What’s the answer to a slow burn? A super-hot fling!
High-flying US lawyer Teague Hamilton has always been way out of free-spirited Frankie's league, but she's never hidden her desire to break down all of Teague's barriers and corrupt him entirely! When Teague accepts her proposal of a naughty-but- nice fling, she's as surprised as he is. But will their hot two weeks be enough to quench a desire that's been burning for ten long years?
Lover of funny stuff, steamy stuff, and Campari. Gin too. Okay - and wine. And cheese. Doer of courses. Travel tragic. Italian wannabe. Eater extraordinaire but does not cook. Avid shoe collector.
Avril Tremayne wraps up her Reunions series on a high with a combination of friends-with-benefits and opposites attract, along with a sprinkling of Pretty Woman. And Frankie and Teague definitely deliver on the naughty.
As it happens, I like the slow, steady type, closely related to the strong, silent type. Kind of...perfect.”
Will certainly be reading more from this author in the future.
Oh I have been really looking forward to getting to know Teague a little better, so this was a much anticipated book and it did not disappoint, it is passionate, hot, emotional and I loved getting to know Teague and the love of his life Frankie, sit back and enjoy, you might want to keep some very cold water and a fan at the ready.
Frankie is an Aussie dancer she has been alone for a long time, looking after herself since she was sixteen, she is independent and only ever relies on herself but there has been someone that has held her heart for many years since she met him when she was living in The States, oh but he is way out of her league, Me Perfect she calls him, but when he arrives on her doorstep in Bondi to deliver a ring that has a story of its own to her Bondi apartment, things heat up and she offers him a proposition determined to break down his barriers.
Extremely rich US lawyer Teague Hamilton is conservative always does the right thing and there is a reason for that, he is caring and has arrived in Sydney for the famous yacht race but needs to see Frankie first with a mysterious parcel sent by their friend Matt, when he arrives to a near naked Frankie and she ends up offering him a proposal, he cannot refuse and boy does two weeks with Frankie open him up.
This really is a wild passionate ride that will make you laugh and smile, these two people have been very much in love for some time, Frankie knew she wanted Teague but it took Teague a bit longer to realise his love for Frankie and what a spectacular way they came together, these two were very much meant to be together and I can highly recommend this story, you rock MS Tremayne thank you for another fabulous story.
Getting Naughty by Avril Tremayne is a sexy romance for two long time friends who finally decide to give in to their unrequited lust and have a fling, getting more than expected in the bargain.
Frankie and Teague have run in the same circles for years, though they’ve never been more than friends. The possibility of a relationship may have popped up in their thoughts periodically but it was complicated by other friends, relationships, and long distance. Now, they have a chance to put things to rights and explore their attraction to each other.
Teague, an American lawyer, is in Australia for a few weeks around Christmas time, and delivers a parcel to Frankie on behalf of one of their mutual friends. Both unencumbered by relationships, Frankie proposes to Teague that they have a fling while he’s there, which Teague accepts. Hot sex and fun times are a given, but they have some complicated baggage – can they overcome their issues and find their way to a real happy ever after?
I loved this book. Well done for another fantastic read by the extremely talented author Ms Tremayne. Getting Naughty is funny, witty, at times maddening – towards both main characters Teague Hamilton and Frankie Lee to get their heads together and be on the same page, especially when they love one another. A rich US lawyer and hardworking Aussie girl, battle for their own wits in love, in this fabulous book. The story was superb and heart felt, when you read about their pasts, to the present, you understand their bull headedness behaviour to please other people. I recommend this DARE book – Getting Naughty – by Avril Tremayne
This book was so beautiful, and Teague Hamilton really stole the show for me - with his innocence, his past, his adorableness, his open mind, his insecurities, his love, his lust, his determinations, his fears, his protectiveness, his personality, his grand gestures... EVERYTHING. He is officially up there as one of my top five favourite book boyfriends, and Getting Naughty is also officially up there as one of my top ten favourite books. I didn’t think I’d like it, but the impossible happened and I fell head over heels for this book, these characters, and their romantically sexy and adorable romance together. Five Stars all the way!!
Avril has done it again! A sizzling read that packs a punch at every turn. Frankie is a hoot from the word go and the way she cracks Teague's "Perfect" persona had me grinning like an idiot. I love the splashes of Pretty Woman, the believable and well-rounded leads plus their supporting acts, and the awesome one-liners I've come to expect from Avril. I want to throw some examples in here but then it will spoil the magic for you when you come across them for the first time. You'll just have to read it to discover them for yourself!
Steamy with lots of sexual tension! This was a great read from cover to cover. Even though I knew there would be HEA, I really didn't believe free-spirited Frankie could completely knock down all of Teague's tightly wound barriers. It kept me reading to the end with anticipation to see how they would resolve their differences. I wasn't disappointed. Nice job Avril Tremayne on the smooth, hot read.
I LOVE stories where friends become lovers. Have been waiting for Teague's story and this did NOT disappoint. It's not only a hot, sexy read--the author makes you feel the emotions of the characters. I was completely absorbed and, even loving the other 2 books in this series, this one was my favorite.
This would be an opposites-attract story, if Frankie and Teague were really opposites.
At first, it seems like Frankie, who is an exotic dancer, and Teague, who is a lawyer, really are polar opposites, but as the story unfolds, it becomes obvious they have a lot more in common than just lust.
Teague has basically been pole-axed by Frankie since they first met. Despite being a rich and urbane guy, Teague can't understand why Frankie would want him, and he pretty much reverts to stammering and blushing whenever Frankie sasses him, which is often.
Frankie has been fascinated by the up-tight Teague for years, but she can't break through his reserve, so she thinks he isn't into her.
Eventually their mutual friends decide to help them out, and arrange for Frankie and Teague to have a window of opportunity for a hot fling. Despite their mutual and extreme lack of insight about each other, they finally manage to connect and it's red hot!
Teague usually tries to buy his way out of trouble, while Frankie brazens her way out, so they have to learn a lot about each other and themselves to make it work, but by the end of the book I was convinced they are perfect for each other.
This book isn't the emotional-rollercoaster of Getting Lucky or Getting Even - the other two books in this series - because Frankie isn't that kind of heroine. I'm glad she gets her happily-ever-after with Teague, because he needed her, and he's perfect for her. Even though this is a very sexy and hot love story, I ended up with a warm glow because they are so right for each other.
That Frankie opinion about herself is to degrade herself n fighting kind gestures from a teague who gets tongue tied around her blatant sexual persona. That frankie's asdumptions about teagues being able to adapt to other people's comfort levels n titles of his mr prefect persona shows her immature outlook about teague. Makes his own past that much more intriguing as to why he ever started protecting himself from hurt. Great ending
This could've been so much better without a weird-acting female MC who I couldn't, by any means, support her terrible ways of trying to convince herself she liked what she'd chosen as her career and her actions to get the male MC to sleep with her, finally.
The male MC was okay, we'd gotten to know him through Bk 1 & 2 and he was made out to be Mr. Perfect [looking like Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau] and each of his male BFs just thought of him as a "pain in the ass" or thinking he was "better" than they were.
It just felt like all of his friends either didn't like him much and the women friends didn't completely love him, especially when he dated one.
I do recall hearing of our female MC in the first bk, and that there was some rumblings of an attraction between them sparked 10yrs ago.
And this book became the execution of how their story would unfold and...frankly, it was crap.
Our female MC, Frankie, is Australian and works in a seedy bar "dancing"...stripping, for realz. And she also had a reputation of "dating" a lot of men, possibly just sleeping with them to appease the want of someone she couldn't have.
So, Teague, our male MC, shows up 2wks before Christmas. They strike a deal...fuck buddies for 2wks and then they return to their real lives.
Teague is actually very rich and kind of a "stuffed shirt"; he hasn't been sexually promiscuous or risky in his love life.
Anyway, a lot of dumb stuff is done, certainly from Frankie's side because she jumps his body like a spider monkey and he kinda sits there attempting not to scream at her how much he's falling in love with her, because, ya know...FEELs aren't supposed to happen.
I could mention a bunch of smaller details that went on between them... one being Frankie was going to take "money" from Teague for the 2wks [$50,0000 - he would've paid her $100,000] but hated the idea of prostitution?!?! or being called a prostitute???
Dearie, sorry...doesn't matter if you say you're gonna give his money to charity, tell yourself something special to NOT feel god-awful...it's sex for money which is the very definition. Sorry.
They do get a quick HEA which is perfect because I kind of wanted this book over before I punched one of the MCs in the throat.
