Part II in the Training Her Curve series (follows Training Her Curves - Chicago)
Jake Morgan’s contract waits unsigned in Alexa Hunt’s apartment, an unboxed shredder on the floor below. While her agent pleads and threatens, Alexa drops bookings she’s already scheduled for, digging the hole she finds herself in a little deeper every day.
Part of her -- the moist, throbbing bits branded by Jake’s touch -- wants to sign the contract. The offer is not only one heck of a payday, it’s a year in the service, and bed, of the only man who has ever made her ache in all the right ways. But her brain knows what her heart refuses to consider — for Jake Morgan, this is nothing but business. He needs the submissive vulnerability and unique look of the plus-size, tattooed and pierced redhead to crack open the checkbooks of his jaded clients.
At least that’s what Alexa thinks, and it’s not like Jake is going to show up and convince her otherwise…
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Christa Wick has been hybrid publishing since 2012 (yep, she's one of the O.G. indie authors). She's written 50+ romances starring curvalicious heroines and alphalicious heroes whose stories span the spectrum of: steamy & sweet, steamy & emotional, steamy & suspenseful, steamy & paranormal, steamy & dark, and...well, you get the idea. Her darker, dirtier books are under C.M. Wick, and she also writes general fiction sci-fi thrillers and suspense novels under other pen names.
Hot as well, but too soon for her to start to develop feelings toward her Dom, This also happens to be the first one where The dom actually cares for his sub, since the very beginning, Kind of a very gentle, even rough dom, XD Oh, right we also get to the factor X, 'cause...no idea what she might be hiding. Hey! and what's with the brother?!!! also.. he's completely into his assistant hehe. This is more like a passing by bridge; nothing big to say about this one, really. Only that is hot every second it goes, and plenty of BDSM as well
Wow this certainly got hotter -- let's just say the BDSM scene at the club involved a toy... whew.
We learn so much but need answers to so much more!!
Alexa's gotta decide if she's going to sign the contract... and after some "chasing" by Jake, she goes. But she's truly driven by her need for Jake and orgasms, rather than a need for money (which she seems to need) or to build a future... I mean once she goes into this, did she really think she could get out of it so easily? I also get the sense that Alexa may be not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier... especially if this goes the way I think it will. Keep secrets and lying always come back to bite you.
We also meet Jake's brother Dylan, who is none to pleased that Jake is with Alexa, and learn more about their executive assistant, Marjolein, who isn't a dippy as she comes across.
As expected the continuation of this series is hot and I'm dying for more. Alexa and Jake have a palatable chemistry that jumps off the page at you. Their scenes are intense intimate and achingly erotic. With her secret looming in the background and Dylan plotting to tear them apart, I can't wait to discover what happens next.
