Suave

by C.A. Bell

Max Harper I make sexy, sexier. When a woman is on my arm, you can bet your life she suddenly becomes a hundred times more appealing to everyone else around. Why? Because I’m hot as hell and I make them look hot as hell, too. There’s no doubt about it, I’m an arrogant hunk with an impressive six-pack. I’m not looking for love. I’m not looking for money. I’m just looking for a hot woman to stroke a few things—my ego being one of them. I choose my women like I choose my wine—if she doesn’t smell fruity or look rich, she’s got no chance.Brooke KnightI make sexy, sexier. When a man or woman is on my arm, you can bet your arse they suddenly become a hundred times more appealing to everyone else around. Why? Because I’m sexy as hell and I make them look sexy as hell, too. There’s no doubt about it, I’m a sexy, powerful woman with an impressive pair of legs. I’m not looking for love. I’m not looking for money. I’m just looking for a hot man or woman to stroke a few things—my ego being one of them. I choose my prey like I choose my perfume—if they don’t smell sweet or look expensive, they’ve got no chance. They’re both egotistical, powerful people with uncontrollably intense sexual appetites. But, what happens when two forces collide because they want the same thing, the same woman? I’ll tell you what happens—mighty, sexy things. * FOR ADULT VIEWING ONLY.

I think I came across a teaser for this book on Twitter and decided to download a sample ... the rest, as they say, is history. Super fun & super sexy. Entertainment value of this read gets two thumbs up from me. Don't go into this book, should you decide to give this a go, expecting something other than what the blurb says it is. It's light, it's hot and the two characters some might even consider shallow, not to mention, both are VERY free with their sexuality... but they are what they are and that's what I loved about them both. Sexual chemistry was off the charts. Add to it humor that made me laugh out loud a few times and those are just a few of reasons why I enjoyed Suave. I'll definitely be checking out more of this author's work in the future.

Cheers!

Max Harper is the ultimate playboy, a no strings attached kind of guy. He makes picking up women as easy as one, two, three. He believes that women are predictable creatures that show tell-tale signs of wanting to bed him. I mean lets face it, he is hot, well dressed, and has a body to die for. Who wouldn’t want to bang him all night long? Max knows he can get any woman he wants. He is quite picky though, he only goes for well dressed, classy women as he feels they are naughtier in bed. A class act woman that acts like a total slut.

Brooke Knight, owner of Suave, a gossip magazine, is a take charge kind of woman. She knows what she wants and knows how to get it. Regardless if it is a man or woman, her sexual appetites have no bounds. She is hot, confident, and sexy as f*ck. She knows it and uses it to her advantage. She wants what she wants and there is no stopping her from getting anyone she sets her sights on. It’s not like men or women could resist her anyway. She is the total package.
When Max and Brooke meet the sparks fly and soon after so do their clothes. The real fun begins though, when they try to seduce the same woman. Each trying to outdo each other in their quest to win. What follows is a laugh-out-loud comedy between two cocky people who each think they have what it takes to be the victor of their little game.

I have to hand it to C.A Bell. She really knows how to pull you right into a story. Although you know you should probably hate the two main characters you just can’t help but fall in love with them. Max and Brooke are egotistical. materialistic, and arrogant – all things we would normally dislike in people we meet, but little by little they break down our walls and we wind up rooting for them to find happiness. I also love how the author did not shy away from turning Brooke into a sexual dynamo, which I find to be very rare in Erotica. I highly recommend you pick up a copy of SUAVE, sit back (make sure you have a fan handy cause it is smokin hot), and enjoy this fantastic and highly entertaining story.

Not my usual cup of tea...although I love strong female and cocky male characters, these two tipped over into super egotistical, I'm so hot and no one else can even come close territory, which generally turns me off. But that being said, it worked for these two. It worked for the storyline and in the end...it worked for me. Some super smexy moments between not only these two but all of their other conquests, because lets face it...neither wants to even remotely settle down. But if ever there were two people who were meant for each other...these two are it. Max and Brooke are both no holds barred and take no prisoner types but at some point, someone will turn the tables on them. Will they be able to hold it together and is it even possible for these two egotistical hotties to actually end up "gasp" together"?

Suave was my first time reading a book by C.A. Bell, and boy, was I glad I did! Holy smokes! The story is about Max, a total egomaniac/playboy who gambles for a living and enjoys "dating". And Brooke, the owner of Suave, a rag mag, who is a real kick butt lady who rattles his cage. As the story unfolds their relationship blooms in many ways. Their chemistry is off the charts! Actually thought my kindle would blow up in flames! I read this book in one sitting as I could NOT put it down! I found that this book was scorching hot and funny, and totally entertaining and I loved it. This is a total must read book! I will definitely read more of C.A. Bell's books, that's for sure! Please read this book, you will not be disappointed!

::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::

I was very kindly provided with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I have given it 3.5 stars.

I love C.A. Bell and I love both her stories and her poetry and it pains me to say this but Suave wasn't really my cup of tea.

I loved the story of lust and revenge and the little story twist she threw in at the end that I just wasn't expecting. It's great when the author keeps things interesting right up until the end. It flowed smoothly, making for an easy read.

However, I just couldn't connect with the characters in a way that I would have liked. Although I feel like the author captured the chemistry between them perfectly, I just found them to be quite obnoxious! In fact they really were perfect for each other!!! I feel that maybe I didn't have the right sense of humor for this book.

You simply can't please everyone all of the time and this won't stop me from picking up her books in the future. If you enjoy a sexy tale with a good dose of humor thrown in, be sure to one click this!

Love it

Wow this is absolutely the best. Max and Brooke are sexy, cocky, and delightful. I loved every minute of their journey. This book is written well. This is my first book by this author and can't wait to read more. This is not one to miss.

[Helen Simpson · Rating 5 out of 5]

OH MY THIS BOOK IS HEAVEN. I LOVED THIS BOOK. THE ULTIMATE BATTLE OF THE EGOS. TWO HEADSTRONG ALPHA LEAD CHARACTERS. WHO DOESNT LOVE A SEXY ARROGANT MALE AND AN EQUALLY SELFISH FEMALE WHO KNOWS WBAT SHE WANTS. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE. MY ONLY CRITICISM IS I FEEL THE ENDING WAS A LITTLE RUSHED.

[Wendy Hodges · Rating 5 out of 5]

Two very ego orientated characters who love sex with a variety of people, they meet and though they frustrate each other the sex is off the charts.. Quite a good read, not a massive amount of story though they do go up against someone whos ego is even bigger than theirs, a bit different and a mix of couples and sexes. I enjoyed it as something for a change of pace from most of the books I read.

[Jamie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot read!

This is my first book by C.A. Bell, and it won't be my last. I stumbled upon this book while I was on FB. The cover and teaser caught my attention, and the storyline kept it. I read the entire book in a morning. I couldn't put it down.

I loved the cat and mouse game between Max and Brooke. Max is cocky as hell, and sexy as sin. Brooke rivals that in every aspect. She is his perfect counterpart. This book is way off the freakin charts hooottttt!

[Booklover BEV · Rating 5 out of 5]

Will have you HOT HOT HOT

WOW where to start? Max harper for a start. This book had it all funny, witty, sexy. And along comes brooke. This read will not disappoint you. And I never felt bored reading or jumping pages. It's got everything rolled into one. A new author for me, and I just couldn't put it down. I would have rated it 10 if I could. A great sense of humour entails, this book will make your face light up

[Rhiannon Hall · Rating 5 out of 5]

SUAVE IS AMAZEBALLS❣
I absolutely love this book I love Max, I love Brooke but together I FLOVE them it's an amazing read I really didn't want it to end❣

Individually the characters are are amazing but together the are off the chart the chemistry between them is HOT but not just in the bedroom, their interactions alone captivate you once you start reading you won't want to put it down.
The humour in this book has you laughing out loud, the cockiness and ego in both characters is just genius...not to much that it makes you dislike the characters but just enough that it has you rolling your eyes and laughing.

This is a must read that you will have to read more than once because you will definitely need another fix of both of them...i know I do❣

Bravo C.A.BELL on a fantastic book I FLOVE it❣❣

[Heather Ross · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book! It was funny, sexy, intriguing and kept me turning pages until I'd finished. I needed to know what would happen. The characters, while not terribly likeable at times, were definitely engaging and I was invested in their story from start to finish. Another great book from CA Bell. I love her work and can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

[Karen Shortridge · Rating 4 out of 5]

Brook Knight is a strong dominating business woman who knows exactly what and who she wants, Max is very much like her but you get the added cockiness from him and really wish he got gagged. This book is a very hot read, full of sex scenes M/F and F/F that is slow to start but don't put it down you won't be disappointed. While they cross paths their chemistry is powerful and strong but they really don't want to accept they have true feelings for each other. All the characters are what makes this story come together with determination, power ego, truth, deceit you name it in the business world it's here. Worth reading for definite.

[Amanda Lindsey Bursting Bookshelf Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic and Sexy! Another awesome book by Bell! I floved this book! Scenes were on point and super sexy and loved the chemistry between the characters. Strong, confident, sexy, powerful, egotistical traits between the lot of those involved in the story line. Witty and charming. I loved how they played each other and had their game on point. There were several points where the characters made me smirk at their comments.

[K.M. Lowe · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5/4 stars

This was the first book I've read by this author, and while I love a hot headed, stubborn woman for a main character, I really didn't like Brook knight at the beginning. I didn't like Max either, and I'd definitely want to gag him like Brook suggests at the end. However, this book was hot. It is full of sex scenes M/F and F/F, and hot with a capital 'H'. But up until about 40% it was a slow burner story wise. It was two main characters who crossed paths through connections, and their chemistry was off the charts, but it wasn't until halfway through that the dots started connecting, I started to like Brook and Max, and all the characters got what they wanted. The ending was hilarious. I mean, I saw it coming but to see the two main characters played was the best moment of the book for me.
I can see Max and Brook having this wonderful life together, because they're both mouthy, stubborn, and won't back down. Two characters couldn't be better suited, because they act, and say similar things.
So, all in all, it's a hot, steamy book. If you like a book full of sex, with little story this is the book for you.
P.S I did like the poker background and the twist with Lennox, I'm glad he got what he deserved, because he was a snake. Lol

I was kindly given an arc of this book by the author herself for an honest review.

Well C.A. Bell you've done it again hun. It's been a while since i've laughed out loud at a book I was reading and I have to say this book made me howl.

I love each and every book of C.A Bell's but this one has to be hands down my favourite. It's sexy sultry and damn right hot.

Story centres round Max an "entrepreneur" and Brooke who is a magazine editor and creator of hit magazine Suave.

Now both Max and Brooke both love sex and not ashamed to love it either. So when they both cross paths you know it's gonna be sexy. So when they want the same woman all hell breaks loose and hilarity ensues. Max has me laughing out loud this guy is brilliant and sexy to boot. Brooke doesn't back down from anything and willing to take risks and thats why I love her too.

I couldn't fault this book at all just like the rest of C.A Bell's books. Well done girl you've done it again and cannot wait to read what your dirty filthy mind comes up with next.

[Deborah G. · Rating 2 out of 5]

If you like to read about a hell of a lot of sex with very little emotions, except maybe lust, then this is the book for you. These characters make no apologies for who they are & what they want. Which by the way is lots of sex. Brook owns a top magazine & Max is a professional card player/gambler. They meet in a bar, have a great one night stand which leads them to an unconventional... what??? Friendship, not really & definitely not frequent lovers. Each loves the new & fresh & both are definitely up for any challenge. Somewhere in the middle of the book they decide to work together to solve a personal problem. They have each other's backs & this is when I think, hmm, maybe these two might get together for a relationship after all. There's a hint of this but the ending is inconclusive. I prefer the guy meets woman story, a few conflicts to make it interesting, and even if it takes a few books, I want the HEA. Though I liked the characters, I felt unattached. I was missing a real relationship & this is why it received only two stars.

[Louise Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I Loved everything about this book from the characters down to the titles of the chapters. This book had me laughing out loud on many occasions throughout. It was light hearted and full of fun. Yes the characters Max and Brooke were a bit full of themselves but I think that's what made them so likeable. I think they complimented each other really well. It's got a great storyline not like any others I've read which made a refreshing change. This book has got everything, Great Characters, Great Storyline, Hot Sex Scenes, Great Characters, Witty Chapter Titles and Plenty of Laughs! It's definitely amongst my top 10 reads. I could write so much more that I loved about this book but don't want to leave any spoilers

[Holly Gill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic!!

What an amazing read about two headstrong ego's Max an "entrepreneur" and Brooke who runs the magazine Suave. They both love sex and aren't ashamed to put it about. If they want it they will have it.

They meet one another in a bar and this is where sexier gets sexier, the heat that generates of these two characters is remarkable. They end up bouncing of one another, loving it, but not prepared to admit it. They end up in a battle, a sexy one of course.

The book has you laughing throughout and hooked. Hot, sophisticated and darn right super sexy. Great quick read from the fantastic C. A. Bell.

[Book-Lovin-Momma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Max and Brooke both have a confident arrogance about them. They're two peas in a pod. I loved this book - it wasn't deep and dark. Instead, they're just two individuals who know how to get what they want. The dialogue was snappy and funny, and at times their swagger really made me laugh at how egotistical they were. I loved this story - irreverent, humorous, and anything goes! Expect the unexpected.

[Ursula Schutte · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was given Suave as an Arc for an honest review.

This is my first book by CA Bell. Max and Brooke what a combination. Both the domineering Alpha Male ego's. Max the gambler and Brook the owner of Sauve magazine, both competing for Jasmine but who will win in the end. The book is filled with lust and revenge which will keep you on the edge of your seat beginning till end.

I give Sauve a 5 star rating. Well done CA Bell on an excellent story. Looking forward to reading more of your books.

[Kirsty Adams - Kindle Freak Book Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

A brilliant, fun story where both characters like control and playing the field. Searing hot sex scenes as well as a cracking storyline, Max and Brooke both have definitely met their match!

I loved Brooke’s feisty temperament - it was so refreshing - she’s no walk over! And Max, well he oozes sex appeal, he’s flirty, cocky and is always up for a challenge.

Together they are a force of their own, and boy did I enjoy their challenging relationship. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
