Lily Baxter
has always done things for the attention that it would bring to her,
but this
time it’s gone a little too far. When she posed naked for Seduced, a
men’s
magazine, she had no idea that it would cause the drama that it has.
Her
brothers are outraged, her father isn’t speaking to her, and all of the
men in
the town have now parked themselves in her yoga class for a peek down
her top.
To top matters, her neighbor, Mr. Fine Ass, or rather, Evan Acardi,
noticed her
photo spread. Could things get any worse?
Evan just
can’t leave Lily alone. He moved to Tranquility to get over his
traumatic
divorce, and to focus on his work. He really doesn’t need the
distraction that
his sexy neighbor provides. He has noticed her before, but doesn’t
really get a
good look until he gets a glimpse of her, in the buff, in Seduced.
Jumping at
his chance to get close to her, he takes himself over to her house for
a
personal introduction and hopefully, an autograph. What he finds when
he gets
there shocks him as much as finding out your next-door neighbor has
posed naked
for a national men’s magazine. Lily is a sexy natural beauty who can
cook like
a world-renowned chef, and who won’t take anything off of anyone.
Instantly,
Evan wants to get to know her better, intimately. His suggestion is
that they
burn off their sexual frustration, have a few sessions of the tawdry
tango and
go their separate ways.
Can a
relationship that started by DIRTY PICTURES end with innocent love?
DIRTY
PICTURES is an amusing tale of the independent woman who is stuck in a
small
town of archaic thinkers. Lily is a gutsy girl who takes advantage of
an
opportunity presented to her, not thinking of the repercussions that it
will
bring. I loved her spunk, her free spirit and the way that she rushes
headfirst
into situations. Evan, on the other hand, tends to overanalyze, thinks
way too
much about things, and is smitten by Lily’s charms. Their amusing
banter, fiery
chemistry, and heated sex make for a sizzling read.
