Taking the Score

Check out this and my other reviews at My Blog, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest Copy received via netgalley in exchange for an honest review ★Book Basics★ Genre : - Cont. Romance Series : - 2nd in series, can be read as a stand alone. Love triangle? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] Cheating? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] HEA? - (view spoiler)[Yes (hide spoiler)] Would I read more by this author/or in this series? - Yes Rating - 4 ★Review★ This was a hot fun short read. It is chock full of humour, with a bit of a geeky hero, who has an inner caveman, and a heroine who is hiding who she really is, but cannot stop the bad girl coming out. The hero has been fantasizing about his dowdy PA for months, and then gets the shock of his life, when he takes a client to a strip club and gets the shock of his life, and possibly the worlds most awkward lap dance. After that, neither can control themselves. But, neither have really moved on from their past, and find it hard to trust and let the other in. I enjoyed this so much, it is a fast, fun sexy read, and I adored the hero and the heroine. My only complaint is down to its shortness, both of their pasts, for me could have been explored in more depth, and it could have been longer, just so I could enjoy reading about them a bit more. I will definitely read more by this author.

Originally posted at Booklovers For Life I’ve only read one other book by Kate Meader, but I freaking LOVED it (and the alpha male) so I was excited to read another book by her! Plus, this is an office romance between a boss and his assistant, a trope I adore, so Taking the Score is pretty much just pure fun and sexiness. If you love your books hot and filled with chemistry, with a dash of humor, you need to get your hands on this book! Brody and Emma rocked my socks off in Taking the Score. He had always enjoyed puzzles, working things out, moving pieces around until it made sense. Ms. Strickland did not make sense. He would learn her. Brody Kane has been having fantasies about his prim and proper assistant, despite the fact that she never wears form-fitting clothes or even offers a hint of desire back to him. So to say Brody is shocked to see Emma working at a strip club where he’s entertaining a client… well, it’s an understatement, to say the least. Never has he seen her so sexy and revealing, and all he wants to do is unveil every part of her, starting with her clothes. Emma Strickland has taken on her sister’s debt and is paying it off at a strip club, where it just so happens she gets found out by her boss. As embarrassing at is it, this is also the one time where she can show who she really is to Brody and act on the craving she’s had for him for months. But the last thing she expects is for their sexual relationship to continue, and for her heart to start falling for her gorgeous, rich boss. “You won’t way it, then I’ll say it for you.” He slammed into her. “Me inside you. This is the truth, your truth. Not what you were before.” He withdrew and stroked again. Long, thick, consuming. His mouth, set to torture, claimed hers and destroyed every last barrier. “It’s this honesty you show me when I’m inside you. Nothing else matters. Just this.” I loved Brody and Emma. These two are fantastic, unique characters, even if the boss/assistant trope is clichéd. They have some wicked sexy banter and Brody has the dirtiest mouth on him. Kate Meader knows how to write alpha-males, but what I loved most about Brody was his nerdiness. He’s a bonafide glasses-wearing, Star Wars-loving, Doctor Who geek, and I LOVED IT!! I just don’t read enough sexy nerdy heroes, so Brody is such a refreshing change. And Emma herself is a head-strong, intelligent, independent woman. She doesn’t let Brody and his slightly overbearing ways run all over her, and instead gives as good as she gets. The two of them make a wonderful couple that I enjoyed reading about so much. Taking the Score is the perfect read if you’re in the mood for something light-hearted yet crazy steamy. I had so much fun reading this quick, sexy book, and I’m definitely looking forward to more in the series. Thanks to the publisher for generously providing me an ARC to review.
