Blame It On The Bachelor

Romance Series

Talk about the proverbial odd couple, the one that no sane reputable person would put money down as a good idea, a winner - well that just about describes Devon McKee and Kylie Kent. But they weren't really what many considered a couple. They were a couple of somewhat bruised by life people looking for an escape into a world of hot bone melting sex with no holds barred and no love everlasting to muddy the picture. Well be careful what you ask for. No doubting the sex was what dreams were made of and left both Kylie and Devon looking forward to their next tryst even though Kylie was reluctant to admit that even to herself. Each time with Devon was absolutely going to be the last, after all she had desires yes but she also had standards.

Her fiancé Jack had left her feeling wounded and lacking in the romance department. Still smarting from that breakup she was intrigued by the blatant sexual advances of the rock star in black leather pants, Dev, who clearly saw her differently than the staid bank representative that looked back at her from her mirror. There was no denying the heat between these two really different people. Interestingly Devon came from a more nurturing home life than did Kylie and when he first laid eyes on her it wasn't with just a desire for another in a long line of one night stands. No for the first time Devon was leading with his heart. Scary proposition for an ex-rock band member turned restaurateur whose entire savings was at risk in this venture. But as Devon got to know more about this polished businesswoman the more he saw how insecure she actually was in matters of the heart. Rather than face getting hurt again she was adamantly set on putting up barriers between the two of them. Devon couldn't ever remember a time when he had to work so hard to get a woman, but then again he had never wanted any woman as much as Kylie, and this time it was definitely for all the right reasons. The problem was how to get her to see past his appearance and see the truth. He was her Mr. Right. Of course he had flaws, doesn't everyone but when it came to Kylie he was going to do anything to get her to look past those to a future together.

Get ready for a hot steamy roll in the hay - well maybe not hay but anyplace convenient will do - witty, heartwarming unconventional love story. You are sure to love the easy banter between two slightly insecure characters as well as the really interesting supporting cast. Karen Kendall had me at page one with BLAME IT ON THE BACHELOR.

SUMMARY

Being led astray never felt better

Banker Kylie Kent is looking for a hookup. Granted, a rehearsal dinner isn't the best place to find a little man-action…until she spots Devon McKee. Devon is all temptation, right down to his melt-your-panties smile that always gets him what—and who—he wants.

And he wants Kylie. But after a scorching encounter, Kylie makes it clear this is a one-time deal. That is, until she learns that she's his account manager.

That could spell disastrous results for her upwardly mobile career. Worse, Devon's sinful suggestions that they chase their business with a giant shot of pleasure can't be ignored. Would it be so wrong to give in…and blame it on the bachelor?
