ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 6, 2019

He always gets his way…until he meets his match.

“I need you back. Now.”
—William Walker

I can’t believe I’m letting my ex-boss talk me into working for him again. He’s arrogant. Domineering. He gets under my skin in ways I don’t want to admit. When I quit, it felt great! But now, seeing the big, bad billionaire rendered helpless by a baby, I give in to his demand. And I’m worried it won’t be the last time…
—India Crowle

REVIEW: BIG SHOT is the second instalment in Katy Evan’s contemporary, adult, erotic, romance series. This is billionaire businessman William Walker, and his PA India Crowley’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (William and India) BIG SHOT follows the acrimonious professional relationship between billionaire businessman William Walker, and his PA India Crowley. India is tired of William’s attitude in the office, and decides it’s time to hand in her resignation. As William’s personal assistant India finds herself on the receiving end of William’s bad attitude and emotional outbursts more times than she can handle. But days into her self-imposed unemployment William offers India a deal she cannot refuse as he struggles with looking after his four month old niece. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between William and India, and the potential fall-out as their time together comes to an end.

William Walker doesn’t do office romances but he struggles with his attraction to his PA India Crowley, an attraction that manifests as cold, emotional distant and mean. When his brother and sister in law need time to themselves, William finds himself looking after his four month old niece, and is desperate enough to beg India for her return. India Crowley has dreamed about becoming a writer, and with her lack of employment India begins freelance working for online blogs. A call from William pulls India back into the orbit of the man that pushes all of her buttons, buttons that are about to be pushed  again.

The relationship between William and India is a forbidden office romance; an enemies to lovers partnership that comes with an expiry date unless someone steps up and reveals their true feelings. The sex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to William’s brother Kit and Alex ( Boss #1), their daughter Rosie, as well as their father Alistair, and India’s roommate and best friend Montana.

BIG SHOT is a story of family, relationships, and workaholic. The premise is entertaining; the romance is hot and steamy; the characters are energetic and charismatic but I had hoped for a little more back ground information about both of the characters.

ABOUT THE BOOK: RELEASE DATE July 27, 2017

To believe one person can change your destiny sounds absurd. But it happened to me… twice.

Ten years ago I had no idea what I wanted out of life, until I met Hannah Michaels. She was a computer-engineering student ready to conquer the social media world, and I was smitten. Even though I knew she was taken, I had to have her.

Being the big shot that I was, I didn’t let her status stand in my way. It wasn’t long before my hands were on her thighs and my name a whisper on her lips. This smart, sexy girl inspired me to greatness, helped me grow into the kind of man I never knew I wanted to be. The man I am today.

Too bad I hadn’t grown fast enough to keep her.

Moving on wasn’t easy, but I knew I had to let her go. Eventually, I found someone to share my days and nights with, and together we had a daughter. My life was nearly perfect until my world turned upside down.

A single father has challenges, and one of those is learning how to calmly deal with your child coming home in tears. I had no idea the day I pounded on my daughter’s classmate’s door, Hannah would be the one standing on the other side.

The wild, burning desire that roared through my veins was unwanted, and yet impossible to ignore. Letting her in meant so much more this time around. Guilt hit me like a hammer. I hated myself. I hated her. The problem was I really didn’t hate her—I wanted her more than ever.

But this time around I can’t have her.

This time it’s my status that stands in our way. And going up against myself just might be the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

••••••••••••••

REVIEW: BIG SHOT is the second installment in Kim Karr’s contemporary, adult SEXY JERK WORLD erotic, romance series focusing on a tight knit group of friends. This is successful IT developer and single father Jace Bennett, and computer engineer Hannah Michaels’ second chance story line. BIG SHOT can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Jace was first introduced in book one SEXY JERK.

NOTE: BIG SHOT contains mature scenes of M/F/M sexual interactions.

Told from dual first person points of view (Hannah and Jace) with present day and memories from the past BIG SHOT focuses on regrets and second chances between successful businessman Jace Bennett-a widower and single father of his five year old daughter Scarlett, and the woman he has always loved Hannah Michaels, divorced mother of a five year old boy named Jonah, and a woman struggling with memories from the past. Jace and Hannah’s reunion, of sorts, is brought about by the school yard bullying of their primary school children, as well as the new hiring of a computer programmer for Jace’s Fortune 500 Company-Flirt Enterprises. Ten years earlier Hannah was very much a part of Jace Bennett, and his best friend Ethan Miller’s life-a life that centered on friendship, sex and an unconventional relationship between a girl, the men in her life, and the secret and lies that destroyed her trust in the man that she loved. Fast forward to present day wherein Hannah comes face to face with the man she has never forgotten but a man so lost in a world of grief and guilt that he is willing to throw away a second chance at love. What ensues is the back and forth, rebuilding but struggling relationship between Hannah and Jace, and the potential fall out when Jace is unwilling to admit that Hannah is the woman he has always loved. Feeling sorry for himself Jace is unable to look beyond the past or the guilt that encompasses his life.

The relationship between Hannah and Jace is one of second chances; a rekindling romance that reveals the backstory about three friends who found love, laughter, and heartbreak when the truth about Jace’s past is finally revealed. It is here that the build up to destruction of their relationship becomes lost in a less than powerful reasoning-in fact, Hannah’s need to push Jace and Ethan out of her life was more of a ‘hurt feelings’ and ‘immature emotional response’ than a true betrayal or set of lies. Their rekindling romance continues to suffer as Jace and Hannah’s back and forth emotional battle lends too much fodder to an already tepid but sexually charged reunion. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense.

We are reintroduced to Nick and Tess, Ethan and Fiona (Sexy Jerk), Nick’s brother Lucas Carrington, as well as a IT app developer Amanda Woodward, Hannah’s immediate boss at Flirt Enterprises Perry Reeves, Jace’s nanny Mrs. Sherman, as well as Hannah’s son Jonah, and Jace’s daughter Scarlett. Lucas’s story line is next in HOT STUFF.

BIG SHOT is a little darker than book one SEXY JERK. There are emotional highs and lows, heartbreak and pain, guilt, perceived betrayal, and a happily ever after. The premise is tragic but encouraging; the characters are broken but inspiring; the romance is fated and tense. BIG SHOT is a dramatic look at two people whose lives went in opposite directions when a lack of communication and perceived betrayal tore them apart.

Except for his best friend’s little sister and business adversary, Natalie Prescott, who seems immune to his flirtatious charms. While she’s becomes a permanent fixture in this dirtiest, most scandalous fantasies, she want nothing to do with him or his seductive promises. Challenge accepted. His goal? To bring her to her knees, make her beg, and show her just how good being bad can be.

••••••••••

REVIEW: BIG SHOT is the first installment the contemporary, adult erotic, BOOK BOYFRIEND romance series co-authored by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. This is hot shot realtor Wes Sinclair, and up and coming realtor Natalie Prescott’s story line. BIG SHOT was originally released under the title HOT AS SIN.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Wes and Natalie) BIG SHOT follows the building relationship between two real estate agents Wes Sinclair and Natalie Prescott. For most of her life Natalie has been in love with her brother Connor’s best friend Wes Sinclair. A successful realtor selling million dollar listings Wes is the man to beat when it comes to the competition. Natalie’s chart climbing sales are in direct competition to her brother’s friend, and it doesn’t help that Wes refused Natalie’s request for a position with his firm. When Natalie finalizes a sale that once belonged to Wes Sinclair, the two make a bet that Natalie is determined not to lose. What ensues is a two week payment wherein our heroine will lose her heart to a man who wants nothing more than the present and a good time.

The relationship between Natalie and Wes is one of life-long attraction but Natalie is Connor’s younger sister, and for all intents and purposes is off limits to Wes Sinclair. Natalie has secretly been in love with We Sinclair for most of her life but the man refuses to see her as more than the ‘brat’ she was growing up. When Natalie loses a bet placing herself in a two week position to do everything that Wes wants, our heroine is determine to drive Wes crazy and out of his mind ensuring he will never forget that she is no longer the little girl from years before. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive with a little bit of ‘spanking’ on the side.

We are introduced to Wes’s best friends and business partner, as well as Natalie’s brother-Connor Prescott, and fellow realtor Max Sterling, as well as Natalie’s best guy friend and agent Richard Weller. I am hoping for a story line featuring Richard and someone he can love.

The world building focuses on the ‘payment of debt’ when Natalie loses a bet to Wes Sinclair. Wes’s attraction to Natalie increases with every encounter but Natalie is determined to walk away before the heartbreak of love- an offer from out of state finds our heroine considering her options.

BIG SHOT is a flirty and sexy romance between two people who have lusted after one another for years. The writing is seamless; the story line flows evenly as the two authors blend their talents for a magnificent story. The premise is heartwarming and enjoyable; the romance is passionate and intense; the characters are energetic and playful.
