Yet, from the moment he lays eyes on Victoria, he knows he has to have her.
He also knows Victoria's out of his league. She's a corporate tax attorney, with an important father. There's no way she's going to go for a guy like him - a guy who does filthy things on stage in a smoky nightclub after dark.

What's hotter than a hero straight from Magic Mike?
One who's kind, loving, and smart as hell!
Add in a tough-as-hell heroine and you've got the perfect recipe for a great story!
Let me just start by saying I applaud Ms. Kane for giving us a book where the heroine is more successful than the hero. So many times we have jobs where the hero is the billionaire/CEO/movie star etc and the heroine is the secretary/stripper/down-on-her-luck woman.
This book blows those stereotype away while giving us a story that has you rooting for the two of them to work their crap out! We're given the perfect amount of angst and drama while watching an epic love story! I can't wait to read more from this series. I've got my fingers crossed that Roman gets a book next!

I enjoyed this book though it was a little fluffy for my taste. The male character was good, the female character seemed very one-dimensional. Overall, it was a great escape read. I look forward to seeing more from this author. It was well-written and the story was well- developed, I just wish the author had put a little more thought into the characters.

Sylvia Kane is a newer author with Book 1 in the Forbidden Sips Bad Boy series. This is Bradley, AKA Dirty Dave & Victoria's story and their intense, immediate chemistry that surprising them both by turning into love & their HEA! This book will not disappoint as it is a surprisingly amazing story and a 5-Star read by a relatively new author. It is well written and has you hooked from the first page, I definitely was up too late reading this one. While I won't do spoilers, I will say this book sure packs a punch with a great plot, awesome banter between the H&h, with a lawyer, male stripper & doctor (strange combination but it works in this one), intense heat & chemistry, a bit of angst, add in meddling father & of course those steamy encounters and you have this phenomenal read, Stirred. Can't wait for Shaken, Andrey's story as we meet Andrey is Stirred. Do you want to see how this can turn into such an amazing romance? Definitely Recommend One-Clicking this Tremendous book to find out!

An emotional story of two people who belonged to each other but outside forces were trying to separate them. Bradley and Victoria met at a club and started dating after Bradley took Victoria off guard by his direct and assertive ways. She liked a man who knew what he wanted and went after it. She had a new job at a law firm and was trying to get established there. Bradley was in his last year of medical school. However, his employment in the evenings were of concern to him and he thought it might put Victoria off. She was looking for a fun time. But he was serious about her. After she got to know him she realized there was more to him than she realized. She started having deep feelings for him. Then when her father took matters into his own hands. He went behind Victoria’s back and spoke to Bradley to break them apart saying that his evening job could ruin her reputation. What a dilemma. The story follows the couple throughout their relationship. I was on the edge of my seat with my breath held reading page after page as to how it was going to turn out. A very good read.

I won this book as part of a Facebook group contest, and while it’s not one I would typically choose to read, I did end up liking it. This is the story of Bradley, a medical student and stripper, and Victoria, a junior lawyer at a tax-accounting firm in which she is trying to make partner. There were two main areas I had difficulty with as I read this book.
First, Bradley seemed kind of flaky in the beginning and slept with numerous women as a “perk” of his job. At one point it’s even mentioned that he slept with 5 different women in a two-week period, the last week of which he knew Victoria, so I had to really push myself to get past this. I’m old-fashioned and like my heroes to want only the heroine, and that was not the case here. On the other hand, Victoria came off as an ice queen, and I didn’t really connect with her or see why Bradley was so attracted to her; she seemed too career-oriented where nothing mattered but making partner at her firm. I didn’t think much of her so-called friends or sister, either, with how they treated each other and not being able to keep confidences. However, as I stuck with the story, Bradley and Victoria both grew to be more likable, multi-dimensional people. I could see how they developed feelings for each other and the other details became insignificant in the face of their burgeoning love.
The other aspect of the story I had difficulty believing was how busy both characters were. Bradley was in his last year of med school, studying for exams and preparing for his residency, working out to maintain his physique, stripping every weekend, visiting regularly with his mother and sick sister, and he finds time to volunteer for the same oncologist charity board on which Victoria serves. This is also with Victoria working 60-hours a week trying to achieve partner status. Additionally, she finds time to go out partying with her friends, has impromptu spa days, and sit-down dinners with her family. It’s hard to imagine either character having enough hours in the day to accomplish all these things, let alone spend quality time and fall in love with each other. But having an open mind and being willing to overlook these issues allowed me to find enjoyment in this love story despite it being out of the norm for me.

Stirred is the first book I have read by this author and it certainly will not be the last. It drew me in from the start and didn't let go. I prefer not to admit to how late I stayed up to finish this story all in one sitting.
A very interesting plot and an immediate connection to the characters kept me engaged throughout.
Sometimes an author will pack so much into a book that the reader gets overwhelmed with the details. Not so in this story. Ms. Kane did a superb job balancing all the emotions, drama and eye brow scorching scenes in perfect harmony. I also enjoyed how the author gave us a future glimpse into the characters lives a few year down the road.
Overall, this was a great story that I would definitely recommend. I cannot wait to get my hands on Ms. Kane's back list.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and there is plenty of emotion to it. It still amazes me to think about the stereotype social standards still used today. This book brings up all of it. Bradley is a guy who anyone should be proud of yet is not made to feel that way. Victoria comes from a family with social status and feels the burden of that. How the author brought these two together and how hot their relationship is made me not want to set the book down. Also I was overjoyed to read the hea. Its not just that there is a hea but the way it’s brought together and the look into the future made me feel happy at the end of the book. I feel there is little more a reader can ask from an author that what this story provides.

It’s a good book, with the story of two characters that meet when they aren’t searching to love anybody. She’s a young lawyer and he’s a medecin student who performs as a stripper. Bradley is a manwhore when he meets Victoria. They’re attracted and Victoria accepts to try him, for one night, even if she likes the man she discovers. But Bradley doesn’t really have the same idea and want more, so he find a way to be in her life. Like this, she will have to see beyond the stripper.
Nice story, with quite sweet characters even if in the first chapters Bradley is a complete arrogant player.
The story is finally simple, but with some twists in the second part of the story, and some hot sex scenes.

Wow, Victoria and Bradley will definitely stir up your emotions. She's from a prominent family and is a young attorney. Usually so serious she does an about face and goes to a male strip club and that's where she meets Bradley. She throws caution to the wind and just wants a night with him. He wants more, he wants her. There's more to him than meets the eye. He's a medical student who is helping his single mother and his younger sister with cancer. Their chemistry is over the top but there's lots of drama with her father who is concerned with her reputation and future. No spoiler here, but this is a great read and there's no cliffhanger and there is an HEA. I read a reader copy and voluntarily chose to write a review.

Can He Melt His Ice Queen? Loved this fun sexy romance. Really well written and the storyline was great. Bradley aka Dirty Dave, a medical student in the day and stripper by night, was fun and had a younger sister who had cancer. He is kind and trustworthy and helps his single mother and sister all the time. You can’t help but love him. Victoria has trust issues from her cheating ex Nathan so she was certainly a challenge for Bradley. She is a straight talking gal with a short temper. She works as a junior attorney in a prestigious law firm and all she thinks about is making partner. This book is a definite must read and this is my honest review of an ARC I received.

A fun sexy romance. Victoria is a very strong woman but when she meets Bradley she seems to day dream about him more than she should especially just starting out as an attorney. She meets Bradley one night out celebrating one of her best friend’s birthday and sparks fly instantly. She agrees to go out with him and ends up at his place but nothing happens and Bradley is just fine with that. They go out again and what a night and that was all Victoria wanted one night and done. Or so she thought. I enjoyed their rollercoaster ride and definitely recommend reading. 💋

I was certainly Stirred. I love this book!. This was my first book from Sylvia. I can’t wait for more from her. Victoria and Brad’s chemistry is electric. Their almost insta love beautifully depicted. There isn’t constant sex scenes which make a nice change. Just the right amount of steam to whet ones appetite. I think you will all enjoy reading this book. The Author gave me a copy of the book and I am happy to leave my honest review.

This was such an enjoyable book. I enjoyed how sweet Bradley was to his mom and sister and what a gentleman he was to Victoria. It was nice to read a story where the characters weren't all about the sex and being macho. Not that this didn't have amazing sex so you want to still read it but there was a storyline too.

This book was a fun one to read. Great characters, well written with true chemistry between them. Victoria has trust issues from a previous relationship. Bradley you cannot help but love. Victoria meets Bradley at a club one night and he is a cocky one. She does not get a great first impression from him, but this proves you can over come first impressions. They definitely belong together, but outside influences are really making it hard.
