ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 15,2022

The bad boy brother. The by-the-books detective. A random meeting that will change their lives.

Miles Bridger would rather be home in New York than stuck on a Montana ranch with his newfound half brothers, thanks to his deadbeat dad’s will. Miles now works with bulls and hay bales instead of custom bikes. He keeps his sense of humor about the whole thing…until a dead body surfaces on the ranch and he and his brothers are thrown headfirst into a murder investigation.

Sadie Hopkins plays by the rules in her job as detective, so she’s only too happy to turn a little naughty during a bachelorette party dare. Heat flares between Sadie and the gorgeous blond man she approaches, but when a high-profile case crosses her desk the next day, she’s in for a surprise. The man from the bar is none other than Miles Bridger…and he’s a murder suspect.

Despite this revelation, Miles and Sadie’s chemistry sizzles. But the flawed Miles doesn’t do relationships, and Sadie’s past crashes into the present with a surprising discovery that could spell danger for both of them.

REVIEW:When these two authors get together, it is always a fabulous time! Flawed is the second installment in The Billion Heirs Trilogy and surrounds three newly found brothers, Miles, Austin and Chance. As always, I recommend reading a series in order to get the best out of it, but Flawed can be read as a standalone.

This book gave all the feels of a small town romance, but with underlying tones of bad boy with a heart of gold romance, but maybe that was just me.

Miles’ life has been turned on its axis. One moment he is living his best life doing what he loves in the hustle and bustle of New York, to rural no man’s land of Montana herding bull and shovelling poo. Thanks to his “never gave a crap” sperm donor, Miles now finds himself with three new step brothers and his life going in a completely different direction than he thought.

In an attempt to clear his head, Miles hops on his latest motorcycle and takes a ride. This leads him to a meet cute with a woman he can’t seem to help not talking to. One thing leads to another, and she ends up on the back of his bike. When morning comes, Miles still can’t get the woman out of his mind, even if she left his bed. Miles returns to what has become his life, only to find that a body has been found on their property. And who is the one to investigate this?

The girl from the bar. She’s a cop, she’s here in his home. What does he do?

This book totally has it all, mystery, excitement, spicy bits and sarcasm too. Sadie and Miles light up the pages with their chemistry and the family drama is no laughing matter either. Two of the three brothers have found love on the ranch. Only Chance is left, and boy oh boy, I can’t wait for his story!!

Who doesn’t love the romance of the old West? USA Today Bestselling author Vanessa Vale takes the sensual appeal of rugged cowboys a step further with her bestselling books set in the Montana Territory. They are much more than just sexy historical westerns. They’re deliciously naughty reads that sometimes push the boundaries of fantasy. It’s pure escapism with quite a few very hot, very alpha cowboys. When she’s not writing, Vanessa savors the insanity of raising two boys, is figuring out how many meals she can make with a pressure cooker, and teaches a pretty mean karate class. She considers herself to be remarkably normal, exceedingly introverted and fairly vanilla, which does not explain her steamy stories and her fascination with cowboys, preferably more than one at a time. She lives in the Wild Wild West where there’s an endless source of ‘research’ material.

About the book: Release Date January 17, 2017

When Tori Reed loses everything, he sets her free.

I told myself I’d never trust Miles Girard, no matter how brilliant or sexy he may be. His sister, Chloe—Ethan Frost’s wife—is my best friend, but I know just how low Miles will stoop to get what he wants. Now he’s the last thing I want: my boss.

Growing up, I had it all—except for the sense that I belonged. And when a mistake from my past surfaces in the press, my parents don’t hesitate to cut me off.

But surprisingly, Miles offers me a helping hand.

Before I know it, our relationship turns unprofessional in the hottest ways. Of course, he still drives me crazy. But when I’m dealt the ultimate blow, Miles is there for me. And maybe he’s the one I’ve been looking for all along.

••••••••••••

REVIEW: FLAWED is the fourth installment in Tracy Wolff’s contemporary, adult ETHAN FROST erotic, romance series. This is scientist Miles Girard, and Tori Reed’s story line. FLAWED can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Miles is the brother of Chloe Frost (Ethan Frost 1-3), and Tori is Chloe’s best friend.

Told from dual first person points of view (Tori and Miles) FLAWED looks at the enemies to lovers relationship between trust baby Tori Reed, and scientist Miles Girard. Tori is a bit of a spoiled rich girl and when a sex tape, from two years earlier, is released to the public our heroine finds herself penniless and without a home thanks to her father-a man who has had enough of his daughter’s partying ways. With no place to go, Tori heads to one of Ethan Frost’s many homes only to discover that the man she blames for much of Chloe’s heartbreaking past is the current resident. Enter scientist Miles Girard, Chloe’s older brother, and the man who pushes all of Tori’s buttons. What ensues is the building relationship between Tori and Miles, and Tori’s struggle to accept help when she needs it the most.

The relationship between Tori and Miles is acrimonious at best. Tori has no respect for her best friend’s brother-a man she believes played a role in destroying her best friend’s life. Miles is a brilliant scientist once caught in a game of deceit and power but has left that life behind to work for Frost Industries. His attraction to Tori is immediate; their sexual chemistry is palpable and hot. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

We are introduced to Tori’s long suffering father as well as a one time boyfriend Alexander Parson. Ethan and Chloe Frost play secondary and supporting roles bringing some familiarity and cohesion to the story line premise.

The world building focuses on the relationship between Tori and Miles, and Tori’s struggle to get on with her life. Miles is a man determined to make everything right but in doing so forgets that the life he is affecting is the woman that he loves. The majority of the story line keeps the reader locked inside the house with Tori and Miles.

FLAWED is a story about two people ‘flawed’ by their pasts. Tori’s misdirected hatred towards Miles continues throughout a portion of the story; Tori’s history of partying and one-night stands comes back to bite her in the proverbial a$$. The premise is intoxicating; the characters are energetic and passionate; the romance is provocative and intense. FLAWED is an engaging and entertaining tale about one woman’s decent into the abyss, and one man’s struggle to make everything go away.
