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.

BLOG TOUR

BURN FOR ME

by:  Lauren Blakely
Release Date: June 9, 2014
Novella length

 Book Synopsis:

She’s the one fire he can’t put out…

Jamie Lansing has had it bad for firefighter Smith Grayson for as long as they’ve been friends. Yes, he’s ridiculously charming and she might stare a little too long at his abs, but his dirty-talking, rough-around-the-edges ways aren’t for her. Plus, she knows that as a serial dater, Smith isn’t the type to settle down. But then a terrible, fantastic, mind-blowing mistake leaves her body craving more than one night.

Smith Grayson has only ever had eyes for one woman in town—his best friend Jamie. But convincing her a relationship between them will work is next to impossible with her refusing to see beyond his past. But when she asks for a week of no-strings-attached sex to get him out of her system, Smith knows this is his one chance to prove he’s not just the man she needs in her bed, but the man she needs in her life.

3.5 - 4 Stars

A little taste of the naughty goodness is just not enough!

Jamie has always resisted the attraction she feels for her friend, Smith. She prefers sweet and romantic. He's the total opposite of the type of guy she thinks she should be with.

Smith Grayson...wowza! I really don't know how one can resist a fireman/construction worker/volunteer/pleasure-giving hunk, but Jamie does. She has huge trust issues when it comes to men who she observes Smith to be. All the more reason for him to do his best to win her heart, right? Game on! Will one heated moment of giving into their desires be enough? I don't think so, especially when Jamie discovers that being naughty with Smith can be good thing.

A friends-to-lovers situation can be a tough place to be. Jamie has so much doubt and struggles with taking a chance on who her heart wants. Lauren Blakely continues to write some of the best steamy scenes out there, and the ones in this novella do not disappoint. Smith and his dirty talking all make Burn for Me a fun, fast, sexy read!

About BETTER WHEN HE’S BAD:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jay Crownover returns with a heart-stopping new series… Welcome to the Point. There’s a difference between a bad boy and a boy who’s bad . . . meet Shane Baxter. Sexy, dark, and dangerous, Bax isn’t just from the wrong side of the tracks, he is the wrong side of the tracks. A criminal, a thug, and a brawler, he’s the master of bad choices, until one such choice landed him in prison for five years. Now Bax is out and looking for answers, and he doesn’t care what he has to do or who he has to hurt to get them. But there’s a new player in the game, and she’s much too innocent, much too soft…and standing directly in his way. Dovie Pryce knows all about living a hard life and the tough choices that come with it. She’s always tried to be good, tried to help others, and tried not to let the darkness pull her down. But the streets are fighting back, things have gone from bad to worse, and the only person who can help her is the scariest, sexiest, most complicated ex-con The Point has ever produced. Bax terrifies her, awakening feelings she never thought she’d have for a guy like him. But it doesn’t take Dovie long to realize . . . some boys are just better when they’re bad.

    

  EXCERPT:

I let out the breath I was holding and took another step closer to her. The water was splashing on the sleeve of my shirt as I reached up to grab both of her cheeks in my palms. “Are you scared of me?” It was the start of the questions I had asked her what felt like a lifetime ago. Her answer didn’t change, but this time when she answered, she was holding back a smile that made my heart hurt. “Terrified, but I kind of like it now.” “Do you trust me?” My voice broke. I had never really trusted anyone but Race and now there was her and my brother and just all kinds of new things making my life so much more complicated and undeniably fuller. “With my life. I trust all the parts of you, Bax. You need to know that.” “You going to go to bed with me?” That made her outright laugh and she reached up to curl her hands around my wrists. “As often as I can and anyplace in between when the mood strikes.” The rest of the blood racing around my system went solidly south. I dropped my forehead so it was resting on hers and the water from the showerhead was cascading down around us. I was making a mess, but I didn’t care because I had her, and she was my home. “Do you love me?” The words sounded so foreign, but so right, when I was saying them to her. She brushed her full lips across mine and the last three months without her faded away. “Do you want me to lie to you or tell you the truth?” I smiled against her mouth and kissed her back twice as hard as she had kissed me. “Lie to me.” She reached up and put her arms around my neck and took a step back, dragging me all the way into the shower stall with her. The water was lukewarm at best, and it made me shiver. So did the fact that she started to impatiently pull the tail of my shirt up over my head. A task made increasingly difficult considering I was now soaked head to toe and the material was clinging to me. “Of course not. You’re the last person in the world I could love.”
