Cheryl's Book Nook

  Growing up with four overprotective brothers was chaos. Moving to Chicago for college? Freedom. Until I called my brother’s best friend in a crisis. The same guy I crushed on for years.

Biggest mistake of my life. I’m done hid...

Well, if you're Anna Garrett, you decide to swear off relationships all together and start using men for sex. That was the plan....no dates, just orgasms. Since moving to Rockplaines to be closer to his sister, Kyle has had his eyes on one woman. She was curvy and sweet and made him feel like a blathering idiot every time he attempted to talk to her.

  JACKASS, Book Three in the Bombshells Series It was only supposed to be a “friends with benefits" arrangement. Very little emphasis on the friend’s part. Alexa couldn’t stand Rhys 90% of the time. His smug arrogance, player reputation and need to flirt with any and all women drove her crazy. But the sex was so good it was hard to say no. Rhys wanted Alexa from the second he saw her. Maybe he only wanted her in his bed at first but the more he got to know her, the more he wanted of her. Her sassy mouth, bratty attitude and strangely enough, her warm heart. When Rhys thinks Alexa is breaking off their arrangement, he’s quick to end it himself. The truth of the situation was more shocking than the fact that he was falling for her. Now they both have to grow up and see if the thing they need most is each other or a bigger line drawn in the sand. The real question is, can he go from total Jackass to relationship material? My Review The wait is almost here. It seemed like forever sinc...
