BOOK SUMMARY
A sexy category romance from
Entangled's Brazen imprint...
His
office temptation is now his full-blown fantasy…
Paying down her sister’s debts has
left Emma Strickland with little more than the thrift store suit on her back.
And as if the suckfest couldn’t get worse, she’s forced to moonlight as a
waitress to support herself and her cat. At a strip club. Her
uptight, sexy-as-hell boss Brody Kane can never find out.
Texas property tycoon Brody Kane hired
Emma for her spreadsheet skills, but her prim and proper demeanor sealed the
deal. There’s no room in his life for a sexy distraction … and yet, he can’t
stop lusting after the delicious Ms. Strickland. And then he takes an important
client to a Chicago strip club and gets the worst lap dance in adult
entertainment history. From Emma.
Now that he knows his office good girl
has a naughty streak, Brody makes it his mission to uncover her secrets, one
steamy, illicit, over-the-desk encounter at a time. But Emma is hiding more
than her side job, and her final secret could end up destroying them both.

EXCERPT
“Mr. Ka—uh, Brody?”
she asked tentatively. “Are you okay?”
The sound came again,
this time louder, and now that she was close, there was no doubt that it was
Brody. Only he was definitely not hurt.
A groan disturbed the
air. Full-throated, pleasure-tinged, threading an invisible line of need to the
sensitive flesh between her thighs. A throb started up there, a sweet ache—oh
God, there he went again. A deep, shuddering moan.
She turned away from
the door, moving her back to greet the wall. Needing its support to keep her upright.
He was jerking off in
the shower.
Oh. My. “Wow,” she
whispered.
Acknowledging the
fact tightened her nipples painfully. The pulse between her legs beat faster
and joined the rhythm of her pounding heart. Instinctively, she moved her hand
over her chest, seeking calm, but now that she had her hand on her breast, the
action had a sensuous effect. Stroking her aching nipple produced short-term
relief and a deep-seated need for more.
She dropped her hand
like her breast was forbidden country. She couldn’t do that. Not here with her
boss next door.
Her boss next door
under a steamy spray with his big, rough hand stroking that monster cock.
Leave this room now.
Forget what you heard.
Her feet seemed
incapable of following her brain’s instructions. This was ridiculous. She shook
her head, giving herself a mental shake, and stepped toward the door.
“Uh-uh-mmmm-a.”
She stilled. Surely
that was her imagination. Surely he had not just said her name. With that big
hand wrapped around that big—
“Oh, Christ, Emma.”
She slumped against
the wall, boneless, paralyzed at what she’d heard. Once might have been an
accident, twice was the stuff of fantasies. His, apparently.
Hers, definitely.
Maybe it was a
different Emma. Maybe he was fantasizing about his favorite Jane Austen novel. Right.
Sure there had been odd moments in the office when she glanced up and found him
staring at her from behind those sexy rims with an intense regard that made her
sex tighten in need. But then he would look away as if it meant nothing.
However, things had
changed. Lines had been hazed beyond recognition. She knew what he felt like
inside her, how his beautiful cock was crafted to fill her emptiness. He had
made her come hard, and last night, her dreams had been steamy and filled with
him. She awoke sweating, humping her hand, her entire body on fire with want.
Now he was using her in his fantasy. So flattering.
And arousing.
Unbearably arousing.
His next groan
sounded louder, the shower tile’s amplification conspiring to crank up her own
craving. What would he do if she walked in there, threw open the glass door,
and stepped inside? Fell to her knees and took him in her mouth?
She squeezed her
thighs together, desperate for relief. Aiming for completion without doing
something so deliberate as touching herself. Look ma, no hands!
It was useless. The
ache between her legs wouldn’t be soothed by damn Kegels. She should leave and
down a quart of ice water. Douse it over her flaming skin.
But she didn’t. She
couldn’t. Instead she pressed the heel of her hand against the part of her that
begged for a salve. Yes. Better. Just a few rubs outside the boxers she
had borrowed to ease the ache. Brody’s boxers, the thought of which merely
hiked her desire. A couple of seconds of naughty indulgence, but damn…they were
damp. And no touch had ever felt so good.
No touch but his.
CAT'S REVIEW
4.5 STARS
"Taking the Score" by Kate Meader. Wow! I enjoyed this book. It is a bit typical - sexy boy billionaire meets/rescues down on her luck girl. However, the chemistry between Emma and Brody is off the charts! And, Emma is anything but a lay down and take it kind of girl. She's strong and fiercely indpendent. Yet, she's also vulnerable and really, really needs a hug! Brody, having been burned, is hesitant to trust yet falls so far and deep for Emma - it's uber hot. He's broody and grumpy and a bit nerdy but all that together just makes for a temptation hard to resist. The story line is a good one - at times it felt predictable but Ms. Meader threw me for a loop a time or two so that kept it very interesting. I enjoyed the secondary characters - even Liv, who at times was a bit overbearing but deep down, I think she's just truly a sweet and caring girl. Ms. Meader has hooked me in and I look forward to catching up on this series and to reading future tales as well. (Yes, this is book 2 but I didn't read book 1 and had no problem whatsoever)
