I am truly raising a.son who share.traits with Tanner. That rage and anger is something that can be a true self destruction, finding a way to work through it is wonderful. I personally truly enjoyed the work and determination of Tanner. He was a ticking time bomb and did not blame no one and owned his rage. Honorable and one no woman could resist as well as one true friends will stand behind 100 percent.
Scarlett needed Tanner and no matter how she.fought it and her promises she couldn’t resist the man he was today. Jealousy, pride, or family couldn’t keep her heart under lock down from the damaged man in a mission. They connected on level higher than sex even though that was off the chains.
That is what I got of this book. A work in progress who was willing to do anything to protect everyone he loved. Woman, sister, friends, and himself.
Sexy Hers is the second book in the Sexy Series by Carly Phillips. Each book can be read as a standalone though characters from past books make an appearance.
Tanner and Scarlett couldn’t be more opposite if they tried but there is a connection between them that just can’t be ignored. Tanner has a past that may affect the way that Scarlett sees him in her life.
Sexy Hers is full of chemistry, sexiness, and passion between two people who you would never think of together. The twists and turns of this story along with the undeniable chemistry of Tanner and Scarlett make this a book you will not want to put down!
We’re back in the brotherhood of the men who make up the owners of the Ten29 Night Club in Carly Phillips Sexy Series. This book is about Tanner Grayson, who has so many demons in his life, starting with his father and being compounded by the hazing incident in college that took the life of one of his best friends. He has an anger issues, but the friendship with his “brothers” Jason and Landon help keep him in check.
Workaholic ADA Scarlett Davis is worn down by Leah, her co-worker and best friend, to go out on the night of her birthday. Begrudgingly, she is dragged to Club Ten29 (which she’s never heard of) and decides to make the most of it. Then Tanner steps off the elevator into the Club and she decides she wants one night with this gorgeous man as a birthday present to herself. It doesn’t take him much convincing and next thing we know, they’re upstairs in the apartment over the club having their way with each other.
It’s supposed to be one night, but the attraction is too hot to let it go at that. Add in a family crisis that Scarlett has to deal with, that Tanner won’t let her handle alone. To someone from Tanner’s past coming back to not just take revenge on Tanner, but Jason and Landon, and pulls Scarlett in to the mess. Is this enough to make both Tanner and Scarlett realize that they are meant to be? Or will Scarlett put her walls back up and walk away? The only way to find out is to read this great new story.
Truly enjoyed Scarlett and Tanner’s story, the 2nd in the series. Tanner’s past and Scarlett’s present seem to clash but opposites truly do attract! Great read.
Scarlet and Tanner couldn’t be more opposite. She’s a assistant district attorney and he’s a reformed bad boy. Well, that’s not an accurate description unless you ask him. Tanner is so….so…Perfect. He’s a man who defends whose he loves. He does so from the best place inside him, his heart. I fell for him myself in these pages and he goes at the top of my Carly Phillips hero list. Scarlet is doing the same through her work by working through the system to make sure the guilty stay guilty. She has history that would scare off a lesser man but Tanner stays and shows her she’s worth it. I loved their story and all the trials they had to endure to find their HEA.
Tanner Grayson is known as the bad boy club owner of TEN29 and most women want to capture him. Too bad he has no desire to ever settle down and do that commitment stuff.
It’s Scarlett Davis’s 30th birthday and her best friend, Leigh, convinces her to go out instead of instead of slaving away at her job as an Assistant District Attorney. While at club TEN29 Scarlett locks eyes with the hottest guy she has every seen and decides he is going to be her birthday present to herself. After a night of hot and heavy, Scarlett quietly sneaks out thinking she will never see Tanner again. Too bad fate has other plans.
When Tanner realizes that Scarlett has left he’s not happy. For once he feels that he had actually connected with someone that he may want more with. Just when Tanner thinks he will never see Scarlett again, fate has a way of bringing her back and this time Tanner is not giving up until they are together.
When it looks like Scarlett and Tanner just might get their happy ending, both of their pasts come crashing in causing problems. It will take a big leap of faith for these two to get their happy ending but when they both finally jump it ends up perfect!
I just adored Tanner and Scarlett. Tanner only sees himself as flawed because of things from his past but what he doesn’t realize is that he is so wrong. He’s loyal, sweet and sexy as sin. Scarlett at first seems like the perfect woman but soon you realize that she has demons that she is also running from. Together these two flawed souls are perfect for each other.
Have you ever had an elevator moment, when two people see each other and they know this is something special? Tanner walks put of the elevator and across the crowded club he sees Scarlet. She is smart, sassy, sexy and out for some well earned fun on her birthday, when she sees Tanner. They have one night of passion that will change their whole life and will take them on a journey to love. The story has drama, suspense and so much fun. Tanner and Scarlet have past issues that will make these characters real. Another fabulous story.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
loved Scarlett and Tanner and how they were so opposite the once bad boy and the dangerous workaholic both with very intense pasts. This had alot of emotions involved and huge life decisions to make with danger and very steamy moments that will heat you right up.
The support system Tanner has is amazing, I love the thought of brothers in friends and he gave that support to Scarlett that changes her thoughts and life. I really loved this one.
Tanner and Scarlett’s story was an entertaining read. The idea of two complete opposites getting together and these two are definately that made for an interesting concept. Scarlett is serious and focused on her career whilst Tanner is a reformed bad boy finally on the right path. The way they meet made for one hot as hell night together. Whist this was a fun read I liked how the female character was serious and dedicated and we see her agonising over her feelings for Tanner and a possie future versus everything she has worked for. Tanner was determined to win her over, I liked how he had to work for her trust and it wasn’t just handed to him on a plate. This was a quick enjoyable sexy read.
Great read
Another great edition to a wonderful series by the fabulous Carly Phillips. Tanner Grayson and Scarlett Davis is a great couple that you can’t help but root for. Who doesn’t regret things in their past and worry that something for your past may mess up your present/future. Can Scarlett and Tanner make their future work even with both their pasts. Can a one night stand be more. I love this series and most series by Carly Phillips because she keeps you updated on others from her series. I cannot wait for the story In this series.
You can’t help but love Tanner he thinks he is broken but Scarlett is just the woman to make him see his worthy of love and happiness.. They both have had their struggles but together they make eachother stronger… This story was emotional, fun, and sexy …
Scarlett’s life consists of work and sleep. She deserves a little fun, so what better day to have some than on her birthday. And who better to have some fun than with the gorgeous guy she spies at the club she’s at with her friend? It’ll be just one night of pleasure, then back to the grind.
Except, somehow Tanner’s gotten into her mind and won’t leave. So when he keeps persistently showing up and demanding her time, she gracefully gives in. But when his true colors, and his past, show up, will Scarlett run? At least emotionally? Because physically she can’t run when Tanner insists she stay with him for her own safety.
I loved Twice as Sexy even more than More Than Sexy. Tanner is such a wonderful character, and I loved how Scarlett made him feel that he really was worthy of love and all the good things life has to offer. And Scarlett was a great heroine, and equal partner for alpha with a heart Tanner. There’s a bit of suspense, the chemistry between Scarlett and Tanner is smokin’, and the story line started in More Than Sexy is propelled along at a fast pace. I’ve been loving this Sexy series and cannot wait for Landon’s story, Better Than Sexy.
This gorgeous cover is the perfect bait for a good romantic suspense read. The couple has a strong connection, hot chemistry, and complex issues.
I loved the pull and passion of them meeting and falling for each other at his nightclub. Soon, it’s a battle to fight for the chance to give into the powerful connection they have because their pasts define them in oppossing ways.
That was very interesting to watch unfold. Loss and ethics stand on one side while their feelings and attraction fuel them to work through them. There’s also a dark menace hanging over Tanner’s nightclub he co-owns with his two friends and it starts to bleed into his fragile yet undeniable bond with Scarlett.
One of my favourite scenes is when he supports her in one very difficult family crisis. The intimate scenes are very hot and the double POV works great to better know both characters. She is very independent due to her lonely upbringing and he is still learning to control his anger. It is quite engaging to witness their romance as much as the redemption.
The end is very satisfying and happy. I also enjoy how the three male friends work together to protect and improve their business. Next up is another story with a definitive dramatic lure. Looking forward to it.
This is the second book in the Sexy series. Tanner and Scarlett’s story is EVERYTHING I wanted it to be and so much more! I love how strong Scarlett is, she is what I love about romance stories! Tanner was just as amazing in his own broken way. I absolutely loved everything about this story! I cannot wait for more!
Tanner, the typical bad boy, a past he wishes he could forget but knows it’s always going to be a part of him. The never going to fall in love alpha male, until his eyes lock on Scarlett.
Scarlett, the good girl, a local District Attorney celebrating her birthday at the hottest club in town, planning an early night until her eyes lock on the beautiful male across the room, Tanner.
Tanner has a past, one he isn’t proud of and works daily to control the demons inside, part owner of the hottest club in town with his best friends, he has no plans to fall in love, get married or do the commitment thing because he has this dark side that he doesn’t want anyone but his ‘brothers’ to know about. Until he meets Scarlett, all things change and he’s finding himself wanting things he never has before. Scarlett, who’s out for that one night, no strings commitment as she is focused on her career and putting the bad guys behind bars, decides Tanner is the perfect solution for her one night stand. She also has some things in her past that are driving her in her career to put the bad guys behind bars where they belong until that line is blurred when she comes to care for Tanner in ways she never imagined. They share one night of passion and she disappears before morning and Tanner has no way to find her since he only knows her first name. Until he notices she left something behind, something that he believes is special to her and that she will come looking for. His hunch is right and Scarlett comes back but has no intention of pursuing anything with Tanner, she just wants her property back. He isn’t letting her get away a second time and he goes after Scarlett with everything he has. He’s felt something, a connection with her that he’s never felt before and doesn’t intend to let her get away.
Carly hits every emotion in this latest book in the series with Tanner and Scarlett. It’s an emotional journey from beginning to the end and Carly is the best at finding each note and making you feel the emotions and scars of both of these people. You’ll fall in love with this flawed hero and his lady and cry when it’s over!

This is the second book in the series. It can be read as standalone as each story depicts different couple. This is about Scarlett and Tanner. Scarlett has lost someone in her past which inspired her to become a District Attorney to ensure that those who committed the crimes did the time. Tanner owns a club with his two best friends and has his own painful past.
Scarlett’s friend convinces her to go to the club to celebrate Scarlett’s birthday and convinces her to let go and enjoy on her birthday. Tanner see’s her at the club and he is immediately drawn to her and they enjoy a steamy night together agreeing for nothing more than that.
Tanner being club owner and Scarlett being ADA, couldn’t be more opposite if they tried but there is a connection between them that just can’t be ignored. Tanner has lot of anger issues and several other things from past.
At one instance you can see Scarlett convincing Tanner with below words.
“I saw a man struggling to maintain control and not lose his temper or let his anger get the best of him. I also saw a man who accomplished all of those things”.
Two very different people who thought one night would be enough come to terms with their pasts that haunt them on a daily basis. A love story that’s emotional and passionate with a fair few twists and turns and their own challenges.
“We all have our challenges. The key is how we rise to face them”
Will he be able to get past the walls that the workaholic ADA has erected? Or will their fears and insecurities drive them apart? Will they be able to rise and face them?
The pace of the story is ok. Plot has its own up and down, at times I felt it could have been better, yet you end up turning pages. Secondary characters are good. You get to see Jason – Faith (book 1 in this series) and Landon. Overall in my opinion it’s a good one time – time pass read.
I voluntarily read an ARC of this book in exchange for honest review.
I really enjoyed this opposites attract story between a (mostly) former bad boy club owner, and a good girl assistant DA in NYC.
Tanner Grayson has had a pretty rough life. He grew up with an emotionally abusive father, a docile, subservient mother, and an awesome older sister, whom he still loves dearly. He had so much anger built up that he was unable to express toward his father as a child, and that carried over into young adulthood. In college, after one of his best friends was killed in a tragic hazing accident, his anger boiled out of control. He was on the verge of going to jail for assault when his other 2 best friends stepped in and helped him out of trouble. Now the 3 of them run a nightclub together in NYC, and they’ve been very successful. He’s had therapy, and he works hard to keep his anger under control. But someone has been trying to sabotage the club, and he and his partners aren’t sure how to proceed.
Scarlett Davis’ childhood wasn’t much better. Her mom has a severe depression disorder, and her father had to work all the time to pay for her care. Now, Scarlett is an assistant DA in NYC and her job is her life. After her teenage brother was murdered in a convenience store robbery, and his killers walked on a technicality, she vowed to do her best to put all criminals behind bars, where they belong. When she is dragged out to a club by her best friend to celebrate her 30th birthday, she sees one of the owners, and it’s lust at first sight. She decides to go for it, as a birthday gift for herself, and boy was it a good one. But, she never expected anything to go beyond one night.
Scarlett and Tanner’s connection was strong from the start, and neither of them expected how much they felt for each other, after never really feeling that way for anyone else. Their chemistry was so strong and potent that they continued to be drawn back together, time and again. I loved how they couldn’t help but want to be together, even though it wasn’t really easy or convenient. They had both built walls up so high around their emotions and it was difficult for them to let each other in, so it was really satisfying, as the reader, to see them slowly giving in, almost by accident.
I love the relationship between Tanner, Jason, and Landon. They really are brothers in every sense of the word, and they are always there for each other. They were friends before tragedy struck their group, but it forged a bond between them like no other, and I loved watching their interactions. I also loved how they accepted Scarlett into their circle of trust so easily. Tanner cared for her, so they cared for her. Simple as that. Everyone needs friends like that. There was a bit of a mystery side plot, which kept things moving along. A part of the guys’ past came back to cause trouble, and it was an exciting way to push our hero and heroine together.
I really adored this story, and the strong pull between our main characters. I’m excited by the plot of the next book too, and I look forward to Landon getting his HEA!
TWICE AS SEXY is the second instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult SEXY erotic, romance series, a cross-over with the author’s DARE series. This is night club owner and former MMA fighter Tanner Grayson, and Assistant District Attorney Scarlett Davis’ story line. TWICE AS SEXY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Tanner and Scarlett) TWICE AS SEXY follows the building relationship between nightclub owner Tanner Grayson, and Assistant District Attorney Scarlett Davis. Scarlett Davis was about to celebrate her thirtieth birthday with her best friend Leigh Michaels, a celebration where she would meet night club owner Tanner Grayson. A one-night stand between our leading couple would turn into something more but Tanner Grayson’s past was about to catch up pulling Scarlett Davis in the direct line of fire. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Tanner and Scarlett, and the potential fall-out as Scarlett struggles to move beyond Tanner’s past.
Scarlett Davis became a lawyer to fight for the victims of NYC . Having lost her younger brother in a robbery gone wrong, Scarlett vowed to ensure that the guilty parties get what they deserve. Tanner Grayson has always had an issue with anger having grown with a father who was quick to bite but Tanner’s past includes the death of his brother, a death he struggles to forget or move on.
The relationship between Tanner and Scarlett is one of immediate attraction but Scarlett believes she doesn’t have time for a relationship, and Tanner is convinced there is always time for love. When Tanner’s past targets Scarlett in a game of revenge, Tanner becomes Scarlett’s personal guardian, a guardianship that will end when the good guys win. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are reintroduced to Tanner’s business partners at the night club TEN29-Jason Dare, and his girlfriend Faith (Sexy Dare #1), as well as Landon Bennett; and Scarlett’s best friend and fellow attorney Leigh Michaels. Landon’s story line is next.
TWICE AS SEXY is the story of betrayal and revenge; of justice and retribution; of family, friendship, romance and love. The premise is lively and moving; the romance is spicy and flirty; the characters are sassy and strong. TWICE AS SEXY is an intoxicating and energetic addition to Carly’s SEXY series.
Tanner and Scarlett’s love story in Sexy Hers, book two in The Sexy series by Carly Phillips is another winner. Ms. Phillips once again gives us a protective alpha male hero falling in love at first sight as well as needing to protect his woman when she might be in danger, because of his past. Tanner Grayson keeps himself in check and his anger at bay thanks to the help of the men he views as brothers and the club they operate. Setting eyes on the sexy woman doing shots in his club and he knows he’s lost. Assistant District Attorney Scarlett Davis set her eyes on Tanner and decided he would be her birthday present. They both say it’s only one night, but one night isn’t enough, nor is two nor . . . These two opposites are falling deeper than they ever planned. Then Tanner’s past collides with the vandalism being done to the club and the early release from prison of the man who caused the death of their friend. Scarlett will need to decide if a Tanner has truly changed from after his past and if she can accept him for who he is; a man who loves her and wants a future together.
Ms. Phillips wrote a wonderful, emotional and sexy story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Tanner and Scarlett a chance for happiness, love and that future together. I highly recommend Sexy Hers to other readers.
