Internal Combustion

Rate this book
Chelsea doesn’t want a man--problematic, because she can’t stop imagining her boss naked. Finn is definitely off-limits. Chelsea loves her job at his garage way too much to let a little thing like lust ruin her future.

Too bad Finn isn’t on the same page. He can’t seem to think of anything but bending Chelsea over every flat surface in the garage and teasing her until she’ll agree to every fantasy he’s got.

Talking Chelsea to bed--and into some kinky BDSM fun--isn’t nearly as hard as Finn thought it would be. The sex is scorching and he can’t get over how their pillow talk revolves around their mutual love of engines, fast cars, and high-octane fun.

Chelsea may let Finn tie her up, but she’s not about to let him tie her down. The mere mention of a relationship has her pumping the brakes and looking for an exit. Finn’s willing to give her the time and space she needs; he knows his woman better than she thinks, and he’s willing to ignore every possessive instinct he has to prove it.

I was born in Melbourne, Florida when it was still a tiny little town, and I was pretty much raised at the beach. At a fairly young age, my father moved us to Summerville, South Carolina. He chose South Carolina because Northrup Aviation wanted to transfer him to California, where he figured his three daughters would wind up getting into trouble. As luck would have it, I grew up to be a hippie anyway! At 16 years old, I ran away from home to go to Woodstock. I wish I could say I made it, but I got caught before I ever got out of South Carolina.

I've been married twice - unsuccessfully both times - but the second one netted me a beautiful daughter who is nearly 23 years old. I'm happily divorced with no plans of changing my marital status.

I have a B.A. in Forensic Psychology and have been doing social work for a number of years. I've worked in Addictions, Community Mental Health, Corrections, and most recently, Child Welfare. Having seen the best and worst in people, I pretty much keep to myself now. My daughter worries about the lack of a man in my life but I tell her I write my own men now and the fantasy is better than the reality.

I've been writing since my early twenties but never thought about trying to get published until I met my pal, Sheri Livingston, in a Yahoo group. I have several e-books published and several works in progress on my desktop. I have so many stories in my head that sometimes I feel a little schizophrenic. But then, I'm a psychiatric social worker, so I can treat myself!

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~

This is a hot, fun and easy read. The two characters certainly know how to heat up the page, with plenty of variety and sensual erotica. Even though Chelsea may be sworn off men, Finn gets under her skin and plays the patience game ... well, heart wise, even if not sex wise ! The setting in a garage, with classic cars and both of them having a career and hobby in common is a nice touch. The ending is really fun and even though it is a short story, we know enough about them to definitely care about the outcome.

The Romance Review

Sexy boss stories involving kinky adventures kicks this popular fantasy up an erotic notch. Rev your engines for this fast and furious sexfest.

Chelsea doesn't want any complications or strings attached to her sex. She's a woman in an auto body shop filled with men. She works harder than them to prove she earned her job. Falling for her boss, Finn, is definitely not on her to-do list. Unfortunately, no one informs her libido.

This story starts off diving straight into the hawt boss to subordinate liaison. Instead of a power grab of forcing the typical secretary to do the powerful manger's bidding, this is one of balanced power, which is sweetly sensual. There are no power struggles to see who possesses the upper hand. Instead, it's a discreet friends with benefit status which morphs into a romantic relationship before Chelsea can apply the brakes. Once Chelsea recognizes the final destination, she does her best to stop. Finn is having nothing to do with this and takes action.

Ms Masters creates realistic characters who are easy to understand. They are engaging because they feel familiar. Their traits are recognizable in family and friends. This is the power of her storytelling. She grabs the reader from the beginning by making her characters human. The reader can either sympathize or empathize with how the character feels and thinks. The baggage Chelsea carries is no different than what many readers have personally experienced. Ms Masters presents it in a way which is smooth instead of lecturing or boring. This makes her stories enjoyable and a fast read.

Sometimes the plots in her stories tackle hard social issues which need to be addressed. This one is gentler with a look at relationships and why a woman would want to take advantage of sexual benefits without the headache of a commitment. The sex in this story is kinky for those who want a glimpse of sweet loving fading to black. It is tastefully tame.

Overall, this is another well-crafted tale. Recommended for kinky romance lovers who want their happily ever after.

Review:

****4 Erotic Combustible Stars****

Wow! India Masters sure packs a HELL of a sexy, steamy story into a short novella complete with kinky, highly erotic sex, a lady mechanic, and a HEA! A short story about Chelsea, a young curvy, sexy woman car mechanic, gets hired at a small auto shop. Hurt by past douchbags, she runs from relationships. Finn, the hunky owner of the car repair shop who has also been burned by an ex wife, discovers Chelsea has been hired while he was on a fishing trip. He immediately imagines bedding the sultry, sassy temptress. After their first erotic encounter, they fall into a friends with benefits, very steamy benefits, relationship. Their sexual chemistry and the combination of Finn’s very talented sexual prowess and Chelsea's willingness to push her boundaries, results in a combustible, kindle melting reading experience!

“The sex had been good. Better than good. Combustible. It was a miracle the bed hadn’t caught on fire. But awesome sex, sex like she’d never experienced before, was a dangerous thing. She’d learned the hard way not to trust her judgment where any man was concerned. This man was a virtuoso, a regular orgasmatron. She was swimming in treacherous waters, and she knew it. Only time would tell if Finn Morgan was worth the risk to her heart.”

I recommend this well written erotic short novella by India Masters for a sexy stimulating read!
