Description from the publisher:
When Brian and Sophie meet, there’s spontaneous combustion.

Too bad they hate each other.

Fashion model Sophia Buckley has despised Brian Zimmer from the first time she heard him speak…and so, without even getting to know him, she plots revenge, executing her plan perfectly. Playing a groupie, she engages Brian in a steamy encounter, only to leave him high and dry.

Brian figures she’s simply the mayor of Crazy Town, vowing to forget the experience and move on.

Except she won’t let him because she keeps turning up in his life.

Despite Brian’s protests, the band’s manager forces Last Five Seconds to engage with this woman because she has an innate talent for stirring up drama. Throw in the paparazzi, and both she and the band get some much-needed publicity.

Forced together, Brian and Sophie find their feelings for one another growing.

But it would never work. They are oil and water, not yin and yang.

So why do they keep ending up in each other’s life? In each other’s bed?

When Sophie cuts Brian to the quick in a very public way, he finds the fuel to walk away for good. But will he really be able to stay away?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SLOW BURN is the fifth book in the Feverish series.  This series is named correctly because it does make me hawt!  Each story will stand on its own, but of course I recommend reading them all.
 
Enemies to forced co-workers to lovers.  Resentment becomes foreplay and it is steamy.  As usual assumptions have to be talked out and faced – by both of them.  I loved the push and pull until it became emotion and love.
 
The Queen of Rock Romance has struck again with a Solid Gold release!  I am looking forward to more from the Last Five Seconds boys.

TEMPTATION OF A DUKE'S DAUGHTER by Samantha Holt

Title:  TEMPTATION OF A DUKE'S DAUGHTER
Series:  Duchess’s Investigative Society #2
Author:  Samantha Holt
Publisher:  Helstone Press
Publish Date:   06.07.2021
Category /Genre:  Historical Romance
Recommended for:  18+ due to sexual content.

Description from the publisher:
Solving a murder is dangerous business. So is falling in love…

Lady Chastity will not stand idly by while her sister is suspected of murder. Since no one wants to help, she’ll take matters into her own hands. The plan? Simple. She’ll disguise herself as a servant and investigate. But when her ruse leads her to the enigmatic Lord Kendall, Chastity soon realizes nothing in her life will ever be simple again…

As much as Valentine would like to ignore the scheming beauty who claims to be a servant, he simply can’t. He needs her. Bringing his footman’s killer to justice would be impossible without her, because the vivacious Chastity can do what he can’t—talk to people and gain their trust. So, he’ll accept the chaos she brings into his life. Accepting her into his heart, however, is another matter entirely…

Fortunately for Chastity and Valentine, intrigue has a way of putting lovers on the path to happily ever after. But first, they’ve got a killer to catch…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TEMPTATION OF A DUKE'S DAUGHTER is the second book in Duchess’s Investigative Society series.  Though each book will stand on its own, I say you don’t want to miss this series.
 
I don’t know which held me more captive – the suspenseful mystery or the heart-thudding romance.  The sexual tension sparked off the page, and the verbal banter assures a lasting relationship that will be fun, flirty, and steamy for decades.
 
Lady Chastity isn’t afraid to do some unusual work to investigate this particular case and Lord Kendall has a personal stake in what would normally be beneath his notice.  Together they are wonderful characters. 
 
This was a delight to read – absolute entertainment as romance and intrigue came together.
