Romance Erotica Sensual

Lizzy Cross does not believe in happily ever after. She learned at an early age that men always let you down, so she is determined to never give her heart to one. She has heard that men are only good for one thing, but Lizzy is convinced that is not true. She has never had a man completely satisfy her, and has turned to using toys. When she hears a voice from the past at her adopted sister's bachelorette party, she is surprised to see that the stripper is her ex-boyfriend. She takes in his masculine body and he compares little to the boy who left her in the streets to fend for herself. How can his voice still make her quiver? How can those eyes make her melt? Will he be able to give her what no other man has? Does she even want to give him that chance?

Ty Black never backs down from a challenge. Otherwise he would not be working as a stripper to pay his way through college. Now when the unexpected happens, and he finally has found his Elizabeth, he knows that he is never going to let her go this time. He only needs to convince her that they belong together, and that is going to take some cunning on his part. She may seem like a capable, independent businesswoman on the outside, but Ty sees this new persona as her brave front to the world. She is still the terrified girl that he left on the streets. Will she ever be to forgive him? Will he capture a place in her heart? Can he show her that a man is able to fully sate her in every way imaginable?

Alyssa Brooks has garnered my attention with this sinfully, erotic read. She has crafted a very sensual romance that is at times extremely arousing. Lizzy and Ty have their romantic moments as well as bouts of steamy sex. They do try a little bit of everything in hopes of making Lizzy happy, but will they succeed in that mission? Lizzy and Ty also have to confront their shared past, and overcome those obstacles before they can have the chance at a future together. HARD TO GET is a wicked delight.

SUMMARY

Who needs boys when a girl's got toys? The author of Come and Get Me has the answer in her sizzling new novel.

Lizzy Cross has given up on men. When it comes to fulfillment, they don't come close to a night alone with her fantasies and a wide variety of immensely pleasurable substitutions. Then on the night of her sister's bachelorette party, Lizzy finds herself staring at the very naked and very familiar torso of her ex . . .

Cockier than ever as a cowboy stripper in leather chaps (and nothing else), Ty is determined to win Lizzy back by taking his act off the stage and putting it back between the sheets. But will he be able to get past the kink that stands between them and show her the true pleasure a flesh-and-blood man can give her?
