Please do not buy this book thinking it is a different story or a continuation of the previous Banger books. Thank you.
Katherine Clayton, divorcée and single mother of two, just sent her kids to California to spend the summer with their father. During the ten months of the year when they’re in her custody, she gives all of herself to her children. She doesn’t even date. But the summers are hers, and she’s going to make the most of their absence with her annual summer fling.
Unfortunately, her past four summer romances have fallen flat. If she can’t find a man this summer who can fulfill her needs, this year’s fling will be her last. Katherine needs a man who won’t leave her unsatisfied. For her, bigger truly is better, and anything less than huge won’t do.
Greyson James is more man below the waist than most women can handle, and he’s beyond frustrated that he’s unable to enjoy the great sex other men take for granted. Since he finds no pleasure in causing women pain, traditional sex has become a novelty . . . until he meets Katherine. She’s exactly what he needs and vice versa. And the chemistry between them is undeniable.
But after one night of intense passion, neither is prepared for the wicked ride fate has in store for them. Katherine just inherited her retiring father’s company, and the last thing on her mind is selling. But that’s exactly what Greyson wants her to do, which she finds out in a shocking turn of events when she shows up to a meeting in her father’s place to find that the person she’s meeting with is none other than the captivating man she spent one gloriously erotic night with just days before.
Now Katherine must decide if she can trust Greyson with not only her heart, but her company.
As the Banger Trilogy unfolds, Greyson and Katherine will wrestle with their feelings for each other, long-held family secrets will be revealed, and scandals neither could have imagined will rock them to the core.
Will what they’ve found in each other be enough for happily ever after? Or will one passionate summer be all they share?

REVIEW: CHOOSE ME is the first instalment in Donya Lynne’s contemporary, adult BANGER erotic, romance, novella trilogy focusing on thirty-six year old Rugged Sportswear business owner Greyson James, and thirty-four year old newly appointed CEO of Freedom Cycle Katherine Clayton.
Originally released as the seven-part BANGER serial written by Dick Hertz (aka Donya Lynne), told from dual first person points of view (Katherine and Greyson) CHOOSE ME follows single mother/ divorcee Katherine Clayton as she is about to embark on her fifth summer fling after saying goodbye to her children for their extended vacation. Meeting Greyson James, and his plus-size manhood finds our heroine dreaming about the nights to come but business comes first, and with her father’s retirement on the horizon, our heroine has been named CEO of Freedom Cycle. When a potential buyer arranges a meeting our heroine is none too impressed with what’s about to transpire. Enter Greyson James, Katherine’s previous one-night stand, and the man with whom she will fall in love. What ensues is the realization that Greyson James plans a merger with Freedom Cycle, but is willing to embark on a personal merger, as well.
Greyson James is a man focused on the above –average size of his peen- a detriment to most women due to the sheer size and circumference of everything going on. Throughout the story line the reader is inundated with an inordinate number of references to the size of his junk, an ongoing reminder that becomes a bit too tedious to thoroughly enjoy the overall premise. As the first part of the trilogy begins to evolve, it is the clash between potential business partners, and the fall-out of their sexual relationship that is more interesting than the hero’s over-sized c*ck. As Greyson sets out to find a woman who is able to ‘accommodate’ his size, Katherine searches for her next summer conquest before her children return.
We are introduced to Katherine’s father Robert Clayton; her ex-husband Phil Kelley, and their two young children Christian and Rose; as well as Katherine’s friend Jessica; and Greyson’s friends and business partners CFO Ed and COO Mike; his brother and attorney Brent James.
The author has slipped in a number of ‘Easter Eggs’ into the story with reference to a best-selling popular trilogy that has recently been turned into a three-part movie, some of which I have mentioned throughout my review.
CHOOSE ME is a fast paced, erotic story about two people who find one another only to realize that what they have may all be for naught. The premise is provocative and spicy; the characters are impulsive and startling; the romance has only just begun. I am a big fan of Donya’s AKM series, and her other contemporary reads but CHOOSE ME has left me a little perplexed with my feelings and thoughts. Here’s hoping the next two instalments do not focus on the size of our hero but on the ongoing struggle between business and love.
