She drives him crazy… In more ways than one. Every time Leah Holt encounters Quantum Production’s chief counsel, Emmett Burke, the only thing she can think of is how much she wants to lick him. Everywhere. She’s never had that kind of reaction to a man, and the fact that he’s a much-older colleague makes her out-of-control attraction to him far more complicated than it should be. Every day, she … it should be. Every day, she brings a new legal question to Emmett, hoping to catch his attention and make him see her as a grown woman who wants him desperately. She walks a fine line in trying to remain professional as the assistant to superstar Marlowe Sloane while lusting after Marlowe’s sexy attorney.
To Emmett, Leah is a fly buzzing around his head who can’t be swatted away. She’s always there, looking at him, asking him legal questions that have nothing to do with his specialty in entertainment law and generally driving him mad with her overt sexiness and sassy mouth. He wants to toss her over his desk and run the sass right out of her, which is hardly the way a professional who loves his job should behave in the office—especially with a young, fresh, sexy colleague. As the author of the company’s policy on inter-office dating, he’s painfully aware of all the reasons he should stay far, far away from her and the tantalizing temptation she represents.
Then Leah gets her chance to step up for Emmett, to help him through an unfortunate “accident” and to show him she’s much more than just a smart mouth and a sexy body. When she realizes she has genuine feelings for him—and that those feelings are returned—she wonders if he will take a chance on her or continue to hold her at arm’s length. Slowly but surely, she chips away at his resistance, and he begins to crave more of her. But Emmett knows if he’s going to let her in, he has to let her all the way in. What will she think when he introduces her to his BDSM lifestyle? Will she still want him the way she does now or will she run away in horror? And what will he do if she runs away?
When Leah confronts a dangerous threat from her past, Emmett is forced to acknowledge that his “annoying little fly” has worked her way firmly into his heart—and his bed.

Marie Force writes another outstanding story with this family of character that we have all grown to love. Outrageous has become my favorite of the Quantum series. Emmett and Leah are perfect! Funny, sassy, sexy and oh so hot! I laughed, cried and swooned. Cannot wait for Marlowe’s story but will be so sad to see the series end.
4.25 stars–OUTRAGEOUS is the seventh instalment in Marie Force’s contemporary, adult QUANTUM erotic, BDSM, romance series. This is Quantum’s in-house attorney thirty-four year old, Emmett Burke, and twenty-four year old, PA Leah Holt’s story line. OUTRAGEOUS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
NOTE: OUTRAGEOUOS is an erotic story line with scenes of light bondage, spanking, D/s and anal play that may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from several first person perspectives including Leah and Emmett OUTRAGEOUS follows Leah Holt as she embarks on a slow seduction of Quantum’s in-house attorney Emmett Burke. For months Leah, PA to megastar Marlowe Sloane, has battled her attraction to Emmett Burke, but not one to stand in the shadows waiting for something to happen, Leah becomes the aggressor as she plays a dangerous game in her attempts to bewitch and beguile Quantum’s attorney. With Hayden and Addie’s wedding only days away, Leah sets a timeline to ‘implement Operation Nail Emmett Burke’. Unaware of Emmett’s passion for the kinky side of life, Leah will be drawn towards a submissive side that is not-so perfect for her dominating personality. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Emmett and Leah, and the potential fall-out as Leah’s past demands a second chance, a chance that endangers our heroine’s life.
Emmett Burke doesn’t do relationships, and has only loved one woman that destroyed his heart. As the chief legal counsel to Flynn, Hayden, Marlowe, Jasper and Kristian, the principal shareholders of Quantum, Emmett is well aware of a fraternization policy, a policy he himself wrote and enforces. Taking a chance with Leah in the hopes of shocking the woman out of her attempts to seduce our story line hero, Emmett grants Leah one-night of passion but one-night will never be enough for Emmett and Leah. When Leah’s past insists on a reconciliation, Emmett becomes her protector but is unable to stop the disaster about to unfold.
The relationship between Emmett and Leah is one of mutual attraction but their ten-year age difference, and his membership at Quantum’s elite BDSM sex club are big deterrents for our story line hero in his potential sexual endeavors with Leah Holt. Leah’s ongoing attempts to seduce and entice Emmett into something more will fail miserably when Leah battles between head and heart knowing Emmett wants nothing to do with forever or a happily ever after. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive with scenarios of light bondage, spanking, D/s and anal play.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar, secondary and supporting characters as the team from Quantum prepare for the upcoming nuptials between Hayden and Addie. Marlowe Sloane has a new man in her life but Sebastian waits in the shadows. Marlowe’s storyline is next in FAMOUS.
OUTRAGEOUS is a sexy, spicy, and steamy story line. The premise is intriguing and enticing; the characters are animated and charismatic; the romance is passionate and intense. OUTRAGEOUS is an intoxicating story with playful and provocative situations that will titillate and tease.
The most fun ever!
Sexy, funny, emotional. This book had it all!
Poor beguiled Emmett, the big sourpuss attorney. Irreverent Leah, the bright firefly. Their push me pull you dance was funny and enchanting. I loved them the most!
While I’ve read the entire series, and enjoyed every single one of the books, THIS is by far the best. Of course the romance is there but O M G HOLY FUNNY. First the antics in the pool, then the sneeze. I belly laughed so hard I could not breath. Then went back and read it two more times!
So can’t wait for the next in the series.
Emmett and Leah are so good together. I love their raw emotions and how they can be vulnerable as well as fierce and determined to make a relationship work even as it scares them. Another amazing romance in the Quantum Series!
One of the best of the series, and that’s saying a lot because I have loved the entire series
I love all of Marie Forces books. This series was no exception. Funny, sweet and very hot. You won’t soon forget this series.
They have no use for forever. Happy endings are not in the plan. What began as a fiery attraction is beginning to burn out of hand. Outrageous is a battle between seduction and emotion. Emmett and Leah are a force of nature that is hard to contain. Marie Force brings on the heat, with heart and humor coming along for the ride. Larger than life, hard to resist and ready to take the fall. Stylishly sexy with a hint of over the top. Getting caught up is easy when Force is at the wheel.
OMG!! Leah finally got her story, and that too with Emmett. While Leah is spontaneous and corky, Emmett is serious and practical. These two were complete opposite of each other. Emmett needed lot of strength and energy when it came to Leah, which happens to be everyday of his life. Marie couldn’t have written any other way their story. At the end of this book, I was in happy tears. Absolutely loved them and definitely worth 5 ***** and more.
Loved this book and the series!!
If you want to lose yourself in a good story, this whole series is perfect! I loved every moment of each book. I highly recommend!
Enjoyed the characters. Enjoy Marie’s way of writing and keeps the story moving along!
This book was a WOW!! Loved it!!,
This was an AWESOME book! I read it very quickly. Force does such a great job with this book. The humor was amazing and had me laughing out loud at times. You need to read this book.
If you want to read a book that’s full of lusty, sexy fun and will have you laughing out loud, Outrageous is the book for you. I have to admit to laughing out loud to the point of tears running down my face, at times.
Leah Holt is madcap, irreverent, funny, sassy, a little bit crazy, and a lot obsessed. The object of her obsession…..Emmett Burke, legal eagle for Quantum, is drop dead gorgeous, intelligent and serious. He’s on to all of Leah’s machinations to get his attention. He calls her his pitbull and describes her as being like a fly huzzing annoyingly around him. He’s wildly attracted to her but has given himself a whole host of reasons to stay away from her. When they finally get together their bedroom antics are more like a contact sport complete with bruising and black eyes. In Leah finally finds a woman who gives him the peace he’s been missing in his life after a terrible incident that happened in his college days. Emmet, for Leah, is the first person who’s ever cared enough about her, except Natalie, to take care of her.
Wish there had been more of a story line rather than just sex
The fifth installment in the Quantum series, this one involves Leah and Emmett. Leah is Natalie Godfrey’s best friend and was her roommate when they lived in New York. Now Leah is living in LA, as assistant to Marlowe, one of the partners in the Quantum company. Emmett is the lawyer of the Quantum group, and is also a close friend to all.
Leah and Emmett met at Natalie’s and Flynn’s wedding and felt an instant attraction. Leah was gobsmacked with Emmett and was determined to get the man. For days she kept at him, asking ridiculous questions about legal matters that she got from the Judge Judy show. She was obsessed and as he says, it felt like a pesky fly that kept flitting around him. Once they hook up, he calls her “his little pit bull” because she was so relentless pursuing him.
Emmett has a past history that prevents him from wanting to get involved in a serious relation. However, once he and Leah get going, he can’t help but be enchanted with her. She’s so open, all her thoughts and feelings reflected on her face, upfront with her thoughts, caring and passionate and above all, perfectly submissive.
This book started a little slow and the characters were too much in their minds. But then, something switched and it was Marie Force in all her glory. Wonderful dialogues and interactions and hysterically funny scenes. There’s a scene that features a butt plug and a sneeze that will be forever engraved in my memory.
This couple was one of the best in this series. They have fun in bed and out of bed, and they were so compatible. They brought each other peace and a sense of rightness. I loved seeing the progression as they move from lust to love. There was also an element of suspense that added a lot flavor to the plot and showed just how strong Leah is. I had a great time with Leah because she is so irreverent. I also loved seeing how she kept Emmett on his toes, he never knew what to expect from her.
There were many, many sex scenes of the kinky kind, but there were as many scenes of the Quantum family and friends. It was great reading, a little slow at first but wonderful later on. A great love story!
Really liked her Fatal series. This wasn’t as good.
Emment is a straight laced workaholic entertainment lawyer for the Quantum group. He is very smart, very sexy, and very protective of his friends whom he considers his family. He hasn’t had a easy life except that he was born into money. He has secrets that have kept him from getting close to women. He doesn’t do relationships, he is a Dom who doesn’t like commitment.
Leah is one of the admins. and she wants Emmet so bad that she formulates a plan to catch him hook, line and sinker. She is a smart ass with a heart of gold. She hasn’t had a great childhood either and has a few moments from her past she isn’t proud of. She is a loyal friend and she would do anything for them.
Let’s just say that watching her plan go awry in a way is hysterical. She tells it like it is and puts Emmett in his place a lot but she is also insecure. She sees through Emmett and can read him like a map. He finds her annoying but she worms her way in and makes him laugh a lot.
Leah and Emmett together are perfect for each other. They bicker and banter and Leah is so honest with how she feels that Emmett is never left second guessing her motives. The pages burn up in their sexier moments and the humor throughout made me laugh out loud.
This was such a fun sexy read that I didn’t want it to end. We also were treated to Addie and Hayden’s marriage and that was sweet and sexy and also full of laughs.
A bit of Marlow’s story was set up and I am wondering where that will go. Hmmm. I hate to see this series end. I loved this book, and the books that came before, it was a lot of fun. Leah is a hoot for sure and Emmett doesn’t know what hit him.
This book was so much fun to read. I loved Leah’s quirkiness. Of course Emmett was going to love her. This though was sooo funny. I mean bruises just happen around her, but we also get their story. How they went through hard times before settling into life especially bullies and abuse. But Leah brightens his world.
I also loved that Natalie got justice, and peace at closing her story.
Anyway, read this book! I swear you will laugh out loud!
