♥♥♥
He’s not looking for a girlfriend, which is perfect because I don’t want a boyfriend… right?
As if getting stood up by my date just before Christmas wasn’t worse enough, here enters my vile cheater of an ex-boyfriend and his girlfriend at the bar, and they both have a front-row seat to the most miserable night of my life. Until a mysterious man—and the hottest guy I’ve ever seen—sidles up next to me and claims to be my boyfriend. Yet, he doesn’t actually mean to save the day—he just wants to create some drama.
That’s it, I’m swearing off men for good.
But the handsome man, Lorenzo, appears again at my boss’s Christmas party as the company’s new hire. An unexpected allure draws us together, and though we strictly swear to a holiday fling and nothing more, I wouldn’t mind being on his naughty list for a little while longer…

REVIEW
A very steamy quick read. See disclaimer with blurb. This was an okay read for me; a short read filled mostly with sex, which is fine if that’s what you want to read. I used to love to read these but I’m reading differently these day. This is also young adult genre. This is a continuing story, so you are left with no ending. I’m sure those readers who like the “mature theme” / erotica will enjoy this
Amanda Bentley loves escaping into fictional worlds through reading and writing. A typical Pisces, she’s as much a mood writer as she is a mood reader. She likes her book boyfriends morally grey, but she’ll read any book with romance (preferably drenched in spice and angst).
When she’s not writing, you might find her chasing her wild toddler, or on stage, performing improv with her husband. She’s a creative, free spirit, and while she loves a fun adventure, there’s no place like her bed with a book.
