THE SYNOPSIS

I’m not the type of girl who picks up a man on a rooftop bar. Not the kind of girl who lets a man’s hands roam my body, discovering I have no panties on. Never the girl who has hours’ worth of o’s from a smoking-hot one-night stand.

But Dominick makes it so easy to say yes. His body, his moves, and his oh-so-wicked tongue have me saying it over and over again. Yes, please. Yes, more. Yes, right there. He worships every inch of my body, and I’m still sore the next morning when I meet him again. This time, he’s Mr. Dalton, my sister’s cutthroat entertainment lawyer. And he has a proposition for me. He wants to make me famous.

Of course, that means sharing a screen with my wildly jealous sister. It means giving up my career. It means the whole world will suddenly know everything about me. Which presents one catastrophic problem—Dominick doesn’t date famous people.

So, do I take a chance at becoming a Hollywood star, or do I pass up the opportunity to be with the man who gave me a taste of forever?

THE REVIEW

Dominick Dalton is a Entertainment Lawyer in LA who is a confirmed bachelor with no desire to ever settle down. He is a one night stand kind of guy and when he spies Kendall across the party, he knows she is his for the night.

Kendall Ray recently moved to LA to work for her famous reality star sister. She is a sweet, quiet artist who loves teaching art classes at the retirement communities. Growing up in Boston, she had long term boyfriend, no sexy one night stands.

After one super hot night, neither can seem to get the other out of their heads. But when Kendall shows up at a meeting with her sister, she is shocked to find Dominick! Dominick realizes she would be the perfect girl for a reality tv show and helps her land the spot. It complicates their relationship and makes her sister furious. They go on to battle their desire for each other, Kendall’s budding career, and her sisters revenge.

The books started out questionable for me…the one smelt one night stand, the drama between the sisters, etc, but it thankfully picked up a more solid plot and I was hooked! I thought the romance between Dominick and Kendall was so sweet, even if he was reluctant to commit, she wasn’t going to let him get away with that and his in ability to let her get away pushed them together. The side characters were intriguing as well and I am excited to read their stories in the series. I appreciated that Dominick was definitely an Alpha male but he was such a care-giver to Kendall and just so so sweet to her!
