Blurb:  Molly Ramsey lives a nice, normal life. Her cat, her dog, and her two best friends are more than enough for her, thank you very much. Working for her brother’s best friend helps pay the bills, even though she often wants to strangle the sizzling-hot egomaniac with his own outrageously expensive tie!
William “Devil” Delancy built his vast empire through sheer determination and corporate takeover. The millionaire always gets what he wants…from women to companies and all points in between. And when he is done with them, he discards them without another thought. So when his sainted, dying grandmother voices her concern about his lack of a wife, he does what he knows best: he takes what he wants! And it just so happens that the woman nearest and dearest to him is his own assistant – the beautiful Molly.
Join this racy, rollicking romantic comedy that will take you from giggles to gasps and see just how far the Devil can push the unsinkable Molly before she sets both their worlds on fire.

Thoughts:  This is just one of those reads that surprised me from the get-go.  Not only was it romantic, sweet, and charming, but it was laugh-out-loud fun!  Molly was a wonderful character and I enjoyed her blunt honesty, as well as the fact that she didn’t simply fall at the Devil’s feet!  I didn’t expect to feel sorry for Devil at all, but I have to say – there were moments when the poor guy had my sympathy….LOL  Molly kept him (as well as us readers) on our toes!  Don’t worry though – the Devil can definitely hold his own!  But this was simply one dynamic duo that you won’t forget anytime soon, that’s for sure!

I was entranced from page one with this book, and simply could not put it down.  And I very much feel that you guys will be just as addicted…:)  So, all I can really say to this one is….happy reading!  Just be careful where you read it – you may find yourself laughing out loud…and asked what is so funny…LOL

Excerpt:  Molly Ramsey needed a good man.  An honest man.  A man brave enough to not shudder in the face of evils like Devil Delancy and his tap-dancing hot harem of harlots.  Finding that guy was becoming what she quickly was finding an insurmountable challenge.  Between Dev, his floozies, and her overprotective big brother, the odds of finding that magic male were dwindling at a lightning pace.

She was never going to get laid again.

She figured part of the reason that Devil’s exploits irked her so much was her own sexual frustration.  She hadn’t been to bed with a man in two years.

Two incredibly long, supremely unsatisfying years.

At first, the dry spell had been intentional.  After a bad breakup with her college boyfriend, the whole intimacy deal had left a sour taste in her mouth.  In the intervening months, the taste had faded and her heart had healed.

Her long walk through the sexual desert had continued, however, with nary an orgasm in sight.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t had opportunities.  Her gal pals had thrown unsuspecting men in her path – and some of them had actually been quite gorgeous.  Sadly, she hadn’t felt one iota of lust for any of them…not a single speck of desire had flared.  She tried to ignore the fact, however, that butterflies fluttered whenever Devil happened to turn those incredible blue eyes of his on her.

She didn’t understand it.  She was a healthy, not unattractive chick.   So, why was it that she couldn’t get worked up over any of the hot, young men her friends introduced her to?  Why did it have to be the irascible, irritating, and very, very forbidden William Delancy that got her juices flowing freely?

There were two plausible explanations as far as she was concerned.

Either God hated her, which she doubted since she regularly attended church and worshiped devoutly, or – and this was much more likely to her way of thinking – she was mentally unstable.

Yep, that had to be it.  Devil had finally driven her around the bend during the year she’d worked with him and somehow seduced her psyche into dreaming about him every time she closed her eyes.

There had to be a twelve-step program for that.  Perhaps she should contact some of his throng of tramps and find out if they’d formed some kind of self-help club that might help her recover her sanity.

She was sure about one thing, though.  She absolutely could not continue down this rabbit hole.  Alice needed to get the dickens out of Wonderland before she threw herself at the Mad Hatter’s mattress.

Getting horizontal with her brother’s best buddy was not in anybody’s best interest.  Blowing the tumbleweeds off her woo woo with Devil just wasn’t a viable solution – even if the man was a walking, talking sinful temptation.

Nope, she’d just continue her tour through the sexual Sahara badlands all alone.

Growling at the window, Molly ran a hand through her loose red hair, gathering it at the base of her neck.  “Get a freaking grip here, Mols.  This isn’t the end of the world,” she muttered to herself.  If the worst thing she had to complain about was her lack of a good lay, then life could definitely be worse.
