Maneater
Sex doesn’t have to come with strings attached. The picking of who and where on a moment's whim is the ultimate control. No names, no exchanging of numbers, and repeat encounters are most definitely out of the question.
Keeping life simple and forthright are Ivy’s daily goals. She believes love is for the weak and naive. A vexatious burden she chooses to avoid. The notorious, cutthroat CEO of Hardt Beat Fashion Magazine refuses to waste her time on people who don’t serve a purpose.
When Ivy enters a seductive new club looking for her next brief hook up, she collides with Greyson—the biggest paradox she has ever encountered. He’s out to live life to the fullest. Hot women, bottle service and blood-pumping music is a nightly occurrence for the skilled, headlining DJ.
At first touch, they have nothing in common but skin-biting, adrenaline-filled, mind-shattering sex. Is that enough for a repeat performance? Their palpable pull is a new experience for the casual twosome. And Greyson's erotic pursuit makes it difficult for Ivy to initially say no.
When their attraction constrains Ivy’s glass-like exterior, she insists on creating ground rules. Rules are made for protection, but as we all know, rules are also made to be broken, and Greyson won’t stop till he breaks every single one.

Ivy Hardt is everything that’s wrong with the world. She’s a needlessly mean, cold-hearted, brash, shallow piece of work and one of the most wholly unlikeable characters I have ever had the displeasure of reading about. She’s the CEO of a magazine and treats everyone around her like she’s doing them a favour by talking to them like them they’re absolute dirt. She treats men like her personal toys and I don’t even think she understands the concept of friendship or loyalty and I spent a lot of my time with my mouth hanging open and saying: “Oh no, she didn’t just do that.”
And all I have to say about this book is: Well played, Ellie Meade, well fucking played.
How did I end up crying over a character I completely despised? I guess you’ll have to read it yourself to find out. I’m not going to tell you much of what happens in this story, it’s best to uncover the layers yourself. I can say that it has some of the best and most creative sex scenes I’ve read in a while. Greyson was a tatted up, dirty talking, dominant, stubborn, romantic, sexy as sin piece of ass I wanted to lick all over.
The story is filled with twists, surprises, hot sexy times and a whole lot of WTF-just-happened moments and you will lap up every single moment of this. You will love to hate Ivy and like me, you will probably end up crying with her at the end. And even though this is a romance, this is also a story about a woman fighting for every inch of her life and finally learning that sometimes, it’s OK to let people in.
Like a hard as nails, sassy heroine who doesn’t take shit lying down? Get this book.
Love characters that are flawed and not all goodness and rainbows? Get this book
Love a strong hero that won’t take no for an answer? Get this book.
Love a bit of dirty talk? Get this book.
Are you bored with regular old sex on a bed? GET. THIS. BOOK.

The Greyson Effect: Warning: The content in this book is extremely arousing!
It’s well worth the sleepless night to stay up and devour this book. A highly-arousing smoking red hot read.
This is a story about a sexual predator that cruises bars, nightclubs and gyms looking for consensual one-night only sex. Just like a predator hunts down its prey, a sexual predator "hunts" for their sexual partners.
"My mantra of personal needs is simple; Sleep, work and f@*k. I am a hunter"
That’s the opening line of the book . Immediately, you will dig yourself under the covers, blankets, etc.; turn your ringer off and post a Do Not Disturb warning on all your social media accounts. Maneater is not for the faint at heart! And the sexual predator is FeMale!
I just read the ultimate girl power romance book. Yes, her tactics may be extreme. They may even be offensive. However, Ivy throws a one-two punch between the eyes, takes no prisoners and makes no apologies. You must dislike her!
I did! I thought she was abrasive and a terror with no conscience. She drew a very thin line between conceit and confidence.
Under all that fire, Ivy is suffering from a broken heart. Immediately you cast the sympathy card in her honor. Then she meets Greyson.
He immediately tries to break the holy grail of Ivy Hardt! He has an uphill battle that will leave you with a metaphorically bruise here or there, but he makes it a mission to tame this she-cat!
Every page of this book was a treat to read. It’s filled with love-hate characters and a kick-a** story line. Plus, the sex scenes are so descriptive and exact it’s like watching an adult movie. Oops, am I allowed to say that? Ssh don’t tell anyone.

Impressive!! I have no issues with placing a 5 star rating on this one.
A complete full circle entertaining read. Well written with a smooth easy to follow word flow. Grammatical and content editing nicely done.
Spicy HOTT storyline. I loved the plot!
Never have I had such a hate love relationship with a female character. The attitudes fly in every direction. I felt like a emotional mess. One minute I was ready to slap then I would be wanting to hug. Even though I was so mad I could bite nails, I needed to know more. I was attached whether it was good or bad.
AWE!!! I should warn of your next BBF. He is waiting. So very enticing and desirable. How he handles his alpha self is swoon worthy.
Don't forget major make some sweat " fun" . I'm talking fan and ice moments.
Excellent storytelling. Superb creativity.
I highly recommend. Find a quiet alone place and let this story take you away. AndreaGAH. ( arc)

“Oh, Ivy, what are we going to do when we get old? I’m sure we are going to run out of people to bang. New York is only so big.”
******
“I don’t play games, so I will speak slowly. I. Want. To. Fuck. The. Shit. Out. Of. You. Again. You following me, gorgeous?” His hand cups the side of my neck as his thumb brushes over my bottom lip. “I want to fuck you till my dick can’t fuck anymore. And when I’m thoroughly spent and can’t fuck you with my dick, I want to fuck you with my tongue, and with my fingers. Hard. Over and over again. By the time they get tired, my dick will be back in the game. I want to repeat that cycle for the next seven days straight.” He stands back up straight, leans back half a step and eye-fucks me again.
*********
“Stop treating me like a fucking whore,” I grit out as I clench my teeth.
He licks his lips and leans closer to me. “You have a problem with being treated like a whore? Really? All the rules you have made point to that direction.”
