Romance Erotica Sensual | Erotic
You wouldn't think erotica can be absolutely charming but
MISADVENTURES OF A BACKUP BRIDE totally is. Even during any
of the scrumptious sexy scenes, there is evidence of the
innate charm radiated throughout this crazy but great story.
Shayla Black has a way with words and dialog. Her talent is
very evident in the two main characters, and I do mean
characters, in this erotic romantic comedy. I am not usually
impressed with this particular genre, but Shayla Black may
have won me over as a fan. The premise is rather crazy. Carson and Ella. Not exactly
who one would envision as a couple. Ella is an aspiring
actress who can't get that breakout role. Who are we
kidding, Ella just hasn't captured the interest of any
casting company so she is doing the whole starving
actress/waitress thing. Carson has just inherited his
biological father's struggling business. For some reason
that even Carson doesn't understand saving the business of
his absentee father has become his main focus. So, when faced with major financial backlash Carson accepts
the only offer he can find. This financial backer has one
demand, that Carson marry his daughter Kendra. This
arrangement is mutually beneficial for both Carson and
Kendra. With one major issue. There is no real affection or
sexual attraction. And so Carson feels that he must make a
last-minute appeal. The plan includes producing Carson's true love, the woman
who holds his heart. Well, that just might take some doing.
But Carson almost immediately conjures up this woman. A
woman he has been thinking about for a while. A woman he has
no right even thinking about, Ella Hope, his friend's ex. Unbeknownst to either of these people, their attraction is
mutual. Unrequited love aside, they both have spent time
thinking of each other, in the abstract of course, but with
this crazy plan concocted by Carson, it would seem that the
two of them will be spending a lot of time together. All they have to do is prove to Kendra's father that the
two of them are crazy in love with each other. And that's
when the fun begins. Shayla Black takes us down a merry path with these two
crazy, endearing characters that capture your heart. This
story is equally adorable, sassy and steamy. No doubt this
book is going to win this talented author many new fans. MISADVENTURES OF A BACKUP BRIDE is a charming feel-good
romance. There's no reason to believe in a real
relationship between these two characters. But Shayla Black
has a plan and we are along for what is an amazing ride.
SUMMARY
An Overnight Billionaire… When Carson Frost inherits a confectionery that rakes in
billions but is too cash-strapped to last another sixty
days, he agrees to take a loan from his late father’s rival.
There are two catches: Carson has to sign over a permanent
stake in the company and marry the man’s daughter. Concocts a Fake Bride… Two weeks before the wedding, he gets cold feet and claims
he’s in love with someone else. The investor says he’ll
still hand over the cash if Carson takes a stroll down the
aisle—with the woman who owns his heart. Since he isn’t even
dating anyone, Carson panics. Where is he going to find a
bride willing to jilt him at the altar on such short notice? And Whips Up a Little Love. Ella Hope is an actress happy for any paying gig, but
jilting a hottie in public isn’t what she had in mind.
Still, she needs rent, and he’s in a bind. How hard can it
be? While playing at matrimony, suddenly their intimacy
isn’t so fake. Ella can’t help but fantasize that Carson is
her groom and they will live happily ever after. But once
his company is safe, will he want her anymore?
