There aren’t enough hours in the day for her to write all the story ideas in her head. When not writing or reading, she’s a wife and mom living in eastern Pennsylvania. One day she hopes to be writing from a beach where she will never have to see snow or be cold again.
I was lucky enough to beta read this one and holy hotness is all I will say. DO NOT READ THIS ONE IN PUBLIC What I lenioyed most about this Erotica book is that yes there was sex but it wasn't overdone and when they did have sex it fix the story, it wasn't just a sex scene chucked in for the benefit of a sex scene. Kasi is absolutely adorable and Radek is an oh so fine pilot who can fly me anywhere anytime The ending was fantastically amazeballs and I cannot wait for book 2
Michelle has done it again! Her gift of writing credible, romantic, yet sizzling hot sex scenes is phenomenal. Every scene is worth a re-read....maybe several times, I lost count of how many times I read a few of them. Kasi is the daughter of a billionaire who has lived happily just using her battery operated boyfriends for the most part, or using a man to fulfill her physical needs when she felt like it, no strings attached. When she meets Radek while he's working as her personal pilot she immediately knows she wants to sleep with this man. She's drawn to him sexually from the first moment of introduction. Her first pass at him is rejected, which is NOT something she's used to. She's used to getting whatever guy she wants, so she considers it a challenge that she refuses to give up on. When he turns her down again and then she sees him kissing her flight attendant in the hotel, she's upset. It's obvious during their interactions that's he's drawn to her physically so she doesn't understand why he's fighting it. Since he didn't want her she tried to have a fling with the god-like masseuse at the hotel named Troy, but can't take it all the way because Radek has already invaded part of her heart even if she doesn't understand it. She forces Radek to explain himself about why he's rejecting her and he tells her about how he was involved in breaking up a marriage a few years in the past. He was the 'other man' that caused the split and it made national media due to it being a well known wealthy couple. He doesn't want his past to affect her. She already deals with the paparazzi because of her wealth, so he knows the media will bring up his mistakes and he doesn't want her to be tainted by them. Kasi makes clear that she didn't care what anyone thought. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has a past that they may not be proud of. The news media and tabloids might pick at them for awhile but they'd move on to something new as soon as the latest celebutante did something to catch their eye. She gives Radek an ultimatum to either give them a chance to see where things can go or they both walk away and she would stop chasing him and facing his rejection. After much inner deliberation with himself Radek decides to see what happens between the two of them. So begins a whirlwind of awesome sex and a blossoming friendship that took Kasi by surprise. She knew she was falling for him within only a few days. She wanted to spend every moment with him and missed him when he wasn't there. After only a couple of weeks she realized "I missed more than his cock, talented hands, and tongue. I missed him." What began as purely sexual had turned into something more. It should've been obvious that things were going too good for Kasi and her pilot. Nobody gets to have the perfect relationship with the perfect man in their own little perfect world and have it last, right? Well, be prepared because we're left with one hell of a cliffhanger. After several months of heavenly bliss and their proclamations of love to one another, even thoughts of what marriage might be like by Kasi something happens that leaves us thinking- Hell no!! I'll leave it at that, you have to read it on your own. The next installment can't get here quick enough!
What a book I absolutely loved it !!! kasi is a woman who is very determined to get what she wants although she is an heiress she does not like to be in the public eye she keeps everything on the down low where the paparazzi is concerned !! Whilst flying in her private jet she meets her new pilot Radek and she has instint fire coursing through her !!! Radek is a man who is instantly attracted to her but tries to keep her at arms length as he has a bad reputation for something that happened in the past . Kasi cannot stop herself and when she gets her man well let's just say this book blows up faster than aviation fuel !!! A brilliantly written book with a fantastic story and plenty of story and plenty hot hot hot action !! I cannot wait to see what happens next because after reading this you'll feel the same !!!! Michelle please can we have book two ....like yesterday !!!!!

This book had me hooked from the beginning. Kasi the aviation heiress is hot blonde that doesn’t need a man in her life to keep her happy. She gets what she wants well most the time that is. Until Radek, the replacement pilot she had to hire in short notice. One look at him and she knows she wants him and will play the game to get him.
She goes in the bedroom on the plane and takes care of needs since Mr. hot pilot made he needs rise at the moment. She came so loud that stewardess thought she needed the pilot for something. Oh bubbles lol. She implies to him that she took care of it but asked him if next time if would like it to do it for her. He declines her advances toward him, which pissed Kasi off.
When she finds out that Radek is taking out the dumb wit sweetest that makes her even more pissed off. In the hotel while she is come back from her naughty massage she find bubbles and Radek in the elevator making out. She goes to her room minutes later she hears commotion outside her door. She finds the Radek and the co pilot having a heated discussion. She finds out her the co pilot was coming to check on her and Radek went ape shit crazy. Say that he didn’t have a right to see if she was okay. That it wasn’t appropriate she thought for a minute hey why not makes him even more jealous but she didn’t want to string along her friend.
Kasi gave Radek an ultimatum he walked out. She was ready to move on from her infatuation with him when he came to knock on her door. She let him in after awhile. Then he made his desion to be with her.
They had bliss for a while; they were going at like rabbits. Then she started realize that she started falling for him. She was sacred to say how she really felt for fear that he might not feel the same. They say that something is too good to be true. At the end of the book Kasi recvies a call from a woman. None other then the woman who tainted radek five years ago. She says they need to talk about him she has a bad feeling about it.
What a cliffhanger, I tried to keep turning the page but nope I was done. Well job done to the author I loved it, even from the very beginning. I will be on the look out for the book on this series called The Heiress.
The first novel I read by Michelle Dare was, My Salvation. I love watching how writers develop between their first and second book. In her second book, Ms. Dare has made great strides in developing her style, characters and storyline. Her writing is tighter and her characters are more deeply developed. She draws the reader in with the pace and accentuates it with HOT sex scenes. Ms. Dare has made great strides in her style and readers will love this book. Radek is a former Air Force pilot who now works in the private sector. He is assigned to fill in for the heroine of the book when her regular pilot becomes ill. Kasi may be an heiress but she prefers to live the quiet life away from her father’s airplane manufacturing empire. She is no stranger to the paparazzi but prefers to live her life in a low-key manner. When she and Radek meet, the attraction is instantaneous and the chemistry sizzling. He tries to fight the attraction because of mistakes he has made in his past. He fears that his checkered past will hurt Kasi’s reputation. However, Kasi is a woman who gets what she wants, and she wants Radek. The story centers around the evolution of their attraction into a real relationship. Ms. Dare does an excellent job of pulling in the family and friends and making them an integral part of the story. There is an unexpected plot twist near the end and I cannot wait for the resolution of the story in the next book.
5 fantastically hot stars for Author Michelle Dare's Persuading Him !! After I read Michelle Dare's debut Novel My Salvation I was pleasantly surprised and hooked. I loved Kasi and Radek.. Kasi is a strong independent woman who is not afraid to go after what she wants. She is a true Heiress.. Radek is one sexy man and sadly he has a past that seems to haunt him, so getting involved with someone of Kasi stature is a little concerning for Radek. Kasi however is persistent.. Their relationship is rapidly developing into more when Radek's past comes call... This was a fabulously sexy read. I love this author I love her writing style I love that her female characters are such strong individuals. Amazing start to this new series.. Love it..
Super Hot !!! Loved this novella. Kasi is a strong-willed, heiress who knows what she wants. Radek is a hot pilot who crosses her path. The steam these two create is off the charts. I can't wait to read more of these two in future novella's. Keep writing Michelle Dare.
Wow. Holy cow the author gets you hooked in the book. She writes with her unique style that draws you into the book to where you don't want to finish. I had a hard time putting this book down because it was that good.
Kasi is a heiress trying to avoid the public & media. She lives on her own and has a company that she loves working for. She has to fly to see her dad and needs a pilot whom she meets Radek. Someone who is use to getting her ways, now has her eyes set on him. Only Radek denies her. That just won't do for Kasi.
Radek is retired for the Air Force and now is a pilot. He accepts the job to be Kasi's pilot. He has a past and tries to keep it hidden. He has an instant connection with Kasi but decides it's best to deny her as he is not the guy for her. Radek wasn't expecting what Kasi does.
The chemistry between the two is so hot, it will leave your panties wet. I mean it's blow your mind wow. You will go on Kasi & Radek's journey but be warned of the cliffhanger at the end. This book is a must read and I promise you won't regret it. I look forward to the next book. Great job to the author.
OMG words cannot describe how amazing this book was!!!!!I am in love and his name is Radek Cole!!! When Kasi is called home by her dad for a company meeting her regular pilot is not avail so she hires Radek who is a retired air force officer. What Kasi does not count on is her immediate attraction to him. While they are in the hotel Kasi tried to act on feeling for Radek but he turns her down right away and when they are photographed together Radek tells her that she should want nothing to do with him because of his past. When Kasi learns that her father is stepping down as CEO of his company to live life to the fullest after being diagnosed with cancer, Kasi takes that advice and tells Radek that she does not care about his past, and he gives in and lets their attraction take over. While they are living in the glow of a new relationship all is well, but what will happen when Radeks past comes to bite Kasi in the a@#. Cannot wait and I mean cannot wait for book two hurry up Michelle Dare (LOL)
Michelle Dare is definitely an author to keep on the top of your list! She's amazing and her books will leave you wanting more! Persuading Him rocked my world! Kasi is this spoiled girl but very strong willed. She's very likable and easy to relate to. Then you have the hot sexy pilot Radek! Shewwww fanning myself. Those two together...Perfection! Leave your panties off while reading this. No need in wasting them ;) And definitely don't read this out in public! You may find yourself moaning without realizing it. Even while this book has some hot scenes, there is a love story that will leave you breathless.
"I want you to look at me and see how you affect me. I. Love. You."
I definitely can't wait for the next book! Do yourself a favor and read Persuading Him. You will thank me later :)
Michelle is a great writer so I was excited to read about Kasi and Radek. A very hot, sweet story that I loved! Kasi is the kind of girl I like, take charge and not be walked all over. She might've had money but she wasn't a snotty stuck up wench. Radek was drop dead gorgeous and didn't walk into Kasi's life expecting to hook up. Kasi knew with just one look that things had to change. After Radek's past he wasn't keen on the idea of being with someone famous, no matter what. I loved how things fell into place. Michelle kept me on my toes, you don't know what'll happen or when. Very well written with words flowing off the pages. If you're looking for a hot read that has a great story line this is it!! My mouth is still hanging open from the ending we are left with! I can't wait for more!!!
Oh my goodness...this is definitely quite the gem!! Radek is the hottest pilot I have read about and then there is the strong willed and goes after what she wants Kasi. I started reading it after dinner last night and finished this morning. I will say it ends in a cliffhanger and while I knew this was book one, I still wasn't expecting it to end the way it does. I love Kasi and Radek's relationship and how Michelle wrote these two characters. I loved them instantly and I didn't want the book to end. Can't wait for the next one!! Please write faster!! I need to know what happens!! And PS I am claiming Radek as my sexy pilot!! He is most definitely swoon worthy and can fly my jet anytime (LOL) This was a 5 AMAZEBALLS stars!! A copy was given in exchange for an honest review.
This book is HOT, sweet and simply Amazing. You will not be disappointed....from melt your panties sex scenes to the mystery of Radek you will not be able to put it down.
Kasi meets Radek on a flight to see her dad. They are attracted to each other, but Radek doesn't want to bring Kasi down with his past. Will Radek finally come to his senses or will he walk away?
I loved Kasi she is spit fire and believes in what she wants she gets. Radek is just HOT and can fly a plane.
Michelle you have once again wrote a beautiful story with realistic characters and storyline. I can't wait to read the next. Thanks for allowing me to be part of your street team and letting me pimp you!!! Nothing but love.
Sweet Michelle was nice enough to let me beta read this book and I just fell in love with it. The characters have this amazing chemistry and connection with each other. This is a super hot read with some smoking hot sex scene in there. The book is well put together and the story followed effortlessly. The ending....OH EM GEE!! I need book to like right this minute!! I love how strong willed Kasi is and how Radek just compliments her. Heck they compliment each other. The sex scene are tastefully written, they aren't just thrown in there for the sake of have one in there. Michelle, girl, bring on the next one. Inquire minds NEED to know what is going to happen next with this lovely couple!

I really love a strong woman one who doesn't put up with crap,knows what she wants,knows who she is and what she wants out of life and Kasi Markson is just that person. Even though she is an heiress to the Markson fortune she is strong willed and really knows what she wants out of life. Kasi doesn't put up with any crap from people as well. Love this book and want more.
I was lucky enough to be chosen to beta read this great story!! I love Kasi and her fire!! Her and I would be the best of friends!! Kasi is the takes charge, tells you how it is, takes what she wants kind of woman and I LOVED her for it!! Kasi meets Radek on a flight to see her father. She instantly wants him but he fights it, this not something that Kasi is used to! When she finally breaks down Radek's barriers, it gets steamier than a sauna!!! Phew, do those two know how to heat up a kindle!! Don't let this book fool you either, it isn't all hearts and flowers!!
5 stars isn't enough for this hot book!! This was such an awesome book!! Kasi Markson, 28 year old heiress to her dad's fortune is taking a trip in her private jet. She's avoiding Rob, her co-pilot, who is always trying to hit on her. She has a different pilot this time and WOW, he's HOT!!! She makes advances to him and he flat out turns her down.

Kasi is a nonsense heiress, who has the business woman with the free spirit sex life of a man. With one call phone from her father, her love life is about to change. Radek Cole is the only pilot who is free to fly Kasi home to her father.
This book blew me away. As my first read from Michelle, I CAN'T wait until I read more.
If I could rate this book it would be at least a 7. this is non stop exciting sex and love. you gotta love Radek and Kai the stars of this read. Radek is a pilot and Kasi is the owner of the plane. She is one tough cookie and he breaks her down. Radek past is going to put a new twist to this story but you must read this book first. This is hotness supreme.
this is book one in this series. Kasi and Radek's story was hot hot hot!! i wish i could give this book more then 5 stars just for the sex scenes alone! You can easily fall in love with the story and the characters are beautifully written. I cannot wait to read book 2!

This was one wild read!! It kept me on the edge of my seat and there were so many twists and turns, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen next but OMG, loved this book. Kasi Markson is someone who is determined to get what she wants and is a go-getter. She is an heiress but she does not like to be in the public eye, she keeps everything on the down low where the paparazzi comes into plays. Radek Cole is a retired Air Force officer who agrees to a last minute job to fly Kasi when her regular pilot became ill. One look at him and Kasi is hooked, she knows she needs him. Radek is a man who is instantly attracted to her but tries to keep her at arm’s length as he has a bad reputation for something that happened in the past. So begins this fabulous, engrossing,, fast-moving romance between Kasi and Rdek! The carnal knowledge between these two was powerfully written by Ms. Dare. I read A LOT of of genre, especially erotica/romance, and it takes oh so much to really cause that “wet panties” effect after reading a book and Ms Dare accomplished that in spades!
What started out as a quick one time sexual affair turned into something much more seductive and deeper. Soon, a fascinating and loving friendship began to form and Kasi knew within a very short time that she was falling for Radek. But as all things were known to happen, things were going a little to smoothly for these two. At the end of the book Kasi receives a call from a woman from Radek’s past and the book ended on a cliffhanger. WOW!! WHAT A way to end the book. Loved this book. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Can’t wait to read book 2 and find out the outcome. My rating : 5 Stars *****

So I must be in a book slump lately, normally something like this would have me much more excited than I am. That being said, I did have a few problems with book in general.
One: It just seemed to drag on, no real hook so suck me in.
It just went on and on until the very last page, where I was hooked.
Two: Kasi. She was great, but she was a bit too stuck up for me. She didn't really act like she gave a shit about anyone else except for her. Not that I blame her. With the crazy paparazzi stalking her I am glad she was wary of trusting people.
There were several things I did like about the book though.
One: Radek. I really liked him, even though he has made some questionable decisions in his life.
Two: Kasi's father. He seemed like a good dad, or at least, he tried to raise Kasi right. He never judged Radek for what happened, and did whatever made him happy.
Again, I must be in a book slump because that is all I have to write for this one. I recommend it to people who love a good flirty, racy romance.
this is another serial that I can't seem to run away from Our lead is Kasi who has sex all of the time all over the place and since she is rich she makes it happen. She gets on a plane and learnes the copilot is Radex and immediately solicits sex which he declines She then continuously offers sex to Radex and is turned down so she gets a massage that ends with her getting and giving a happy ending which pisses off Radex They have sex and then they are in love. The sex scenes are hot
I wish they fell in love not fucked into it.
It's short our hero is sexy and sweet our mc is a confident woman But honestly... Too many things happened way too fast and for such s short book there was far too much sex
To me the ending wasn’t enough to keep the serial alive for me but it also appears im in the minority with my average rating
kasi is a stunning feisty and wealthy woman who is independent and knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it, she is the Heiress to her fathers business and likes to have her luxuries.
Radex is a pure specimen of manly hotness, a pilot who made a mistake In his past and still punishes himself for it
When these two meet after Radex is brought in last minute to fly Kasi's private jet sparks fly! The second Kasi sees Radek for the first time there is a connection and she wants him like she has never wanted anyone before. And what follows is a fast paced and steamy love story that will have you falling in love with both of these characters.
When these two are together it's so hot! Radek is very Alpha when it comes to his woman, she is his and no one else's.
But the book ends on a cliffhanger leaving you desperate for more when Radek's past comes into the present.
This book is a must read, Michelle has a way of speaking to you through her characters so you feel what they do, I mean damn she even had me falling in love with their dog Ace.
I loved this book and love Michelle's writing she is a real talent, the only thing I struggle with is I now have too many book boyfriends from Michelle's books alone.
“Yeah, I get ARCs that make others wanna be me. I read all night and then talk about it to others while they are sitting at home wishing they were me. As long as I get what I want, they can be jealous of me…but when I don’t get an ARC…watch out cause my rage is all that matters”
Said Karia, NEVER!
But that tone and that temper was Kasi Markson to a T! I really have to say, for a ‘non-spoiled’ rich girl, she is a total bitch. After about 3 pages, I was so close to DNF’ing this book. But then I met Radek and wanted to know more. I actually cheered him when he turned her gross proposition down flat. Sadly, he came crawling back to her. However, by this point, I actually started to get vested in Kasi. She is alone most of the time and while her aloof, I don’t give a F-attitude seems to be a mask for loneliness, she opens up quickly to Radek. The angst between them is quickly resolved and I was thinking to myself…yeah…a nice hot novella. Then boom!!! Cliff-hanger!
Ain’t nobody got time for a cliff-hanger! And especially a cliffy with the bitter ex phoning you to give “information”…yuck…poo…how long to I have to wait to see what the bitch has to say??? I am guessing I have a love/hate for this one. So…3 stars! Enjoy!
This is another uber sexy book from the lovely Michelle. We are introduced to the smart, sexy strong Kasi. She is a woman of wealth and means. She has a habit of always taking what she wants and needs and she has set her sights on quite a specimen of a man! Radek is or sexy, strong alpha male and oh did I mention he is a pilot! We have just raised the sexiness scale! He has his secrets and is willing to walk away to protect them. When these two forces of nature meet it is off the Richter scale or shall we say Radek scale. Kasi always gets her man but Radek may not want to be kept. This will be quite the battle of wills and wits. May the best man or woman win. I can't wait for book 2 ...please don't leave me hanging Michelle ! I was gifted this book for an honest review. ~~Michele McMullen~~
I received this book as an ARC from Net Galley for my honest review.
This book shocked me all the way down to my toes. It packed with so much heat I thought not only the pages would catch on fire but me as well.
Radek is a retired Air Force officer who flies the rich and famous all around the world. He has made some mistakes in his past so his focus is completely on the job...until he meets Kasi!
Kasi is used to getting what she wants when she wants; so when Radek turns down her invitation to get in on some mile high action she does what any rich girl would do. Hit the spa for some R&R and some happy endings.
This book was very good, it is a novella and it is a cliff hanger, its only 0.99 and overall I am happy that I read it. Great job Michelle Dare on changing it up, I did not expect this book to be sooo hot and sexy!
