Romance | Romance Erotica Sensual

Adam Collins is the local bad boy fireman. He comes from a long line of bad boys. His father left his mother when he and his brother were little boys. And his grandfather did the same. No man in his family has stayed faithful to his wife as far back as Adam as knows. And Adam has decided it's not even worth trying -- he doesn't want to break a good woman's heart, so he's just going to have fun with his life.

Josie Wells is the local kindergarten teacher. She is sweet, pretty, and the type of girl a guy considers marrying. Josie is ready to find Mr. Right. She even goes to the town psychic to get some info about her future Mr. Right so she'll be ready when he comes along.

Josie's friends convince her that Adam might be a good way to spend some time while she is waiting for Mr. Right and they decide to push them together at the town's fall festival. Josie decides to test the waters at the kissing booth and things get downright steamy during a contest to remove fire gear. Things very quickly heat up between Adam & Josie and they are left trying to decide if things between them are just for fun or if they are playing for keep.

BRAZEN is a very fun, erotic short story. Carthryn Fox did a great job with character development for such a short story. I really enjoyed this story and will definitely go back and read the first book in the Whispering Cove series -- Wet in Whispering Cove.

SUMMARY

Josie Wells’s libido is in an uproar. Her psychic promised she’d meet Mr. Rightβ€”two months ago. Her good-girl image is wearing thin, and when she gets the chance to have a little fun with town bad boy Adam Collins, she decides to go for it. The notorious playboy will be perfect for some no-strings play time until the real thing comes along. Knowing he goes for the brazen type, Josie pours on the heat to seduce him at the town’s Festival. The kiss they share touches off an explosion of passion she never saw coming. Adam’s always been crazy about Josie, but he’s never been willing to expose such a nice girl to the Collins Curse. She deserves the big house with the white picket fenceβ€”with a man who doesn’t have failed relationships written all over his family tree. As their brief affair starts to become something moreβ€”and the town psychic predicts that Josie is destined to be hisβ€”Adam dares to hope there’s a chance. But then he learns a secret that makes him question what’s real…and what isn’t. Warning: Contains hot sex against a fire truck, a sexy firefighter who’s willing to do what it takes, and enough orgasmic explosions to rock your world!
