She Did a Bad, Bad Thing by Stephanie Bond


Sexy, light romance
4 stars

Plain Jane Kurtz has always been the mild-mannered ‘good girl’ and she’s tired of it. When she overhears her sexy bad-boy neighbour, Perry Brewer, make a remark about her, she is distraught. So when she wins the lottery, she decides that it’s time she made some changes in her life so she flies off to Vegas for a bad girl makeover.

The woman is driving Perry crazy. He feels so responsible for her need to change that he follows her out to Vegas to make sure she doesn’t get up to anything too dangerous. But when he sees what naughty things Jane has planned – what’s a decent guy to do but offer to be her plaything for the weekend?!


This was a fun, sexy and enjoyable romance that was well written and easy to read. Jane was a relatable character and I’m sure that everybody would want a sexy bad boy like Perry. The pair had delicious chemistry that at times scorched the pages. The plot was believable and interesting even if I did think the story was wrapped up quite suddenly.

The story itself is the first in the ‘Million Dollar Secrets’ mini series and there is an underlying plot that runs through all the books. Despite that, if you don’t want to read the other books in the series, Perry and Jane’s romance is nicely wrapped up in this one so you won’t have to.

Overall if you’re looking for a sexy, fun and light read then this could be perfect for you. 4 stars.

What She Really Wants for Christmas by Debbi Rawlins


Sexy and enjoyable Blaze romance
4 stars

Liza Skinner’s life is a complete disaster. Thanks to a horrifically bad ex-boyfriend, she’s lost her friends, her job, her life and her share of millions of a huge lottery win. To top it all off – she’s being blackmailed.

Getting involved with someone is really not what she needs right now – even if the man she has in mind is hunky doctor, Evan Gann.

Soon she is able to forgot all about her problems as she learns Dr Evan is a whole lot naughtier than she expected him to be. But how will he react when he finds out all she’s been hiding?


This is the concluding book in the Million Dollar Secrets Blaze mini-series, which has seen various cast and crew of a talk show winning a huge lot of money on the lottery. Despite this, ‘What She Really Wants for Christmas’ still makes perfect sense if you haven’t read any other books in the series.

The book itself is a good, engrossing and enjoyable read with characters that you will learn to love. Evan is delicious as a not-so-stuffy doctor while Liza manages to win you over as you find out about her as the book continues. The pair have some sizzling sexual chemistry which makes for steamy reading in some places.

All in all this is a fun and sexy read from Blaze. Despite its title, it’s not a Christmas book or even really Christmas themed – but it’s still an enjoyable read to help you through the long, cold nights. 4 stars.
