Falling for the Enemy by Samanthe Beck Release Day ARC #Review

Title: Falling for the Enemy
Author: Samanthe Beck
Series: Private Pleasures #3
Publisher: Entangled Publishing Brazen imprint
Release Date: December 1, 2014

Synopsis:
Caught between a rock and a rock-hard body…

Salon owner Virginia Boca has declared herself celibate...at least until she wins the election for mayor of Bluelick, Kentucky. No hot men. No sex. And her plan to play the good girl might have worked—if the mysterious, hard-bodied stranger she’s seen around town hadn't pulled her from the street and saved her life. The least Ginny can do is offer her savior a free haircut. But when an innocent haircut turns into hours of wickedly hot sex, former Navy SEAL Shaun Buchanan knows his plan to keep a low profile is shot. Especially once Ginny finds out he’s the current mayor's son. With her reputation and the election on the line, Ginny seems determined to keep their nightly sexcapades a secret, but Shaun’s not willing to stay in the shadows forever…



You’ve GOT to meet Wolverine!!!

Falling for the Enemy can be read as a stand-alone, but having read Light Her Fire (Private Pleasures #2), Samanthe Beck introduced and teased us with a minor character. Ginny nicknamed him Wolverine, and I was left wondering who the heck this dark, mysterious, and intriguing character is? Let me have his story, please! Well, Ms. Beck did not disappoint. Y’all need to meet Wolverine…ahem…ex-US Navy SEAL Shaun Buchanan!!!

Ginny is trying to stay on her self-imposed sex hiatus, since she’s running for mayor and all. She doesn’t want any dirty little secrets to come out during her campaign. Understandable, right? When Wolverine becomes her savior, they know very little about each other, and give into their desire and lust many times. He doesn’t know she’s running for mayor, and she doesn’t know he’s the current mayor’s son, oops!

It was really great to be back in the small town of Bluelick, Kentucky again in this book. Samanthe Beck wrote a story with a fun don’t-want-to-be-caught-in-a-compromising-position type of plot. Fans of her stories know she can write super sexy scenes, and there are plenty of nice, steamy ones in Falling for the Enemy, because…

…“Wolverine’s got skills.”

Yes, yes he does!!!

Light Her Fire by Samanthe Beck ~ Release Day Review

Happy Release Day to Samanthe Beck!

What is it about a HOT fireman?

Title: Light Her Fire
Author: Samanthe Beck
Series: Private Pleasures #2
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 20, 2014

Synopsis:
He’ll show this good girl the thrill of being bad… 

Good girl Melody Merritt is ready to be bad. Fresh out of an unsatisfying ten-year engagement to the town golden boy, she’s determined to make up for lost time. And who better to burn her sterling reputation to the ground than Bluelick’s sinfully sexy new fire chief whose wicked gaze promises complete and utter domination? Yes, please.


Corrupting the prim and proper Little Miss Bluelick is the most action Josh Bradley’s seen since he transferred from Cincinnati to fast-track his career. He won’t let anything or anyone—not even the delectable Melody Merritt—trap him in this Kentucky-fried Mayberry, but when their searing chemistry yields an unexpected result, he realizes he’s started a blaze that's completely beyond his control…

5-Alarm HOT Fireman Alert!

I’m back for more of Samanthe Beck’s yummy stories, and this one is a HOT one, folks!  As I started to read Light Her Fire, I backtracked a bit and decided to read book 1, Private Practice, first.  It was a short read, and boy was I glad I took that side detour.  For those who have read Private Practice, you know that scene between Melody and Josh? Yeah, thaaat one! I know y’all wanted more of them after reading that particular scene. Well, Ms. Beck graciously indulges us on how that scene came about with more delicious detail in Light Her Fire! That alone should be worth reading this! Don’t worry, even if you have not read Private Practice, I’m happy to tell you that Light Her Fire can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone.

This Private Pleasures installment is indeed Melody and Josh’s story.  Josh Bradley just moved to the small town of Bluelick as the town’s new fire chief.  He’s still not sure about setting up roots and staying in town, but meeting Melody Merritt sure did make things way more interesting.  Melody is known as Bluelick’s prim and proper good girl, and she’s freaking tired of that! I mean who could blame her after waiting and waiting for the right man to come along to help her unlock and explore her passionate side. This chick is ready for some naughty in her life!

“This man wanted to get down and dirty…with her. No hesitation.” eARC loc 176

Thank goodness that Josh is there to help her out.  Samanthe Beck is amazing at writing great sexy stories, and I think she stepped it up a notch with Melody and Josh’s scenes as they were pretty off-the-charts steamy.  I also loved where she took the story, as well. The mystery/suspense aspect kept me reading. A few of the secondary characters were warm, fun, and make for true friendships. Ms. Beck also very slightly teased on which couple will be in the next book. If my guess is correct, I can’t wait for more!

Read Light Her Fire if you’re in the mood for some small town steam with a good girl trying to be bad with a HOT fireman! Just be ready to fan yourself!

#WeddingDare Series Tour - Best Man with Benefits by Samanthe Beck ARC #Review

You are cordially invited to...

Title: Best Man with Benefits
Author: Samanthe Beck
Series: Wedding Dare
Release Date: June 9, 2014

A sexy category romance by Entangled’s Brazen imprint…

How far can one favor go…

Logan McCade arrives at his best friend’s wedding overworked and in desperate need of a vacation, only to discover his best man duties have been…expanded. He must coax Colton’s sister out of her shell, or risk her hiding in her room all week. Logan figures he can handle one introverted bridesmaid, but he’s not expecting how much he enjoys “handling” Sophie…or how much she enjoys being handled. 

Socializing has never been web designer Sophie Brooks’s strong suit, but she’s determined to shed her wallflower image and embrace the “New Sophie”—a feat made easier with the supremely sexy Logan McCade tempting her to explore all her forbidden fantasies. If she’s not careful, she just might fall for the best man.

Sophie’s sweet, sexy, and delectably awkward demeanor brings much-needed calm to Logan’s hectic life. With the nuptials only days away, Logan is forced to face the possibility that his favor to a friend might have become something else entirely…and that he’s not willing to let Sophie go. Ever.

Five Stars

As a huge favor to his best friend, Colt (Dare to Resist), Logan agrees to help Colt's younger sister, Sophie, partake in all the pre-wedding activities. Sure, no problem, right? When he gets an eyeful of grown-up Sophie and starts to spend time with her...oh boy! Who knew being best man at this particular destination wedding could spin his life a whole new way.

Logan McCade. Paging Logan 'Pantyripper' McCade.”

Samanthe Beck has done it again! Move over Trevor (Lover Undercover) and Michael (Falling for the Marine), because Logan has become my favorite McCade brother! Mmmhmm! Logan and Sophie's story blew me away!

I just adored Sophie. Although usually shy, awkward, and self-conscious, Sophie arrives at her brother's wedding determined to be “New Sophie”, and she can't even believe gorgeous, “Mr. Perfect” Logan wants to spend time with her. Despite the favor Logan is trying to fulfill, I loved how I was convinced that these two were truly meant for each other. Between hilarious and tender moments, Logan gradually pulls Sophie out of her shell. She, in turn, shows him that there's more to life than working all the time. These two were absolutely explosive together!!! Certain scenes were just so yummy and hot, hot, hot!!!

There are a lot of things I plan to do to you, and yes, you probably will scream, but not because you have a low pain tolerance.”

Other than having read the prequel Dare to Resist, I have not read the other stories in the Wedding Dare series yet. I loved how in Best Man with Benefits we get little enticing snippets here and there on what's going on with the other characters in this series. The timeline for the Wedding Dare stories all seem to cover the days leading up Colt and Kady's wedding, so if you want to know what happens to the other bridesmaids and groomsmen, you'll need to read their own stories. I know I'm going to make time to read them all now. Thank you, Samanthe Beck, for making me laugh, cry, and swoon with Best Man with Benefits! I'll be dreaming about Logan for a long time.

Don't miss where it all began...

Dare to Resist by Laura Kaye

Trapped and tempted, this battle of wills rages all night long…

Colton Brooks is in hell. Being trapped in a tiny motel room with Kady Dresco, the object of his darkest fantasies, will require every ounce of his restraint. She’s his best friend’s brilliant little sister, not to mention his competition for a lucrative military security services contract. Craving her submission is not allowed. But as her proximity and the memory of their steamy near-miss three years ago slowly destroys his resolve, Colton’s not sure how much longer he can keep his hands off…or his heart closed.
