Falling in love wasn't part of the plan.

I had one job left to do. After that, I'd finally be free of that bastard crime boss. I'm used to getting what I want--nothing has ever stopped me.
And then I met Sloan.

Beautiful... sexy... and a hell of a sassy mouth. She makes me ache in a way no one ever has.

She's also the sister of the man I need to take down.
How did my luck get so bad?

My last job has become something much more complicated.
I should stick to the plan, but I can't keep my hands off of her wicked curves. Can I finish this job and keep Sloan?
Or will I lose her forever when she finds out the truth?

WARNING: This book contains a sexy, possessive man who can't keep it in his pants when it comes to his woman. Luckily, he's not just well endowed... he also knows how to use it. *wink wink*

Just as the title alludes to, this book is so full of Sticky situations. Hunter Gage is this dangers, tattooed, blonde beauty of a man and Sloane Casey is a tough, voluptuous, complex gorgeous woman who from the moment their eyes met you knew steam was coming. Steam so hot you were going to be left singed! I felt all of that just from them moment she felt his eyes on her, and she liked it. Every woman has that man in the back of her head that she thinks only dreams are made of, and on the surface "Gage" seems to be just that for Sloane. Just the same, every man has the woman he hopes to find one day, a woman that he can fit himself into her curves, and for Gage that was Sloane.

I really didn't expect this book to be as intense from the beginning. This "casino mob" boss Aaron O'Malley is a sleeze, and I thought maybe Gage would want to do this one last deed and be on his way. I'm so glad I was wrong! As soon as you get in Gage's head you know there's a morality about him that you wouldn't expect from a "thug." He very much knows that the situation he was put in isn't good for him, and he's determined to make the most of it. Sloane was an obstacle that he knew existed, but he didn't expect (or necessarily want) that instant attraction. Opposite to that, Sloane was absolutely everything I could hope for in a woman lead! She is a loving sister, but a fierce woman. She knows how to stand her own, how to do what she must to make sure she can live her life and she sure knows how to use what God gifted her! Women leads have the tendency to be soft, and that isn't what Sloane is. As Julia words it she has a 'hell of a sassy' mouth, and that girl knows what she's doing!

Then there's Freddie. I knew something was up, but I just couldn't figure him out!!! His twist was the biggest and the "stickiest" of them all! Freddie fiercely wants to keep his sister protected, just as she wants to help him out. Brother/sister relationships are always nice to see, definitely when their bond is so strong. Freddie also didn't let Gage get in his way of his sisters safety, the protectiveness he has for her is so endearing.

If you love a strong, sexy man and a beautiful sassy woman with lots of plot twists and "sticky" situations go get 'Sticky' now!!

description

Sticky by Julia Swift was a great 4 star read.

Gage only had one job left to do before he could be done completely, he didn’t realize that this job would leave him torn between two women. Which one will he save?

Gage has been studying and watching Sloan, the sister to Freddie who owes his boss lot’s of money. The plan is to use her for leverage in getting the money back.

Sloan meets Gage at the diner she works at and it’s an instant connection. Their first date turns into a very hot and steamy evening that will leave Sloan wanting more from this hot and tasty man. As Gage gets to know Sloan the more he falls for her and want’s to protect her.
What will happen when Sloan finds out the truth? Can he protect her while trying to complete his final job?

She’s going to hate me, I think. If she figures out who I am. What I’m doing to her

The story is great. The sex is off the charts hot and I loved the connection between these two. Sloan is a very strong female that stood her ground and was very protective of her brother. We also see some unexpected twists that add great elements to the story.
There is no cliffhanger and the ending was perfect. I have to say I really liked her neighbor Lacey and I can’t help but wonder if there could possibly have been something there for Freddie and Lacey if they had known each other longer. Could we possibly be seeing another book about Freddie? Thank you for a great read Julia Swift.

Hunter Gage & Sloane Casey are a book couple you need to experience.

Hunter Gage made a deal years ago to save someone he loved, and now that deal is coming to a end, one last job and Gage will be free. But Gage wasn't prepared, when he was sent to get close to the sister of the guy he's to surveillance, that he would feel so strongly for the women. Beautiful, Curvy, dark haired, Sloane Casey. It's easy to get close to her, his attraction to her, his need to get to know her. But he's also conflicted, he wants close to her, and not just because of this job, but to genuinely know her, but if she found out the real reason he's in her life, he knows he'll loose her. Gage will still have to do his job, while falling for Sloane. He's promised himself that he'll protect her from his dark world, and the trouble her brother has put her in.

Sloane Casey, is happy to finally feel a connection to a man. She can see herself really falling for Gage. Her days are now not just filled with working hard as a waitress, and watching her brothers every move, worried he'll go back to his dark days. Sloane tries to push her insecurities aside and enjoy the connection with Gage. But her brothers troubles are rearing their ugly heads and she'll have take a step back and decide who she can really trust.

Sticky was a sexy and suspenseful story. Gage, the rough alpha. Sweet and strong, Sloane. Together these two are one sexy couple, one you need to read about. The dynamic between the two sucks you in. And the mystery surrounding, Gage, and why he's working for such a bad man, will keep you hanging on. You'll root for Gage and Sloane to make it work and for them to get a happy ever after. This is the first book I've read by Julia Swift, and now I can't wait to read more.

From looking at the title of this book it didn’t really give much away so I thought this was going to be an interesting book, as normally when you have a one word title for a book it can go either way. I am honestly glad that I have had the chance to read this book as I love helping out authors, Julia Swift is a new author for me but from what I read in this book I thought that it was perfectly written. I’m not going to lie and say that I didn’t find myself confused at any point because being honest I got confused with who Gage was to begin with, I know that sounds bad but when I was reading from Sloan’s point of view I understood what was happening. Even with that happening I thought it was pretty good, and being honest I would recommend anyone to pick up this book and give it a try.

I seriously loved how Gage was a good guy, I understood that he didn’t like his job or boss but when your put in a situation that you have no control over then you just go with what feels right at the time, no matter how much you don’t want to do it. Seriously when I was reading about him I thought that he was such a decent guy, it’s not every day that you meet a guy that actually would rather be helpful and get away from the crime that he does. It was refreshing and I liked that about this book, sometimes you can actually predict how a book can go but this one you just couldn’t. I liked that Gage has a soft side and that Sloan can handle herself, they made quite the couple. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I hope that you do too.

Sticky by Julia Swift was a first time read for me. This story was written well it took me about a day and a half to read. I Absoluty loved the book, once I started reading it did not want to stop reading it. I loved these characters and also the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story had a great plot. Sticky is about a man named Nicholas Gage who has one last job to do before he’s paid off his debt to the terrible crime boss he owes. A master of surveillance, theft, and the con, nothing can stop Gage. But when he meets Sloan Casey, the sister of his mark, and the sexiest woman he’s ever laid eyes upon, what was supposed to be his last job becomes something much more complicated and sexy. Gage knows he should stick to the plan, but he can’t keep his hands off his smart mouthed, curvy lady. In all honesty, that this book blew me away. I must warn you that within seconds you'll be fully immersed and invested in a love story. I loved every second of this book and would recommend to my friends who enjoy reading as much as I do.

Who wouldn't want a love where the person would lay down their life for you? That's what Hunter Gage and Sloan Casey do for each other in Sticky! Gage is on his last job for crime boss Aaron O'Malley who helped Gage with providing medical attention to his Mom in return for certain jobs. Sloan's brother, Fred, has been in gambling trouble before and Sloan thinks he is again thanks to Gage. The only problem is they don't know what Fred is really doing (no spoilers...you need to read this book!). When Sloan finally learns why Gage was pursuing her, he loses the love of his life, but if he doesn't protect her, he just might lose her permanently thanks to Aaron. Recommend reading this wonderfully written book and see how these two get out of a Sticky situation!!! Received an ARC for an honest review

I really enjoyed this book, considering I do not normally read bad boy books, cannot say that they are my favorite, but Hunter Gage stole my heart from the first moment Sloan saw him when she was working in the diner I fell in love with him and it did not hurt that he loved her curves.  He had already fallen in love with Sloan's picture and when she approached his table, the way the author described the grin on his face well......she had me there! I then could not wait to see how he was going to get himself, Sloan and her twin brother Freddie out of the mess Freddie had made. Sometimes when a writer gets a couple into a rough spot I have to put the book down and walk away, but I wanted to keep on reading to see where this went.  I am not a writer and not the best with describing a book.

Mafia. Erotica. HEA.
Gage owes one more favor or job to a local mobster. This job involves him getting close to Sloan in order to find out what her brother did with money owed to the mob. Sloan is a hardworking waitress with a problematic brother. Once again, his problems have found their way to her door.
Not that Sloan knows this. Yeah, it's bad. She likes Gage and he's running a game on her. Thing is? Gage likes Sloan too. A little too much.
They have an instant attraction that leads to a Smoken Hot Sex Scene. Love how dirty Gage likes to talk.
Sexy Sexy Sexy. This book is a panty scorcher.
Which leaves the question, will Gage(and Julia Swift) save Sloan?
Have faith, this bad boy has a heart of gold. Gage is capable of more than he realizes. Have fun discovering this for yourself.

I was given a ARC for an honest review.
This book starts out strong with Gage being called in to do his last job for this corrupted thug leader Aaron. His target is Frederick, who owes a lump sum of $500,000. But in order to get close to him, he has to get close to his twin, Sloan. The first time Gage lays eyes on her, he thinks 'I need her'. It goes down hill from there for him when he starts dating her. When Sloan catches him at her brothers apartment, she realizes she was a fool to fall for the heart throb Gage. She runs but can only so far. With every turn she's backed into a corner. Not knowing who to trust or what is right. Will she forgive Gage or shut both him and her brother out and get caught in the crossfires. Love this book.

Sticky by Julia Swift is a standalone romantic suspense story with some pretty steamy interactions between the two main characters and some crafty plot twists thrown in the mix also. A well-paced and well-written tale of a man paying off a debt to a sleazy casino owning crime boss and his mark on his final job who fast becomes the woman he falls in love with.

Gabe does everything he can to be as honest with Sloan as possible but when his job is to use her to get to her brother things get complicated fast.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author.

I received this arc for an honest review and I absolutely loved this book.
I am just starting to write more reviews, so bare with me here. :)

Gage and Sloan are now one of my favorite book couples. When I started reading this book, I automatically loved Gage from the very beginning. Even though he is supposed to be the bad guy (at least you think that) he really isn’t. When I was introduced to Sloane, my first thought was she is such a sweetheart. The fact that she loves her brother so much and would do anything for him, was a another reason I fell in love this book. Once, you start reading this book you will not want to put this book down. If you are looking for romance, sex, action, and drama then this is book for you!

Loved this story..hot and sweet, with suspense and danger, a very feisty woman and a not so perfect man!
Gage has a job to do..As fast as he can and then he's out! The only problem is that he falls for the woman he has to seduce in order to do the job.
Sloan is feisty and gorgeous, smart and brave..and I love her! She's strong and even tho she feels a connection to Gabe she is not going to be a fool.
Gage..I have to say I loved him right from the start..He does what he has to do but in the end he tries his best!
Great story!

This was an ARC that was given to me by the author. All I can say is well done! I loved the hero-tough and moody on the outside and gooey on the inside-yum. The heroine was feisty and competent and I really liked her. Sex scenes were warm and spicy with some good dirty talkin' goin' on-I like that in a book! Story line was good, characters were like-able and I really enjoyed this author's writing. I will be looking for the next book and thank you Julia for the opportunity to read a really good book!

I received this book for an honest review, okay so here is goes..... Wow HOT HOT HOT loved this book, amazing erotic scenes, love how Gage tried to keep his feelings for Sloan to a bare minimum, kept telling himself it's a job he's here to get info. Sloan trying to keep her twin brother Freddie out of trouble. Tries hard to fight her feelings for Gage. Was she hurt when she found out the truth? Yes! Kind of left a few things hanging like what happened to Aaron? With out giving to much away... Was a great book.

I simply couldn't get enough of Gage and Sloan. This was my first read by this author and I can say with certainty it will definitely not be my last. I LOVED IT!!!

It is jammed packed with sexy character interactions and will take you for an emotional roller coaster.

Gage fights his attraction towards Sloan just as much as she does and it's a perfect struggle throughout the book. Will she be able to overcome the betrayal and deception? I can't wait to find out what happens in the next book...

I loved this book. The story line was great. The only reason I am giving it four stars is because it took a little bit for me to get into it. Once I did, I enjoyed it. This is about a good girl that falls for a bad boy and I love that. I loved the surprise at the end. Didn't expect it. I don't want to spoil anything about the book. This is a good read and I recommend it to anyone that likes good girl bad boys books. Thank you so much for allowing me to read this book for you.

This book was fantastic. This is my first time reading this author and I was impressed. She is detailed in her writing and does an exceptional job writing dual POVs. Gage and Solane's story starts out under the wrong circumstances but ends beautifully. You will definitely want to one click this bad boy.

Gage works for a Jersey Shore thug and he is on his last job with him. The last job involves a woman named Sloan and from the moment he met her he was attracted to her. His relationship is tested due to his involvement with the thugs and her brother. Good story with action and romance.
