I loved this whole collection. Each story contained within had it's own flare, plot and steamy hot chemistry between the characters. I highly recommend you pick this up.
What an irresistible collection! *arc generously provided by the promo team in exchange for an honest review*
Winters and Landish are an incredible team. They always serve emotion and steam! This is a collection of three full-length stories: Inked, Tempted & Mr. CEO. It was my first time reading these stories, and I loved them and all the drama they brought. The chemistry was best in Inked, but the rest of the stories were also very good. The heroes are hot (and at times very stubborn in my eyes). The heroines are SUPERB. They were all relatable, but C in Mr. CEO was the most relatable. I recommend this to all Winters and Landish fans and newbies alike.
Surprise!! Simply Irresistible is live and $2.99 release week only and FREE to read with Kindle Unlimited - it’s a sexy little surprise for fall! I’m super in love and I hope you are too!
Well considering this is my second time writing this review since I lost my first one, these are going to be very sweet and short.
Inked - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This read was great! I loved every second of Zane and Maddy. They have such great chemistry and an undeniable passion for one of another. Their story was addicting to read, a page turner and it didn’t let me put it down until I was all finished. If you’re looking for a super quick read, with great characters and an overall great story I highly recommend picking us this book to read!
Tempted - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
To be honest I was a little nervous when I started reading this book. I didn’t really like Luke. He’s a little bit too cocky for me and Elizabeth seemed so whiny even though she was going through very painful things. But after, I would say 25% in, their story and chemistry really pulled me in. I was totally intrigued and had to figure out what was going on with these two.
Mr. CEO - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
UGH! THIS ONE PULLED AT MY HEARTSTRINGS. I LOVED this read. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Logan is another book boyfriend to add to my list. He’s a hot, dominant, alpha male who was made to be the strong and confident businessman that he is today. Charlotte is on my top list of favorite heroines ever and I just loved everything about her. Her personality, spunk, intelligence, she’s a solid catch and totally relatable. This book had me busting out the tissues and I didn't put this down until I was finished with it. This was such a great book, I highly recommend reading this!!
Overall, I really love this collection of books and I love that Willow and Lauren are able to really captivate me. I highly recommend this collection for anyone who either loves these authors or is getting a taste test of what their writing is like. This is a solid collection of books and I loved each of them and considering this is a collection of three books, it didn't feel like a long read.
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
Simply Irresistible is a collection of awesome MUST READS by two of my all-time favorite authors. You like sizzling hot bad boy stories and forbidden office romances or even emotional roller coaster rides? Then this collection is just the right thing for you!
TEMPTED
What a great book by this author-dream team! Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. There were moments when the book became so exciting that I had to pause to catch my breath. And then there were moments when I felt all fuzzy and warm. The characters felt authentic, very well and detailed elaborated, their trains of thought and feelings being comprehensible. Once again, this fantastic author duo has succeeded in creating a captivating, exciting and scorchingly hot story that is definitely worth reading!
INKED
Wow! This book is another page-turner! I loved this story about a bad boy and a good girl living next door sooooo much. Both are struggling with their insecurities and emotions, falling fast for each other... I had to keep reading to make sure that Madeline and Zane would get their promised HEA.
MR. CEO
Mr. CEO is a heartbreaking, yet heartwarming story. Lauren Landish and Willow Winters have succeeded in creating a new bestseller. Logan and Charlotte Rose meet in Las Vegas and spend a hot night together, giving in to their insta-attraction ... Then Logan unexpectedly becomes Charlotte's new boss due to a merger, and from then on the story takes its only partially predictable course ... The two authors use masterfully placed twists and turns to keep the story exciting and very emotional until the end. This is an absolute MUST READ!
A collection of three stories by talented authors - Willow Winters and Lauren Landish. In this set, you get the full-length books of Inked, Tempted and Mr. CEO. Each story features a different bad boy and the women who love them. You will not be disappointed when you pick up this set. Great characters, steamy scenes and HEAs that will have you fanning yourself and swooning at the same time. I highly recommend getting this set. I didn’t have the chance to read them when they first came out but now I have them in one place.
Surprise!! Simply Irresistible is live and $2.99 release week only and FREE to read with Kindle Unlimited - it’s a sexy little surprise for fall! I’m super in love and I hope you are too!
I had previously read each of these books before they were released as a box set but it was an excellent excuse for a re-read and they were even better than I remembered!!...
First off, we have Inked... Zane & Maddys story: Zane is portrayed as a bad boy but the more you read the more you realise he's had no choice but to become a bad boy!! (and the scene when it explains how that came about - **gasp*!!) Maddy is of to uni after having her heart broken and so is determined to steer clear of any and every man! This story is full of twists, it's funny, it's sweet, it's intriguing, it's hot and steamy and it's defo worth a read!
Then we have Tempted... Liam & Lizzie/Elle story: Lizzie has come because her dad died and she's devastated. After the funeral, she goes to her solicitor for the reading of his will and finds Liam there. Unbeknown to her, her dad was critically ill and Liam was with him every step of the illness. I'll be honest, Lizzie can be a stuck up brat sometimes but deep down she's an ok girl. There is more to Liam than meets the eye...I'm a fan of Liam!!
It progresses from there really!
And last but not least, we have Mr CEO... Logan & Charlotte Rose's story: Logan is the Mr CEO of this story and basically buys over a company because of Rose! Is it your typical soft touch woman and hot domineering man? No, not so much - Rose is defo not a soft touch! Although, yes Logans a hot CEO 😉 but not in a domineering way, just in a mouthwatering hot way! It has a twist in it that will pull at your heartstrings and have you cheering for them.
(3.7 Stars) Three Sexy, full length books all in one collection that are a fun and easy weekend read. These are full of steamy moments and Alpha dirty talkers.
-Inked When Maddie goes out to get over her ex she never thought she would meet the tattooed stunner Zane. She knows he is a bad idea so she tries to ignore him. Too bad that’s a little difficult to do when he just happens to be her new neighbor! This is more than just a little neighbor romance.
-Tempted When Elizabeth Turner’s step father passes away, she never expected him to leave everything to his neighbor, Liam Axton. She’s confused, angry and wants answers. Liam knows what Lizzie’s step dad was trying to do but maybe he didn’t go about it the correct way. Liam can’t say he isn’t intrigued but the stunning Lizzie. Can these two find a way to make things right between them and bond over their mutual care for Mr.Turner? An easy and fun weekend enemies to lovers romance. Told in dual POV
-Mr. CEO Charlotte Rose Harrison quits her job after a betrayal. When she attends a conference she meets CEO Logan Parker and they really hit it off. An amazing night together is all she thought it would be but does that ever happen? A big surprise is coming her way.
All of the stories in this collection have been on my TBR for a while, so I love that they are in one collection together!
So far, I have only had time to read Inked......which I didn't love like I had hoped. And I think it had more to do with Madeline. One minute she's anti-Zane, then the next minute when he looks at her/talks to her, she's ready to combust. She was just too wishy-washy for my tastes. Plus, there were a couple of particular words she used that made me cringe - and with her being a bit of a good girl, didn't seem like something she would even say.
Now Zane on the other hand, I really liked him. He had his sights set on Maddy from the beginning and wasn't going to give up until he had his chance with her. Fate was on his side too, when he discovers that Maddy and her friend move in right next door. He definitely was the alpha-male bad boy......and I loved the extra little twist of him being involved with the mob. Added a little extra element of danger to the brewing attraction between him & Maddy.
While this one wasn't my favorite, I'm definitely going to read the rest and will update when I do!
I loved this great collection. You get this wonderful books that features some very likable characters, steamy chemistry and entertaining storylines. These well written books are filled with drama, deep emotion, tension, sparks, heat, witty banter and tons of feels and swoon. I am electing to post a forthright review.
Three great reads in one steamy collection. Each read has great characters and an entertaining story. Plenty of drama, great chemistry and plenty of emotions make these stories draw you in and hold your interest throughout. I really liked it.

Inked I really enjoyed this book! Zane is a tatted up,all muscle gorgeous male alpha! He has his own tattoo shop and does really well for himself. He's judged by his outwards appearance as a bad boy,keep away from my daughter type of guy. But he's also a sweetheart and protective. Maddie is a good girl,studying at the local University. She was hurt really bad by her high school sweetheart and trusts no man. Maddie was a little too whinny for me and fought her feelings for Zane from start almost till the end. She redeemed herself in my eyes at the end of the book though. I loved her friend Katie. That girl was kickass! When Zane and Maddie meet whether they're arguing or loving its explosive! Finally when their relationship seems stable an incident in Zane's shop occurs and has their relationship slipping away from them. Maddie is shocked to discover that Zane's involved with the mob. But things aren't what they appear to be! You need to read Inked and see for yourself! It's a fast fun sexy read! Very enjoyable!
Tempted Tempted is a story about losing a loved one,love and walking on the edge of what's lawful. Liam is a good man with a big heart. He also handsome and sexy as hell. He's one fault if you can call it that is that he's a bookie. He stays within the law but just barely. Elizabeth or Elle as Liam calls her is a university student studying to get her masters degree. She comes back home when she's told of her stepfathers death. She loves him very much and is devastated by his death. At the reading of the will she flabbergasted to learn her dad has left almost all his assets to Liam. I won't devolge why as not to give away some of the story. Liam tells her to go out on one date with him and he'll return everything back to her. She does agree but reluctantly. After their date Elle is distressed that she has feelings for Liam and blames it on her feeling lonely and lost without her dad. Liam already has strong feelings for her before even meeting Elle. Due to her dad always talking about her. While they are both sorting through their feelings some bad men want revenge on Liam,so they go after Elle. Tempted will have you feeling so many different emotions. The pain of lossing a parent,the blooming feelings of falling in love and feelings of being scared and afraid. Great read with wonderful characters.
Mr. CEO I really enjoyed reading about Logan and Charlotte. Logan is owner and CEO of his own company. He's sexy,determined and a workaholic. He has trust issues so he absolutely doesn't do relationships. Charlotte is a young beautiful insecure lady. She's self conscious and down due to her douchebag es who cheated on her with one of her very good friends from work. She leaves her place of employment and is finds another job at a different business. Her new company is in Las Vegas for a large conference which Logan also is part of. They both happen to be in the bar of the hotel they're staying at and see each other and instantly are attracted to one another. They have a dynamic one night stand. Her company is one of two Logan is looking to buy. So the day of the presentation when Logan hears Charlotte speak he's determined to buy her company so he can have her again and again. He gets a lot of background info on her,one being her middle name Rose. Logan now refers to her as my Rose. Their relationship starts off as supposedly just an office romance but both deep down know it's more than that. Their story has twists and turns and anguish. There is a part in Mr. CEO I didn't see coming but is so relatable to so many people. I really liked this book but I wanted a little more like why Roses ex wanted to stay in her apartment then suddenly no mention of him. Over all its a good read.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Inked Hearts Maddy and her roommate Katie are new to town attending college. To celebrate they head to a local club where Maddy meets Zane. Their attraction is immediate, but Maddy runs off due to insecurities caused by her ex boyfriend. Turns out she cannot run far because they are neighbors. Zane is persistent and Maddy finally gives into a date that leads to a passionate and consuming relationship. When Maddy finds out how connected to the mob Zane is she is put in danger. Willow and Lauren write dirty talking, dirty deed doing alpha’s. Expect total sizzle while reading. Zane: “Madeline Murphy, be my wife.” He doesn’t ask, of course. I roll my eyes and sniffle before letting out a small laugh. “You didn’t even ask.” I look into his eyes and feel so freaking loved. “Last time I asked you for something, you gave me the runaround for weeks.” My shoulder shake with a soft giggle, and my eyes go glassy with tears. “ I wasn’t willing to take the risk this time.”
Tempted Elle returns home from college to attend her step fathers funeral. At the reading of his Will she meets Liam, the man living in her fathers rental property. She is shocked when she finds out Richard left Liam all money and her the house. Surprised she lashes out and is shocked when Liam says he will give her all of the money if she goes on a date with him.
Liam met Richard when he was desperate for help and dying from cancer. Richard reminded him of his own father, who had died years ago. Liam kept his company until he passed away. He is drawn to Elle from all the stories Richard shared with him.
Elle is attracted to Liam and holds him at arms length because she is unsure of whether to trust him. They spend time getting to know one another and draw closer together. But, Liam’s work life puts bother him and Elle in danger. When this happens Liam is forced to tell Elle truths he promised to keep a secret.
Once again Willow and Lauren have hit Alpha Male Gold.
Elle: I’m embarrassed, and I have to close my eyes for a moment to calm down. “Let me go,” I order when I finally feel in control again. I try to sound strong, commanding, but my words come out painfully weak. He shakes his head and keeps my gaze. “Nope. I think I’ll hold you here until you check your attitude.”
Mr. CEO
Charolette has just broken up with her cheating boyfriend and left her job because they worked together. Her new job sends her to a conference to deliver a Keynote speech. While at the conference she meets Liam. Unbeknownst to Charolette he has thoughts of buying the company she works for. After sharing a incredible night together she sneaks out on him only to find out days later he is her new boss.
Liam wants to continue their sexual relationship and Charolette has doubts. Despite she continues to spend time and developers feeling s that Liam begins to reciprocate. An business enemy of Liam’s threatens their HEA.
Willow and Lauren write well together. I love an Alpha Male and strong, intelligent, independent woman. The love story between Logan and Rose had a layer I was not expecting, but made their HEA that much sweeter. Liam is a dirty talking CEO and his “Rose” holds his heart.
Charolette: “You don’t see yourself clearly.” She tells me the words I told her months ago. I tell her something that’s equally true in return. “I love you, my Rose.”
Simply Irresistable is a trio of full length novels from the writing duo of Willow Winters & Lauren Landish and I have mixed feelings about this collection. On paper my favourite should’ve been Mr CEO – workaholic billionaire falls for an advertising exec and basically moves mountains to have her. I loved the character of Logan Parker but Charlotte, the heroine, was so weak-willed and a total pushover she made Ana aka Ms Fifty Shades look like a hardass. If it had been an actual paperback I was reading instead of my kindle I’d have been tempted to throw it at the wall at one part. Not to give away spoilers but a knee to a certain part of the ex’s anatomy would’ve been more appropriate!
Inked, the first book in the Bad Boys Next Door series turned out to be the story I loved the most but strangely enough I probably wouldn’t have been drawn to read it if it hadn’t been included as part of this collection. It was a case of opposites attract when college students Madeline and her best friend Katie move in next door to Zane a tattoo artist who is also on the fringes of the Russian mob albeit distantly and not through choice. Madeline came across as a bit whiny to start with but eventually proves her strength when it matters. What I liked though was instead of this coming across as a good girl slumming it with the bad boy, it was Zane doing all the chasing fully aware that it wasn’t going to last and she’d eventually move on.
Tempted is the second book in the Bad Boys series but it doesn’t matter if its read before Inked as there is no crossover whatsoever. Again it’s a case of a wealthy businessman who doesn’t think he’s good enough for the innocent girl next door. I really didn’t like the heroine, Elizabeth. She just came across as spoilt and selfish.
I love how these authors write their heroes – borderline badboys …. mostly, but ultimately they’re men who live by their own rules, know exactly what they want and won’t let anything distract them not even the women themselves. The storylines are good with a hint of danger and suspense but I feel let down by the heroines. They come across as being so weak and spineless, almost as if they’re in some historical romance. At some points I actually expected them to swoon. The supporting females such as Katie from Inked are great and seem to be more well rounded as well as likeable characters so sometimes I’m left wishing the hero had looked more closely at the friend. I’m giving this book 3.5 stars - I’m deducting half a star because of my feelings about the heroines.
“Simply Irresistible” is a set of three standalone stories with outstanding character interaction, heart-melting moments, strong emotional moments, suspense, conflict, friendships, secrets, dramatic scene descriptions, and intense, passionate romance. Each couple reaches their happy forever, but faces some stumbling blocks to get there.
Inked: Maddy and her best friend Katie move to Grim Lake for college. Before buckling down for studies, they go to Club Dusk for their last night of freedom. Maddy has sworn off men for a while until she glimpses a tall inked up sexy guy. Zane is trouble with a capital {T}. Knowing he should keep away from Maddy, his craving for her triumphs.
Tempted: Elizabeth and Liam meet at the will reading of her stepdad. Liam became friends with her stepdad while he was ill. Before his passing Elizabeth's stepdad told Liam enchanting stories that made him fall for her. Both are dumbstruck to learn that Elizabeth's stepdad left all he owned to Liam except the family home. Liam plots to secure the heart of Elizabeth.
Mr. CEO: Is a storm of emotions that run wild in this romantic tale. I laughed, got a few goose bumps, shed a few tears, and cheered at the sweet delicious ending. Logan Parker, Mr. CEO, is not a liar, and is a slave to his billionaire business. His striking good looks and charismatic persona have women falling over themselves to gain his attention. Logan is in “Sin City” on business unwinding at the hotel bar when he spots Charlotte Rose. Making a silent pledge, he comes up with a plan to have the beauty he sees.
Captivating fast-paced stories that stir the reader’s interest to learn what happens next. Each couple’s chemistry is spot on and the storylines are well-written. Backstories give readers insight to each character’s persona. Relishing these reads, I voluntarily reviewed a pre-release copy via the author.
Inked Loved the storyline! Maddy is starting college in a new town with her best friend Katie. But when Katie convinces her to go out one night she meets resident bad boy inker Zane. Maddy and Zane had such great chemistry together, having a near constant push and pull. Then when all finally seems well, Zane’s big secret comes out of hiding and threatens to destroy all. Highly recommend, very good on the drama and a fun to read sexy little romance!
Tempted First dates are everything. You learn who the other person is, and depending on how charming the other person is, can be the start pf something beautiful. However Elizabeth’s first date with Liam is’t anything like that. Having been informed of the passing of her stepfather, Elizabeth returns home devastated by his loss. But things get worse when she learns that everything except her childhood home has been left to Liam, a man she doesn’t even know. After lashing out, Liam makes her a proposal, go on one date with him and he’ll return everything. But there’s more to Liam than we know. I read this story in a matter of hours and I don’t regret a thing. Beautiful story, great characters. Read it now, you won’t regret it!
Mr. Ceo Charlotte heads off to a conference to deliver a speech as part of her new job. She’s only recently left her old one because her ex worked there together with her. At this conference she meets Liam, not knowing he’s about to be her new boss, they sleep together. Throw in a business rival and you got some good drama. Arguably one of my least favorites, but still fun to read. Liam and Charlotte had pretty good chemistry, quite a lot of secrets thrown in the mix. To me it was just a little too predictable, but if you like a good office romance story with a few twists, I do highly recommend it.
Super hot and super sweet! The collection of stories in Simply Irresistible will have you captivated from the first story. Inked is a story about a bad boy tattoo artist named Zane and a college girl named Madeline. Zane and Madeline’s attraction is instant and things definitely heat up when she moves next door. However, there is another side to Zane that Madeline doesn’t know about and puts her in danger. Will they make it? You’ll have to read to find out.
Tempted is about Liam and Elle. Elle faces heartbreak of losing her dad. Liam is the last person to be with her dad when he dies. Both are hurt, both lonely and both of their lives are changed by a dying man’s last request. Together they find out they will need each other more than they want. Expect to feel all the feels with this story.
Mr. CEO is my absolute favorite. Logan and Rose. I loved how Logan refers to Charlotte as “my Rose” which is her middle name. Logan is the head of a company that purchase the company Rose works for. Logan and Rose have a hot office romance, but as their relationship heats up, Rose finds out Logan’s secret that could end their relationship. The anticipation I felt would not let me put this book down. This is such a sweet and amazing story that will keep you reading until the very end. I highly recommend purchasing this set of books. Happy Reading! I received and ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is a great box set from Willow and Lauren. 3 of my favorite stories.
Inked Loved this story! Zane is a tattoo artist, but a really good guy that gets a bad rap. Maddie moves into a new place and goes out with her friend and meets Zane. Then she finds out that he's her next door neighbor. She tries so hard not to give into him, but she just can't resist. These two were so good together!
Tempted Elle didn't know that her father was dying while she away at school and then when the will was read, everything but the house was left to a stranger. Liam had befriended Elle's father and paid his medical bills while living in the little house next door. Elle really needed the money from her father's estate to pay for her school tuition. Liam tells her he'll give it to her if she goes out on a date with him. They both end up getting a lot more than that and wondered if Elle's father had set them both up. Great story!
Mr CEO Loved this story and loved the characters. One is getting out of a relationship with a cheating ex and the other doesn't do relationships. But when they see each other in a bar, all bets are off. It was supposed to one night, but then turns out Logan is Rose's new boss and neither of them want it to end. This is one of my favorite stories that I love to reread.

Tempted When Liam hears about Lizzie\Elle from her father he can't stop thinking about her. When tragedy strikes they will come face to face. Liam knows he's not good for her but can't seem to let her go. But when the truth comes out can Elle forgive Liam. I liked reading about Elle and Liam, there was a special connection that you can't deny while reading their story. Another amazing story that I couldn't put down
Inked

Moving to a new place to go to school with her roommate and bf, Maddy meets Zane and the connection is instant, but is very guarded.

Logan does everything he can to be close to Charlotte but when Logan's secret comes out will he lose his Rose. I couldn't get enough of Logan & Charlotte but I really wanted to see her ex get what he deserves. Another amazing collaboration.
This is a great collection of previously released stories that have been updated.
Inked: College student Maddy is a good girl, afraid to risk the possibility of a broken heart with tattoo artist Zane, the not so bad, bad boy in this steamy romance. Zane is relentless in his pursuit of Maddy but just as happiness is within grasp, secrets Zane has been keeping put Maddy's life in danger. I liked the characters and the writing. I really enjoyed the story which culminates in an edge of your seat action sequence and closes with a sweet HEA. *****
Tempted: The storyline was good but the heroine, Lizzie/Elle/Elizabeth was kind of a mess and I just didn't warm up to her. Liam was a pretty decent guy. I wasn't wowed by this story, it is still a good read. ****
Mr. CEO: Logan has never wanted anyone or anything as much he wants Charlotte Rose and even though it's only supposed to be about sex, it's becoming so much more. She's tearing down every one of his walls without even trying and he finds he can't let her go even if it might be the best thing for her. Mr. CEO is a very steamy romance that grabbed me right from page one. (The prologue is scorching!) The passion between Logan and Charlotte is so hot, the story so absorbing, I couldn't tear myself away. I loved these characters and their story. *****
I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.
I LOVE this collection of hot, bad boy romances from two of my FAVORITE authors! Each book relatively short reads with plenty of swoon, alpha male hotness, lots of steamy goodness!
Tempted Elizabeth is heartbroken when she finds that not only did she lose her dad, but he left everything to Liam, a man she does know and is absolutely sure must have taken advantage of her father. Liam is a gorgeous bad boy that has no business with a girl like Elizabeth, but their chemistry is undeniable and makes for one hot bad boy romance.
Inked A tatted bad boy? Sign me up! Zane is smoking hot and the complete opposite of little miss goodie two shoes, Maddie. She tried to resist him at first, having previously had her heart broken, but the attraction to Zane, even with his mob ties are just too strong. This book is hot and steamy, and I love the crime element to it.
Mr. CEO What do you do when you realize you’ve just slept with your new boss? Logan is your typical gorgeous, alpha, mega-wealthy, CEO book boyfriend and I love him! When he wants something, he gets it. And he wants Charlotte, his rose. But nothing is as easy as it seems and there are a few twists and turns in this book to keep you on your toes. And plenty of dirty talk and steaminess too!
To have three amazing stories in one book, there is no greater pleasure than this. And it's from two great writers Willow Winter and Lauren Landish Three closed stories, whose plot flows, characters that are fun to read. Just a continuous pleasure. Inked: Zane the bad boy but when you know him deeply he is the boy with the golden heart. Madeleine the good girl, who is a little apprehensive, who is not at all ready for a man like Zane, is slowly learning to overcome her fears and open up and from a slightly weak character, thanks to Zane she learns to stand up for herself. Tempted: Oh, Liam, Liam. How I wish someone like him would fall on me. Lizzie completely does not know who fell on her. A story about an alpha male and a woman who knows what she wants. Definitely a sweet story that captured my heart. Mr. CEO: Who likes to be betrayed, No one. Then meet Logan and Charlotte. Wow, what an emotional journey story I read here. I felt all the feelings of the protagonists, connected with them, and fell in love. Like I said, three stories, written in a brilliantly fun and heartwarming way. Highly recommend.
An amazing collection of books by Willow and Lauren that will leave your heart beating faster and your head in the sky! As the title suggests, all of these women will find the men Simply Irrestible no matter how hard they try to resist them. You don't want to miss these well written co-writes!
Inked Zane and Maddy meet in a bar and are your typical bad boy and good girl. Only difference is, is Zane really that bad? I loved the dynamics between these two! They were fun and flirty and Willow and Lauren added a bit of thrill and suspense to keep you hooked and rooting for these two!
Tempted Liam and Lizzie are thrown together by Lizzie's father. But Liam's bad news, even by his own definition, so should he really be pursuing her? But, can he really let her go now that he wants her everything? Such a sweet and sexy story that will leave you swooning over Liam!
Mr. CEO Logan is used to getting what he wants, so much so, that most things don't excite him anymore. But when Charlotte walks into his life, well he's not going to let her walk back out, not after finding his Rose. This story will leave you an emotional mess but loving the ending!
