Book 2 of the 4-book series The Stark Affair

Sofia is getting closer to uncovering the dark truth about Colton Stark, but she is torn between her duty as a police officer and her own overwhelming attraction to him.

What begins as a boxing date quickly becomes an exercise in futility as an all-consuming flame ignites. Sofia finds herself giving in to Colton's dirty filthy dominance.

As she attempts to stay focused on her assignment, Sofia fights a losing battle against her primal urges and ever-growing feelings for this criminal with the power to seduce her with such raw abandon.

Tension is also high at work. There is a rat on the police force and Sofia begins to suspect who it is, placing her life in danger.

Colton Stark has his own set of problems. When he learns some ugly information about the Chairman of the Board who rules his life, he decides to act.

But his decisions... including his devotion to the secret Talon Group... may get him and Sofia killed.

WARNING: My books are the raw, unfiltered vision of a slightly schizophrenic, sex-obsessed, vodka-swilling "living contradiction" with profanity issues. They are often unrealistic (translation: FUN) depictions of what life would be like if erotic romance fantasies came true, so sometimes... gasp!... things happen that aren't "realistic". (You know, kind of like how dull boring everyday life is realistic. Seriously, do you want to read about that?) If you are offended by the excessive use of dirty words, crass descriptions, or crude stream-of-consciousness writing laced with potty-mouthed expressions and graphic descriptions of non-traditional carnal delight, then you need to RUN from my writing right now! Don't say you weren't warned. (Oh, and you'd better be over 18! Don't even think about buying my books if you aren't.)

Approximate length: 16,000 words (a novella)

I love dark, mysterious, and deviant. Powerful dominant alpha males with troubled pasts who find strong but unfulfilled submissive women. Both need to escape the "rules" of society (just like me... haha.) Together they make hot steamy delight and fill in each other's damaged parts. This is me. This is what I write. Hope you like it.

I remember part one was hot, edgy, and had an unconventional female protagonist. She swears a lot, she kicks ass and she's a cop. Not to mention she has a girlfriend. On a mission to catch a billionaire criminal, she slides into Heat, his night club, to pretend to be easy bait for the playboy.

First reviewed on Literaria http://sede-literaria.blogspot.com

Both she and Colton, the hottest man in town, are in for a surprise. They couldn't be ready for the shock of meeting each other. I liked that situation a lot. I was as mesmerized by their sparks as they were.

This second part starts with Colton's view of what happened at the end of part one. It allowed me to awaken those memories and reconnect with him. Colton and Sofia are strong-headed and have an agenda, but the challenge between them is fiery. There is a particular scene that was hilarious and lava-hot, when Sofia and Colton are sparring at the gym with their fists and verbal darts with double meaning. You have to read that! It's followed by the dirtiest, most foul-mouthed steamy scene ever.

Besides that, the plot is quite engaging. I like Colton because he's like a 007-world character. He's working backstage to put a hidden plan into motion to regain his freedom and punish a rich bad guy in the process. And he's so secretive and spy-like about it that the fun is guaranteed.

Things are getting darker too in this installment. There's a shocking revelation about Stark Industries that is dark, illegal, and sickens Colton to the core.

The ending is quite sudden, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story is going to develop.

Salivating for More...


The story between Sofia Maritnez-Vallejos, the cop wanting to bring down Colton Stark, Billionaire Bad Boy, picks up right where it left off. They each have their own agendas as well as a force pulling them together. S.K. Cross has done it again, drawing us in and leaving us salivating for more. Looking forward to seeing where we go from here.
