Hot In the City #1
Always Trust a Stranger
THIS TITLE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE
For Roman, sexual gratification is the ultimate high; addictive and all-consuming. It must be attained, no matter the cost to himself or the Blackthorne family reputation.
Considered by many to be handsome, arrogant, and tough, within him sits a ruthless determination to succeed, no matter who he steps on to achieve his goals.
But at the forefront of his actions lies the need for praise, and what better way to stroke his out-of-control ego than to seduce the lonely, bored housewives of upper-crust society and occasionally their willing daughters, amongst others.
Not averse to broadening his horizons, Roman plays the field while refusing to use gender as a barrier to halt winning the ultimate prize; the hedonistic pursuit of pleasure and sensual self-indulgence.
Anais Richelieu: an attractive, intelligent, wealthy lady of a certain age, secures the services of Kensington Renovations in a bid to offload cash for tax purposes. Initially unimpressed, the tide soon turns, and she falls for the charms of the enigmatic Roman, but success isn’t to be measured by first impressions, but ten solid inches of fulfilment.
Designed to melt your Kindle, this is the first in a planned series of hot and steamy, erotic short stories by best-selling authors, Zane Michaelson, and Kaylee Rose...enjoy the ride because it's gonna get wild!

Hot, sexy, and intriguing!
Kaylee and Zane aren't new authors to me, but this series still surprised me! The writing was phenomenal, smooth and sexy. The storyline immediately grabbed me. Who doesn't love a sexy playboy? Roman isn't the type of man to be ordered around, but he certainly loves to give orders in the bedroom. The dynamic between Roman and his father had me eagerly turning the pages for more, dying to know where this story would go, but it was the ending that had me gaping at my kindle, angry that the story was over! Not seriously angry, but that kind of angry that overcomes you when you've just read a book that has you so wrapped up you won't put it down for anything, only for the story to end! I'm eagerly awaiting more from this awesome duo, hating that I'll have to wait another month to get the book and read up on the sexy Roman Blackthorne.

Roman Blackthorne is a handsome, spoiled rich boy who cares about one thing-SEX!
While it seems to be his reason for living, don't mistake this short story as a wham, bam, thank you Ma'am read because it is so much more.
This episode sees him meet older lady Anais with the promise of them doing business together in and out of the bedroom.
Add in the strained relationship with his domineering father and later on, placed in a wrong place at the right time situation, I sense a lot more mystery and sexual deviancy coming from the pens of Mr Michaelson and Ms Rose, who have crafted a quick but delicious read that is seamless for a co-write.
Well crafted, and as promised, this will melt your Kindles, but will also draw those that love a bad boy out of hiding.

Wow..... is all I can say.
Always Trust A Stranger is the first book in the Hot In The City Series and is a co-write between Zane Michaelson and Kaylee Rose. In this book we get to meet Roman Blackthorne who is Company Director of his family firm. He comes across as a cocky rich man, who also has a high sex drive.
Has Roman gone too far this time, the twist at the end of the book has certainly got me asking questions.
I personally couldn't put the book down and I am looking forward to reading the 2nd book in this series A Blast From The Past:Hot In The City.😊❤

Meet Roman Blackthorne in Always Trust a Stranger: Hot In the City by Zane Michaelson and Kaylee Rose. He's rich, handsome, and sexy AF. Roman works for the family business Kensington Renovations and is the face of the company, but will his exploits both in and out of the bedroom be his downfall?
Individually Zane and Kaylee never disappoint but as co-authors, they turn up the suspense and heat to create the unforgettable Roman. This story twisted and turned and held my attention from start to finish.

From the series, Hot in the City:
“Oh, I never mix business with pleasure.” His cocked eyebrow tells me he knows I am lying and that there is more to his mother and I than businessman and client.
“If you say so.” It’s time to take my leave. I push myself out from under the table.
“Sadly, I have to go but it has been a pleasure meeting you, Kenji, and Anais, always a pleasure to see you.” I kiss both her cheeks once more but refrain from another awkward handshake with her over-protective yet astute son.
“Goodbye to you both.”
“I shall call you tomorrow, Roman.” Anais offers a small wave, while Kenji turns away.
“Enjoy your lunch and please give my regards to Anouk.” I know mentioning her will annoy him and judging by the daggers fired from his eyes, I hit my mark.
Turning to walk away, I think about what I’d like to do to him if I had the chance. But he doesn’t seem at all interested in me sexually or otherwise. Shame, I think to myself.
Though I’ve turned more than my fair share of supposed straight guys. I’d relish the chance to have a crack at him. I think of Richie’s ledger. Perhaps I can arrange a meeting and use its contents as leverage.
I desire him. I want him. I always win.

I have read all the stories written by these two authors and was so excited for this co-write and to see how they would blend it all together. They definitely did not disappoint and delivered a wonderfully written story. Roman is a force to be reckoned with and seems to always get what he wants, except for when it comes to his father. That dynamic could be explosive in the future. I love that Roman is super sexy and ooh does he have a way of satisfying his customers. This did have a twist I didn’t see coming and am anxious for the next installment to see what happens next. Will Roman continue to get what he wants?
Well done and highly recommended to everyone looking for a hot, fast and fantastic story.

Hot in the City is the first book in a series and is definitely a hot one. Zane and Kaylee have brought us a new alpha male, Roman Blackthorne. He is definitely a player. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series to see more of Roman and his exploits.

This is the first in a new series. Roman is a sexy playboy who is the director of his family’s business, and I was intrigued by the dynamics between him and his father, which has left him vulnerable and seeking praise from others. Anais is wealthy and approaches the company to invest money, and it is not long before she is charmed by Roman, who knows how to keep his clients happy in and out of the bedroom. This story ends in a cliffhanger. This dynamic duo of author has collaborated on a story which is a quick read, and is erotic, steamy and with a twist and mystery, and I look forward to reading more from these talented authors.

This was a quick steamy snippet of a story about Roman and Ana, and how they meet. Roman had some major issues, was very selfish, but I felt sorry for him. Ana was very open to Roman, and they connected immediately. I loved how self-assured she was and look forward to the next bit in the series. I was a bit disappointed that the story did not end, but overall, it was a good story.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.

"Your used to getting your way, aren't you?"
"Not as much as I'd like."
Oh, Roman Blackthorne, you naughty, sexy thing!
What a great start to this series! I mean, what's not to love? A tall, dark and handsome contractor who will fill all your needs - renovations and otherwise! One meeting with Roman and you'll find yourself drawn in and wanting more! And Roman has no boundaries - anything and anyone is fair game, should you choose to play.
Something tells me his playboy ways are going to come back to bite him eventually - and not in a good way. But it will sure be a fun ride!
Looking forward to the next installments in the series!
