Bad Girl #1: Bartender/heiress Venus Messina
Her Motto: Attitude is everything!
Venus Messina has seen it all. Growing up in the system, she's learned how to take care of herself. So when she's approached by a stranger who claims she's the long-lost granddaughter of a millionaire, she's wary. Especially when she meets her "grandfather's" new business partner, sexy Troy Langtree, and falls in lust at first sight....
With his latest fling having ended in disaster, bad-boy businessman Troy Langtree is starting over -- in a new city, in a new job. He's hoping he'll be able to figure out what he wants from life. Only, once he meets bad girl Venus Messina, all he wants is to have his wicked way with her -- again and again! And if he's lucky, Venus will be as bad as she looks....

3.5 stars. This reads much more like a typical Blaze would now (even tho it's a Temptation). Troy is a playboy and it's Venus who makes this story.
Still, it's got humor and passion and fun. As well as a tug-at-your-heartstrings Cinderella storyline.

I like this book for its sharp dialogue between the characters. The heat level was pretty good too! But that goes without saying with Leslie's stories. You'll swallow this one in a night on your favorite chair.

Didn't like this one that much. I like a good girl heroine a bit more than this bad girl one. Also I didn't really get that whole bad girl power thing at the bar. But it led me to read the first of this series which I liked more.
