Contemporary | Romance

The men of the Fifth Avenue series get steamier with each novel. In SCANDALIZE ME written by Caitlin Crews, Hunter Talbot Grant III has been fired from his NFL football team for the many scandalous adventures he created himself. He is a man who is purposely heading towards destruction. He feels this is what he deserves. He was not there for her when she needed him. He turned his back on her, and now he carries the guilt of knowing that maybe he could have stopped her. She is Sarah, his college girlfriend. Her boss was using her as an escort. That boss was his best friend, Austin's father, Jason Treffen. Sarah's only way out she felt was jumping from the Treffen's building to her death. The only way Hunter can deal with the guilt is to punish himself.

Then along comes Zoe Brook, the best Public Relations specialist, and she wants to make it her mission to change Hunter's reputation. She has plans for him, but not just for him. Plans to get back at Jason Treffen for what he has done to her. Hunter is just one person she will use to do it. Zoe finds out that she was mistaken about Hunter. Hunter is not the man she thought he was, and this will not be as easy as she thought. Zoe finds for the first time she might have feelings for someone. How will this affect her plan? Can she go through with it all?

Caitlin Crews did a great job making Hunter irresistible in her novel SCANDALIZE ME. This is a wonderful continuation to the Fifth Avenue series with three friends Austin, Hunter, and Alex and their efforts to make sure one man pays for his treatment of women, in particular a woman named Sarah, their close friend. Read all of them to find out how they get revenge!

* * *

It wasn't the first time a man had propositioned her. But it
was the first time she'd felt a burst of flame lick over her
when he did, and she was terribly afraid he knew that, too.
That he felt the same slap of heat.

She couldn't let that happen, it was impossible, so she
shoved it aside.

"Is that caveman code for β€˜sleep with me so I can put you
back in your proper place'?" she asked, cool and challenging
and back on familiar ground, because she knew this routine.
She could handle this. Jason Treffen had taught her well,
one painful lesson at a time. "Because you should know
before you try, dragging me off by my hair somewhere won't
end the way you think it will. I can promise you that."

Hunter looked intrigued and his head canted slightly to one
side, but that wolfish regard of his never
wavered—bright and hot and knowing. Reaching much too
far inside her.

"I don't want to drag you off somewhere by your hair and
have my way with you, Ms. Brook."

The smile on her lips turned mocking, but she was more
concerned with the sudden long, slow thump of her heart and
the heavy, wet heat low in her belly. "Because you're not
that kind of guy?"

There was something more than predatory in his eyes then,
hard and hot, a dark knowing in the curve of his mouth that
connected with that deep drumroll inside her, making it her
pulse, her breath, her worst fear come true.

"I'm absolutely that kind of guy. But I told you. You have
to ask me nicely."

He smiled, as if he was the one in control. And she couldn't
allow it.

"No," she said, furious that it came out like a whisper,
thin and uncertain. His smile deepened for a moment, like a
promise.

"Your loss," he murmured, and that aching fire swelled
inside her, nearly bursting.

And then he laughed again, dismissing her, and turned to go.
Again. For good this time, she understood, and she couldn't
let that happen.

Zoe had no choice.

"I wouldn't do that, Mr. Grant." She didn't know why the
dryness in her mouth seemed to translate into something like
trembling everywhere else when she'd known before she'd
approached him that it would probably come to this. She made
herself smile. "I know about Sarah."
