Every morning, Alexandra drinks in the sexy vision of Mr. Buff through his office window across the street. He takes his workouts seriously, and Alexandra never misses the opportunity to see him return, sweaty and pumped, to his office suite to shower. Turns out Andrew enjoys the view just as much as she does and can’t take his eyes off the woman who makes his blood roar. But when Alexandra bumps … bumps into Mr. Buff at a club, things go from visual to physical. And much to her delight, she learns that Mr. Buff is really Mr. Dominant. She loves spending time with him and getting to know him the way nature intended, but she’s looking for more than a fling. How’s she supposed to make Mr. Buff realize he’s Mr. Right?

** spoiler alert ** Not really sure what happened with this book. It was expanded from the original story and started off pretty good. It was little rough in places where old melded with new but was pretty solid, a 3 ½ – 4 stars and then it suddenly went into the twilight zone. Four people show up to kill Alexandra. Two of them get kind of hot and heavy with each other and leave together (later you find out they get married). The one I figured was attempting to murder her ends up mauled by an animal. The fourth one ends up murdered and Andrew is arrested for it. Never mind forensics should have ruled him out and the cops didn’t really look into the husband, who ends up being a sexual predator wanted by the FBI. Alexandra is kidnapped by him and Andrew has to rescue her.
The last portion of the story was just weird. It was like the author couldn’t make up her mind what she wanted to happen. It was like a Pick Your Own Aventure book with all the options put in at once. It what I am used to from this author.
Deceptively innocent before the circus moves in. I completely enjoyed this literary romp through love story! Alex is a strong female character, who is like many women in many ways. When she was mentally beat down by a dude, she took a stand for herself and got stronger. I laughed at the window romance, and you could feel the heat amping up when Alex and Andrew finally get their poop in a group! Then, when you think it’s all good, all of those strings that were laid out in the background of the first chapters start to get pulled in and the poop hits the fan, all these different antagonists come out to play and things have to get done. I will admit that I start to see Alex as a kind of modern day I love Lucy meets female Columbo meets Dexter, and if she had her own TV show, I’d definitely binge watch that puppy. Yes, the plot was a little bit different than Milly’s other books, but this book IS different from a PNR, a huge difference from the Paranormal Dating Agency, so comparing this writing to them is just wrong. I loved that the author was able to play so much with her characters and give them scenarios that were so far fetched and piled on that you have to choice but to sit back and enjoy the ride. I loved this book for the calamities that just happen to Alex, for the characters that will stay in my head long after I move on to another book on my TBR list. You want to have some fun reading a book that will keep your interest? Then this is the book that you need to read!
This is one of Milly’s contemporary romances & while my preference is her PNR work, I have to admit I liked this one. It could easily been a shifter tale, the hero is definitely Alpha material. Our heroine is a spitfire in her own right & together the sparks fly.

LOVED! Ok, I read the original and then this revised.. expanded.. re-release version and it is so much more than the original. More? More what? More everything…from story to heat to who done it. I enjoyed it so much more. There were several events that just kept me on the edge of my seat going what the heck. Alexandra and Andrew eye each other from afar for a while. She knows who she is but she does not know him. Only that she sees him shirtless every morning and drools over him. After her ex did a number on her, Andrew needs to work it to prove he is not like that lying, cheating, a$$.
Loved the HEA and the journey to get there.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
This book starts off great (after the breakup scene that it) – hot, hunky man that the newly single Alex is lusting after from afar suddenly becomes accessible after a night in the club. Loved the steamy scenes with a definite side of dominance! Then it the mystery part of the story sort of took over and veered into a place I was definitely NOT expecting. The hot and steamy romance took a sharp turn into a kooky comedy of errors with a murder plot. I would have rather had the hot romance than the odd murder plot it developed into. Just didn’t sit well with me and left me rolling my eyes. However you might get a kick out of it so give it a try for yourself if you think this sounds like it would be ‘up your alley’!!
I read the original so was really excited to see where she went with this new expanded edition. She did a great job with it, that’s for sure. Alexandra has been watching the view out of her window and into the window in the building across from her. Boy, was that a sight to see. He was so sexy but he was safe because she would never get to meet him. Until the night that she did meet him. This book is full of hot sex and also has some nice adventure to go along with it. This was a really good book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a little adventure in their life.
Steamy non stop action from page one. Totally inappropriate in the best ways. Andrew was a total packaged alpha that equaled Alex’s needs in everyway. I also wish I had a Nina in my life and I hope she gets her HEA.
Alex AKA Alexandra has finally turfed out the odious ex but not before he did a hatchet job on her self esteem. Her high point daily is watching the hottie in the adjacent building doing his fitness routine. But when a night with friends leads her directly to Mr Buff Aka Andrew Carter, her lovelife perks up.
Andrew is over superficial relationships. He wants something permanent and meaningful. His desire seems to come to life when the cutie he has been eyeing ends up in his club. After a tres hot introduction they soon find themselves hotly and heavily entwined. But can Alex get her self esteem in check before she lets Andrew get away?
But when an accounting error she highlighted to her boss, that was syphoning millions from the company, seems to put her in the cross hairs of someone out to get her, Andrew will do what he can to keep her safe. But Andrew himself seems to have a problems keeping safe!
Loved the guessing game of who the “baddie was – I lost to myself lol! The exes of Alex and Andrew were totally heaven to loathe, I loved a unredeemable character you can love to hate! The sex was of course out of this world hot, Andrew is a bit of a Dom and he gets Alex revved up!
Alex has spied Andrew “Mr. Buff” Carter from her office window as he returns from his daily workout. Little does she know that he’s been watching her, too. So starts their action packed, steamy adventure that seems to have everyone wanting to kill them and keep one or the other of them for themselves. In the end, will our lusty, loving couple find the happiness they deserve, or will they both wind up DOA? Read Mr. Buff: A Flaming Romance and find out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

Oh My Goodness. How to review this book. 50% sex & 50% very good crazy story.
Not enough adjectives to describe this sex fuelled humorous farce.
Loved the actual story. It runs the gamut from the serious – murder, attempted murder, fraud, kidnapping, serial sex killers to the absolute most slapstick series of events featuring deranged, cannot accept NO, ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends. Moose accidents, pipe bombs and more.
What happens in the state park was so crazy funny.
In amongst all of the fast paced happenings is two main characters who cannot keep their hands of each other, a great best friend who deserves her own book and a wonderfully entertaining story.
I will be buying this book for the pure fun of reading it again.
This is my honest review of this book.
You’d think breaking up would be the worst thing and be enough to go through, right? Alexandra knew he was a jerk, it still hurt. Now she was going to do her job and enjoy the perk of the hottie view in the window of the building across the way. Shirtless view every morning when he walked around his office after he’d showered. Nice. She’d go back to work on payroll and the rest of her job she likes and wasn’t too stressful. That is until she found a huge discrepancy someone had made. Millions of dollars. It wasn’t an accident and she had to report it to the big boss.
With all this going on her cousin and bestie takes her to a hot club where she meets Mr. Shirtless, Andrew, in person. Seems the attraction goes both ways and a couple of dances turn in to much more. So–bad. Good. Bad. What next on this roller coaster of a life? Could it be a crazy jealous woman? Someone from work who doesn’t appreciate her conscientiousness and wants to eliminate her?
There is a lot going on before these two strong people can find their HEA. Will they? Make sure to turn up the AC this is a scorcher.
