From NYT Bestselling author, Sawyer Bennett, comes a SEXY new stand alone romance…
When you’re a rock god, fame and fortune are your two best friends, but they can be fickle bitches. Everyone wants a piece of me and I have no clue how to deal with it all. I’m being sued, pressured to sign contracts, and fending off rabid women who want to steal my virtue.
Well, not that I really have any virtue, but still… my life has turned completely bat-shit crazy.
That’s why I need Emma Peterson. She got me out of a bit of a jam once, and I know she can do it again. The only problem is that sweet, prim and totally straight-laced Emma doesn’t want anything to do with me. Not professionally, and certainly not personally.
It’s not that I want her in that way. Let’s be realistic… it would take a crow bar of epic proportions to get her to spread those legs for me.
No, I only want her legal expertise and for her to make sense of my crazy world. It’s a good thing I have just the leverage to make her do my bidding, because her refusal is not an option.
*Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll is a hot, romantic comedy stand alone.
Two adjectives that describe Sawyer Bennett’s books: versatile and seductive. She does romantic suspense, romantic comedy, and erotica equally well. Sexy Lies and Rock & Roll is another feather in her talented cap.
This is an entertaining opposites attracts romance. Emma is a bookworm attorney who is prim, proper, and boring right down to her granny panties. Evan is a panty melting breakthrough indie rock star facing a variety of lawsuits. Everyone wants a piece of his billion dollar pie, and Emma is assigned to represent his legal interests while he’s on his first major tour. A month of sharing a tour bus together generates head butting, great banter, and opportunities for some very steamy sexy times. All the while, Evan battles with trust issues, and Emma struggles to lighten up.
The fact that Evan isn’t your typical egotistical, sex-starved rocker makes him endearing. Despite his newfound fame, he really is a humble and sweet guy. Emma is delightful. While she’s bright and tenacious, she’s also sheltered and insecure. Their pairing is perfect: sweet, humorous, and sensual.
I loved Emma’s formidable boss, Midge, and her supportive father. The story could have benefitted from further development of the other major supporting character—Evan’s manager, Tyler. I felt like there was much more going on with him than is revealed. Parts are predictable, and yet I very much enjoyed this low angst, sweet yet sizzling romantic comedy.
