In Stilettos #9
Tantalizing in Stilettos
When sassy isn’t enough…
News correspondent, Jaggar Jakes, has always wanted to stand out. But being humiliated on national television, wearing hardly more than a pair of stilettos and a smile, was not part of her plan. Ever since she landed her dream job at TVN, Satan's spawn, Griffin Styles, has been gunning for her job. And it doesn't help that he’s sexy as sin and as charming as hell.
This time, the devil wears Louboutins…
All Griffin Styles has ever wanted is to live up to his father's legacy. He was well on his way too—until the sinfully sexy, Jaggar showed up, setting the network on fire and his desire ablaze. Now, he's up for the job of a lifetime, and he refuses to let her stand in the way of his legacy. But first, he's got to get her off his mind, and out of those stilettos.

I really love this story. Griffin and Jagger they made a super hot couple. Their chemistry was off the charts that the executives decided they should co-host the show. They had that lve hate relationship. But their attraction couldn't be denied. The sex scene in the office was burning up the pages. This was a awesome read and was true to its name. Nana Malone did her thing with this book and with this series.

Kobo+ Contemporary Romance. Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Work Romance,
MC's h Jaggar Jakes, TV news reporter working to get her own show, beautiful and not always appreciated for her brain, H Griffin Styles, TV News Anchor, works hard and boss Ryan on his team, very attractive to all the ladies especially Jaggar. The two of them are very competative and have a hate with (sparks)chemistry relationship going on. They both want their own TV show but the Network Hiarchy likes their chemistry and pairs them both on a show together. There are fireworks and their attraction spins out of control. Ryan their boss proves to be a big problem.
The connection with this book is to the Prestige Club. Jaggar covers a story about poll dancing for women and interviews Serena and Cara from book 1 and 2. This book could be a stand alone. I love the Enemies to Lovers trope. In this romance everything happened quickly. I gave this 3.5 stars for a short romance novel.

This is a white/White romance. This is Jagger and Griffin's story.
I enjoyed this story the pace was fast moving and I could feel the attraction the couple had for each other. They were very competitive against each other until they are forced to work together, which means they have to deal with their attraction and feelings for each other.
Definitely worth a read.

Czy dwoje ambitnych telewizyjnych dziennikarzy, Jaggar Jakes i Griffin Styles, będzie musiało wybierać między karierą a łączącą ich namiętną miłością?
Ostatnia dotychczas - bo zdaje się autorka planuje kolejne - opowieść z cyklu Na wysokich obcasach (In Stilettos) warta jest uwagi głównie ze względu na środowisko, w jakim dochodzi do namiętnego romansu. Właśnie z mediów wywodzi się ruch, który rok po ukazaniu się książki, pod nazwą Me Too, zwrócił uwagę na uzależnienie przy robieniu zawodowej kariery od poddawania się seksualnemu molestowaniu. Jako że w konwencję tzw. erotycznych romansów wpisany jest happy end należy przypuszczać, że w rozgrywce ze swoim szefem Ryanem, skądinąd przyjacielem jej współpracownika i kochanka, Jaggar może być górą. Do innych zalet książki należy jej zwięzłość, a przy tym zasygnalizowanie jeszcze paru problemów, którymi zajmują się dziennikarze przygotowując telewizyjny show. Zasygnalizowanie bez pogłębienia - no cóż, więcej od tego typu lektury chyba wymagać nie można. Bo jednak przede wszystkim chodzi przecież o seks.

A Very Good Read
I really enjoyed this story. It captured my interest and held it. At the end, I wanted more, which is the trademark of a really good book. I have problems getting a visual of the characters. I couldn't picture them At all. I wanted more on the mother/daughter dynamic, so I deducted a star. I would definitely recommend the entire series. Bravo!

Great rom-com
This is really nice and steamy rom-com that I think is great and I am sure that you will enjoy it just like I did. I really liked the steamy scenes that are in the story and I think you will too. I read all of the stiletto stories by this author and I thought they were are all good. You will think so too I am sure.

Sin lugar a dudas ha sido una de las historias que más me ha gustado. Sin embargo no volveré a leer algo de Nana Malone ya que su estilo no me cautiva, y el que los personajes siempre estén dudando de ellos mismos no me parece que esté bien abordado.

Competitors or Cohorts
Griffin and Jaggar spend time as sexy off limits hot rivals until they are forced to share on camera hosting duties in their own network DC tv show. Sparks fly as they grudgingly work together and develop a hot personal and professional relationship.

It was a well written, short love story. It was cute but also had a thriller side. I enjoyed this series.

Love/hate, drives you crazy but you refuse to admit it? I am a huge fan of the love/hate relationship. This one is a winner. Yep, Jagger is determined to make the TV News world see past her generous boobs to the talented, hard working commentator. She has a past of ignoring those who put her talent down, she promised herself to do it again--despite Griffin, golden boy at the station. So he couldn't stand her. So he pranked her at every opportunity--she gave as good as she got. The only problem--what she'd like to get is him, in her bedroom, against a wall ....
When she was afraid she wasn't good enough, she just worked harder, ignored (or tried to) Griffin and the scumbag manager and did her job. She took the garbage fluff stories and turned them to make a name for herself. The execs liked her and she had chemistry--even more when they paired her with Griffin to do a story.
Griffin has a huge problem with her--about the same as her only he wants her against the wall and him in front of her. Ignoring her has driven him crazy for a year. Now, with her so close he can smell her tantalizing perfume he's past resisting her stage. What about his job? Sometimes a guy's just gotta do what a guy's gotta do.
There is enough sexual tension in this one to hold up a rope bridge. There is no way that kind of temptation can go ignored when they not only have to work together but share an office. Wheeewwww. The heat, the steam the .... well you get the idea. They are great characters individually and as a couple, I am in love and this one will be in my Reread-again-and-again file.

This is a great book written by Nana Malone; this book is part of the Club Prestige Series. Jaggar Jakes is a news correspondent, she wanted to stand out but humiliated on national television, wearing hardly more than a pair of stilettos and a smile, was not part of her plan. All Griffin Styles has ever wanted is to live up to his father's legacy. He was well on his way too, until the sinfully sexy, Jaggar showed up, setting the network on fire and his desire ablaze. Now, he's up for the job of a lifetime, and he refuses to let her stand in the way of his legacy. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. A Review copy was provided to me in exchange for a fair and honest review. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

What can you say about Jaggar and Griffin? These two spent a lot of time hating each other - hard. Who knew under all the barbs and sabotaging there was really an undeniably hot chemistry? I loved how these two were thrown together under duress and found out that they really weren't too different. They were both ambitious, hard working people who wanted to make their own way without help from anyone. Once they let down the walls a bit the hate started to look a lot like love. Of course a little mystery for them to solve while working together that involved Club Prestige helped things get to sizzling pretty quickly. And it was great to get a pop up or two from some of the other Stilletos girls. This was a great fun read with just enough heat to leave you wishing for the next book as soon as possible.

I won't bother reiterating the story description. It pretty much says it all. Griffin and Jaggar had more than a strong chemistry. It was downright intense. I don't know if it was just me, but it seemed like this couple's sexual tension, attraction, and escapades was much stronger than in previous books.
I liked the fact that Griffin showed integrity in dealing with Ryan. I was really glad when Jaggar started to bring it down a notch, and not let Griffin see all of her strong reactions to him.
There was a really unexpected twist towards the end of the book. What I was expecting, just didn't happen. A pleasant surprise.
I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Well this book will definitely get your juices flowing, heart pumping, take a swing on a pole and still be .......... frustrated. Jagger and Griffin are two ALPHAS ....... on their desired territory. No one wants to be defeated! They are both vying for the same job while underhandedly sabotaging what they perceive as their one chance to out maneuver the other. The chemistry between the two is palpable but they are used to turning it on and turning of off (look what they do for the viewers everyday). How long can the battle continue before they both get burned/fired or give in to their lustful temptation?

Jagger and Griffin are an awesome. Jagger wants to be taken seriously in the news media and being that she is a woman with all the assets any woman could want. She is seen by some as just sexy with no brains.Griffin has had it out for her since day one. only because he is very attracted to her. Griffin feels if he is mean to her, he will have better control over his body. when they are thrust to co-host a show the sparks begin to fly. due to the work harassment policy they have to keep their fling under wraps.

I have loved this whole series but for some reason this one was even better than the rest! The chemistry between Jaggar and Griffin was off the charts! I enjoyed everything about this story line and was so sad when their story came to an end, I wanted more because I loved them so much!
While all of Nana Malones books are amazing this was one of my favorites!!! Must read!!!!

I gave this book 5 stars because it was great. I felt like I could feel the sparks between Jagged and Griffin. Ryan should be ashamed of himself. I am glad he got what he deserved. Great job as always Nana!! The Stilettos are still on the move. Can't wait for the next installment.
July 11, 2016
Yes!! One of the best in this series. Griffin & Jaggar are perfect for one another, I love his reaction to her “break-up” scene. Their chemistry is off the charts, that elevator scene…whew what a build-up!! Absolutely loved it, it flows well and sucked me in from beginning to end.

Office romance. Hate to love. These are two of my favorite romance tropes. The chemistry between the two characters was Super Hot. I did feel that the added sidestories of Jagger and her Mom along with Griffin and Ryan didn't really resonate with me.
July 22, 2016
Jagger and Griffin are two individuals with head strong personalities fighting for the same job and fighting their attraction to one another. What will happen? Who will win out? Pick up the story and read to find out.

Not bad
It was a good read and i could feel the heat between jagger and griffin. I subtracted a star because the plot wrapped up too easy and quickly in my opinion.
