Pen Point
Tambria is a beautiful, intelligent, sexy woman in her 30's. She's responsible, has a degree in accounting and avoids drama at all costs. So how does she deal when she finds her husband having playtime with a male co-worker? A cross-country move seems like the perfect plan.
Roxtown, Colorado has the perfect solution. Her best friend from college is there with an immediate job offer to join the family firm. Things just seem to be falling into place when Tambria is given an amazing opportunity to work with one of the wealthiest CEO's in the country. Not only is he wealthy, but he can melt panties right off your ass with just his presence.
Tambria refuses to join the flocks of women that fall all over themselves to catch Evan's attention. Yes, he can be distracting. Especially when he looks at her like he's ready to throw her up against the nearest wall and do things to her body that she's never experienced before. She's determined to stay focused on her career and adjusting to being a single woman again. Can she handle the job and keep her heart and underwear in tact?

To say I loved this book is an understatement! I freaking, absolutely without a doubt LOVED it! This book just kind of fell into my lap and I wasn’t sure, never heard of it, never heard of author, but boy am I glad I gave it a chance. It sucked me in from page one. Tambria is the main character and it’s told in her point of view. She is starting a new life with her best friend Cammie, and their relationship is something to be jealous of. They are like real life best friends, the way the tease, talk to each other, and just plain act when around one another is something I totally feel like with my bestie! Tambria, or her nickname Bree, gets an incredible job and not only is it a major account but it’s with a major HOTTY! She struggles with what to do because she doesn’t want to screw up her job or this big deal but when you’re up against someone so perfect for you and can feel the sparks fly how do you just ignore that? Evan Maxfield is the young sexy billionaire who was never looking for anyone but when he walks into that restaurant and sees Bree he was a goner. Can he convince her to throw caution to the wind and just give him more than a weekend of hot incredible sex? Bree knows there’s more between her and Evan, but after some drunken texts can she really face him again? Cammie is urging to just give in and be happy; she wants Bree to prove to her that you really can have a happy ever after. I can’t wait to read the next book and learn all of Cammie’s dirty little secrets! Angel awesome job with the book! There wasn’t any of that fake shit in it, it was real and hilarious, and I loved it and wish I could give it more than just 5 stars. If you are looking for a love story that makes you laugh out loud and feel like you’re hanging out with these awesome chicks then one click NOW!!

First off, this is a series. Just thought I put that out there for those who are not a fan of such novels. Considering the way the novel ended, I'm thinking the story is to continue with book 2. Story - to be honest I didn't think there was much of a story as it's your typical one: girl meets uber sexy, rich guy; guy totally enamored with girl; girl takes a chance with guy even though she's afraid she might be hurt because of past relationships, blah, blah, blah. Of course, said girl has a BFF that's over-the-top outrageous. So what's the book about?? The hero/heroine having never-ending, mind-blowing, multi-orgasmic sex that's off-the-charts scorching hot. Seriously, if you're in the mood for a simple read that's chalk full of sex, sex, and more sex, then I suggest giving
"Pen Point"
a read. The author definitely excels giving her readers a novel full of sex that's never dull. Be warned. Not only will you end up hot and bothered, you'll hope and dream of all the possible orgasms you could have with just such a hero. In the end, only three stars as I thought
"Pen Point"
lacked an in-depth story with well-developed characters; instead filled with a plethora of well-written sexcapades. Cheers!

Where do I start with this book?
It was absolutely hysterical. I read on the subway to and from work & was given the ugly glares from all the laughing I was doing at 6am. The book follows the story of Tambria, Bree as everyone calls her, and Evan. There is also Bree's best friend and hilarious sidekick, Cammie. Those two women together will make you laugh/snort. They absolutely remind me of the antics of me and my best friend.
We first meet Bree as she is waking up for her first day of work in a new town. This is after she caught her husband cheating on her and promptly leaves him. She is getting into the swing of things in her new life when she is given the chance for a huge account at work. Enter Evan, billionaire hottie. At their first meeting, they are both dumbstruck by the other.
As they continue to work together, their attraction grows. Bree is weary because of her previous situation and doesn't feel like she can trust her instincts when it comes to Evan. She also doesn't want to risk anything happening to the firm, or its future if things don't work out (it is Cammie's legacy after all). After much prodding on Evan's behalf, they have a date night and then day and then night together. They decide to take things one day at a time.
There were times I wanted to jump into my kindle and shake some sense into both of them! Evan was being hot and cold with Bree which only confused her more and made her more firm in her conviction to not get too close. However, Bree finally gives into her feelings and allows the relationship to move forward. This makes everyone around both parties very relieved.
Overall, this was a light and easy read. The characters were believable and easy to relate to. I enjoyed that they weren't 20 years old like many are in current romance novels. This was the fist book I've read from Angel and it certainly won't be the last.

Pen Point is the first book I have read by Angel Bales and I enjoyed it. Yes it is about a young billionaire looking for love, however for a twist, this guy is actually nice and I loved that aspect of him.
Tambria (I tripped over this name a bit) is newly divorced, living in a new town and starting a new job. She is going to work with her best friend Cammie at her father's financial company. Bree isn't looking for love by any means, just getting back out there is enough for her right now.
Evan Maxwell is our resident hot, rich guy. He has been all business for so long, he doesn't have time for a real relationship at the moment. Evan is looking for a new financial firm and takes a meeting with the company Bree works for. Bree is in attendance at the meeting as well and as they meet the spark is instant.
While I am not a fan of insta-love and I will admit that the way Evan acted creeped me out every so often, I was glad to see a sensitive leading man for a change. Evan felt something for Bree the moment he met her and made it very clear, very quickly. They continued to work together while trying to decide if playing together is going to work out for them.
The book is sexy and maybe a bit crass in some parts. I realize there are only so many words for lady parts, however the C-word isn't one that screams sexy to me, neither does hole. That was a bit of a turn off as well as a few other things Evan would say to Bree in the moment. That aside, I like the way the relationship blossomed with Evan and Bree, they took time to get to know each other better and figure things out between them.
The book was well written and wrapped up nicely.

Tambria and Cammie.
Remember those names. These chicks are crazy. You will fall in love with their relationship.
I got the chance to read this book and what I loved right from the start is that the girls aren't in HS or College and are NOT in their 20s. Loved that they are educated, professional women that many of us can relate to.
Tambria, is in a new city she has moved close to her BFF, Cammie. She is working for Cammie's dad firm. These two ladies are going to make up for time apart. They work together and now are going to party together. First Friday in town they go out to one of Denver's hot clubs,yes, that's right 30 somethings can have fun too. One of Cammie's old flames is the manager of the club and he is MORE than willing to reignite that flame. But, Cammie of course claims she's not interested and is their for her friend to meet a hot piece of man-meat.
Tambria, meets a hot piece of man-meat not at the club but through work. Enter hotter than hell and sexy ass man Mr. Evan Maxfield. This man is HOT! So hot, Tambria can't stop thinking about him. He is the biggest client the firm has ever signed. She's faced with a dilemma. Does she want to keep the job she has after leaving her husband? Does she jeopardize the opportunity her friend's family has given her and follow her feelings?
The story is good. Author kept me engaged and I couldn't stop reading. They craziness these two besties get into is hilarious. I laughed at them and couldn't wait to see what Cammie had to say.
I can't wait to see what else Angel Bales gives us in the future.

Ok so she found her husband in his work trailer with his forman, his male forman. Tambria just wants to get on with her life and when her best friend suggests she come to work at her fathers firm she jumps at the opportuinity to start over in a new city. Just one week into her new job and the unthinkible happens, their smoking hot billionaire client can't seem to take his eyes off her, the sparks between them are enough to start a fire. But he's a client and she's not looking for anyone, even if he can melt your panties off with one look.
Tambria had her confidence shattered by a husband who should have never married her, but she didn't let that define her and take her over. She's strong enough to move past it and with her best friend at her side she can do anything.
Evan is such a sweetie, even though he never wanted a relationship he accepts what he feels for Bree and isn't afraid to say whats on his mind. Watching him woo her and show her just how good they could be you see just how right they are for each other.
There are mmmoments when you're on the edge of your seat waiting for Tambria to realize just what they have together, and there are times when you have to bring out the fan to cool off from their heat inducing scenes. But my favorite thing about this story was the fun times between all the characters. Prostitute Ariel, just saying ;)
My only complaint was I wished there was more background and depth to the story. This was an entertaining afternoon read filled with lots of laughs and steamy scenes.

I was lucky and recieved this book early. It's been a while since a book has made me laugh out loud. The relationships Tambria has with her best friend Cammie and Evan are hysterical. Tambria has just gotten a divorce after catching her husband in a comprising position and she leaves her life behind moving across the country to start fresh. She meets Evan and the sparks fly instantly. She resists at first because her firm is working for Evan and she doesn't want to ruin the opportunity for her firm. I just wanted to shake her and say suck it and take the chance. Usually it's the male dragging his feet but in this case is Tambria. This was a great first book by Angle Bales. I laughed through most of the book. Evan is hot and sweet. He's book boyfriend material. Looking forward to future reads from Bales and hope to see more of Tambria, Evan and Cammie.

A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.
This story begins with Tambria starting a new job in a new town with her bestie, Cammie, after recently getting divorced. The relationship between Tambria and Cammie is hilarious! Cammie is a woman I would love to meet. Some of the things she said had me laughing out loud! They start a new project at work and end up meeting Evan, a sexy tattooed CEO. Evan is definitely swoon worthy! He is so sweet to Tambria, and the way he always calls her beautiful made me smile. There are some hot scenes in this book, and Evan has no problem taking what he wants. If you're looking for a sweet and sexy read, this book is it. Will be on the lookout for more books by this debut author!

Angel Bales is a fantastic writer. I loved the connection between Tambria (female lead) and her best friend Cammie. It was positive and inspiring watching how Cammie helps Bree through her divorce with her own kind of humor.
Bree is recently divorced, picking up the pieces of her life with the help of her best friend from college, Cammie.
Evan Maxfeild is an incredibly handsome, sexy billionaire that Cammie and Bree end up having to workalong side with.
Evan and Bree's connection is visable from the start and if frightens Bree.
I enjoyed the humor, the witty banter between women. I liked that it showed that women could support one another with out petty drama and jealousy.
Really Enjoyed Pen Point, can't wait to read Angel Bales future books.

*Beta Read for Review*
Tambria and her best friend Cammie are hilarious and I love how they interact with each other. There were some laugh out loud moments that had me in tears!
Tambria and Evan's connection is scorching hot right from the start...and who doesn't love a sexy CEO with tattoos and a big *truck*....who knows exactly what he wants! And I love that Tambria is a strong, focused woman - especially after her divorce.
Angel Bales' debut novel is sweet, sexy, and funny! Really looking forward the the rest of the Love Invested series!

Supercharged Romance
This is a fast paced, no holds barred, love at first sight, get to the point romance Evan is every woman's dream guy, total romantic, Tambria is the typical think to much female who just made me want to smack her a few times, and you can't leave out the outspoken best girlfriend. Overall good little story all I can say is it is worth the read. It doesn't have much of a storyline besides the romance, but it is written well enough that the romance holds its own, with Evan and Bree it was definitely not boring!

July 6, 2014Amazing!
Loved Bree and Cammie and their hilarious bantering only best friends could do! Oh Evan....nothing sexier knowing what lies under a "well" tailored suit! This was a nice chance of pace knowing Evan wasn't a pig of a guy with his multiple girls on the side. Ms Bales made him a total genuine guy so thank you for that! Looking forward to more books from Angel Bales in the near future!

Great light read
Great light read
Pen Point was a fun, light read and the exact distraction I needed. This book isn't filled with angst and I loved Bree and Evan... how the mighty Maxfield fell. They both felt the pull to each other and while Bree fought it, she was fooling herself. Some serious hot fan yourself moments and lots of laughter

A crazy pair of best friends, a hot male lead and a world of fun. A good fun read with no drama just a good laugh and hot sex. I was disappointed with the ending so I'm hoping for a book two in this series. It's was a quick lighthearted read with a load of giggles... Well done Angel xx

3.75 stars.
Bree and Evan's story was a fun quick read. It is edited well and the story line flows fluidly. I was a little disappointed that it ended so quickly, I would have enjoyed staying in their world a little longer.
I'm looking forward to the next story in the series.

DNF….one one sex scene with no real story. Obnoxious characters
April 7, 2016
This more like 2.5 stars.
First let me say that I read over 300 romances a year, across all subgenres. And the only redeeming part of this were the few romantic sides of Evan that we saw and his dirty talk in the bedroom. Hence the 2.5 stars. But that. was. it.
So only read this book...
-- If you like 35 yr old women acting like idiotic college students both professionally and privately. I found it appalling how much we learn about friend Cammie, but nothing much about the heroine. For women who are supposed to be so brilliant at what they does, neither Bree nor Cammie come off in the writing as very intelligent. They're shallow, pouty, whiny, immature.... perhaps the least endearing qualities I want to read in a book.
-- If you're okay with women calling themselves "bitches" as a term of endearment. It's disturbing and demeaning and must stop. While it was funny that they changed it to "birch"... one time using the real word is one too many times for me.
-- If you like random facts thrown in that go nowhere... she's divorced from a man to whom she thought she loved but turns out he was gay all along... umm this is its own story that has no relevance to the story or the characters in this novella and continually made me wonder what happened when I was supposed to be paying attention to the current plot.
-- If you find out that the fancy CEO actually has hot tats and calloused hands... then explain it. But now we have NO IDEA WHY. It's never explained why there's this dichotomy.
-- If you don't want to read about any depth to these characters or their relationship... and if you like skipping around in time. Bree's meeting of E's parents was glossed over; how has their relationship grown? Is it really so they can eat pizza and watch tv? How boring and immature is that?
-- If you don't want an HEA... more like a HFN.... but I also know there's a sequel which I can't believe I'd consider reading at point.
Sadly, this has been on my TBR list for awhile at the suggestion of a blogger, whom I'm now having trust issues with.

Tambria has packed up and moved across country. After finding her husband in a compromising position with another man. She needs to start over and depend upon herself. What better place then Roxtown Colorado where her best friend Camille lives. Tambria takes a job with Cammie's family's firm as an accountant. After her first week on the job George Cammie's father pairs the girls up to land a partnership with Maxwell Industries. A partnership that could make them a lot of money and is one of the biggest opportunities to come their way. What Tambria didn't count on was the attraction she felt just seeing Evan Maxwell or the pull of her body to his when they shook hands. Making it even worse was the way he looked at her.
When Evan Maxwell is mentioned you get the impression he is going to be one of those arrogant hard nosed Multi-billionaires. He is considered one of the 'Wealthiest Bachelor in America" Amazingly is everything but. You can't help but fall in love with him. He is kind, attentive and just down right sexy. Tambria isn't looking for a relationship, but who could blame her. After her husband she has a hard time trusting herself in picking a man. She is a wonderful character. She is kind, funny and outgoing. Then you have Camille (Cammie) the best friend. The one with no filter on her mouth. When the friends get together it is hysterical. This is a sweet romance, but don't let the sweet part fool you. There is lots of cussing, which fits the book so well and some downright hot melt your panties sex scenes. If your looking for a laid back, fall in love and laugh your butt off book. This is the one for you.

Pen Point is the first book I have read by Angel Bales and I enjoyed it. Yes it is about a young billionaire looking for love, however for a twist, this guy is actually nice and I loved that aspect of him.
Tambria (I tripped over this name a bit) is newly divorced, living in a new town and starting a new job. She is going to work with her best friend Cammie at her father's financial company. Bree isn't looking for love by any means, just getting back out there is enough for her right now.
Evan Maxwell is our resident hot, rich guy. He has been all business for so long, he doesn't have time for a real relationship at the moment. Evan is looking for a new financial firm and takes a meeting with the company Bree works for. Bree is in attendance at the meeting as well and as they meet the spark is instant.
While I am not a fan of insta-love and I will admit that the way Evan acted creeped me out every so often, I was glad to see a sensitive leading man for a change. Evan felt something for Bree the moment he met her and made it very clear, very quickly. They continued to work together while trying to decide if playing together is going to work out for them.
The book is sexy and maybe a bit crass in some parts. I realize there are only so many words for lady parts, however the C-word isn't one that screams sexy to me, neither does hole. That was a bit of a turn off as well as a few other things Evan would say to Bree in the moment. That aside, I like the way the relationship blossomed with Evan and Bree, they took time to get to know each other better and figure things out between them.
The book was well written and wrapped up nicely.

Very enjoyable read, I recommend this as a romance read …
This is a story of a billionaire businessman Evan and a newly divorced woman Tambria, who find each other, sparks fly and of course, fall in love.
I love a book that makes me laugh, and I laughed quite a bit while reading this book. The great relationship Tambria had with her BFF Cammie was fantastic. They remind me a lot of how two best friends should interact and how they related to each other. Tambria works for Cammie’s father’s business and they are given the opportunity of a huge account with a very wealthy, very hot, and very romantic CEO (Evan). When they first meet sparks fly and the chemistry is there for both of them. Evan chases Tambria, and you can tell he is very smitten with her. The connection Tambria feels frightens her to start with, but she finds her way eventually.
Overall this is a sweet, light read and I did enjoy it. The storyline flowed, and it was a boy meets girl type romance with some steamy sex thrown in for good measure. This is the first book I have read by this author (Angel Bales) and I definitely enjoyed it. This is a romance book with a sweet guy and he never strays from that description. This was a four star read for me, as the storyline was pure romance with not much else thrown in, but some steamy sex. I would recommend this book if you like a good romance story, boy meets girl and a happy ever after.

Wow this is a petty awesome book. Tambria is a strong, sophisticated woman that has just found her husband with another person. She calls her best friend Cammie and she talks her in to moving down with her. Bree has packed all her stuff and bolted. Cammie has gotten her a job at the family firm as an accountant. Bree and Cammie are an unstoppable team at the firm. He puts them on an account for Maxfield Industries. Evan Maxfield is the CEO and he is all businessman. He works constantly and doesn't have time for a woman. Until he has lunch with the girls. He takes one look at Bree and doesn't know what to do. His body is betraying him and he feels this pull to her. He approaches her one weekend and asks for them to have some alone time. Bree agrees but keeps her distance because her heart is telling her it's a crazy idea. The more time they spend together the harder it gets. She had to talk to Mr. Channing about what's going on and he gives her the best advice. One night after they get home from their adventures Evan confesses his attraction tells her what he wants from their relationship. Will she follow her heart or let her brain rule the answer?
