I love reading this author’s stories. They are always a quick but great read with detailed story lines and amazing characters. Usually, we get two short stories, one for each main character’s POV. This story is a little longer, which is great and contains both POV’s. Meet Ann and Sean. Ann is hanging up her man interest card, specifically her need for a man with the ‘bad boy’ persona. She has been burned for the last time and now needs an accountant to prepare for an audit. Sean is an accountant with a twist. He gives the professional, clean cut appearance but underneath those clothes are buff muscles and tattoos. Not to mention his mode of transportation being a Harley motorcycle. His ‘bad boy’days are in his rear view mirror. Or are they? Can Sean help Ann out with the audit but also help her find the perfect ‘bad boy’for her? As always a great story, full of all the needed details to make it an awesome read. Enjoy!

I love the duel POV that Alexis Chase added to the story. It added so much and made it even hotter than before.
Ann finds herself facing an IRS audit and turns for help from Sean, an Accountant. Sean has a past and is not your normal numbers guy. Ann try to avoid her typical bad boy guys thinks Sean is the nice guy.
Known more of Sean side helped to fill in the story and made Sean even hotter than before. Thank you for the addition!!!!

I absolutely loved reading this story, Alexia Chase really knows how to bring the characters to life. There is action, steamy love scenes and that sweet moment when they know that love is what they have. Well written Alexia.
Ann is being audited by the IRS and her books are a mess. She is referred to an accountant who is supposed to be the best. She has sworn off relationships with bad boys. Doesn’t want anything to do with them at all.
Sean is an accountant who has offered to do Ann’s books so they are ready for the IRS. He is HOT! In Ann’s books. But he isn’t like her usual boyfriend. She is instantly attracted to him. The next night she visits him at his office and wants to roll with him on his desk. But he asks her on a date. That date turns into more. But Sean has a secret past. Is the romance over before it has begun?
A great story that will make you love a girl who swears like a sailor and a guy who makes you hot.

Extremely funny read, loved the description of Ann gorgeous with a sailors mouth, very guys wet dream. Sean is Ann’s own personal dream of being a reformed bad boy, but what she doesn’t know could either make or break this new found relationship they have together. Great ending for this hot as heck couple.

Simple romance but quite hot
3.5
I liked this simple with few events romance. It’s well written, very hot, with good characters who have temperament, which creates good dialogues.
Ann has an audit and receives help from a friend of a friend, Sean, who is an accountant. Immediately she is attracted by this man who seems to be a good man, with a good life, organized. However, she has always been attracted by the bad boy and although she has promised not to go out with one, she does not understand why this man attracts her because he’s the opposite of her type of man.
For Sean also the attraction is immediate, but he hides who he is and his appearance because of his past and his family legacy (a gang of criminal bikers), which would stain the hope that he has to date Ann.
Their relationship is therefore necessarily complicated because of this omission.

I loved reading Sean and Ann’s story in one book. Loved getting the dual perspective and switching between them both. It’s sweet, dirty, and oh so sexy!
