Another fantastic read by a fantastic author!! I love everything this author writes no questions asked. I never have to wonder if I am going to be let down or not because she delivers every single time. We meet Tanner briefly in More than Sexy so we have a little backstory as to why Tanner is the way he is. Scarlett well she is a bada$$ ADA and works her butt off to never let a criminal go free. These two have an insta connection and it is blazing hot. I loved the first book but this one is even better. I can’t wait for the next one.
Review by Tabitha
5 Opening Up a World of Emotions Stars!!
Ahhhhh my heart is full of love and warmth thanks to Scarlett and Tanner! This is book two in Ms. Phillips Sexy series and it’s full of love, romance, suspense and all the emotions in between!
Scarlett is a woman that works way too much and Tanner is a man that doesn’t believe in love and throws all his energy into running Club Ten29 with his two partners….until he sees Scarlett one night at the club and it all changes on a dime… for both of them!
I loved every single page of this book! Tanner has this brusque manner about him and Scarlett wasn’t looking for anything other than letting go for one night, which just happens to be her birthday so she celebrates it right by taking what she wants from this man that makes her tingle inside and out…
“Being with him opened up a scary world of feeling and emotion she didn’t know how to handle.”
What can’t be denied however is the draw between them and when things start to happen at the club and with Scarlett, Tanner is going to protect her at all costs…and maybe finally get his HEA!
The suspense that Ms. Phillips built into this story just made it that much better because it kept me on my toes. Especially when the guys come up with a plan on how to deal with it! What I especially loved about this book though is how Scarlett helped Tanner realize he’s capable of love and that with the right person in your life and taking the risk is totally worth it….for both of them!!!
Talk about another fun and entertaining story from Ten29 gang. Tanner and Scarlet were fun to get to know. She has strong work ethic and doesn’t have time to let loose. But the second their eyes made contact they both knew their lives would never be the same. I loved the Insta connection and don’t even get me started on the chemistry.
Carly Phillips has started 2020 with a bang and I love it.

Twice As Sexy by Carly Phillips is book Two in the Sexy Series. This is the story of Scarlett Davis and Tanner Grayson. I have read the previous book but felt this could be a standalone book if you wish to do so. Scarlett is the Assistant District Attorney who has struggled with making something from a past that was hard. Tanner is part night club owner in the ClubTen29 and his two friends the other owners. Tanner has a bad past to but he has been on the other side of the law. When they happen to meet at his bar sparks fly along with a hot time between them. But in the daylight of life they end up finding that they have more of a connection then just their attractions.
This was a great opposites attract romance with some exciting drama.

I loved Tanner and Scarlett’s romance. Lots of tension, passion, emotion and drama fill the pages of this gripping read. Sizzling desire, the unknown and spontaneity lead to unexpected fallout as this couple’s story unfolds. I found it very easy to get pulled into this couple’s book. I thought both of these characters were incredibly likable and I found their chemistry electrifying. Tanner was totally swoon worthy and his history will break your heart. Scarlett was in my opinion, the perfect heroine. Feisty, strong and very much her own woman. I thought the complexity of this couple was brilliant. On the surface they were very much opposites but when you take a closer look you begin to see the similarities. Still, these two have plenty of stumbling blocks that must be overcome along the way as their relationship moves from one night stand to something much deeper and powerful. All-in-all a great read and an excellent addition to this series.
Woah. Once again Carly Phillips has delivered another emotional rollercoaster plot that had me complete spellbound from page one, all the way through till the last page of the book.
In Twice as Sexy, we have Tanner, tall, dark, devilishly hot, a bad boy with a complicated history and an even more complicated present. He is an aggressively angry guy and has multiple layers of that angry that stem from his past. The hell he and his sister had to endure growing up because of his father, broke my heart, and the fact that mother just let it happen… He struggles daily to keep the demons from his past from popping up and tries to maintain his control as much as possible. Some days harder than others.
Scarlett is an A.D.A and for the most part, lives her life uneventfully. She never lets loose and lets her hair down, and never goes out to meet new people or men for that matter. But that all changes when he pushes herself out of her comfort zone on her birthday and goes out to a club. She has finally permitted herself to have a good time…
The moment Tanner from across the room, he knew he needed her, needed to know her. Something is drawing him to her, but she has other ideas and is only looking for a one night stand, a night to remember for her birthday.
Will Tanner get more than one night with this beautiful woman? Or will she disregarded him the next morning? Will the fact that they are complete opposites be a deal-breaker? Read the book and you will find out!
As the story unfolds, the more I had to read. I couldn’t put it down. I love Ms. Phillips books and this book here is a prime example of why. It held heat, drama, angst, emotion and even a little comedy in there.
5 Stars
Tanner is a wonderfully sexy alpha male that doesn’t believe he can be in a relationship. After years battling anger issues, he has found his place with his best friends at Club Ten29. One evening, as he exits the elevator, he finds himself captivated by a stunning woman, Scarlett. This is new territory for him but finds he needs to know more about this woman. Scarlett is career driven and doesn’t have time for a relationship. She is used to taking care of herself but meeting Tanner, she opens up to the idea that there are times when it’s ok to let someone else help. As these two get closer, a threat from Tanner’s past surfaces and puts Scarlett in harms way which really brings out Tanner’s protective instincts. As he works to keep Scarlett safe, will these two realize that love is in the cards for them? Or will their fears and insecurities drive them apart? I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
The second book in the Sexy series takes on Tanner, the rough and closed-off Club TEN29 partner who works hard to keep people out and manage his anger. Sparks fly when he meets Scarlett Davis and when both Scarlett and the club are threatened by Tanner’s past, he has to work to save them both. The insta-lust between Tanner and Scarlett was electric, with explosive chemistry as only Carly Phillips can do. The elevator scene where they first meet was straight out of a movie and vibrated with electricity. They may be a case of opposites attracting, but everything clicked between them and I loved every second they were on the page together. Both have hang-ups from the past, walls to break down and issues to manage, and I loved that they were willing to work on things together, and accept each other as they are. “Sexy Hers” was short, but fast-paced and hot, a total page-turner from start to finish. A must-read for fans!
I received an ARC of this book from BookSprout in exchange for an honest review
Sexy Hers is book 2 in the Sexy series. Jason Dare, Tanner Grayson and Landon Bennett own Club Ten29. Sexy Dare Book 1 was Jason’s story. This book Sexy Hers is Tanner’s story and Sexy Mine will be the 3rd book.
This is Tanner’s and Scarlett Davis’ story. Tanner deals with everything inside Club Ten29. While Jason holds the CEO position and Landon arranges the entertainment for their club.
Scarlet is an Assistant District Attorney and has her own tragedy happen when her brother is killed and the person that did it gets off with a technicality.
Scarlet is a workaholic or at least her caseload makes her one. She needs to blow off some steam. It’s her birthday and to celebrate she begins to think that a one night stand might just do the trick. Scarlet meets Tanner at his club and things unfold from here!
Sexy Hers is a SEXY story and I highly enjoyed the telling of it! Now I can’t wait for Sexy Mine, Landon’s story! I love Sexy Hers and the Sexy Series!
I’m loving this series and Twice as Sexy is a great addition to what looks like a series I will want to read and re-read because I love the characters and the their stories.
Tanner Grayson is part owner of Club Ten29 a nightclub he started with his best friends.
Scarlett Davis is the Assistant District Attorney and she meets Tanner when she is at the club celebrating her birthday, the attraction is instant and mutual and what follows is one night of passion.
Tanner has had a hard life and his demons from his past haunt him but he has it all under control until Scarlett gets a case that has her coming face to face with Tanner’s history, will this mark the end for this couple or will she hear the bad boy out……
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 make this a captivating read. This book has all the feels, Sizzling chemistry and loyal friendships make this a must one click for all romance lovers .
If you like big city romance with a somewhat damaged hero and a strong, brilliant heroine who helps him find redemption, then this book should be right up your alley. Oh, and we can’t forget steam, because this writer always delivers that. But the complexity of the characters, their relationship and personal growth are the main focus here, so prepare your heart to be taken on an intensely emotional ride.
Tanner is partners in a nightclub venture with two friends from college, Landon Bennett and Jason Dare (yes, that Dare family). Club Ten29 is named to honor Landon’s twin who died in a hazing incident on that date. Tanner already has an anger issue that would have landed him behind bars without a little intervention, but when the man responsible for Levi’s death shows up, Landon and Jason have their hands full trying to keep Tanner from doing something they’ll all regret.
Scarlett has her own share of demons, and she went to law school so she could legally fight to put other demons behind bars, like she was unable to do for someone she loved and lost. Sure, there’s an instant attraction between her and Tanner, but finding out about Tanner’s past may be a bucket of cold water on the fire that’s been kindling between them.
With complicated characters that will steal your heart, and full of emotion with a side of suspense, this one will keep you riveted to the page from beginning to end. You’ll not only love Tanner and Scarlett’s story, but it will leave you wanting more from these fantastic characters.
A bad boy who has turned good…yummy!! Tanner Grayson is tall, dark, and delicious with a bad past, but thanks to his best friends he now keeps on the straight and narrow. Twice As Sexy is served up with just the right amount of steam, intrigue, and charm to make this a winner!
Scarlett Davis works hard as the Assistant District Attorney and hasn’t had a night off in forever, but on her birthday her best friend convinces her to take the night off. They head to Club Ten29 and when her eyes land on Tanner and it is instant attraction. Deciding to give herself a birthday present in the form of one, hot, delicious man, Scarlett makes a pass at him and their hot night gives her more than she imagined.
Tanner has a dark past, but as one of the owners of Club Ten29 he works hard at leaving the past behind. When one night with Scarlett isn’t enough and he knows he has to see her again, he never imagined his past would catch up to him as quickly as it did or that it could affect his future before it could really begin.
Scarlett and Tanner’s chemistry instantly ignite and burn off the pages. They both have sides to their past that are completely justifiable and understandable. It made the reading so good that it was hard to pick a side and wonder how they would ever make a relationship work!! Well done Carly, this was an excellent read!
5 star review Twice As Sexy (The Sexy Series #2) by Carly Phillips
The second book in the series and just as entertaining as the first book. I love Carly Phillips style of writing, there is something about her stories, that draw me in and keep me enthralled from the first to the last chapter.
This is Tanner Grayson, part owner in nightclub ClubTen29 and Assistant District Attorney Scarlett Davis story. I have to say that Tanner is totally swoon worthy and ticks the boxes for me.
Tanner has had a hard life and continues to fight the demons of his past. Spotting Scarlett drinking shots in his bar, Tanner is attracted to her immediately, after all a one night stand can’t be too complicated can it? Can two people who are total opposites really work?
When a case Scarlett is working on brings her face to face with Tanner’s past, will she run from the bad boy or will she embrace him totally?
The chemistry between Tanner and Scarlett is scorching and you could almost feel the flames burn you as you read. Twice As Sexy is a highly entertaining story and I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
I loved the camaraderie and friendship with the other club owners, his best friends, Jason and Landon which added an extra layer to the story that Ms. Phillips wove.
This is a passionate story with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Twice As Sexy is the second book in Carly Phillips Sexy Series. This is the story of Tanner and Scarlett.
Carly Phillips is becoming one of my all time favorite authors. I love her books and have never been disappointed. I normally am not a huge fan of 3rd person POV, because it always feels like the author is telling the story to the reader, but Carly’s writing, even though in the 3rd person, still makes me feel all the feelings the characters feel.
This book is a standalone novel. Even though this book is the second in the series and there are interconnected characters, it can still be read as a standalone. I would highly recommend reading this series in order though, because each book has kind of an interconnected storyline. Based on the Heroes past. I thought the flow and pace of the story was great. Although I will say I thought the storyline that dealt with Vic was kind of rushed and glazed over. Wanted a little bit more from that aspect of the story. Still it didn’t ruin my enjoyment of this book. As always Carly knows how to balance out the humor, romance, suspense and sexy times in her stories and this one was no different.
In this book we follow Scarlett and Tanner’s story. Tanner is one of the club TEN29 owners. He is the “bad boy” of the group. Scarlett is an ADA and spends all of her time dedicated to her job. That is until her friend talks her into going out for her birthday, where she sees Tanner and is instantly drawn to him. This is totally an opposites attract story. These two couldn’t be more different if they tried, but they both have seen tragedy in their past, which gives them something in common. Can Tanner get Scarlett to open up and trust him?? What happens when Scarlett finds out about Tanner’s past?? Can she look past that and see him for who he is now?? Will they get their HEA?? Read this book to find out.
I liked that we got to see more of Jason and Faith and even got some more cameos of the Dare family. I also liked getting to know Landon more. After reading the epilogue, I look forward to reading Landon’s story.
I would recommend this book/series to all romance readers out there. If you haven’t read a Carly Phillips book, you are really missing out. You need to experience her writing!!!
This is the second book in the Sexy series, in which we get Tanner and Scarlett’s story. Tanner and Scarlett are absolute opposites and that old saying “Opposites Attract”, yeah totally these two. Tanner is the tall, dark, handsome bad boy club owner who locks eyes with the smart, classy, sexy ADA Scarlett and knows he has to have her. These two paths should have never crossed but now that they have there’s no going back because they were meant to be. But what happens when Tanner’s past threatens to destroy the new relationship he’s building with Scarlett? What happens when Tanner realizes nothing will ever be as good as the feelings he has for Scarlett? You’ll definitely need to read this sexy, suspenseful, emotional read because this couple will capture your heart!
Tanner and his best friends own Club Ten29 but someone is vandalizing their patrons cars and trying to run them out. Scarlett is an assistant district attorney and her brother died years ago. She promised to prosecute bad people and not let them skate by. She goes to Club Ten29 for her birthday and meets Tanner. Now Tanner is know for his temper and as soon as he sees Scarlett, it’s instant attraction. They agree to one night, Scarlett doesn’t have time for a relationship until someone begins to threaten her. Tanner I’ll do anything to protect her but will she be able to get see that the mistakes Tanner made as a young man, isn’t him anymore? Great story with love, romance, smoking sex, and three men who are as close as brothers. You can read this alone but it’d be better to read the first one too. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Holy crap Carly writes good books!! Once I started this book, there was no putting it down until it was done. While Tanner may not be a Dare, he is definitely a strong alpha who falls deeply for a strong independent woman. This is an absolutely awesome series with romance and suspense.
***5 #TeamTanner Stars***
I need my own Tanner.
That’s really what I’m taking away from this book. I need a guy like Tanner in my life, even if he is only a BFF because…*swoon*
Ok. Let’s rewind a bit before I go on a huge verbal vomity dissertation of the man (which I am not going to do after this) I have to say, I devoured this book. In and of itself, it is a quick read, but it was one I got lost in from the very start and refused to put it down until there were no more words to read.
Now.Tanner. This man is all kinds of Book Boyfriend Goodness. I could go on and on and on, but you just need to experience all that makes him amazing. And then there is Scarlett. She was amazing too. She’s hard working, sassy and has a compassionate soul.
Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun. From the moment they collided, it was clear they could be way more than a one and done hook up. I loved their bantering and I loved how they actually adulted. There were bumps in their road, but nothing went into angsty OTT mode, which I was totally into, and I absolutely LOVED how everything turned out for them.
This book was simply fun. There is drama and issues that come up that could be triggers for some, but it was all handled really well and were necessary when it came to the character building of the MC’s. But I loved catching up with Faith and Jason, hanging out with all the family members that came out to play and cannot wait for Landon’s book!

Phillips has a way with emotions. Her heroes are complicated. Her heroines are fearless. The temptation is endless. Just as surely as she knows how to break a heart, she skillfully pieces the shards back together. Twice as Sexy is proof of her heartbreaker status. Tanner and Scarlett turn sexy into their own battle ground. By chance, fate has them falling in love as their worlds are coming apart. Nobody does complicated like Carly Phillips. Yet it’s the thrill of the drama that keeps my heart coming back for more.
