Tiger Shark

by L.P. Lovell

London’s square mile is witness to a revolution, a new breed of business woman. They call us tiger sharks.

We out-earn, out-work and out-play our male counterparts. We work the system, play the game and most importantly, we win. In a city full of sharks only the most ruthless make it to the top of the pool.

The number one rule: never sleep with the boss. Ever. I had no intention of breaking it until I met my new boss. No matter how strong my resolve, Landon Banks can smell weakness like a shark smells blood in the water, and I’m bleeding.

The hunter becomes the hunted, lines start to blur, and I have a choice to make. Screw or be screwed. Of course, I never was much good at taking it like a bitch. Landon Banks will be learning to grab his ankles if I have anything to do with it.

Things are about to get interesting in the game of predator versus predator. Who will come out on top?

I had such high hopes for this one. I loved this author’s previous books because her heroines are always strong and smart, her heroes are hot and intense, and her books are passionate and angsty.

As soon as I read the blurb I thought: I have to read this. And the start was kick ass. I was instantly in love with the heroine. She's a real badass. I thought: Finally something new and unique, this book will sweep me away! No such luck, because around the middle of the book the story became so predictable.



I couldn’t relate to the hero but that’s probably because we didn't get his point of view.

Georgia Roberts is one of the best stock brokers in London, and she didn't get to be the best by pussy-footing around. She has a list of rules that she sticks to in order to be the best. Being a female in the business world isn't easy, so she follows her rules, and kicks ass.

Rule one on that list is to never, ever, fuck your boss. Don't let them make a pass at you, don't be mean about turning them down if they do, but whatever you do, do not let your bosses dick near you. Georgia was doing fine at following these rules...until she met her new boss, Landon Banks and forgot all about them.



I really wasn't sure what to expect from this book, and I was kind of nervous going into it. But after reading the blurb I was just too curious about Georgia to pass up the reading opportunity. I have to say, I was kind of nervous because, as much as I'm all for women power, I don't like a powerful women in my books. Only because in past experiences they end up being bitches instead of powerful and the books didn't work for me. Fortunately that was not the case with this read.

Georgia was a good character and I really enjoyed learning more about her and how she worked her way up to being the best in her business world. Her set of rules were so interesting to hear about and to see her put them in play. Well until Landon came along that is, but lets face it, not many women would turn him down. I loved his character and the quiet intensity he had. Landon was one of those characters that didn't even have to speak, yet just his presence in a scene took it over and made you pay attention to him.



The ending felt a little rushed, and that's what brought my rating down a little bit. But I very much enjoyed this story and these characters. Overall, it was a sexy, intriguing story, that I think any fan of a strong heroine and a tough hero will enjoy. The book comes highly recommended by me.

TITLE: Tiger Shark
AUTHORS: L.P. Lovell
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: June 11th, 2016

Not sure what kind of journey "L.P. Lovell's" going to take me on with this book, because the ones I have read have been on the dark, gritty, twisted, and sick.

MY RATING


A quick, unique, dirty, sexy, strap on read!!

TIGER SHARK is the new breed of business woman moving up the ranks in corporate jobs all over London, they are known to out wit, out play and out earn the males in their fields.



There is no female as tough as Georgia Roberts who takes on the men at their own games and in most cases comes out the victory winner, she ruthless, tough and has bigger balls than most men.

To become a successful 'Tiger Shark' there are rules that have to be heeded
1: Never. ever f#ck the boss
2: Never let the boss hit on you
3: Anybody might be a some body
4: Always appear beyond reproach
5: Play nice

I play by a set of rules for a reason, to succeed.
I have lived and breathed those rules for years,
always striving to be the best.
And now I'm faced with forbidden fruit..
My boss..My hot boss.



It's not until she's head hunted by a reputable company and meets her new boss Landon Banks that all the above rules are eradicated.

London is a giant chess board, a game in which strategies, deception and rules define your success.

Landon is a very very good looking man, he could grace the cover of a GQ magazine and look right at home on it. But don't let this mans looks deceive you, he's all alpha when it comes to his sexual desires,and Georgia is just the woman to satisfy him.

They say rules were made to be broken.



I connected with the story line as soon as I started reading that first page, gods I loved these two characters, he brought out the best in her and she brought out the alpha side of him, these two together were dynamite..

4.5 Schmexy Lust/Hate Stars!




Be still my ovaries, Tiger Shark was one heckuva hot book for fans of that angsty push and pull, fine line of love and hate. Georgia is a successful broker, rising through the ranks in a predominantly male-oriented, dog eat dog world. She's beautiful and successful- every man's dream- but watch out, gentleman, she's a pit-bull in sheep's clothing. She's got a plan- be friendly and professional and but follow five simple rules...

Rule number one: Never, ever, fuck the boss.
Rule number two: As an extension of rule one, never let the boss hit on you.
Rule number three: Anybody might be somebody. Be careful what you say, what you do and most importantly, who you fuck.
Rule number four: Always appear beyond reproach.
Rule number five: Play nice.

In case you missed the theme, never, ever fuck your boss no matter how hot he may be. Enter Landon Banks...

Starting fresh at a high-end brokerage firm, Banks and Redford, after her previous boss made a pass at her and she quit because RULES , Georgia finds herself working with the most elite of clientele. This is the job that'll define her career. It's perfect. She's perfectly poised and always the professional...until she meets Landon Banks, the co-partner in her firm...her boss. Suddenly her steeling determination for professionalism in the workplace starts to slip. He's arrogant, an ass, barely makes eye contact...she hates him but damn if she'd love to f*ck him. But again, rules...

Tiger Shark was one solid hunka hot, angry, intense sexual combustion of words. Holy smokes, be still my ovaries. Landon Banks was a force Georgia, or any able-bodied woman, couldn't withstand. It's seriously primal with him. ***wipes brow***



For every push from Landon, Georgia had a push back. I devoured the tough-as-nails demeanor of Georgia and the power struggle between those two was so freaking hot, it was palpable. When a reader reads over a hundred books a year, sex scenes tend to fade out in similarities but something about the way LP Lovell constructed this lust love-story, it was smoking hot! Ovary combustion. Holy mother of neck holding, hair tugging, sexual dominance! This woman can write some sex scenes!



So for fans of that angsty push and pull of sexual chemistry, of the taboo boss/employee relationship, Tiger Shark was a fantastic, all-consuming, and smoking-hot read. I highly recommend it for fans of strong, confident heroines, stronger Alpha men who like their control in the boardroom AND bedroom, and steaming hot sexual chemistry. Two thumbs up for LP Lovell and Tiger Shark!

London is a giant chess board, a game in which strategies, deception and rules define your success.


Georgia is a strong, intelligent, ruthless woman in a man's world. Georgia is a stock broker in London, the hours are long and stressful and she thrives under the pressure and lives for it! She has worked her butt off to achieve what she has and is in no way willing to give up her reputation or position for anyone, especially a man. She has a set of rules that she follows to keep her straight and under no circumstances if she going to compromise her integrity.


I play by a set of rules for a reason, to succeed. I have lived and breathed those rules for years, always striving to be the best, and now…now I’m faced with the forbidden fruit, my boss, my hot boss.


Landon Banks is a man who exudes charm and power. He is the top-dog and commands every room he walks into. Revered by all he demands respect with just his presence. What makes him quiet his his aloofness.


It’s the hardest thing in the world, to experience a taste of what you know you can never have, what you can’t allow yourself to have.


LP Lovell has created an intense couple who are tethering between the fine line of love and hate. The pages are charged with sexual chemistry. They are two alpha's running this game and it is never clear who was at the top.

I personally liked how Lovell portryed Georgia. She gave quite an insight into the psyche of Georgia's character and what exactly made her tick.

If one one hand I loved Georgia's portrayal as a female alpha, I was quite disappointed with the portrayal of Landon's character. He was aloof and it was very hard to get a read on him. It might have helped had there been Landon's POV. Another thing regarding Landon's character that I didn't like was how flat his character was. I couldn't see any development. I wanted to know his weakness, what made him tick. I wanted to know what Landon Banks was made of.


Overall, I liked the book and finished it in a matter of few seconds. Lovell defnitely created an emotionally charged couple with great intensity. Yes, the plot is predictable but I was happy for Georgia nonetheless.



Some people walk into your life while others tear through it like an F5 tornado, ripping long buried foundations out of the ground and sending everything spinning in a vortex of such power that all you can do is stand back and watch. Well I’m watching…

*ARC received from author via Social Butterfly PR as part of blog tour*

I gotta hand it to LP. With that title and blurb alone, it was enough to pique my curiosity and give her work a try; plus considering that this trope is probably one of my lesser favorite, boss-employee, unless the MCs didn’t know at first contact, which is def not the case here. I’m always nervous bec one wrong turn and we’re talking trampling all over standards of conduct. That’s just me and my quirks… But like I said, I give her credit for catching my attention despite all my misgivings.

Georgia is one interesting h. Talk about an alpha h! Don’t often come across someone like her. Did LP make it work? I think she did. It’s one thing to read an alpha H seen thru the eyes of the h, but it’s another when you’ve got an alpha h and you have access to her thoughts. Real slippery slope down to d0ucher-y, or in this case, just plain b!tchiness. But what LP managed to do is she made me understand her. It wasn’t a smooth path, but she got me there eventually, how about that! Quite frankly, I was ready to throw in the towel by the thirds-mark, with Georgia just coming across as having too much of an edge and a chip on her shoulder, real peach of a b!tch, AND a kink that caught me off-guard to boot, but slowly, I started to see her growth. While flawed and all, I understood her motivation so next thing I know, I’m right there by her side, cheering her on. Interesting…

Landon, I liked him. I actually wish I liked him more but I think Georgia’s strong personality overpowered his a little, so I as much as I wanted to swoon over him and appreciate his actions and words, I didn’t totally get into him; almost run-of-the-mill, if I may add. What I would say for certain though is that he was the fitting H fitting for Georgia. Boy did he “handle” her well! *winks*

Their coming together is full of heat and animosity so just imagine their smexy times! Georgia’s “kink” is not one I’ve read in my romance reads before so that did raise my eyebrows a bit but again, not sure how LP did it, but she sold it! Having said that, it should be noted somewhere that there are other people involved albeit a small part and there’s a touch of M/F/M here, and it’s probably an M/F/M that you don’t often come across with (at least not for me anyways), so if that doesn’t float your boat, just be warned.

In the end, for all my reservation, and as much as I didn’t agree with all their actions and decisions, I was more engaged than I thought and I’m glad I gave this book a chance. It’s got enough elements to make it different, it’s smoking hot, and it’s got honest emotions.

Tiger Shark by LP Lovell
4 stars!!

“London is a giant chess board, a game in which strategies, deception and rules define your success.”

This was one of those book that drew me in because of the synopsis, I love me a strong woman and Georgia was just that. She was a woman in a man’s world and had worked her butt off for every rung on the ladder that she had climbed and she was not willing to give that up for a man, any man. She had her rules to keep herself on the straight and narrow, under no circumstances would she compromise her integrity and she was determined to not be pigeon holed as the woman that had slept her way to the top. Her success was just that, her success and she owned it. Georgia was a stock broker in London, the hours were long and the days were stressful, but she thrived on it, she lived for it and was going to conquer it.

“I play by a set of rules for a reason, to succeed. I have lived and breathed those rules for years, always striving to be the best, and now…now I’m faced with the forbidden fruit, my boss, my hot boss.”

Georgia was strong, intelligent and ruthless and she had no filter. What you saw is what you got and she was a woman that knew what she wanted and how to get it. She knew how to play the game, both with her colleagues and her clients. She was at the top of her field through sheer hard work, resilience and her five rules, number one being…do not fuck the boss. Her colleagues admire her and want to be her, her clients respect her and want to retain her and that is the way it must stay. It is a dog eat dog world and Georgia would not be eaten by anyone. But it is lonely at the top, with so many men off her radar she was single but she had the best, best friend but would that be enough?

“They say that rules were made to broken, but what about bent? No one said anything about that.”

Georgia’s resilience is tested to the limit when she starts a new job, no man has ever made her question her five rules…that was until she met Landon Banks. Landon Banks was a bit of an enigma, he exudes charm, power and respect. He was drop dead gorgeous, GQ worthy and he commanded every room he walked into. He sucked out the energy as soon as he entered and was highly revered by everyone, but he was quiet and it is this that made him so intriguing. He was intense and when he and Georgia first meet Georgia feels something she has never felt before…and she fears it. He was dangerous to her five rules, extremely dangerous.

“It’s the hardest thing in the world, to experience a taste of what you know you can never have, what you can’t allow yourself to have.”

LP Lovell really captured the push and pull of their mating ritual. That will they won’t they, the fight that Georgia has with her sub conscious versus her heart and her head. That fine love between love and hate. The pages were emotionally charged with their intense sexual chemistry and I felt it all. The tension, the sly glances and touches all add to the crescendo that you were just waiting to happen, praying for it to happen. Two alpha’s rutting for supremacy in a mating game where you weren’t sure if there would be a winner. It was intense.

“You surprise me.”
“You underestimate me. It’s not the same.”

The first half of this book was fantastic, it really captured Georgia’s strength and really gave you an in depth insight into her psyche and character. I would have loved to have had some chapters from Landon’s POV though. Landon was so aloof at times it was hard to get a read on him, while he was a lot more open than Georgia at times, I wanted to get inside his head, see the man behind the façade, I wanted in his brain. There is a slight little BDSM element in this book, but it is not an integral part of the story but it does make for some great scenes for Georgia, her alpha really comes out.

Overall, I loved it and couldn’t put it down. I loved the authors writing style and she certainly nailed that character connection and the intensity of the story itself definitely has you frantically page turning. It was refreshing to have such a strong willed and spirited heroine and while towards the end the plot became a little predictable I was happy for Georgia. She deserved to find the one thing that she never knew she wanted.

Georgia Roberts is Seriously efficient and a mean stock Broker. She manages money, makes money, helps people make money. She belongs to a new breed of savvy business women - Tiger Sharks. They're cut throat, ruthless, efficient . They don't apologise for their success and they rule the corporate world.

London’s square mile is witness to a revolution, a new breed of business woman. They call us tiger sharks. We out-earn, out-work and out-play our male counterparts. We work the system, play the game and most importantly, win. In a city full of sharks only the most ruthless make it to the top of the pool.

She has five Golden rules of success -
Never sleep with your Boss
Never Hit on your Boss
Be above Reproach
Anybody could be somebody
Play nice
I wanna be her !!!!
So when two giants do collide, it's the lowly grass that gets trampled ! Landon and Georgia are passionate and their unnatural drive in business extends to their sex lives as well. They both are alphas, both want to dominate and both are superior. So who submits ?

Love doesn’t have shades of grey because you’re in, or you’re out, there is no halfway house, no get out clause or rules. It just is.

So they draft a contract of sorts, to keep professional and sexual lives separate and frequent Club Masque ( Hint Jade west*) to satisfy their cravings. Unfortunately Hearts and Heads get jumbled, the lines get blurred and eventually everything comes crashing down
Firstly - LP should drop everything and just write Landon Escapades!
This guy is solely responsible for Global Warming , I think.

I think my ovary actually just twitched.

The story is so engrossing that I hated to go shower because I didn't wanna stop reading!
This is the most comfortable genre for LP. Writing is so taut, so precise, I loved it.
Time to sleep now, I wanna go dream about Landon .....ravaging ME!

Holy hell was this one super HOT and supercharged read. The constant push and pull between the characters' wants, needs and desires provided so much angst that I couldn't help but feel like I was there with them. I was rooting Georgia on. I was frustrated and anxious as well as felt every other emotion she went through and lets not forget how so fricking turned on I was through the entire book.

You are going to effin LOVE Georgia!! She was such a freaking kicka$$ chick!! She's a hardcore, cut throat woman in a business dominated by men. She has strict rules and sticks to them like gospel and because of that she is a total shark in the financial world. She is large and in charge and dominates her life like the alpha female she is.

But when she takes a job with a new firm, she meets her match. Her new boss, Landon is her complete equal and her professional demeanor does nothing but turn him on. Her b!+ch mode is way too appealing for him to resist and together the sexual tension is Off. The. Charts.

Damn, Logan and Georgia were so sexy together. Both had such strong dominating personalities that it was amazing to watch them battle it out in the bedroom. It was like a never ending hate f*ckfest and it was awesome!! But of course, things are never that simple. What starts out with clear cut rules and a line drawn turns into blurred lines and confused hearts.

Believe me. When you read this book, you're going to fist pump the air for the sense of empowerment Georgia shares with you, all while getting the perfect amount of sweetness that will warm your heart; without ever being over the top. Tiger Shark was a fantastically written story and I highly recommend you picking this up and giving it read.

You Guys! This book was SOOOO Good! Totally could not put it down! Read until 4:30 am last night and then had to wake hubby up (if you know what I mean. ;) hahaha!

I opened this book, not even realizing how much I had been craving it. Like your favorite dessert you haven't had in forever and then you treat yourself to it and it hits the spot in all the best ways... YES! Thats how this book felt. I was reading and was like Oooh Badass Heroine YESSSS! Sexy ass CEO, Yesssss! Oooooh inter-office romance YES PLEASE!!! Perfect amount of angst and suspense. Ugh... SO GOOD You Guys!

So basically it was like a Win Win Win Win. :) LOVED this book! The story line was great! I'm glad it didn't jump around POV. Not because I don't like when books do that, I usually do, but because it was really amazing being inside the head of Georgia. She's this amazing strong girl. She's fought her whole adult life to get where she in her career. She fully intends to be be CEO one day. She submits to NO NOT in the workplace, not in her daily life, and definitely not in the bedroom. She is confident and structured she has a set of rules she lives by and, well... then comes Landon banks to push every single one of those limits and push her to her breaking point and Man, does he love watching her squirm. :)

The chemistry between these two was OFF THE CHARTS. This book was sexy as hell. I loved the banter between the characters, ALL of the characters. But mostly I loved watching Landon break down Georgia's walls one... by... one.

What a beautiful, fun, story this was!

I tried for days but the beginning was rough. I couldn't connect with the characters at all. After trying to pick up the book and reading it over a couple of days, I just lost interest.

Well this was HOT and unique and FUN! I didn't really expect the story to have this much humor, but layered with all the push-pull tension between Georgia and Landon was really great banter that kept me smiling as I was swooning!

This is basically a book about learning rules are meant to be broken and that's okay! :) It's passionate and ridiculously sexy and just plain good. There's not much to tell you because the story-line isn't exactly twisty but it's also not what I would call a predictable book. Because like I said, it is unique in its own right. Just know that it is well written and developed and there was a good balance of sexual story verses romance story :) #TRUST

4.5 Hot Stars!!!! Slight Spoilers below so READ with CAUTION! You have been warned!!!!!!

OK, first off let me say that I truly enjoyed this book!!!!! Georgia, normally, she would have been a lead female character that I would not have liked. Her character in general is not really my cup of tea personally BUT with that being said her character for this role in this story was written perfectly, brilliantly in fact. I totally "got" it and totally understood it and so for me I could "relate" with Georgia and invest myself with her as well:)

Landon, oh my, Landon was just swoony, dominant, he was a man of few words but oh my, he was a man of totally hot n sexy actions for sure! I loved that he called Georgia out, I loved that he made her "see" things through his actions, albeit she may not have admitted to him affecting her the way he did but I at least loved that the author let us into her inner thoughts.

Why not 5 Stars, well, hmmm how can I describe why, ok, let me try. I felt the last portion was "rushed" for me, I loved that they got to where they did but I felt like I was missing the softer side of Georgia too. The separation, ok, I am assuming neither were with anyone else during that time??? BUT I wanted to KNOW that. I guess it was all too rushed, especially since for me personally I wanted to see them "together" and I wanted to see their relationship blossom out in the open too. Hope that makes sense! All in all, I really thought the storyline was great, I LOVED Quinn and Eva, hope, wink, wink, we get a story on both in the future as well as catch up with Georgia and Landon:)

PS The sex especially where it included Apollo......whewwww, my panties and Kindle were flaming HOT!!!!!! Loved it:)

Congrats L.P. Lovell on a great storyline that was written beautifully and brilliantly!

LP Lovell... You are making my emotions spiral out of control, woman. I've gone from stomach churning therapy sessions with Wrath and Wrong to setting my panties on fire and running through an entire package of batteries with Tiger Shark.

Being a strong, independently minded career drive woman, I get Georgia's rules. To make it in a man's world, you have to learn how to work the system and make yourself unquestionably above reproach. Georgia is all of that and more. She's tough, but you have to be when you are the best in your line of work. Her queen bitch lifestyle even reigns true in the bedroom. She's a destroyer of men and I fucking loved it. I would like to be her best friend and watch her dominate the male driven business world.

Now. Landon. Sweet mother of God. This man is demanding and unrelenting in his pursuit of the one person he can't have. His need to feel her drives him, but it's something entirely different. It's pure unbridled possession. It's not enough to know he's conquered the Tiger Shark, he needs to possess her. Every time she pushes back, he pushes harder. Yet, he has secrets of his own and they may be just enough to stick the proverbial knife in their arrangement. Secrets always have one way of coming out and destroying everything you hold dear when it involves love.

Tiger Shark is a ball-busting erotic romance that will leave you panting for more Georgia and Landon. I want more!

I saw a teaser for this on a book blog I follow, Give Me Books, and I was instantly hooked. I love the cover and the blurb sounded too good to pass up. I mean how amazing is this? :

“The hunter becomes the hunted, lines start to blur, and I have a choice to make. Screw or be screwed. Of course, I never was much good at taking it like a bitch. Landon Banks will be learning to grab his ankles if I have anything to do with it.”

I had a good feeling about this book and it wasn’t misplaced. I LOVED Georgia so much. I connected with her voice and loved getting a glimpse into this world she is part of. Georgia is a shark dressed in lamb clothing. She is a business woman trying to make her way in a man’s world. She is smart, sassy and unapologetic. She is strong willed and when she finds herself compromising her rules, she fights with herself every step of the way. Landon was a great match for her and every scene with them together was hot. Their chemistry was so well established and their scenes together just burned up the pages. I loved this book so much and can’t recommend it enough. If you want something original in an over-saturated romance genre, then definitely give this a go.

-Rule Number Two: Never let the boss hit on you.
-Rule Number Three: Anybody might be somebody. Be careful what you say, do, and who you fuck.
-Rule Number Four: Always appear beyond reproach.
-Rule Number Five: Play nice.

Georgia has her shit together! This is one strong heroine, and she takes no nonsense. She works hard and has no time for relationships. She works off steam by going out to her favorite sex club where she is still the boss in the bedroom.

As successful as Georgia was, when her drunken boss makes an indecent proposal, Georgia knows it's time to move to another firm. Once rule #2 is violated, there is no going back. It isn't until she has started at her new firm that she meets her other boss, the mysterious Landon Banks.



Georgia couldn't handle the growing attraction between them, so she was definitely not playing nice.

“Tell me, is it just me you dislike so much, or are you this delightful with everyone?”

With all the banter and hate-flirting, Georgia decides to have him on her turf, with her rules.

“The hunter becomes the hunted, lines start to blur, and I have a choice to make. Screw or be screwed. Of course, I never was much good at taking it like a bitch. Landon Banks will be learning to grab his ankles if I have anything to do with it.”

She needs to feel more control over him, something she can't really have at work, since he is her boss.

“I want to feel the control over him that I can’t possibly have outside of this place. The question is, can a man like him even be controlled? Or would it be like keeping a lion as a pet and waiting for it to rip your arm off?”

Well Landon is much more lion than lamb.

"I will break you." Maybe that statement should scare me, but it doesn't.
I shove against him and he smirks. "Never." I spit.
The fingers around my windpipe tighten in warning. He leans in until his lips are at my ear. "You will submit to me, kitten."

OMG, Landon, he is so hot! I love banter and hate sex, so Tiger Shark was right up my alley. I liked Georgia, despite her ice-princess facade. But I really liked Landon, I just wish we got to know him better. As mysterious as he was as a character in the book, he is also mysterious to the reader, and I think if we had his POV or more insight into Landon, I would have enjoyed this book even more.

“Some people walk into your life while others tear through it like an F5 tornado, ripping long buried foundations out of the ground and sending everything spinning in a vortex of such power that all you can do is stand back and watch."

Likes:

•Strong, successful heroine.
•Kinky sex club.
•Slow build-up with no insta-love.
•Her unique bedroom habits.
•Landon...yum.
•Hot and kinky sex.
•A smartly written book about the London business and stocks world.

Dislikes:

•I wish we got to know Landon better.

The Down & Dirty:

Tiger Shark by LP Lovell was a great break from the young virgins who see a rock star and have electricity run up their arms when they accidentally touch. It was a book about two very strong, successful alphas making a forbidden, kinky relationship work in a cutthroat business world. It was a unique read that I read quickly and had trouble putting down. If you like a strong, smart alpha heroine, and an even more alpha hero battling for supremacy, check out Tiger Shark. I think you'll enjoy the change of pace.

This is my second LP Lovell read and I enjoyed it just as much as the last one. She is quickly moving up towards my must read authors list.


Georgia Roberts is a tough business woman in a field that is considered to be dominated by men. She’s highly intelligent and knows exactly how to play the game. Both the clients and her male co-workers.


“London is a giant chess board, a game in which strategies, deception and rule define your success.”


She has 5 ultimate rules that helps her achieve her success and #1 is to not fuck the boss. This has always been easy for her. Until a situation puts her with a new boss who is about to test her resolve.


I devoured this book. I just couldn’t get enough of Georgia and Landon. They were the ultimate push and pull story. Full of angst and that back and forth love/hate banter that I absolutely love.


Georgia is probably one of my favorite female heroines this year. She’s strong, ruthless, and has the backbone to rival anyone. She knows exactly what she wants and goes after it. Her drive for success is admirable. Her resolve to adhere to the path she has planned out to remain at the top is refreshing. Add on the fact that she doesn’t have a filter and I’m sucked in. Where do I sign up for my own real life Georgia as a friend?


This book has just about anything I could ask in it. Plus, the scenes are seriously hot. Like scorching hot. Two alphas who struggle for control in and out of the bedroom. The power struggle was just written so well and so freaking hot. I said that already, right? HOT!!!


“I want to feel the control over him that I can’t possibly have outside of this place. The question is, can a man like him even be controlled? Or would it be like keeping a lion as a pet and waiting for it to rip your arm off?”


Overall, I really enjoyed this book. If you like the push and pull with strong both a strong heroine and hero then you need to read this! Thank you for another great book, LP. I can’t wait for your next one!

Having read some of Lovell's work before, I had a bit of an idea what to expect from Tiger Shark. Her style is forthright and she writes strong female characters who take no crap from anyone. Georgia Roberts is no different. She's a woman who's worked hard to become the best she can be at her job, yet she wants to be at the very top of her game. Working in London, dealing with other people's money has made her a confident woman who knows what she wants and will not stop until she gets it.

To help with this, she has rules. The main one is to not sleep with her boss. She is not someone who will sleep her way to the top. She is determined to be professional and above reproach. Naturally, she lets of steam in private.

Throughout this book, I was backing Georgia up 100%. Georgia has the work ethic I wish I had, and the salary to prove it - something I also wish I had. The interaction between her and Quinn were quite possibly my favourite aspects of the entire book. These two women, both at the top of their games, backed each other up. There was no cattiness and putting the other down to make them feel better about themselves. No, these two women were friends and shared secrets.

Another thing Lovell does well in her books is sex. None of it in Tiger Shark is gratuitous and shoved in just for the hell of it. Each scene has it's place in the story and highlight how the characters thrive. The first scene with Apollo is insanely hot, and shows the reader just how controlled Georgia is. It's her release, yet she still has to be in control. Landon tosses that on it's head.

What follows is a fight for control that never gets stale or overbearing. The only reason this isn't a five star read for me is I would have liked a little more affection in places, but that's a personal preference.

3. 5 stars

This read was not the best for me but it wasn’t the worst. The genre was somewhat different and maybe it was the time I read it or reading it after a few other books; but I just couldn’t get into the story.

Georgia is a stock broker in London – she is one of the best tough as nails hard nosed women out there. She sticks to her guns and her expectations or rules not straying as they are the glue that holds her “hard” together. Being a female in a mans world is tough and if you want to get to the the top then you have to be better then the sharks circling you. Rule one: the most important rule .. never F**K your boss. Don’t stand for touching that isn’t professional, don’t stand for flirting and snide comments on how you look dress or that you have different part between your legs …. Definitely NEVER get his parts close to your parts because if you do … all is compromised. She should know because she is about to break rule number one --- Landon Banks …. Enough said.

The characters were decent and I loved the fact that Georgia was a no holds bar work my way up on my own terms woman but I just couldn’t get into her character. I just became frustrated at points and definitely am for sure a 100 percent action type reader. If you don’t like the more brutal books this is one for you.

Landon was a quiet lion circling until he got what he wanted. Predictable stories are hard for me to read and continue turning the pages. If you like the song and dance that goes with conquering each other then click this on up.

Thank you as always LP for the ARC … we love reading and sharing.

Again just because this was not my favorite doesn’t mean it wont be yours. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think! Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets.

Holy shit this book was kick ass. I've been on a bit of a hang over and this has pulled me out and thrust me right back in. This is a standalone and it is definitely not one to miss out on. 


Landon. FUCKIN. Banks. Sweet baby jesus that man is sex on a freakin stick. I loved him! Although there was one instance where I really wanted to kick him in the balls. But damn did he make up for it and then some. He's dominant. Hardcore alpha male. And who doesn't love a billionaire with a heart. Move over Christian Gray because Landon Banks just won my heart. 


Georgia Georgia Georgia. This chick is fierce! For real! She is one of the top heriones I've ever read and to be honest she's freakin incredible. I loved her rules, sass, and take no shit from anyone attitude. Her passion to be the best is simply amazing. She will stop at nothing to get her win. 


This book was freakin amazing. I devoured it from the first word to the last and was sad when  it ended. The ups and downs and every emotion in between hooked me. I'll definitely be rereading this one. This is a dirty read. It's not all hearts and flowers and there is some definite hate fuckage going on. Which was fucking AWESOME!!!! Don't miss out on this one yall! It's great!

Wow! I absolutely loved this book! It's a quick, easy read that's hot and you're bound to love Landon as much as I did. I read it easily within a day.

However, I've got to say that Georgia kicks arse. A tough woman who knows that to make it in a man's world is not easy. She's got her priorities in order and she works hard by a set of self-implemented rules. She's "one of the guys" but totally unobtainable at the same time.

Landon is a great character. Seemingly aloof and just seems to have a knack for pushing Georgia's button, aggravating her to distraction.

When things take a turn, Georgia finds herself cornered and even her stringent rules can't save her now. However, she's always been on top and nothing can make her submit - or could someone be about to challenge the way she's always done things?

The chemistry in this book is evocative and the story moves along smoothly. It's well written and heck, who can resist a man in a suit?! There are a few twists too. The sub-characters are great but stay in the background of the story, which works well.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. My favourite LP Lovell book so far!

[Stacey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite simply, Tiger Shark was one hot n' spicy read! I loved Georgia! She was one badass chick that could totally hold her own in a man's world. She is the Ultimate Alpha Female, if you will. She has constructed rules for herself and has stuck to those rules, that is until Landon Banks. Landon has Georgia off kilter from their very first meeting. Now, there are alpha males, but I'm quite certain Landon Banks ranks up there with the very elite alpha males.

I loved the power struggle between the alpha female and alpha male, it definitely provided great angst and sexual tension. Especially knowing that Georgia wanted to be in control in the bedroom as well. I loved that Landon was able to handle her and call her out on her pretences and get her to be real with him.

This was my first time reading anything by LP Lovell, but it definitely will not be my last. I love LP's style and the intensity of the story had me flicking pages like a demon. I guess this why I had it finished in a day - only stopping to feed the family. This was one hot n' steamy read and would highly recommend it!

[Lisa (Two Bookish Brits) · Rating 3 out of 5]

I just want to start by saying I really really enjoyed the first half of the book but the second half just didn’t do it for me.

~

I really hate giving spoilers but there’s no other way to say WHY I dislike the second half other that what I’m about to say so, SPOILER ALERT BELOW

Georgia was such a badass and had complete control of her life, she knew what she wanted, she had her rules and she stuck to them and then in comes her boss and all that goes to shit and she acts like a lost damn puppy? The beginning was a solid 5 from me but as soon as she slapped him and he become slightly aggressive because he didn’t like what she did or said that was it for me, I couldn’t see past how controlling he was and it down right annoyed the hell out of me. So that pushed the rating to a 3.5 for me. The thing that I actually liked in the second part was her finally becoming herself again and getting her shit together.

~

This is my first read by this author and although I didn’t quite enjoy the second half it won’t stop me from reading more from this author. Her writing is amazing.

Hmmm... sinceramente, nc qué esperaba... perooo no me terminó de gustar.

Sentí que los personajes eran como copias de personajes de otros libros que he leído anteriormente...

Landon... era un mezcla compleja de varios personajes que no valen la pena mencionar.

Y Georgia... muy vende humo su actitud de mujer independiente... nc!! Se fue taaaan al extremo que ya era muy bola. Y como que con sus acciones nc... no predicaba con el ejemplo... onda mucho ruido, pocas nueces.

Y taaanto amooor... para el drama... nc!! fue muy bola!!!

Ah... y la sinopsis... nc... te da a pensar en más, pero es vende humo.

Es un gran nc el que engloba a este libro -.- Pero de alguna manera, logró entretenerme hasta el final, eso es algo... o estaba muy desesperada por leer algo...!!
Una vez más, nc jajaja

Georgia is a stock broker and one of the best. She has rules that involve never having any kind of personal relationship with her boss or male colleagues. She is smart, beautiful, tough, and on top of her game. The problem is that Georgia never saw her new boss coming. Landon Banks completely knocks Georgia off of her game. She doesn't know what to do about the way that he makes her feel and fights it every step of the way. Landon is hot, hot, hot!! He pursues her and doesn't let her use her stony exterior to keep him away. These two gorgeous people make the pages so hot that they almost melt! The chemistry between the two of them is amazing. If you like strong women, determined alpha males, and smoking hot sexy times give this book a try.
