Hard and Brutal
Ramona Monk says I used to tease her when we were kids, but honestly, I barely even remember the curvy girl. All I know is
(1) she’s hot;
(2) she works for me; and
(3) I want her, hard and brutal.
Of course, Ramona says that what I’m doing is illegal. She says I could go to jail for blah blah blah yada yada yada. Clearly, I don’t care because if she isn’t on her knees in about ten seconds, then she can kiss her paycheck goodbye!
Carlton James thinks I’m going to plead? On my knees? Please, Mr. Bad Boy CEO. You’re the one who’ll be begging by the time I'm finished because hard and brutal runs two ways … and you’ll be ready to explode by the time we’re done!
Holy cow, call the cops! Who knew hard and brutal could be administered right side up, upside down, and all the ways in between? Fifty Shades this is not because we’re getting down for some rip-roaring hard-core action. (Not to mention some things that really might not be legal.) But turn on the A/C because our hero and heroine are tearing up the sheets in this steamy, over-the-top romance. This book is a follow-up to Caught By Daddy, but all of my books are standalones and do not need to be read in order. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and always a HEA for my readers.

It Was Always Meant To Be -
Ramona couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw her childhood crush, who used to bully her was actually the new client signed by the company she works for. Carlton was shocked to see his childhood friend who he had lost touch with for over ten years, standing right in front of his. Even though Carlton was happy with the reunion, Ramona still felt aggrieved about what occurred in the past.
Spending time together rekindled their friendship and helped grow their affection for each other. However, Ramona received a piece of life changing news, which combined with the misinformation communicated by her supervisor at work, reeked havoc on their relationship and nearly cost them their happily ever after.
This was a really great book, that promoted body confidence and the beautiful forever love that comes from kismet. I actually started reading this book this evening with the intention of finishing it tomorrow, but I just couldn’t stop once I started. I would definitely recommend this book to every avid romance reader.

Ramona and Carlton were childhood friends. One day he said something cruel to get her to stop following him and some neighborhood boys and she was very upset over it. When she got home and went in for dinner, she learned that her dad got a promotion which meant they had to move away. Now years later she runs into Carlton when he comes into her job about a business matter. As soon as she heard his voice, she knew who he was. Carlton is stunned when he sees Ramona all grown up. Sparks fly between them when they reconnect. Romano can't forget what happened when they were kids and plans for some revenge. Its not long before things heat up between them. Just as it seems things are going well between them Romana's boss stirs up trouble between them. Will she talk to Carlton about what she was told? Can they find their way back to each other?
This is an amazing story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

I loved this latest story! I couldn't get enough of it. I didn't want it to end. I loved that Ramona and Carlton got a second chance. They knew each other as kids before an incident changed their dynamic. She moved away with her family. Years later, they meet up again when he comes into her company to her a pitch. Ramona is still holding onto her anger from that day. Carlton would love to reconnect with Ramona on a more personal level. Will they be able to make a relationship work?

Ramona: I will make him pay for being so mean to me.
James and I meet again after years of being apart. I am still very upset that he treated me so badly as a child. I will figure a way to embarrass him, to hurt him like he did me. But the chemistry is still there. How can that be? I book was ok, but it is not brutal in my opinion. Fifty Shades should not even be mention. What hard core action? I was disappointed, mislead by the overview and the name of the book. And the book was not very long. I usually love these authors book.

Carlton and Ramona are childhood friends that reconnect through work. Their childhood friendship ends on a bad note and Ramona moves away shortly afterwards leaving Carlton guessing. The woman that Ramona has become intrigues Carlton and soon their feelings become more. Will their relationship this time around have a happy ending? This story had me in the couple's corner to get their chance to finding their happiness! I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

This was a super steamy second chance story. Ramona and Carlton knew each other when they were kids but a couple incidents caused them to lose touch with each other. Ten years later they run into each other in business and Carlton wants to rekindle things while Ramona is seeking revenge for her hurt. This book was awesome, drew me in fast, and had me reading until the end. Great short, steamy read! I received a review copy of this book and am leaving a voluntary honest review.
