Garrett is the biggest manwhore at Eye Candy Handymen. He swore he’d never fall in love, preferring variety over a mundane relationship. But everything changes when Barbie, the drop-dead gorgeous owner of a co-ed strip club, hires him for a “special” project.

Garrett never thought he could find someone with a bigger sexual appetite than him, but Barbie delivers more than he may be able to handle. Will Garrett be able to admit there’s only one woman for him and give up his manwhoring ways?

DON’T SLEEP WITH THE CLIENTS—it’s an unwritten rule and one Garrett is more than happy to break.

Warning: Worked Hard is a filthy short story, filled with passion, threesomes, foursomes, and lots of hotness. If you want a story with condoms, suspense, and safe lovemaking…move on. If you’re looking for something hot and dirty, Falon & Nix Stone are about to deliver.

Garrett's met his match!

Haha watching Garrett meet his match was glorious!! He starts out with his same cocky, jackass behavior but soon finds reason to make sure he's not the only one getting his.
Pretty sure Barbie wouldn't tolerate his usual bs anyway. She's strong, independent and has Garrett by the balls.
Quick an dirty, Worked Hard lives up to it's name.

I loved every bit of this novella!!! Garrett and Barbie had such as steamy and heated connection, I loved where the story took them together, and it definitely made me enjoy this book and the series even more! This novella just has me more excited to see what I will get in the rest of these books, and I am loving how quick, and well written, and just downright enjoyable the stories are! If you were looking for something that is heated, that will make you blush something fierce, and that will have you consumed in it all, I'll be sure to check out this book and this series!!

This story was WOW. I don't think I was able to put it down, I know it was a short story and it took me a few days but I was dealing with other personal stuff, all while thinking about this story too. I didn't think the hottness and sexy factor would get any higher then the last story written by these 2 amazing authors but holy crap did they blow me away. I wanted more and more with every page turn, hell I was craving more once it reached the end. Shocked to the core with this ending OMG. That's all your getting from me on that. I loved it and can't wait to read more. The characters are different in this story and some of the old pop in. The start of this story really grabs you and holds on, keeps the flow really going, Hell I blushed every few pages. MUST READ, I would read book 1 as the characters all seem to tie together in some way.

I did receive a free ARC copy of Work Hard in exchange for an honest review.

This is book #2 in the Eye Candy Handman series. This is a short novella series.

The author collaborated with her husband on this series and they hit it outta the park with these novellas.

In book 2, we follow, Garrett, who is co-owner of the Eye Candy Handman shop. Garrett is also a series man whore, whose probably slept with half of Florida.

Garrett has been having an on and of again threesome relationship with one of his employees and his girlfriend. However, it's not fulfilling Garrett in the least.

Garrett receives a call to see about doing a remodel on an old bar. The new owner, Barbie, wants a re-design of the bar to make it a male / female strip club. Garrett thinks this maybe a interesting place once it's opened. He's only talked with Barbie on the phone but knows he needs to meet her just from her sexy voice on the phone.

Barbie is a California girl. But wants to open a male / female strip club in Florida to expand her California business. She wants to meet Garrett. Once Garrett comes to the bar to look thinks over, and her over, Barbie knows she wants him.

Barbie doesn't hold back anything. Garrett knows what he wants after he meets Barbie, her. Garrett and Barbie have such a steamy relationship. I wish this novella went on longer just to seem how steamy these two could make things.

Whew! Man, I thought that Spread Wide was hot, Falon and Nix Stone show that they can definitely work their characters hard in this smoldering, “don't wear any panties because it is about to get hot in here” novella where we get down and dirty with one of the owners of Eye Candy Handyman home improvement Garrett Johnson and a strip club owner..gasp! Can you imagine how hot they are going to be together? Trust me, it is even more sweltering than any reader could cook up in their imagination. Especially when Falon and Nix give us a little Eye Candy Handyman sandwich at the beginning of the story! Talk about some serious heat!

I couldn't wait to dive into Garrett's story because he was portrayed as not only a man whore in Spread Wide but a complete and total jerk as well...trying to keep it clean people! Falon and Nix did not disappoint with this sexy, muscled stud and his ego that surpasses his tool in more ways than one. I couldn't help but laugh over his outrageous attitude and fan myself from all his naughtiness. It was great seeing him find a woman who can match his sexual appetite and tame him in the process.

Barbara aka “Barbie” Hawkins is the epitome of a confident woman with a banging body who enjoys an array of kinks. Once she meets the delicious Garrett, she knows that he is man enough to do more than remodel her club and can fulfill all of her fantasies while adding some of his own.

Falon and Nix Stone deliver another scorching, short read that we leave us salivating for more of these Eye Candy Handymen and with a craving that will never be fully satisfied. I highly recommend Worked Hard for a quick read that will leave you breathless and fantasizing about naked chest and tool belts and much more than a home improvement project on your mind.

If you thought Spread Wide was hot, wait until you read this book. It's a short read but the sex and storyline is smokin hot. I couldn't wait to read Garrett's book because he was dead set on never settling down but one look at Barbie changed everything. This series gets better and better and I can't wait to read Full Service when it comes out on 3/30

Garrett And Barbie!

Garrett is a jackass. He will never settle down, not a one woman man and then BAM! He meets Barbie who owns a male/female strip club out west and wants to start one here in Florida.

Garrett met his match! He talked to Barbie on the phone and was very intrigued. When he went to meet with her and do a quote, he was done! He fell for her! They went out on the town the first night to see her competition and were pretty much inseparable after that!

Short, hot book.

Super hot sexy quick read. These two authors definitely have the Midas touch for writing. The story of Garrett who thinks he will never find love and Barbie the strip club owner, quickly establish the love at first sight bug. Although this book is short the storyline establishes itself quickly and leaves you wanting to get onto the next part in the series. Five stars for this book as a minimum.

This time Garrett is the “biggest manwhore” one of the owners from Eye Candy Handyman. Of course, Garrett would get a real life Barbie. Barbie, is the drop-dead gorgeous owner of a co-ed strip club, that hires him for a “special” project. And, of course there is an unwritten rule about not sleeping with the clients. And, of course Garrett breaks the rule this book wouldn’t be “a filthy short story if he didn’t break the rule.

Falon & Nix Stone do “deliver” a “Hot and Dirty story. I enjoyed reading Worked Hard and I can’t wait to read book 3 Full Service in Eye Candy Handyman Series. Due out in 2 weeks.

I got this book on Kindle Unlimited!

Book two in this series was even dirtier than the first, but in a good way. Garrett the man-whore finally met his match, and she couldn't be more perfect. Although this was a short read, there was still enough story to keep it interesting. I can't wait for more in this series.

More eye candy

The follow up to Spread Wide was somewhat predictable but most enjoyable. I love how Falon and Nix write together. ;) And I'm glad that old characters are brought back and new ones are introduced.

"Worked Hard" is the second story in the series "Eye Candy Handyman" by Nix & Falon Stone. They are all short-stories, nice and quick to read, but very very hot!
In this case we have Garreth as protagonist, , and one of the wildest in the “Eye Candy Handyman” group about sex and exploring all kinds of fantasy, with his occasional adventures, but finally he finds a woman who can match him beyond all his expectations.
Barbie embodies all his dreams, sexy as hell, but she’s also independent, uninhibited and she enjoys sex a lot.
What begins as a one-night stand with no strings, it becomes so much more for Garreth, when he finally realizes Barbie is everything he wants in his woman and doesn’t want anyone else.
If you want to read something very dirty and sexy this is just perfect.

Worked Hard is the second book in the Eye Candy Handyman series and is about Garrett and Barbie. Garrett is a variety driven man, never the same woman two nights in a row, even sharing with his friend and co-worker. Barbie is new to Tampa and is looking to open a co-ed strip club just like the one she has in California. Even though he swore he would never be relationship material, Garrett cannot get Barbie out of his head once he meets her.

Since this is a short story, I'm going to stop right there. You'll have to read to find out what happens. Though I am personally not a fan of manage or sharing, I have to admit the scene in the first chapter was pretty hot. That's it - that's all I'm giving you. I loved how this story was written and I look forward to reading more in this series!

This book is hot from start to finish! Within the first few pages, you find yourself in the middle of one of the hottest sexual experiences you could ever hope to be in! Can the Eye Candy Handymen come to my house? I'm sure I can find a ton of things that need fixing... if not I can definitely make some ;)! By far the best part was seeing someone bring the cocky Garrett to his knees in 2.5 seconds! I was so irritated with him in Spread Wide!
