.

I'm not a huge fan of anthologies. I find it hard to connect with the characters in such short stories. But, this one is loaded with hotness and HEAs. If you're looking for a quick read over a lunch hour--this one will work.

P.H.f. rating "God I love bad boys".
Just thinking about what these bad boys did to their virginal play things makes me wanna find a man with a motor cycle and bad a$$ attitude.
In the first story Virgin Afternoon author Vonna Harper chose to open with a a newly widowed wife. She has the hots for her dead husband's best friend and she hasn't had sex for many months. She plain and simple wants to get some rough and raw. It was actually romantic to see the story told with such descriptive, with such a short amount of time and with totally likable characters. I would love to read more from Vonna Harper.
In the second story Stud Muffin Wanted by author Lena Matthews I liked how the premise of fast sex was set up. Tristan was oh so melt in your mouth delicious (take that anyway you like). Plus, he really, truly, deeply loved every curve on his tempting treat of a lady. *sigh*
Finally saving the best for last, sweet Besty! Ruth D Kerce serves up her bad boy with no excuse for his filthy mouth, dirty mind or sinfully sexy rock-hard, well, everything. The virgin angle was a bit contrived yes but it moved the story along at a break neck pace and I turned the pages just as quickly.
To wrap it up the characters were well written. The sex from each author was a treat to have read about and overall every good girl deserves a bad boy. At least once.

Multi-author anthology. Theme for all three is heroines lives are so 'sweet' they would fit between the covers of a Barbara Cartland novel - all three are looking for bad boys to help them move on to AT LEAST Danielle Steele... Lots of sex scenes, not much plot. Correct name is Good Girl Seeks Bad Rider...

Wow...one of the best anthologies I have read. I actually enjoyed each story usually there is at least one in the bunch that just "sucks" and you have to skim over or skip altogether. So this was a rare treat and I found a few new authors to try again.
