Romance Erotica Sensual | Erotic

Connor Malone does not want to take the job as the bodyguard of pop star Lyric Jones. She is a spoiled, outrageous, and out-of-control diva which makes the job perfect for someone else. Since Lyric is receiving threatening notes, the powers that be want Connor specifically, so Connor bites the bullet and lays down the law of the land with his little pop diva thinking that, as long as she follows the rules, this gig will be over before they both know it. Hopefully sooner rather than later since every time Lyric snaps at Connor or gives him attitude, he gets instantly turned on which is irritating to no end. Yet the longer Connor is with Lyric and her sharp tongue and wit, he realizes there is more to Lyric Jones than loud music and crazy fans. Lyric Jones figures the more outrageous her antics both on and off the stage are the less the public will dig deep into her past and find things Lyric would rather keep buried. Apparently Lyric has gone too far this last time because the record producers are forcing the brooding and gorgeous Connor Malone to be her bodyguard 24/7. Their first meeting doesn't go well but the record company is adamant. Connor's first line of business is to explain to Lyric that she is receiving threatening letters the record company is concerned with, of course Lyric has no idea she was receiving them, which explains more as to why Connor is now her bodyguard. Though Lyric attempts to keep up the pop star diva act with Connor, his presence is more comforting than Lyric would like to admit. Unfortunately, the hot unyielding passion she feels for him can lead to nothing but more heartache. SWEET POSSESSION is book #5 in Maya Banks Sweet Series and tells Connor Malone's story. He is the more vanilla-type in the bedroom of the group, but that doesn't stop his strong, sexy, demanding, and passionate characteristics from burning up the pages. Awesome read!

SUMMARY

She’s a singer who lives for the spotlight—and can’t resist her adoring fans… Outrageous and out-of-control, Lyric Jones is a spoiled pop star who lives hard and fast, always outrunning her past and the nightmares that haunt her. She’s used to getting what she wants—groupies included—because she can’t stand to be alone. So in bed, it’s the more the merrier, even if it means closing off the deepest part of herself… He’s a hands-on bodyguard—and a one-woman man. There is nothing Connor Malone wants to do less than babysit the celebratty songstress while she’s on vacation. But part of him relishes taming Lyric and showing her what it’s like to be possessed—body and soul—by one man. And though Lyric’s crazy antics nearly drive Connor to the edge, his quiet intensity penetrates her defenses, leaving them both vulnerable to the secrets that could topple Lyric from the stage.
