ARC Review: The Attraction of Adeline(Off the Wall Proposal) by Lisa Wells

A firmly embedded memory that stays on the mind. Like learning the words to a favorite song or playing a tune out of time. Adie and Jack, bewitched my heart and proved be like a fine wine. The Attraction of Adeline is an emotional roller coaster ride. Adie has all the makings of a beautiful treasure, but her heart and spirit has been broken down by life. Lonely, heartbroken and never good enough, has taught her what it means to be tough. Until shelter from the storm arrives with a relationship of convenience. Jack shares a similar outlook with Adie. Betrayal has taught him to keep his heart on lock down and his head out of the clouds. With one look Adie has made him rethink that. Her shields seem impenetrable. Yet he wants to break them down. Her eyes are pools of heartache, in which he wants to drown. Her heart may be off limits, but his is down for the count. Alluring, heartbreaking and endearing, The Attraction of Adeline is a hauntingly sweet yet soulful journey of courageous hope.

Adeline is asked by her best friends brother, to play a fake engaged couple.  He needs to impress his boss.  His boss refuses to give him a partnership if he does not have a better half.

 

Jack is seriously attracted to Adeline.  He knows he shouldn't be.  She has agreed to play a part.  He knows how dangerous it is to want more from someone who cannot give it to him.

 

This book was so much fun!  It was funny, sad, sweet, & hot.  The characters seriously made me laugh.  This author always makes me laugh.  This book was a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

The Seduction of Kinley Foster by Lisa Wells

Release date: 5/9/16

 

About the book:

 

Librarian Kinley Foster wants to write erotic romance—the steamy, sexy, curl-your-toes kind of stuff. The problem? She desperately needs a little erotic inspiration. And at a romance convention in Vegas, she finds it...or rather him. The sizzlingly sexy guy who refused Kinley—and her virginity—when she was sixteen.

 

Now it's time for a little payback.

 

Literary agent Ian Thompson is a professional. Mentoring an aspiring author is one thing. Giving her a thorough and thoroughly satisfying sexy education is quite another. Especially when she's as stunning and deliciously curvaceous as Kinley. Yet Ian can't help himself when Kinley makes him a wager he can't resist. A wager that will tempt Ian to cross every professional—and every sensual—boundary in the book...

“Who are you calling?” Ian asked, giving her a lazy, seductive look.

The words he spoke barely registered. Probably because the way they sounded coming out of his mouth short-circuited her brain and super-charged her girly-parts.

His deep rumbly voice left her feeling naughty. Like scandal and sin were dancing on her soul.

Confused with her body’s betrayal, she glowered. “None of your business.”

“Calling your brother?”

She shrugged. Maybe she was calling her boyfriend. He didn’t now she didn’t have one. Unless her brother told him. “Maybe?”

Disappointment darkened his eyes. “I see you’re still a snitch.” He handed the suitcase to the driver, who stored it in the trunk, and opened the passenger door.

Her determination wavered. Damn him. Why should he be disappointed in her? “Whatever.” He was the bad guy. Not her. She dropped her phone in her purse.

“Thank you,” he said, in a voice that sounded sincere.

She rolled her eyes, not caring that the gesture was childish.

He motioned toward the open door to the backseat. “After you.”

Halfway in, she felt the sharp sting of his hand on her ass.

She inhaled sharply, scrambled the rest of the way in, and turned on him. “How dare you. You can’t just slap a woman’s a**. Especially one who despise you. What the hell—”

The sound of his laughter cut off her tirade, and she grimaced. Damn it. She’d reacted exactly the way he wanted. Just like when he used to pull her ponytail and she’d yelped.

Growing up, he’d been a master at riling her emotions. Not anymore. She was a grown woman, and her buttons were no longer so easily pushed.

He stuck his head in, an amused glint in his smug eyes. “You’ll find I dare a lot. And the swat was for insinuating I’m gay. And so what if I was?” He slid in beside her, scooting much closer than necessary. His shoulder touched her arm; his presence invaded her space.

Grown up Kinley rested the urge to thump him. Besides, if she did, the dramatic action would be more for show. And she prided herself on not being a drama queen.

Truth was, she was semi-turned on by the alpha-male ass-slap.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Seduction of Kinley Foster by Lisa Wells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kinley Foster has wanted Ian Thompson for a long time. Over a decade ago, she offered herself up on a platter. After being rejected, her hate for him was obvious.

Ian is still her brothers best friend. He comes to Vegas for business of his own. Willingly messing with Kinley's plans - if it means doing her brother a favor. She wants to kill them both.

This book is full of sexy times. It was a good 2nd chance story, that pulled on my heart strings. There was also a bunch of surprises in store for the reader. Really good, and hard to put down.

The What Happens in Vegas novels are enjoyable reads for me. The writers, location and heat have cast an unbreakable spell on me. However, Ms. Wells takes the gold medal with The Seduction of Kinley Foster. There was not one scene that was not immensely funny. With a name like Kinley you know the story is going to be unique. When you add in the middle age sex toy peddlers it goes from rare to hilarious. I received a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. A seductress in training from the man who broke her heart, to succeed in the most unlike of careers. Priceless!
