Cole:
I push her buttons. I want to push them in the good way. Dirty, up-against-the-wall, my-hand-in-her-pants kind of way.
But that’s not possible, because I’m dark and she’s light, and we both know it.
So I push her buttons in the bad way, making her hate me.
Hailey:
If a genie granted me three wishes, I’d ask for Cole Parker to never look at me again, that I’d forget the dark promise in his … forget the dark promise in his eyes, and that just once, before he vanished from my life completely, that he’d push me up against a wall and make me scream.
Then I’d go wash my mouth out with soap.

Warning: This is just the start. This doesn’t end well. And it’s going to get much worse before it ever gets better.more
I absolutely devoured this book. Cole and Hailey’s chemistry was off the charts hot, despite them not liking each other and wanting never to see each other again. The sex scenes were amazing and there were so many layers to the characters that I couldn’t stop reading. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Highly recommend.
Really liked this book. Will definitely b adding this author 2 my list of fav’s
HOT HOT HOT!! Steam coming off the pages, the title says it all! I accidentally read the 2nd book 1st not realizing it, didn’t matter they could be stand alone with their stories. Lots of sex, lots of heat, but a love story still the same. Hailey is the antithesis of a spoiled princess, even though she has the money and family to be just that. Cole is the dark, brooding, ex-military good guy/bad guy. When her very wealthy, yet troubled family has major scandals; murder, sex tapes with the VIce President it’s Cole’s agency they call to fix it. Sparks, heat, passion, all the feels! Outstanding book, great read!!
I loved this gritty book. The dialogue was so good and Cole is my favourite protagonist by far!
Action-packed, thrilling romance with ALL the feels!
Hailey is at the end of her rope with her family’s drama, the kind that keeps bringing the sexy fixer, Cole, into her orbit and sending her spinning in all directions. He’s as easy to hate as he is easy to look at, but she knows the depths of depravity he sinks to when he’s protecting his clients so she’s constantly on guard against their flirtation turning into anything else.
Cole knows that Hailey is the one purely perfect thing about taking a case involving her family, and try as he might to stay away from her for her own sake, he just can’t resist the electrical current that runs between them. I loved Cole so much, especially as he loses control of his heart and falls head over heels against his better judgment.
It must be said that this book has more than its share of dirty-talking, panty-stealing, sheet-clenching good times, but there are also plenty of nail-biting, edge-of-my-seat thrilling suspense and danger to keep this story moving non-stop. Originally three installments, this book is one of the longer ones I’ve read recently but it’s packed cover-to-cover with excitement and romance of the best kind. I loved every last bit of it.
If you’re looking for a dirty little something to read, this is it. I enjoyed this book so much. The chemistry between the characters can be felt off of the page. The hate and lust they feel for each other is just what the doctor ordered. 10/10 recommend
Omg, I am so hooked on this book could read it again and again. It has everything you want from hot steamy romance to twist and suspense. I don’t think I’ll ever find a better book then this one.
I ripped right through this book. I didn’t expect much but was pleasantly entertained and surprised by how good it was!
Not your typical female character which was nice change of pace…
Fun book to read
Great read! Page turner
Drags you into their story and keeps you involved to the end. I went on to look for the rest of the series!
loved this book. like that female character was not typical pin up stereotype. a bit dirty but good chemistry with characters. like the Washington fixer group of men. looking forward to reading more of this series.
This hot and steamy book is a must! You will get hooked in Hailey and Cole’s romance. This is a stand-alone or you can get more to the series. This book isn’t one that you predict what’s going to happen this is one of my favourites now and I can’t wait to read the other books.
Yay! I really enjoyed that! It was way too short and I want mooooorreee!!
An Intriguing good story. Bad boy wants the forbidden good girl which happens to be his client’s daughter.
We don’t know how bad Cole really is, he just tells her all the time that he’s a bad guy. It’s not like he’s a criminal, is he?!
Well, we’ll know for sure in the next book – hopefully. =)
What happened to Cole anyway – at the end?! I am so curious! I have to know!!!!
The ending of this book leaves everything in the open. Huge Cliffhanger.
Cole and Hailey’s story sucked me in from the beginning. They have a hate/hate relationship on the best of days with some pretty intense chemistry. Hailey is the good girl in her screwed up family and Cole is the fixer trying to keep their name out of the news. The push/pull between these two is intense. This one has suspense to keep you on your toes as we see the protective side of Cole. Can’t wait to dive into book 2.
A good mix of steam, controversy and storyline. I am excited to dive into the next book in the series.
A whole lot more than I expected or bargained for. Definitely dirty and so well worth it when your kindle is steaming! But it also has suspense, mystery, intrigue and a major puzzle that seems to stretch over the series about those who pull the greater string ma behind the scenes that dictate the grand scheme of things within the world. Loved Hailey and Cole. They balance each other as well as bring out the best in one another. And allow the other to open up and not be afraid to shine as well as admit things that they want or need that they didn’t know before this relationship. Loved the guys and can’t wait to see them again. Hope her mother and father get a good dose of karma. It is sorely needed.
Sweet and sexy.
Might have been me, but I couldn’t get into it. Maybe on another day?
