Bad Boys After Dark: Mick by Melissa Foster

5.0

If you enjoyed any or all the author's Wild Boys Series; Logan, Heath, Jackson & Cooper, you'll love this Bad Boy: Mick.

Entertainment attorney Mick Bad doesn't do relationships. A masquerade bar crawl is a perfect way to find his latest hook-up, only the evening acts as a catalyst for an unexpected life changing direction with a woman he's secretly lusted after for three years.

Paralegal Amanda Jenner's exhausted from attracting the wrong men...dull, not only in personality but in bed too! After doing research on how to find her inner sexy and seduce a man, she decides a masquerade bar crawl is a perfect way to try out and hone her new found skills. She targets a drop dead gorgeous male, only the outcome of their meeting has far-reaching consequences she never dreamed possible.

Mick is 100% alpha. He oozes charm and is a very smooth communicator. He's confident, but not arrogant so he's the perfect guy for Amanda to practice on. Mick's attention to detail and observation skills are second to none, despite Amanda's bravado, he sees she's naive, shy and inexperienced, so exudes patience and kindness to build the trust between himself and this woman he's wanted for so long. The result? Amanda's newfound confidence creates boldness as she turns the tables and becomes the temptress making Mick realise that there isn't any valid reason for them not to be together.

The timeline for the novel is very short yet Amanda and Mick's relationship is palpable. After working closely together for three years, they are as close as two people can be without sexual closeness. Once that last essential link's made, there's no doubting that they are meant to be together.

Ms. Foster's storytelling, as I've come to expect is first class, with multifaceted protagonists and secondary characters that make you want to read about them too...hello Dylan! If you like your romance novels served hot and extra spicy, you'll love this new series.
