The rules:
No dating.
No sex outside of the game.
No disclosing the terms of the contract.
Rules were made to be broken, right?
Eight weeks ago I signed a contract.  One that seemed like a good idea at the time.  A handsome bachelor, luxury accommodations, and a chance to win a prize my family desperately needed.  There were some rules though.  Lots of them actually.  Follow the script, no dating, sex, or disclosing the terms of the deal.  After my self-imposed moratorium on men the last year, it wouldn’t be hard to live up to my end of the bargain…so I thought.  Until I realized the deal I’d made was with the devil…and I was in love with his dirty-talking brother.

SHELLY'S 4 STAR REVIEW:

Do you like the TV show The Bachelor?  Do you like alpha males?  Do you like the girl next door who actually is quite sassy, oh and kick you a$$ in poker?  If you do then you will love this book.  This story will captivate you from the beginning and leave you swooning, holding your breath at times, and laughing all the way to the end.

Kate signed up for Throb, a reality TV show similar to The Bachelor.  She needs money for her family.  She is portrayed as the girl next door but she is sweet, sassy, a card shark and fun loving.  Flynn is The Bachelor and he is actually a very nice guy who is genuinely interested in Kate.  Cooper is the alpha male who meets Kate for the first time when she takes all of his money in a card game.  He is instantly attracted to her and has to deal with his jealous feelings when he watches Kate and Flynn.  Ms.  Keeland did a great job or writing about the feelings of Flynn and Cooper for Kate.  She portrayed both of them as the good guys that they were.  The secondary characters in this book were also great. Kate's best friend will have you laughing so hard you will be crying.  

"Perfect, The first woman I can't stop thinking about in years, and she's about to have the most romantic date of her life...with someone else."

The story was refreshing to read as it centered around a reality show and it was fun to read about filming Throb.  There are times that will make you laugh so hard you have to stop reading.  Not only does this book center around romance but also deals with family ties.  It shows what lengths a person will go to for family.  If you like romance, swoon worthy sex scenes, laughing so hard you cry, and just the right amount of angst then pick up Throb you won't be disappointed.  



Excerpt

Every girl needs three things
1.  A flutter in her belly when she meets him for the first time.
Meet Cooper
My lips brush the top of her hand lightly, my tongue sneaking out to fleetingly touch her skin.  The brief contact stirs an ache inside me.  This woman tugs at something—more than arousal—something that makes me want to slow down time just to spend a few more minutes standing here.
“Did you just…” she stammers a bit.
“Did I just what?”
She squints at me.  “You know.”
“Do I?”
“I felt your tongue on my hand.  You…you licked me.”
I’d been dying to run my tongue along her neck all evening, although I hadn’t really meant to be so crude about it.  It just sort of …happened.  “I wouldn’t say licked, maybe just a little taste.”
“So you tasted me?”
My entire body suddenly has interest in this conversation.  “I suppose I did.  But it wasn’t nearly enough.  That brings us back to my invitation for dinner.  Tomorrow night?”
“I can’t.”
“The day after then?”
She laughs and shakes her head.  The sound makes me smile.
“Good night, Cooper.”  She pulls the driver’s side door shut and leaves me standing there…for a full five minutes after she’s gone.
2.  A best friend to talk about him to.
Meet Sadie
“And?”
“And I kissed him when we were in his office.”
“How was his office?”
“Really?  That’s what you want to know.  Not how was the kiss or aren’t you in breach of your contract?  How was his office?”
“You can tell a lot about a man by his office.”
I gulp another unladylike sip from my wine glass.  “His office was beautiful.  Sleek, overlooking the city.  It oozed power.”
“Nice.  Bet he fucks like he owns you.”
The thought of what he’s like in bed is enough to make me lose my train of thought.
“Go on,” Sadie prods.
I don’t continue immediately.
“You forgot what you were up to because you were thinking of him fucking you like he owns you, didn’t you?”  My best friend smirks knowingly.
“Shut up.”  I pause.  “Anyway, I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
“Well, him.  Obviously.”
“I wish it were that easy.”
3.  A gentleman that turns into a bossy dirty talker in the bedroom.
Cooper – behind closed doors.

“You haven’t even begun to see bossy yet.  Tonight I’m going to tell you to do things, and you’re going to do them.  When I tell you to open wider, or take my cock deeper, you’re going to listen.  You know why?  Because since the moment we met, all I’ve wanted to do is make you feel good.  Hell, I don’t even need to get off physically.  Because I’m going to get off watching you every minute.  So, yeah, I’m going to be bossy.  Now let’s put the rest of this behind us.  Do you want to be with me tonight?”
After that prelude, I nod my head fast.  I’m no fool.  Who wouldn’t?
