In recent months Mary Whaley has seen her three best friends find the loves of their lives. Unlike her friends Mary isn't looking for love and has no jealousy that they have paired off. Mary has just expanded her catering business and supper club and she is focused on making a success for herself. Mary isn't even interested in dating anyone right now. Then Mary meets drummer Damien at her best friend's engagement party which she is catering and she decides a hot one night stand would be okay with her. Damien Hurly wasn't looking for more than a one night stand either. Life on the road touring with his brothers and his band Sweet Hollow Ranch consumes his life and he doesn't have the time for relationships. Besides he's a rock star right? Damien has enjoyed the spotlight including all the screaming fans and hot women, but lately it has left him feeling a bit empty inside. When Damien is introduced to Mary his appetite surges. The two exchange simmering glances all night which are a silent promise to one another that something "more" will be happening when next they meet. LUSH is a sensual delight that will feed your senses. At their friends' wedding Mary and Damien have the opportunity to connect for a night of unbridled passion. Now they have gone back to their busy lives will they realize what they have together could satiate a hunger neither knew they had? LUSH is book three (and as of now the last) in author Lauren Dane's DELICOUS novels. I recommend reading these books in order as the stories happen in succession. This series is a spin off from the Brown Family Novels but it isn't necessary to read the first series to understand and follow this one. Of course I found the Brown Family novels first and that's when Dane won me over. LUSH is a satisfying desert to a most delicious meal.

SUMMARY

Mary Whaley has her hands full running a successful catering company and overseeing her supper club. She has everything she ever wanted—or so she thought. When she meets ridiculously hot and very dirty rock star Damien Hurley at her friend’s engagement party, the attraction she feels is overpowering—and she isn’t about to deny herself. Damien is used to a hard and fast life. He and two of his brothers started a band when they were fresh out of high school—then they hit the big time and stayed there. He’s also a legendary madman on the stage and in the bedroom. But when he meets Mary, something clicks, and the bad boy starts thinking he may have finally found something good. What begins as a series of fleeting trysts soon gets much more complicated. Damien can’t figure out why Mary doesn’t want more from him. And before long, it’s Damien who wants more from Mary. But it turns out Mary is no stranger to celebrity news, and he’s got a very big job ahead of him: proving that he’s worth more than a one-night stand…
