SYNOPSIS
Some men fall in
love and hand their balls over to the first woman who keeps them interested—but
not me. Surfing and my freedom are the only two things I’ve ever needed.
Meaningless one-night stands are fun, but the drama and jealousy that follows
them aren’t worth it.
Until I met Natalie, I never realized there were women who thought like me. She enjoys sex with no strings, and with a body like that, there isn’t a man around who doesn’t want a piece of her—including me.
But our friends and relatives all run in the same circles. And we all know friendship and sex leave a mess. Hearts always end up broken.
I know it.
But I still want her.
Sometimes, the things we want don’t always come easily. Every choice, every action has consequences that can change you.
They can change everything.
And no matter how fiercely guarded, even the strongest hearts can break.
**WARNING** Not recommended for younger readers due to sexual content, language and recreational use of marijuana.

Excerpt #1
“Is this what you wanted?” he whispered as he took my wrists in
one hand and the other came down to cup my breast.
I swallowed as moisture gathered in my mouth and my brain
scrambled for a response. It was just so difficult to think with Shaun’s hard
body pressing against mine in the middle of his apartment building where anyone
could see us.
His gaze finally broke from mine and moved down to my lips as he
glided his thumb across my hard nipple. I could smell the soap on him, feel his
wet, warm skin pressed against me. My eyes fluttered closed and I pressed my
head against the wall as the lust took over.
Shaun moved his hips forward making me very aware of his arousal
before lowering his head and slowly dragging his tongue across my bottom lip. I
was panting now and my entire body was tingling. I don’t know how he’d done it
but Shaun had completely turned the tables on me. I’d come over to assert
myself and show him the side of me he hadn’t seen, yet here I was getting pressed
against a wall and turning into putty in his hands.
Excerpt #2
“Come with me.” She said
as she turned around and went back downstairs.
I followed her into the
laundry room where she opened the dryer and took her stuff out. I was too
busy
staring at her bare ass to realize what she was about to make me do.
“I want you to put this
on.” She said, her little black bikini dangling from her fingertips.
I started shaking my
head.
“Oh, hell no.”
Natalie’s face got
serious and she put her hand on her hip.
“A bet’s a bet. Don’t be
a pussy.”
My eyebrows shot up and I
gave her a challenging look.
“You better remember this
shit later. Those words will come back to haunt you, trust me.”
She smiled as I snatched
the scraps of fabric from her hand and tried to figure out how they went.
When
I got the bottom straight I held it up between us.
“My dick is gonna hang
out of this shit.” I said as I moved it in front of my crotch.
Natalie was laughing now
and I smiled when I saw how red her face was getting.
“You better hurry up
before the pizza gets here.”
I groaned and pushed my
board shorts down around my ankles. Natalie kept laughing as she watched me try
to get my big feet into the foot holes and pull the bikini bottoms up. They
were fucking tiny, my junk was hanging out everywhere.
“Here, let me help you.”
She said as she came closer and put her hand on my dick.
“That…is not going to
help.”
“Ssshh” she hushed me as
she tried tucking my dick into the fabric but her touch was only making it
worse.
I could feel myself getting
hard.
“Okay fine!” she said, giving up.
“Just put the top on. But
when the delivery guy gets here I want you to keep a straight face the entire
time and ask him if he thinks this color looks good on you.”
Natalie was laughing again
before she even finished her sentence. She seemed so young as she covered her
mouth like what we were doing was so bad. It was cute to see her having so much fun. I also loved watching her move around in that short dress. Her nipples
were hard and her tits were bouncing around a lot.
Baseball. Baseball.
Baseball.
I put my board shorts back on and Natalie helped me tie her
bikini top over my chest. It looked so stupid but I made it work. Natalie had
fun playing with my hair and swooping it to the side over my forehead. I looked
like a manly version of Justin Bieber. It was ridiculous.
Four Solid
Stars
“Women
like me don’t fall for guys like you. We don’t come when you call, we don’t beg
for your attention, and we don’t confuse sex with love. Women like me break men
like you”
I swear, when I
read the synopsis for this book, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. First
off, I LOVED the first book in this series, so I knew I was in for a treat when
I found out there was more to come from this author. Secondly, I am a sucker
for strong heroines; the ones who don’t live life within the norm. In
this case, Natalie is as promiscuous as the Hero. I love a heroine who can hang
with the big boys. I knew I was going to like this.
Why
can’t I find a woman like me - someone who loves sex but doesn’t need a
relationship to justify it? Do women like that even exist?
Shaun is
gorgeous, athletic, and just downright sexy. Women flock to him for good reason
and he’s all for taking advantage. He’s not one for relationships, I mean, why
bother with opening up to anyone when it all leads to heartache anyway, right?
At least that’s his way of thinking. Plus who needs to be tied down when you
can have your pick? But his carefree womanizing lifestyle comes with
annoyances, especially when those women want more. But Natalie was different; has
he finally met his match?
I had
the pussy, which meant I called the shots.
Well, well,
well. What do we have here? How fucking awesome is Natalie? This, my dear
friends, is a heroine after my own heart. Natalie is one of those characters I
like to live vicariously through. She’s beautiful, smart and knows who she is
and makes no apologies for it. She doesn’t need anyone, especially a man, to
tell her how to live her life. However, she knows there’s something different
about Shaun. He can most definitely be a game changer.
As much
as I’d hated the idea of being used by men, I’d enjoyed the idea of using them.
And I had. I’d used them to make me feel wanted, I’d used them to make me feel
special, and I’d used them to get off. It had almost become a sport for me.
Shaun has a
pull on her and she doesn’t like it. Their attraction to one another is fucking
electric. They’re trying to keep things on a friends-only basis, but
their chemistry is undeniable. Neither wants a relationship, but they can no
longer fight their attraction. Oh what to do, what to do.
We were
about to fuck each other’s brains out.
They’re two
Alphas trying to make their situation work. Do they have what it takes to keep
their arrangement?
I loved Shaun
and Natalie. When both characters are as strong-willed as they are, its hard
not to love them. Their banter, their constant flirting and innuendos: I was in
stuck between heaven and hell. I craved relief and when I got it, HOLY SMOKES!
But there was more to this story then their never-ending battle of the wills.
This story had so much going for it, plus it was so well written, but for me,
there was just something from preventing it from being more than four
stars. No worries, this story still rocked and I can’t wait to read the next
installment. Oh, Jay…**sigh**

About E.M. Abel
My husband is awesome and also a Chief in the US Navy. This means crazy schedules, uncertainty and lots of nights spent alone writing on my computer.
I have two amazing kids who always know how to make me laugh.
I've been passionate about writing since I wrote my first poem in the 3rd grade and I've been using it as a means to express myself since.
I think because I hold my emotions so close and fear being vulnerable I use different forms of self expression- writing, drawing, painting, photography, tattoos- to show the world who I am.
The one rule I use everyday is the Golden Rule--"Treat others the way you'd like to be treated." I believe karma is very real and sometimes she can be a bitch if you make her that way.
I love acting crazy, I love to laugh, I love making people laugh, I love the ocean, I love dancing like no one is watching, I love good music, I love good books... oh man I should probably stop there. I love a lot of stuff.
Please feel free to write me or send a friend request.
