Synopsis:

The moment I saw her, I wanted her.
I tried to resist her, but Race had other plans.

I still had a job to do before her world collapsed.
If I failed at finding the person behind the threats, I could lose her forever.

Excerpt:

“You're really purdy,” she slurred with a lopsided grin, running her finger down my cheek.
“That’s it. No more drinks for you,” I said, dragging the glass away from her.
“No! I've only had three,” she said as she lurched forward, pulling the drink out of my hands.
“I'm enjoying myself. I've had a bitch of a week and I deserve to let loose a little.”
I held my hands up. “You've actually had four martinis, but anything you want, princess.”
Her eyes grew into little slits. “I’m not your princess,” she slurred, sounding completely adorable.
My cheeks hurt as I smiled. “I’m going to take you home now. I think you need to sleep it off.”
“Last time I checked,” she said before hiccupping, “you’re not my daddy.” A slow smile crept across her face. She scooted closer and whispered, “Unless that’s your thing.” She tried to wink, but both eyes closed, one after the other.
I leaned into her space, a breath away from her lips. “It’s not my thing, but I'm happy to act out your fantasies. But I don't think you want to cross that line. Once you go there, there’s no going back.” I stared into her eyes.
“Oooh.” Her eyes grew wide. “Is that supposed to scare me, Mr. DeLuca?”
I didn’t move. “I'm just giving you fair warning. You've had a few drinks, and I won’t take advantage of that. I'm just telling you how it is.”
“You're full of yourself.” Her warm, sweet breath caressed my lips as she spoke.
All I wanted to do was reach out, pull her face to mine, and kiss her full, beautiful lips. “I’m sure of myself and confident in my abilities, yes. That’s entirely different than being full of myself.” I licked my lips, testing her.
Her eyes dropped to my mouth as her lips parted.
“Another?” Lisa interrupted.
“We're good,” I replied, keeping my eyes pinned to Race and waving Lisa off.
“Pfft,” Lisa scoffed, stomping away.
Race glared in Lisa’s direction. “She wants you,” she whispered.Was she jealous?“I don’t want her.”
“She’s a sure thing though.”
I leaned closer, leaving very little space between us. “I never liked easy.”
“All men like easy.” Her body swayed, moving so close our lips almost brushed.

This book is different from Chelle's Men in Inked series even though it does have some of the characters. It starts out a little slow but once I kept reading it was hard for me to put it down. I read it in about two days but that was just because life got in the way. I would have read it a lot quicker. After Morgan meets Race it becomes a fast paced book and even though it's a romance, parts of it has you on the edge of your seat and you can't put it down. I loved Morgan from the beginning but Race had to grow on me. I wasn't to thrilled with her name until she explained why her name was Race. After that I started to like it and it seemed to fit her. At first she didn't seem like the right fit for Morgan but further in the story they started to fit together better. It is so hard to tell you everything I liked and didn't like (it wasn't much, I didn't like) without giving spoilers. So I'm going to say I love the direction this new series of Chelle's is going and I can't wait until I can read the next one. I will give this one 5 stars because I swear Chelle can not write a bad book.
