Product Warning
Contains a man who's willing to do anything for the perfect woman, an RV and surprise road-trip to help him prove it, and a woman who's wondering just what the hell she's gotten into.
Blurb~
A girl, a guy, a set of handcuffs… What more could happily ever after possibly need?
Luke Hamilton’s requirements for the perfect woman are straightforward: live, work and play in his beloved hometown—and get along with his mother. Dr. Kat Dayton’s got it all. And Luke’s noticed. It’s obvious to him that his long-time friend belongs with him, especially after the world-rocking kiss she lays on him at his birthday party.
While Kat can’t deny she’s imagined a kiss like that—and more—for years, she’s less convinced they’re destined for happily ever after. Still, Luke figures that’s nothing a friendly kidnapping and a three-day road trip won’t fix.
Kat would love to let Luke in, but if he discovers the truth—that committee meetings bore her to tears and she’d rather have a root-canal than go to another potluck—his white-picket-fence dreams will be crushed.
Being stuck in an RV with Luke should be three days of flirtatious fun, but for Kat it’s heavenly hell. The close confines and good old-fashioned lust are making a mockery of her perfect-woman façade, and if he finds out about the mistake that might cost her job— and force her to leave town for good— it’ll take more than a sexy pair of handcuffs to keep him close.
Review~
Sigh... I don't even know where I want to start with this review - RV trip? Handcuffs? Friends turned lovers? Small town hero? hmmm... let's start with the Handcuffs :) cause that's the type of girl I am and so is Kat.
Kat's convinced there was only one way to get Luke to his "surprise" birthday party and that was to handcuff him. But once the cuffs go on too many other things go through her mind and body, only this time she doesn't hold back, the gloves are coming off and neither know what they are in store for..
"Damn right he would. The thought snuck up on her, but right on its heels was If I had Luke Hamilton at my mercy for even ten minutes he’d think it was the best frickin’ day of his life."
Once Kat opens this door to friends turned lovers there is no way Luke is going to let it close, not without pulling out all the stops ‘cause he knows that she is perfect for him. Luke is a man who makes lists, joins committees, and has a clear design on how his life will play out - and Kat is in those plans.
I loved Luke even in book one Anything You Want, he always wants to be the fixer and I can identify with that. He's the best friend, great guy, the one everyone says ‘be like him’ but he has been confused for years on who he should truly be with until "the handcuffs" then he knows for sure it's Kat.
Kat is the home town girl that came back to practice medicine for her town, friends, and committee but she's not the typical sweet little girl next door. No, Kat is definitely not - she wears all black, color streaks in her hair, piercings, and you can't forget her "kick-ass boots". Kat is a little different but that's her armor and Luke is just the man to help her out of that armor and lay her out bare so she can find her true self.
"Some days a girl just needed kick-ass boots."
This is just another amazing book by Erin Nicholas! From the first page she had me and I wasn't letting go. If you follow my blog you'll see I don't read a lot of contemporary but there is something in the way that Ms. Nicholas writes that has me hooked. Her characters are likeable and well developed, her story lines are easy to follow and remind you that everyday life can be romantic.
Got a question for you all...
Have you ever been as adventurous as Kat and Luke ?

I wish I was as adventurous as those two! Wow it sounds like another great story. I have read many books by Erin and have enjoyed them all. Everything You've Got sounds like hot contemporary story. Congrats on the new release, Erin!

Hi Erin & Dawn, Happy Mother's Day! I'm just stopping in to say hi! I have Everything You've Got, unfortunately I haven't read it yet. I'm waiting for the end of the school year when I finish home schooling my son, then I'm diving into both books in the series. It's such a shame I can't be as daring as some of the stories I read, I would love to steal the hubby for a few days. Have a great tour.

Have I ever been as adventurous as Kat and Luke? I am assuming you mean adventurous in the sensual/sex sense as opposed to rock climbing adventurous. If your talking THAT KIND (Rock Climbing) then the following comment will embarrass the heck out of me.
ReplyDeleteYes I have been as adventurous as Kat and Luke, if not more. I have a interesting background. I am a former Radio Announcer of 7 yrs and Cabaret DJ/GM(yeah, strip club)of 12 years. So I have seen/done about everything you can imagine. Threesomes, 4-somes, orgies, group masturbation, and had a threesome with my girl and A VERY POPULAR PORN STAR MIDGET. Did I mention sisters too? Anyway so I guess you want a most adventurous moment? OK, you asked.....
I call it Triple-X Mas Eve 2005. It was one of those moments in time that the stars aligned perfectly, the alcohol was flowing, and two cabarets BOTH had the night off. My Club and my best friends club (he was head DJ). We all decided to go to a gay bar for drinks on Christmas Eve. Apparently some little green pill with a dolphin on it was making its rounds that night and we all partook. (Stop reading here if you have NO IDEA what pills with Dolphins, Superman Logos, Trees, or any other generic object imprinted on them are) Tword the end of the evening when we decided to adjourn to more private surroundings it was 6 female dancers, one non-dancer female, and 2 male bouncers, 2 DJ's and one single guy. They wanted ideas on where to go. It was my idea that was chosen by the group.
Let me give you a short aside here, over the years I have developed the BEST NAUGHTY NIGHT IMAGINABLE if your A. Naughty B. Rolling (there's that pill thing) and C. Don't mind a little baby oil in your hair. (or alot as it turns out) After much trail and error, here is the secret formula for a guaranteed BEST NAUGHTY NIGHT IMAGINABLE:
1 can of disinfectant
Roll of Paper Towels
1 Bottle of Palmolive Dishsoap
1 Hotel Suite w/Plastic mattress cover on Queen or King size Bed (in the case of a orgy, I recommend 2 fullsize beds)
2-3 Bottle of Baby Oil
1 Pair of cowboy boots
After you have selected the proper hotel room(s) of your choice, take sheets off the bed Use the disinfectant to clean plastic mattress cover, Wipe with paper towels. GET NAKKID!!!! Spray 1/2 to 1 bottle of baby oil on bed, 1/2 bottle on you and ur lover. (Larger group 1 full bottle on the group) and literally jump into bed, and get freaky! Don't forget the boots for traction, and the Palmolive dishsoap to get oil out of hair (very important)
Ok, back to story. So we headed to the Hotel. We booked a 2 room suite with 2 fullsized beds in the bedroom. Grabbed more alcohol and off we went. As most of us were chillin in living room I heard the shower going and some moans. Being nosy, I went to the bathroom door and opened it half way. In the shower (somehow with the shower rod and curtain on the floor???) was one of MY dancers and the Non-Dancer female exploring each others wet and nakkid bodies. I got worked up a bit and pulled myself out of my underwear and started stroking. Soon, one of the dancers from the other club came over to see and she got excited. She ended up taking me in her mouth. At this point I yell into the living room area "Hey &@$*(name withheld because of privacy pact) grab the baby oil, your boots, and get NAKKID!" From there it was game on. I have never seen sooooo many bodies writhing around with baby oil gleaming skin in my life. It was beautiful. Imagine 12 beautiful bodies glistening w/baby oil. (notice I said 12? One of the girls had to leave because her husband was PISSED) Everyone had sex with everyone. It was unimaginable to look over and see your best friend going down on ANOTHER GUY (this is why names were withheld and the privacy pact made) or 3 women and me(hehe) in a oral sex circle.
SOooooo that was Triple X-Mas Eve 2005. Does this qualify as adventurous? If I was supposed to tell you about hang gliding, I am in TROUBLE!!!

Hey, thanks for stopping by everyone!! Wow... I think we've found THE answer to the question LOL! I would just mention-- for the *rest* of us -- that the great thing about fiction is we can be adventurous vicariously!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing you all here!
Erin
No kidding this is all true and way more. Did I mentiom the time about the straight Iowa boy that got stuck running a male-4-male (yes, gay men) cabaret? Lol
DeleteBcary92
Erin, you know any Ghost writers or should I attempt it myself. Everybody says I should write a book about my life. You know like getting out of the cabaret at 2am staying up and beimg naughty then without taking my eyeliner off headed to church to run the soumd board for the band and mic's. Wjen I talked the girls into attending it got interesting. All of the sudden the area where me and 4 of the girls sat got very crowded.
DeleteBcary92
I'm totally taking notes, bcary92!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Erin, I think he trumped your post
Alanna.....dont forget the dishsoap. I am serious, itcwont come out of hair. Also if you go to a motel room without or do this at home, without the plastic matress cover. Grab two boxes of saranwrap and have ur boy wrap the bed in it
DeleteWhen done bring trash can to bed so you dont get oil everywhere when u take the saran wrap off. Just a few hints.
Bcary
I am speechless. LMFAO!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSadly, no... And wow... that's quite a story bcary92 shared!
