ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 9, 2021.
The first time I met sexy Stanton Baines, I nearly swallowed my tongue.
But that was before he opened his mouth and directed his insolent comments at me.
Not one to back down from a clash, I fired right back.
From then on, Stanton pursued me with a vengeance.
The first thing I learned was he discarded women like gum wrappers.
Second, the control freak thought he could dominate me.
That billionaire might be the boss of everybody else, but he was never going to be my bosshole.
Nor was I going to be one of his crumpled-up gum wrappers.
My heart had been trampled on enough.
Mr. Baines would not be adding his shoeprints to it.
Except he didn’t give up.
The more I sassed, the more he chased.
After he had me wrapped around his pinkie, he left … as in poofed right out of the country without so much as a farewell.
I figured we were over.
Boy was I ever wrong.
I had completely underestimated the man and that alphahole was about to bring me to my knees … unless I did it to him first.
This is the first book in the Baines Family Novels and it is a stand-alone with an HEA.

REVIEW:Talk about a love-hate relationship! Stanton falls at the top of the heap in the anti-hero column for me, he is an over the top alpha for sure but he is also a big fat a-hole!
Tall, Dark, and Bossy is the most accurate name for this book, lol Stanton is all three, plus a whole lot of domineering as well. The simple fact that this man does what he wants, knows he a a$$hole and thrives, does things to me that I can’t state here lol.
Stacey, like many women has a past, one that involves being hurt by a man, thus she nurtures her broken heart and begins again. This time however, she goes with the logical choice of partner, the safe choice, sure there aren’t any sparks, but that could come in time. Or so Stacey tells herself. At her best friend’s wedding however, her date makes a total full of her and does the one thing Stacey can’t stand. And who comes to the rescue you may ask? None other than Stanton himself. The man that with one glance, sets her entire body on fire. The one man that waves more red flags than anyone has before.
Stanton is a player, a one and done man, sure he can have any woman he wants, but the woman he wants now is Stacey. The second he set eyes on her, he knew there was more to Stacey than just her face. She makes him crave more. More to life than what he has now, and he is more than willing to make the changes to make her his. Stacey takes a chance on him and wow, their chemistry is white hot! Stanton then starts taking over Stacey’s life, but thankfully Stacey isn’t the type of woman to take that kind of B.S from a man, so she throws her attitude around and fights back. Stanton I’m guessing has a little crazy in him, because Stacey’s tude makes him want her more and more.
The story progresses and soon a twist happens, Stanton takes off, no word of warning or goodbye. Stacey doesn’t take this well and decides to try and move on with her life. Then when he rolls back into town and tries to tell her what happened and the reasoning behind it, his life flips on its axis. Then he turns into a full on D-bag. (at this point I almost stopped reading he made me so mad) I don’t want to spoil the ending, but let’s just say that getting to it is so worth the read. I freaking loved this story, the character, even when I wanted to nut punch Stanton and the storyline, it was a whirlwind of drama, spicy and suspense that I just couldn’t put it down. I’m not sure if this is a standalone or if it’s a start to a new series, either way, it’s a total freakin win for me!! Five Stars!
