Title: Sinful Intent

Series: ALFA PI Book #1

Release Date: July 14th

Author: Chelle Bliss

Synopsis:

The moment I saw her, I wanted her.

I tried to resist her, but Race had other plans.

One night, in a moment of weakness, I gave in to my desires.

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.

Temptation can be dangerous.

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.

Review:

WOW! Where to begin. . . I thought the Men of Inked were hot, I'm thinking it's a family thing. Sinful Intent took a different path than Chelle's previous series but it turns out it's a good thing. There is some mystery and suspense involved in here. I enjoyed that it was different and we aren't repeating the flow of the other books. Morgan DeLuca is just as hot as his Florida cousins and I instantly loved him. Race True, hum, I honestly couldn't figure out if I liked her or not. I was put off by the name at first (my first thought was stripper not corporate executive) but you are given the back story to her name and you melt a little. Her personality goes back and for between strong and weak but as the story unfolds you can understand why she is the way she is. Being the huge Men of Inked fan that I am, I am very happy that you still get glimpses into their lives. Since Thomas and James are the owners of ALFA PI, we still get a little Gallo fix a long the way. Chelle proves that she is here to stay and continues to put out amazing work. I loved the preview into Unlawful Desire and that she is bringing in a player from City's life. I am waiting patiently, ok maybe not so patiently, for it to be released .

Unlawful Desire - ALFA PI #2 is available for pre-order **Special pre-order price of $2.99**
