I’m a hot shot lawyer from NYC…she’s a goody two shoes from the sticks.My old college crush, Taryn, makes my blood boil and surge straight south. No one is going to touch her lush body unless that person is me.I have to save her, take care of her. Protect her. Since I’ve wanted her for years, I tell everyone she’s my girlfriend and claim what’s mine.It feels good. Right.Only one thing tugs at … mine.
It feels good. Right.
Only one thing tugs at my heart and mind. She doesn’t even recognize me when she damn well should.
I’ve been called a player. Then again, maybe that’s what she needs–a man whose taste will linger on her lips for months. A man who knows how to make her come so hard she screams his name. A man who makes her wetter than she’s ever been before.
If she thinks she’s going to walk away after I’ve had just one little taste of her slick heat, she can guess again. I get whatever I want. And I want her.
But when I go to an important business meeting to discuss bringing down my arch enemy, I’m floored. She’s already there, baiting me.Teasing me. Making my body rigid with lust. Denying me what I’ve craved since college.
A vicious criminal hell-bent on revenge, and secrets from her past throw up roadblocks at every turn. I’ve got a life in NYC and her life is here in Vegas. It can’t work. It won’t. But that doesn’t stop me from taking everything she’s willing to give.

The story of Caldwell brothers continue with second brother, a hotshot lawyer from NY meeting a dream girl from his college days. Their fight with nemesis puts strain on the romance, but in the end another bachelor falls happily in love. Some dose of steam, suspense and good banter… Entertaining story
Hot. I can’t even. I’ve read a bunch of Colleen Charles’ books but this one smoked my socks off. It’s pretty cold in my town at the moment, but not in my living room – the flames are practically lighting the neighbourhood up. Thoroughly enjoyed this steamy, witty, fast-paced, and sometimes gritty novel – the Caldwell brothers sure know how to make a gal swoon! Enjoyed the writing style (as always) and can’t wait for more.
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the steamy novel Tightwad: The Caldwell Brothers Book 2:Reagan and Taryn By Colleen Charles and this review was given freely.
A college fantasy becomes an adult reality in this latest battle between the Caldwell brothers and gangster Dante Giovanetti when Dante tries to extort fees from Nixon Caldwell’s tenant, Strict Necessaire’s owner Taryn and a visiting socially awkward Reagan lawyer/closet comedian gets involved both emotionally and legally. Drama packed with lots of plotting and sabotage, this steamy novel contains the return of the other Caldwell brothers to Las Vegas and ends in a cliffhanger.
I liked Reagan’s story a lot! But I felt like it went really fast in comparison to Nixon’s story. It didn’t seem to move the series forward as much as I expected, but the love story was great! I really enjoyed Reagan’s sense of humor and how well he fit with “by the rules” Taryn. I can’t wait to see how the series continues and get to know the other brothers.
Reagan and Taryn’s romance is filled with drama, intensity, secrets, steamy heat, heart, and humor. Reagan is of course awesome! I love a hero that makes you swoon, laugh and melts your heart all at the same time. Taryn is feisty, sassy and more than gives Reagan a run for his money. This second chance romance packed a solid emotional punch and plenty of heat. A wonderful read and a welcome addition to this series.
I really enjoy reading a book that keeps me entertained from the first page right though to the last. Like the first Caldwell Brothers book I couldn’t put it down till I finished it. Can’t wait to start the next book in this series!! Colleen you aced it again

This book is part of a series that now spans 6 books (the latest, Raincheck, has just been released). They follow the brothers Caldwell of Las Vegas, with one brother spotlighted in each book. This volume introduced us to Reagan, a hot shot NYC lawyer who comes home to Vegas to help his brother Nixon with problems caused by the evil owner of a rival casino. There’s a story and a romance, plus checking in on characters you liked in the previous volume. Great read!
I love these brothers
Reagan and Taryn, went to college together at UNLV, have not seen each other in years. Reagan, now a top NYC lawyer, is asked by his brother Nixon to come to Las Vegas to help him deal with his business nemesis Dante. Taryn, now owns a high end woman’s boutique in Nixon’s hotel/casino. Dante is not only trying to destroy Nixon’s hotel/casino, but he’s also trying to extort money from Taryn’s boutique. While working together to try and end Dante’s ruthless ways, they fall in love. Reagan and Taryn’s story is full of suspense, drama, lots of comedy, and romance!
I am thoroughly enjoying this series. I absolutely love how Colleen Charles writes her heroes! They’re so strong, tender and romantic. Reagan is no exception. He comes back to Las Vegas to help his older brother with more Dante trouble and runs into the girl he never forgot. Taryn is a very strong independent woman who also has her issues with douche-bag Dante. Charles does a fantastic job at writing the bad guy. With every book I hate Dante more. I’m waiting with bated breath for him to get his due. This is a series and although it doesn’t end with a cliffhanger regarding Reagan and Taryn, you definitely want to read it in order. Another romantic-suspense must-read from Colleen Charles.
