Before I met Smoke I’d never been kissed, really kissed, by a man, let alone a biker sex god bent on taking my virginity and my heart.
I got dragged into the deadly world of the Iron Horse MC by my crazy twin sister who is engaged to the club’s President and even crazier mom who only cares about herself. Smoke has been assigned by the club to keep me safe even though he’s everything that I should be afraid of. He’s the kind of man who lives by his own rules and does whatever he wants whenever he wants, but he treats me like I’m something rare and precious, not a socially dysfunctional basket case who has no idea how to love, but needs him more than her next breath.
Not that my feelings matter, because if we don’t find my mother soon, the only thing I’ll have to be worried about is who is going to kill me first.
NOTE- This is Part One of a Two Part book with a ‘Happy for Now’ ending.
4.5 Stars
Smoke sets a woman on fire. Ex military and current Sergeant at Arms for the Iron Horse, this man’s mouth will send chills running from head to toes. Dangerous, sexy and raw, Smoke’s life walks a line that has most people running away screaming. When protection makes the badass fall hard, he and his exquisitely delightful and dirty mouth will stop at nothing to get the woman that has become his world.
Swan is so complex and simple all in one. Smart, beautiful, sheltered and naïve. Living in a bubble of a world, her social skills may not be up to par, but she can withstand and endure things most grown men can’t. Drawn into a world unknown to her simple life, Swan falls into head over heals in more ways than one. Family, independence and a God of a man, change her life in a blink of an eye.
Ann Mayburn’s Exquisite Trouble is wickedly delicious and sinfully naughty. Tempting, titillating and raw. An edgy story that will leave the lover of erotic romance panting. The dual narration by Andy Ross and Stephanie Wyles makes this a dangerous book to listen to while driving. Headphones are advised! Dirty talking men at their finest! If you are a fan of erotic romance( even if you don’t like MC) Exquisite Trouble is a must.
