Anna Rossi lives by one simple rule: Don't get attached, don't get hurt. But Alec Flynn doesn’t play by the rules... Anna never takes on a massage client without screening him first, but the paycheck offered by billionaire Maxim Stein is too good to turn down. Stein is the richest man she's ever laid her hands on, and despite the risks, she trusts that she can take care of herself. After all, she's handled difficult clients in the past.
Your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, right? That's what they say, at least. I went into that day hoping I'd get the happiest day of my life. What I got? The worst. I mean, you really can't get any worse of a day without someone actually dying. So...I may have gotten just a little drunk, and maybe just a tad impetuous...and landed myself in a dive bar somewhere in Alaska, alone, still in my wedding dress, half wasted and heartbroken.
When you think about how easy it is to lose keys, phones, sunglasses and your dignity on social media, you might figure it'd be a cinch for me to ditch my V Card. You'd be wrong. At 25, I run a successful business, live in a fantastic apartment, and have fabulous friends to go out with any night of the week. And yet I'm still a card-carrying member of a club I don't want to belong to anymore. Good thing I know just the man for the deflowering job - my brother’s business partner and best friend.
When my husband Oliver died, my life ended. My purpose, my passion, my everything bled out with him on the side of the Pacific Coast Highway. Ollie was an organ donor. His eyes, his brain, his lungs, his heart...parts of my Ollie went out and saved lives. Then his heart, beating in another man's chest, found its way back to me, and I found myself faced with an impossible choice: hold on to the pain and beauty of the past and the memory of the man I loved, or reach for a bold new future.
A new standalone novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Vi Keeland. The night I met Drew Jagger, he'd just broken into my new Park Avenue office. I dialed 9-1-1 before proceeding to attack him with my fancy new Krav Maga skills. He quickly restrained me, then chuckled, finding my attempted assault amusing. Of course, my intruder had to be arrogant. Only, turned out, he wasn't an intruder at all. Drew was the rightful occupant of my new office. He'd been on vacation while his posh space was renovated.
Face it, ladies: love sucks and then you cry while your ex rides off into the sunset banging your best friend. But why let a break-up end in tears when it can end with sweet revenge? Enter Magnificent Bastard Consulting and me, chief executive bastard. I've got it all - looks, brains, a heart of gold, and the killer instinct guaran-damn-teed to make your ex regret the day he said goodbye.

It started out like any other morning on the train - until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle. He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world. Who did the stuck-up suit think he was...God? Actually, he looked like a god. That was about it.
When I met Donovan Kincaid, I knew he was rich. I didn't know he was filthy. Truth be told, I was only trying to get his best friend to notice me. I knew poor scholarship girls like me didn't stand a chance against guys like Weston King and Donovan Kincaid, but I was in love with his world, their world, of parties and sex and power. I knew what I wanted - I knew who I wanted - until one night, their world tried to bite me back and Donovan saved me. He saved me, and then Weston finally noticed me, and I finally learned what it was to be in their world.
Rex Gunner. As bitter as he is beautiful. The owner of the largest construction company in Gingham Lakes has been burned one too many times. His wife leaving him to raise their daughter was the last blow this single dad could take. The only woman he'll let into his heart is his little girl. When Rex meets his new neighbor, he knows he's in trouble. She's gorgeous and sweet and everything he can't trust. Until she becomes the one thing he can't resist.
Books talk about sparks flying. F--k that shit. With her, it was like emergency flares mixed with jet fuel. Or maybe just straight up napalm. Only one problem: She wouldn't tell me her name or her number when she disappeared from the hotel room after the hottest f--king night of my life. Now I've had a taste of unicorn pussy - the sweetest, rarest of all pussy - and I need it again. So what's an asshole to do? I took this problem to the street, a missed connection gone viral. And when I find her? I'm keeping her.
I was born into British aristocracy, but I've made my fortune in Manhattan. New York is now my kingdom. Back in Britain, my family is fighting over who's the next Duke of Fairfax. The rules say it's me - if I'm married. It's not a trade-off worth making. I could never limit myself to just one woman. Or so I thought until my world is turned upside down. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I've never wanted - so I need a wife. To take my mind off business I need a night that's all pleasure.
Early in her life, Josephine Malone learned the hard way that there was only one person she could love and trust: her grandmother, Lydia Malone. Out of necessity, unconsciously and very successfully, Josephine donned a disguise to keep all others at bay. She led a globetrotting lifestyle on the fringes of the fashion and music elite, but she kept herself distant. While Josephine was trotting the globe, retired boxer Jake Spear was living in the same small town as Lydia.
The seductive story that started in The Masseuse continues.
Anna Rossi knows that opening your heart only gets you hurt. But Alec Flynn is just too good to resist.
It's been three long months since Anna's seen Alec, since he saved her life and lit up her soul with unquenchable desire. Being without him has left her on edge, but his bravery has motivated her to change her life and go after what she's always wanted - a job where she can help people. She can't wait to show Alec the woman she's become in his absence, or to prove how much she's missed him.
Three months away has done nothing to slake Alec's need for Anna. Unfortunately, it hasn't made his life any less dangerous. The last thing he wants to do is hurt Anna, but if giving her up is the only way to save her, he's not sure he can do that either. He's determined to have her for as long as he can. Except his past is creeping up on him faster than he knows, and this time he may not be able to keep her from becoming collateral damage.
I have a love/hate relationship with Trilogies..... especially the really exciting and well-written ones like this, because they make me so frustrated at the cliffhanger endings that I find myself wishing my life away until the next book is released when I can finally put all the puzzle pieces together. But arghh and sadly the next one doesn't come out til May!!
Anyhooo, this is book 2 in Sierra Kincade's fantastic and thrilling Body Work Trilogy where Alec and Anna are still battling everything to stay together but tensions are high, people aren't who you think they are and Alec, being the only witness left that can take down his Boss, has had to go into protective custody which leaves Anna feeling very alone and vulnerable. Suspense, shocks, who to trust?, twists, hot sex, high passions, soul-soul chemistry, danger, intrigue, murder attempts, interesting secondary characters and a beautiful, sad and doomed love affair. Anna has held on, clung to hope, waited three months for Alec to come out of prison, now it's 10 weeks while he's under wraps (even if he does find touching ways to be near her). But the danger she's putting everyone else in that she loves by being associated with Alec might just be the final straw.
Told from Anna's POV, the narrator was great and could do a sexy drool-worthy Hero's voice with no problems as well as all the other characters and a full range of emotions with ease.
Worth a credit? This was just as captivating, just as intense and just as packed full of intrigue as The Masseuse was and, as I've said, I can't wait to finally hear how these two lovers can possibly get their much deserved HEA ending but I'm ever hopeful. Very creditworthy and I'm off now to count the days!!

While the story is compelling, I was a bit frustrated at times because I didn't remember important details from the previous book that would have helped explain people's behavior. Not only must the first book be read first, but this second one should be read immediately thereafter.
I must admit I was skeptical that after book one the author would be able to pull off another book with this story. It felt like the story was over. How wrong I was! So glad I stuck with it because she did an amazing job!
Great narrator. Wonderful story. Not too much sexy time, but not lacking either! Just a great story all around. Can't wait for the next one!
