Please either buy or borrow this book and remember to leave a review.

The book Amanda was using at the beginning of the book to teach her to be a seductress too funny. But it helped the reader see the headspace she was in. She was a beautiful woman but not confident in finding a man that could make her happy. She wanted someone with an edge and to help her get spice in her life. Little did she know that that spice would come from her boss Mick.

Mick is a sweet guy even if he doesn’t want to be. He was meticulous with all aspects of his life and he wanted Amanda from the beginning. Problem: he was her boss and I think he was also afraid in a way. Afraid to commit. So when he met her the next day he was hopeful but wary and when she didn’t realize until he told her that he was the masked man it I think kind of hurt him. That didn’t stop them from having when steamy sexy weekend though. He treated her with reverence and awe. All the while trying to help her see what to look out for and protect her from other roguish men. Mick had already fallen for Amanda before this but being her boss made it complicated.

I love the chemistry between these two and how honest and open they are with each other. It made for a refreshing book that shows how close in a way these two were before the weekend and now they had some awkwardness but they respected each other and were attracted to one another. I love how Mick is with her he treats her like a goddess but also shows his hunger and desire.

The book was sensual and wonderful. We see two people who like one another come together and have a amazing weekend but also struggle because they are boss and employee. this caused some wrinkles but also I think Mick’s fear or what I think is fear of becoming like his dad and doing like his dad did although it helped make him successful but also made him fear love and commitment does as well. Seeing him overcome this for the woman he loves and realizing she grounds him and makes him better is a incredible journey to watch in this book. Watching them together is fun, sexy and sinful. Seeing them go on the journey to be together is amazing and frustrating at times- frustrating because of the situation. Her growth in seeing herself as a siren like Mick does was wonderful and his to love was as well. Character emotion driven with sensuality galore is this book that warms your heart as you go on the journey of Mick and Amanda and how they find love with one another and balance their worlds of work and personal.

So this happened again. By reading one new book, I have discovered I need to obviously read all the rest of the books in the Bad Boys After Dark series, but now I have to read the Wild Boys After Dark series because I think I might love them too.

So let's start with Mick Bad shall we? Brilliant lawyer, strikingly gorgeous, over six feet of yumminess and convinced because of a terrible tragedy from his past there's no such thing as happily ever after.

Then there's Amanda Jenner, Mick's equally brilliant and beautiful paralegal. Buttoned up and perfectly polished, she's looking to unleash her inner bad girl with the help of a book. That being said Amanda does believe in happily ever after and just to make things interesting, she'd like that happily ever after to be with Mick Bad, her boss.

Here's where the fun really begins. A bar crawl. Yep, you heard me, a masquerade bar crawl. Amanda goes dressed up and sexified to practice the seduction skills the rule book has taught her and Mick is there because well our lawyer hottie just needs a little release. Until he spots Amanda talking to another guy (no he doesn't know it's her) but their eyes meet and you feel their intense connection across the crowded bar.

In one of the hottest bathroom scenes I've ever read Mick and Amanda connect in more ways than one. They almost seal the deal but, Mick notices something on his mystery girl that makes him realize just who he's actually with in the bathroom. In an act of incredible restraint he stops what they're doing and puts Amanda in a cab home. Before he lets her go, they make a date for the following night.

You can only imagine what happens when Amanda walks and realizes her mystery man is the person she's had a crush on for the last three years. After the initial shock, believe it or not, Mick convinces Amanda to give him one night. One night of passion that they both clearly want. One night for her to use the seduction skills she's worked so hard to acquire. Um, seriously do you think she'll turn that proposition down? Only here's the thing. One night isn't enough for either of them so Mick proposes they share a weekend together and then everything goes back to normal on Monday at work. The two go back to being friends and coworkers. Sounds like a plan right?

The weekend Mick and Amanda share is beyond anything they could imagine. Their chemistry is absolutely steaming hot. And yet Mick keeps insisting to Amanda and to himself he can't give her all the things she deserves. Amanda who promises this weekend only arrangement is cool with her, falls a little more in love with Mick everyday.

So what happens friends? After an amazing weekend together how does it all play out in the end? Come on. Did you really think I'd give it away? No, sillies. I want you to read Melissa Foster's Bad Boys After Dark starring the oldest Bad brother Mick.

Yes, there are three more brothers to read about, but I don't know if I'll be able to love any of them as much as I love Mick. He's romantic even when he says he can't be. He's sweet, he's chivalrous and he is uber swoon worthy. Jeez I fell in love with him with every turn of the page.

Of course I love the chemistry of Mick and Amanda and the heat between them is just delicious. I love the relationship of the brothers. They're a tight family and even though they've suffered a horrible tragedy, they've stuck together with Mick as their glue.

Younger brother Dylan's story is next and I can't wait to see what Melissa Foster has done with him. But for now, Mick Bad is my newest addiction with a solid four lip smack review.

Review

This is not my first read by the wonderful Melissa Foster, so I knew what to expect before I even opened 'Mick'. Here is what I knew: 1. It was going to be passionate, sexy and hot, hot, hot; 2. It was going to be a FIVE star; 3. My heart strings would not only be pulled; they would be shredded; 4. I was going to fall in love with Mick Bad. And surprise, surprise! 'Mick' did just that!
This novella is the first in the 'Bad Boys After Dark' and the fifth in the 'After Dark'. The 'After Dark' series is a sort of large, overarching banner series to 'Wild Boys After Dark', 'Bad Boys After Dark' and 'Good Girls After Dark'. If you haven't checked out 'Wild Boys After Dark', BE SURE TO!
I loved how relatable the characters were! It was as if they were personally designed to appeal to me! The connections I forged with them allowed for me to experience their world on a very high level! I couldn't have asked for better characters!
I loved how the novella didn't just contain the passionate scenes but it focused on a real story. One that sounded and felt real with a depth of emotion and design. These characters felt like real people because of the history that each was given. I was completely enchanted!
Amanda Jenner was a great female lead! I felt like she perfectly captured the shy and insecure parts of every women. Those determines to escape their shells and become somebody more confident and sexy.
Mick Bad has topped my favourite male lead in this series! I feel like with every consecutive new novella, each male lead has risen above the previous. He was mighty sexy and I admired the thought and background that the author put behind him!
The writing style was great! It conveyed a lot with the simplest of words and this really showed itself. I really admire this about Melissa Foster!
Despite the short length of the novella, I found it highly entertaining! I as a reader I thought that the short length would draw away from the power and emotion that usually make these types of romance novels...but once again I was mistaken. I wouldn't doubt picking these novellas up despite their short length. They're well worth it!
Congratulations to Melissa Foster on publishing the first instalment in the 'Bad Boys After Dark' series!

Rating Plan
1 star : Strongly did not like the book, writing and plot was bad. Idea of the book was against my liking.
2 star : Didn't like it, didn't find it interesting or gripping. Seemed to drag on to me.
3 star : An average book. Wasn't bad or good. Everything else was well done. Original idea.
4 star : Like a 3 star but has potential to it as a series or the book grew on me as it progressed and certain scenes captured me. I Enjoyed it and read it in one sitting.
5 star : I LOVED IT! I stayed up late until 3 am. Author is a genius, characters, plot, idea, development, EVERYTHING was EXCELLENT. Nothing else can possibly be said except that it's 5 STAR!

Amanda Jenner is tired of being the prim and proper paralegal who plays by the rules but goes home lonely and in need of that something that her sister now has. She's read through a book that gives her a whole new set of rules she's excited to try out, and her first outing proves to be somewhat successful when she grabs the attention of man hidden behind a beard and a mask. Anonymity is key, with Amanda also donning her own mask and wig, but when things get hot and heavy and she speaks, the man knows right away who she is. He decides to hold off on giving them what they both want and arranges for a meeting the following night. Imagine Amanda's surprise when she figures out that the man who rocked her world the night before is none other than her boss, Mick Bad, the man who's starred in each of her secret fantasies.

Mick doesn't do relationships. Life has taught him that love doesn't last and that promises, no matter how hard one tries to make and keep them, can be broken. That doesn't stop him from dreaming of ways to be with Amanda, but a woman like that deserves more than he could ever give her. He doesn't believe in marriage and has no plans of ever having children. But when an encounter leads to an arrangement that will have Mick teaching Amanda what she needs to do to seduce another man, he gives in, allowing himself those few days to be with the woman he dreams of. As close as they get, Mick reminds Amanda--and himself--that there can be nothing more when they return to the city on Monday. Amanda has broken down his defenses, but will that be enough for him to finally admit that he's now ready to believe in more?

Someone hand me a fan already! From the moment Mick and Amanda get busy, they get busy, and that's with them hiding their identities behind masks. While anonymity may make everything seem more illicit, it's those encounters when they know exactly who it is making them feel things, both physically and emotionally, that heighten the whole experience for them. Things may have started out with Amanda needing how to learn to gain a man's attention, but it's Mick who learns to open himself up. This is indeed a steamy read, but don't doubt that there are sweet moments between the two, and those are the moments that capture your heart. Those last two chapters? Major love! There's a tiny introduction to who Dylan Bad will be paired up with, and December seems so far away! But do check out Mick, which gets four stars. ♥

“Tonight I’m not your boss, Amanda. Tonight I’m your stranger.” He slid his hand over the top of her thigh, grazing his fingertips just beside her sex. “One night of pleasure. A fantasy. No strings. No regrets.” He brushed his lips over hers and pressed a kiss to the corner of her mouth. “Just one night, and we’ll never speak of it again.”

Hang on to your panties ladies, the Bad brothers are on the prowl! This was my first Melissa Foster book, and the first book in the Bad Boys After Dark spinoff series, and I have to say it definitely won’t be my last! This book was steamy, sexy, sweet and a bit angsty and I really enjoyed it! Amanda Jenner, typically straight-laced paralegal, is tired of the boring men she usually attracts. Longing to find “the one” like her sister recently has, she sets out to learn the art of seduction so she can bag Mr. Right. After doing extensive research and primping, she decides a masquerade bar crawl is the perfect time to test out her new skills. She immediately attracts the attention of the tall, dark and handsome stranger across the bar, but just as things get hot and heavy between them, he breaks away. She soon finds out that the attractive stranger is none other than her handsome and up to now off limits boss, Mick Bad, whom she’s been pining over for the better part of three years. Mick has a strict no mixing business with pleasure rule but he can’t deny the fact that he’s also been harboring feelings for Amanda all this time as well. Once he gets a small taste of her, he realizes he needs more. Under the guise of helping to teach her the art of seduction, he offers her a sex-filled weekend, the only condition being that come Monday, they go back to their working relationship as if nothing ever happened. As the weekend wears on and the two begin to get closer, they both start to wonder how they’ll ever keep up their end of the bargain to forget everything come Monday!

I was amused and intrigued by Amanda with her Handbook and her quest when the book started. I may have had the thought “is this chick for real?” a time or two but as you learn more about her and what a hopeless romantic she is, it totally made sense and fit with her personality. I do love that it sort of became a running joke between her and Mick. Amanda may have thought that she was clueless in the art of seduction, but I think that she proved time and again that she was an expert, especially when she wasn’t trying so hard. She was a naturally caring and compassionate person and she demonstrated that time and again as she helped Mick deal with the demons that plagued him, even when he had no intentions of facing any of that.

For his part, Mick was a great hero! Tortured by guilt from his past, he’s kept himself closed off for nearly twenty years, not believing in love or happy endings. He didn’t think the risk was worth the reward so he’s sworn off relationships and instead sticks to random hookups. He’s had his eye on Amanda for three years though and finds it’s hard to control his feelings once he’s finally had a taste of her. Things happened fast in this book, but I liked the fact that these two had a three year history prior to the events of this book, so it wasn’t totally insta-love. It was great seeing her work her way through his walls. He didn’t make it easy on her and never promised her more than he could deliver, but it was clear he was falling for her. He was so sweet and attentive with her, I enjoyed their little game of pretending like he was teaching her about seduction, it was adorable and sexy. And Mick totally delivered one of the most swoon-worthy scenes ever towards the end of this book. I was grinning like a fool reading that part!

I really enjoyed this book, it was a quick and fun read, perfect for your summer reading list! I liked the little glimpses of the other Bad brothers that we got and I am very much looking forward to reading their stories! While I wait for Dylan’s book, I think I’ll take a look through Melissa’s other offerings and check out some of her other titles!

4.5 Stars from Brianna!

I love Melissa Foster. She can switch from naughty to sweet in the blink of an eye. And this new series just shows how talented she is when she puts the pen to the paper. This book right here might be the HOTTEST book I have ever read by her. Are you ready for Mick? Can you handle the heat? Warning... kindles steaming ahead.

Bad Boys After Dark series introduces us to four brothers bound together by love and loyalty. First on the chopping block is... Mick. The oldest and most responsible of the group. Hardened by his past, he doesn't believe in love or fairy tales. He doesn't want it but his little paralegal is going to show him love, passion, and so much more.

Enter Amanda. Sweet Amanda wants to break out of her shell and unleash her inner vixen. One random hook-up gives her the surprise of her life. And what was supposed to be one night turns into a passion-riddled weekend. Can she separate her heart from the lust she feels? Can she find more with Mick? Can she prove to him love is real?

Oh these two were amazing. Dear Lord I thought Mick was going to make my panties incinerate and my kindle melt into a puddle of goo. This book was so freaking hot and naughty... yeah make sure you don't read in public. And Amanda... man do I have a girl crush. The way she took risks and put herself out there... amazing!

I highly recommend this book.

4.5 Stars from Renee!

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, secrets, bad boys, and heartbreak.

This is Amanda and Mick’s story. Amanda is done with the boring men of the world. She is going to get herself all dressed up and grab a man at the masquerade bar crawl. Mick is all about the hookups. Not relationship material. He is going to find a hook up at the masquerade bar crawl. What happen when business mixes with pleasure? Can you go back to just business? Or was the pressure just too great to forget? Will a weekend of fun turn into more? Can the student become the teacher? Is Amanda about to teach Mick a few lessons he will never forget?

I loved these characters and also the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

“My whole life, I’ve been afraid of feeling, because I thought it could only lead to pain. But, it turns out I never knew what pain was, because I’d never loved anyone as wholly and deeply as I love you.”

Bad Boys After Dark: Mick is hot, sexy and and entertaining ride.

Told from dual points of view, Bad Boys After Dark: Mick follows the story of Mick and Amanda. Amanda has had the worst luck with men and wants nothing more to unleash her inner sexy vixen. However, she had no way of knowing that a masquerade party was going to turn her entire world upside down. You see, at this party, all is going according to plan. She meets someone she has amazing chemistry with, and they make plans to see one another again. The only problem is that when she meets up with the mystery man the next day, she discovers that he is in fact the object of her lust. Together the two of them decide to spend one unforgettable night together. Will Amanda finally get the man of her dreams or will their time together prove to be too hot to handle.

Bad Boys After Dark: Mick was an exciting, but quick read. I was drawn to the characters from the very beginning. I liked Mick and Amanda right away. The sparks between the two of them was intense and you could tell right away that one night between the two of them was never going to be enough. I loved how Amanda opened up Mick’s eyes and made him see that he was worthy and that he deserved to be loved and in a relationship. I enjoyed how Amanda made his possessive, alpha side come to play. And Amanda, I appreciated her wanting to learn to seduce a man. I found it entertaining and humorous at times, but I thought that quality about her made her more relateable. I liked how real she felt and I loved how Mick showed her that she deserved to be cherished and respected; that she deserved more than just one night with a man. These two entered each other’s lives at just the right time!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was sexy and sweet, with some delicious steamy and swoon worthy moments. It had just the right amount of drama. If you’re looking for a quick,enjoyable summer read, I think this one will hit the spot. This series is off to a great start and I can not wait to dive into the next Bad Boys After Dark book!

Melissa Foster brings sexy back with the Bad Boys…first off Mick Bad. Dark, Naughty describes him perfectly, but don’t forget he has a soft, fun side.

Mick Bad is a pantie melting hero that just reaches in and captures your heart. Mick has had his share of heart breaking moments in his life, but nothing prepared him to feel the same great loss as he did when he lost his sister at a young age. Now with all the cards out on the table, can Mick believe in Love again or is it to late?

Amanda is unsure of her sexual chemistry, always playing it safe Amanda wants one night of un-bridal passion. Amanda is about to get that and more…Hold onto to your skirts girls Mick Bad is in town. Will Amanda be able to drive the thought of the man who stars in her desires out of her system?

Mick and Amanda are strong characters on their own , but together they burn up the pages. I could not possibly get enough of Bad Boys After Dark: Mick Bad. They share passion without a doubt, but the emotion that they both bring to the story is what captured my heart. Mick is unsure of himself and Amanda’s belief in him play a heart felt war. I am rooting for Amanda’s team.

Family and friends make up the supporting characters, they add a spark to the plot, but never out shine Mick & Amanda. I can’t wait to see the other Bad’s fall under the spell of love. It was a sweet addition Melissa Foster add in the end. “Sister Power!”

Melissa Foster created yet another amazing series AFTER DARK (Wild Boys, Bad Boys, Nice Girls) Mick & Amanda are up first and let me say they are sexy, sweet characters that will have you cheering for them before the book ends. The plot is a heartfelt romance with a huge punch of passion. You can get Ally {Amanda’s Sister} and Heath’s story in Melissa Foster’s Wild Boys After Dark series.

Bad Boys After Dark has most certainly gotten off to an excellent start. Just relax and enjoy because this was only the first of the four brothers to grace us with his story. Mick was only the first. This alpha male has his mind set on making a grand seduction for one night of utter pleasure. Oh yes, a wake-up call he gets. In the form of Amanda Jenner. She has been a picture of seduction waiting to happen for years, but Mick does not mix business with pleasure ever. Or so his has to take that notion back in hand when he offers Amanda a weekend of complete and ultimate pleasure. On Monday, things will all return to normal. Business as usual. Take that for the breathe of air it was uttered on.

HOT. STEAMY. DELICIOUS. Thank you Melissa after this hot, sweaty, sultry read. I will be needing a cold show, stiff drinks, and maybe a cigarette.

******** Gifted copy ****************

A little bit of anonymity goes a long way, at least that’s what the heroine, Amanda, in Bad Boys: Mick thinks. Low and behold, she’s wrong and before she accomplishes what she set out to do, Amanda finds herself in the place she’d never thought she’d be, in Mick Bad’s arms.

This was a fast paced sexy read with a ton of heart. Shorter than my last book, this author took me quickly out of my book funk I was embarking on in a New York second. This story’s plot surprised me completely as I didn’t envision the story to draw enough emotion for my eyes to leak. I was seriously vested in the hot, steamy scenes. Then, boom, boy was I wrong! Mick’s story just got me tied up in knots. Throughout the story, I loved how outrageously strong Mick is and damn is he sexy. Yes ladies, you will want a little piece of Mr. Bad too. No need to fight though, Mick has brothers...Lol! Yes, I can see me being very one-click happy with this author’s books.

Here’s the kicker with this book, the author did not overtly state the fact of Mick’s wealth. This was uber refreshing. She made Mick the right amount of complicated and broken with a soft underbelly. That she chose, Amanda, to seem demure and yet have an inner steel in order to restrain and soothe Mick, absolute gold.

This was my first read from this author and it was hella hot and full of deliciousness. No doubt, I will be looking out for all the Bad Boys and any other characters this author pens.

5 Hot Stars for me.

Although neither is aware of the other’s interest, Amanda and Nick have been longing after each other for three years. Nick Bad never mixes business with pleasure, so he steers clear of his attractive paralegal. Amanda is tired of always doing the right thing. Understanding she can never have the one she wants, she decides to bring out her wild side with a stranger. She wants to feel sexy, like a vixen and, for once, do something exciting and forbidden.

Nick had had a rough week and just wanted to relax. His choice of technique? Sex. And who better with than a stranger who want be able to make demands on him because she’ll have no idea who he really is. After more than a kiss, but less than all-out sex, Nick discovers that his mystery woman -whom he met at a masquerade bar crawl – is none other than the one he’s been lusting over. He stops in the middle of the action, leaving her baffled.

This cute-meet was some kind of sexy, and was the perfect opening to the story. I latched on to these two and anticipated their actions. The characters are well-developed, and the pace fluctuated between fast and steady in a perfect combination.

At times, I wanted Amanda to back off and let him do the chasing, but at the same time, I understood her determination. She wanted him, and she went after him. I had to admire her for that. Mick was suffering inside, and she broke through his walls, not only with her determination, but with her understanding. I enjoyed the secondary characters. They blended into the story without overshadowing, but leaving enough of an impression to want to follow up with them later.

If you thought the Wild Boys were hot, wait until you meet the Bad Boys!!

Mick Bad is a sinfully hot entertainment lawyer with a past that makes him not believe in love. He lives by two hard and fast rules. He never mixes business with pleasure, and he doesn't do relationships. Amanda Jenner is his paralegal and off-limits. She decides to spice up her life a bit and try to seduce a man. She's tired of the boring guys she usually ends up with. She finds the perfect man at a masquerade bar crawl and after a steamy encounter in the bathroom, she finds out it's her off-limits boss. They have both been secretly pining for each other for the last 3 years. Mick decides to give Amanda a night of no-strings, hot sex, which turns into a full weekend out of town together. Can they keep it no-strings and go back to work on Monday pretending nothing happened? You will have to read and find out.

Mick will melt your panties with his dirty talking and make your heart flutter with his romantic side. He's devoted to his 3 younger brothers and also suffering from a heart breaking past. Amanda is strong, smart, beautiful and a great paralegal. She brings out the softer side of Mick, even as he keeps trying to deny his feelings for her.

I love Melissa Foster's books. The Wild Boys showed us the naughtier side and the Bad Boys keep it going. If you like a little more spice in your romance, then this is the book for you along with the Wild Boys. Looking forward to the next installment of the Bad Boys!!

SIZZLING! As the first book in the Bad Boys series, this was first foray into Melissa Foster’s “After Dark” world, and it will NOT be my last. She writes her characters with such a realness to them. You can feel their emotions as you read, you find yourself smiling when they interact, and you can feel the tension as they go through the ups and downs of figuring out what they are to each other. Looking forward to reading the rest of the Bad brother’s stories!

Paralegal Amanda Jenner is bored! She’s tired of being the good girl and putting up with the boring men that she seems to draw like a magnet. She wants more … she wants hot sex! She’s dolled up and ready to try out her new vixen moves at a masquerade bar crawl!

Entertainment attorney Mick Bad is having a bad week and just wants to unwind with a hot woman! He sees a sexy blonde across the room and decides he has to have her. After partly ravishing her at the party, Mick sees something that clues him in to the fact that the woman in his arms is his employee!

Amanda has been crushing on Mick for three years, but he never mixes business with pleasure and is nothing but professional with her … until now! After realizing who each other is, they agree to have a very short term fling since they’ve already been this far with each other. Will Amanda be the person that can tear down the barriers Mick’s past has made him erect around himself?

A super-hot and sexy read from Melissa Foster! She’s on the top of my list of favorite authors so I didn’t read the synopsis or teaser blurbs for this one—preferring to just go into the story blind. And WOW!! I had a “WHAT!” moment in the beginning. (I love those!) This book definitely does NOT disappoint!

Unknowingly, Mick and Amanda have an ongoing mutual attraction that they try and deny themselves, until one eventful evening. And then…game on! And Mick Bad is BAD. Wow. So Bad!! The book goes through a weekend agreement of hot, naughty sex and open honesty-bringing them closer together in all areas. When the weekend is done, so is the sex. (Brilliant writing, by the way!! A hook-up IS a hook-up after all!) I loved how Mick struggles at playing along with their agreement but still had the playful banter thing going on. They feed off of each other in the most perfect way-and in more ways than one. I loved the honesty between the characters even as they struggled to be honest with themselves. They need each other, but can they help each other move on and accept that they belong together? I wasn’t ready for the weekend to be over and had a smidge of disappointment. It didn’t last long though, the story shifts to a more romantic story line—which Melissa rocks—and you’ll LOVE!!

I received and arc in exchange for an honest review. I gave this book 4 stars because while it was a hot sexy read, I felt it kind of lacked urgency.

Mick and Amanda. Amanda and Mick. Good girl and very, very bad boy. Could there be more than an office fling or behind-the-scenes-teaching going on in this story? With Melissa Foster behind the words, you know there's going to be love, lust, emotion, and a happy ending.

I cannot tell you how many Melissa Foster books I've read. I'm probably around the couple dozen mark, if not more. I've read the entire Sisters in Love Series and the Wild Boys After Dark Series. What I can tell you is that Melissa writes knock you off your rocker love stories. This new series, Bad Boys After Dark, isn't as soft and sweet as the other books, but man all the passion and desire are right there on the pages.

Since it's a storyline off the beaten path, it did take me a few chapters to get a read on this one and I'm so glad I took the time to read it. Devour it is more like it. Man, I loved this story between Amanda and Mick and I enjoyed watching it unfold. Each layer held something different and I really liked that Mick had this other side that we didn't see, but that Amanda was able to uncover.

Another great book from Melissa Foster and I cannot wait for Dylan's story!

First and foremost, this book is super explicit and totally recommended towards readers ages 18 and up… Now, on to the review… You guys… Mick is hot.. Holy crap!! Amanda sets out on an adventure to become a seductress, while trying to find the right man for her, one that isn’t boring in her opinion, and the first night she goes to a bar, she finds a guy, but since it’s a masquerade thing, she doesn’t know who he is. Things get rather heated in the bathroom of the club they are at, yet once he sees her hand, and these freckles on her hand, he instantly knows who she is, even though she is wearing a wig and says her name is Lola. He stops everything there, asking her to meet him the next night at a different club. Once SHE figured out who he was, she was kind of embarrassed. Mick is Amanda’s boss. She’s pined for and wanted him since she started working at his law firm, but unbeknownst to her, he’s wanted her as well. I thought this was a very good book. The sex scenes will leave you panting and sweating, and the non sex scenes will have you drawn in completely too. I can’t wait to read the rest of the Bad Boy series by Melissa Foster!!!

Looking for a little spice in her life, safe Amanda plans to practice the art of seduction at a bar crawl during masquerade night. Practicing the skills that she learned from book, she lands her target. This man is delicious and knows what he’s doing and she feels like the goddess that wants to be.

Mick, who is not the relationship kind, is fascinated with this innocently hot temptress that is eyeing him at the bar crawl and he must have her. It’s not until he discovers that it’s his paralegal Amanda, that he is conflicted. Asking to meet the masked beauty another day, their adventure begins.

Amanda and Mick indulge themselves in a forbidden weekend, which is to be forgotten when they both go into work on Monday, terms of their weekend continue to change throughout the weekend. Amanda learns to better the art of seduction, while Mick learns more about this goddess and himself.

There’s something about forbidden fruit, that makes it that much more tempting and sweeter to indulge in. The ending chapters of this story was definitely unexpected for me and I had tears. A great start to the Bad Boys series.

This is not your typical office romance! Mick is a successful entertainment lawyer and Amanda is his assistant. When their paths cross at a masquerade event at a local bar, and lines are crossed, things can't ever be the same...

Amanda is a beautiful and intelligent paralegal who believes in happily ever after and wants to find a man who makes feel sexy. Shedding her conservative ways, she starts to follow a book and sets out to seduce a man, pretending she is someone else. Seems easy enough...until it leads to a weekend that will change her life forever.

Mick has no problem with women, but has no desire to keep one as his own. Love can lead to pain and loss and he has had enough of that in his life. A stressful time at works means he needs to blow off steam so off to a local bar he goes to find a woman to make him forget for a short while. Little does he know the woman he meets is difficult to let go and he can't resist an entire weekend of hot sex and pushing boundaries.

I found this book to be extremely sexy, funny and loved every minute of it!

Review by Cara

Sometime last year, I read Wild Boys: Heath, and we actually met Mick Bad and Amanda Jenner. Now Amanda is Ally's older sister. She's always responsible and never has a wild bone, but she finally decided to find her inner temptress. By the way, never goes according to plan. Anyway, she's doing this to clear her mind of the completely offlimits Mick Bad. Funny thing Mick has the same feelings for Amanda, but he doesn't seem good enough for her.

All right, Bad Boys: Mick needs to come with a cold shower warning.Now if you are not into hot steamy scenes, you might want to pass this book. However, if a little steam never bother you, Bad Boys: Mick might be your kind of read. Mick is uber sexy and his time with Amanda is fun. I like that you actually get an understanding how the tragic event effect him, and his fear to find love. He believes love is a fantasy, while Amanda believes that love is something to find and cherish.Overall, a pretty good read. I only wish it was a little longer, but in the long run it was a statisfying read.

Oh.My.God!

Deliciously sexy, heart pounding, toe curling escapism in another fantastic erotic novel from Melissa Foster. I've been a fan of Melissa's from the first page of the Harborside Nights series. Her books are always hot with the depth and feeling you want from any novel but in this series however Melissa has cranked up the heat, cranked up the language and sex oozes from the pages.

I read this book in two sittings, only because life got in the way ha ha! I couldn't put it down. What I really loved in this book was that consent, which has been an issue for me in other popular erotic novels, is addressed fully. Everything that happens, happens between two consenting adults who through exploring each other are also finding themselves.

I loved the setting of the novel, I could almost hear the leaves of the trees rustling as Mick and Amanda arrived in their little paradise. He's rich and powerful, she's shy but sizzling, it's fantasy in every aspect. Beautiful people, in beautiful locations, experiencing beautiful pleasure. I found it to be wonderful escapism from every day hum drum and even my husband enjoyed the . . erm . . . effects of the book *blush*

I never put spoilers in my reviews as I think it detracts from the reading experience but I'm almost certain this book will have you breathless with antici . . . .pation!

I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.

This book was hot & steamy from the very first page & told between Amanda’s & Mick’s pov. Amanda is sweet but socially awkward when trying to come on to men that have you cheering for her enthusiastically.

Could not put this book down! Cannot wait to read the next book

Amanda is a shy, smart paralegal woman by day but there is a inner vixen in her that is dying to come out & she is finally willing to take control & see if she can seduce the type of men she’s looking for.

Mick Bad is Amanda’s boss, a sexy attorney, who she’s lusted over since she’s worked for him but he’s never mixed business with pleasure & he doesn’t do relationships.

Full of lusty, tremendous heat, and good humor; I was in hysterics as she was holding the handbook!

A night out at a masquerade ball & Amanda is thrilled to be making out with a tall, dark masked man.... Only to be mortified its him, Mr. Alpha, Mick Bad! -read by RazzReader with Pop Fizz Clink Read

I'm loving these sexier books that started with the Wild brothers and now continues with their Bad friends! Mick doesn't think he's relationship material, and is looking for a distraction to get his mind of a tough week. Amanda is tired of being a boring guy magnet and is at a masquerade bar crawl trying out her new seduction techniques. The attraction is instant between the two, but he stops when he realizes that the sexy vixen is actually is buttoned up paralegal. Amanda is a mix of innocent and sexy that drives Mick wild, and it doesn't help that he's wanted her for the last three years. She's been half in love with him for the same time, so it's no surprise that their weekend of no strings attached sex feels like so much more right from the start. This was a fun, sexy, romantic and quick paced story that I highly recommend!
4.5 stars!

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.

Melissa Foster wrote another amazing Bad Boys After Dark Book. I have been waiting for Mick's story as he popped up in the other bad boy stories. Amanda and Mick work together as Mick's law firm. Amanda wants to take a step on the wild side and be a little less predictable. Amanda heads out to a bar crawl where she run's into a masked Mick. Mick who is looking for a one night stand figures out it is Amanda by her freckles. He leaves her high and dry but a promise to meet up the next day. Mick is determined to not fall for Amanda but show her a good time and get her out of his system. However getting her out of his system may not be as easy as he thinks. Amanda has been interested in Mick for quite some time but is determined to not fall for him but to just have a good time.

This is the first book in the second set of Bad Boys After Dark. The book can be read as a stand alone but I am sure you will want to read more of Melissa's books after just reading one!!

Amanda Jenner is tired of attracting boring men. Why she chose to have an attraction with someone forbidden as her boss, she has no idea. But she’s desperate to explore her sexuality and release the inner vixen in her so she’s done one thing she never thought she would do: be somebody she’s not and finally seduce a man. Armed with a new hair, tricks that she researched to execute the plan and confidence of a new woman, she believed everything’s going smoothly. Only, she didn’t know her plan would backfire. And it’s going to consume her.

You know I’m a huge fan of Melissa Foster’s books and I plan on reading allll her books—or maybe not F/F and M/M, but you get the point. And even when this book looked like it’s a BDSM kind of story which I thought at the beginning, I’m so glad that I took a risk and gave Mick Bad a chance. (About the BDSM thing, it’s so not!)

Bad Boys After Dark: Mick is seduction at its finest. Just from the first few pages alone, I was pulled right into a seductive, hot and consuming atmosphere! Melissa has set the tone of the story perfectly that it was complete with mystery, attraction and thrill!

Being a sucker of office romances, I have expectations as this one falls under the same sub-genre. This one’s different though. While the story revolved around Amanda and her quest to attract and hopefully bang a hot guy, it also focused on Mick’s issues—his family, his sister. It’s not just because they’re boss-employee but also because Amanda believes in happy ever afters and Mick… basically doesn’t. Yeah, that kind of complicated.

The first half of the book set quite an expectation so the sudden turnaround of events was quite a let down. It wasn’t that bad, it’s just that it seemed rushed and I was hoping both of them would remain a mystery to each other. Or at least one of them would. I didn’t expect the timeline as well. I mean, both of them agreed to bang each other just for two days and after that they knew they loved each other—right away? Their 3-years worth of attraction seemed to be a good history to know but not when you spend only two days with that person. Also, I was disheartened by our MC changing to someone she’s not just to attract men. Why this of all complications? To think she’s a freaking paralegal! She’s supposed to be strong. There's too much use of "baby", too, by Mick that it got annoying.

My bummed-out self rejoiced though when I got punched in the feels with an absofreakinglutely heartwarming ending I didn’t see coming! My. Gosh! I loved it so much!!! I’m not sure how Amanda handled all those feels on her own. I wouldn’t be shocked if she just melted or something.

Overall, I liked this book but not as much as I did with the previous books I read from her. But since this is a well-written romance with a light drama and a whole lot of tension and sexy times, I’d definitely recommend it! Especially to Melissa’s fans!

Wow! Melissa Foster might just be a must read for me after "Bad Boys After Dark"!!! A classic Forbidden Fruit, Love at First Sight, Teach Me the Art of Seduction Office Romance "Bad Boys After Dark: Mick" is incredibly erotic, fiery, and some how also very sweet. The Heroine, Amanda Jenner, is the "always does the right thing type woman who is a hard working paralegal. She dates respectable doctors, lawyers and the usual corporate types that are about as exciting as dating drying paint. What she wants is true, sweep you off your feet, he's "The One" Love. So she's bought a How To Seduction instruction manual and has plans to set out to get the ball rolling. The Hero, Mick Bad, is a high powered attorney chased by demons from his past which has convinced him that a.) there is no such thing as Happily Ever After or True Love and b.) he doesn't deserve to be happy and no woman deserves to end up with him. So he's sworn off relationships completely - he doesn't believe in them. Amanda has worked at the same firm as Mick for three years and for all of those years she has carried a torch for him, but he has been oblivious to her except when he expresses his disapproval whenever she dresses "inappropriately". Little does Amanda know that Mick has been completely aware of her since the moment she began work there. His disapproval of her attire is not because he doesn't like her clothing choices but because he doesn't want any other man to appreciate her "charms". It's a chance meeting at a night club while both are "in disguise" which leads to a breaking of one of Mick's personal rules which he does in order to "help" Amanda learn the Art of Seduction. An agreement with a deadline and a stipulation that everything is "reset" when Monday comes around. The characters undergo a lot of personal growth as well as mental growth. There is a boatload of steamy and risqué sexiness which happens due to the fact that these characters cannot keep their hands off each other. There is some classic movie romance references, fighting of feelings, and revealing of secrets.
The end of "Bad Boys After Dark: Mick" was amazingly and perfectly romantic - slightly cheesy but fabulous!!! The main characters are absolutely wonderful and they grow more and more lovable as the book moves along. Melissa Foster's sex scenes are muy caliente and are plentiful the bonus is that they do not come across as repetitive! This is a wonderful kick-off to the Bad Boys After Dark series and I have no objections to reading the rest of the installments!

A beautiful romance of girl determined to get hard to get guy. Amanda has been obsessed with her boss for 3 years. She has always been the straight laced girl meeting boring men not wanting to settle for whatever. The one man she wants she knows she can never have, her boss Mick Bad, lawyer. Amanda embracing a book about being a temptress and goes to a costume party only to meet Mick unbeknownst to her. They have an interlude and despite the circumstances she agrees to a weekend away with the stranger. What follows is intriguing and gut wrenching not just for Amanda but also for Mick. Mick learns a lot about Amanda and himself in the process. Melissa's writing style flows well. I found myself wanting Mick to desperately get over his past and his fears to see what is right in front of him. I enjoyed the book.

Review by Ann

Mick is an entertainment lawyer. Amanda is his paralegal. Amanda decides she needs to spice up her love life and after reading a book, thinks she knows what she needs to do. After meeting a mysterious man on her first bar crawl and having a hot and heavy encounter in the bathroom, she agrees to meet up with him again the next night. Little does she know, it's Mick.

Mick realizes it's Amanda, his sexy paralegal, after her second orgasm. And he wants more. He can't give Amanda everything she wants (romance and a relationship) but he can teach her what she wants from a man.

After promising her just a weekend, can Mick walk away from the woman who has turned him inside out for the past 3 years? Can Amanda turn her new-found sex kitten traits to another man? Will he just let her walk away or will they find their happily ever after in each others arms?

Find out in Melissa Fosters latest and greatest Bad Boys After Dark: Mick.

Ultimate Pleasure, that's how I would describe this book. Oh my!! Be prepared to have your breath taken away (as long as your 18+).

Amanda has revised her seduction bible ''Release Your Hidden Temptress Handbook' so much that she has now gone from theory to red hot practice at a masquerade bar crawl with the aim to attract exciting men into her life, one night at a time. And so the temptress game begins, she soon singles out Mr Hot, who by the way has had plenty of pleasurable experience, and they take their love dance elsewhere until he suddenly stops and arranges a meet up the next day but why? She soon finds out that her delicious Mr Hot is her boss Mick, both have had serious hots for each other for so long without the other knowing. Now the truth is out Mick offers to give her the hard pleasure she craves while keeping her safe so no harm comes to her, with a 'no strings attached' for 'one night only' offer then back to the office Monday. Seems a fair offer ;-)

Let's just say that those amazing chapters were quickly read, making my heart pump that bit faster, I couldn't wait to get back to my, I mean Amanda's sexy training! BUT to tease us even more the 'one night only' turns into a whole weekend as Mick offers to also show her the real ways to seduce a man while staying out of danger, for the girl he cares so much about. More sensational hot reading to be had!

There's two sides to this instant hot blooded man, he is smooth, caring, gentle and affectionate yet can melt a women's heart in an instant as the words slide off his delicious tongue and let's not even get to the spine tingling bits. I was totally in awe and in parts I totally forgot I was actually reading. With a lifetime of hurt and sadness, no longer believing in love, switching back to reality on Monday is no problem for Mick, is it? And what about Amanda, when Monday comes can she really go back to her dull, loveless life after such a fantasy?

This has been an unmissable serving of strong tasting Love Pie and I am now holding my breath for the next one. I've got to say that Melissa writing the 'Release Your Hidden Temptress Handbook' would be an absolutely amazing addition and so much fun!

One would think Melissa Foster's books couldn't get sexier or hotter. She just accomplished both with The After Dark Series! Mick is Amanda's dream boyfriend problem is, he is her boss. Never did Amanda think the boyfriend title with Mick would come to reality. She didn't think Mick even noticed her in the office. One night she stepped out of her good girl comfort zone and went to a masquerade bar crawl where she had an encounter with Mick. Mick recognized her by her freckles of all things. He backed away at the bar and then the pursuit of Amanda begun... I could not put the book down. Sad when it came to an end. You just want Melissa's books to go on and on. Can't wait to read about the next Bad brother.

I have since listened to the audible version of the book and OMG- don't listen to it in a public place since drooling does not look good on anyone :) Listening to the book gave an entirely different perspective to reading the book! Enjoy

This is the first book in the second set of Bad Boys After Dark. The book can be read as a stand alone but I am sure you will want to read more of Melissa's books after just reading one!!

Amanda Jenner is tired of attracting boring men. Why she chose to have an attraction with someone forbidden as her boss, she has no idea. But she’s desperate to explore her sexuality and release the inner vixen in her so she’s done one thing she never thought she would do: be somebody she’s not and finally seduce a man. Armed with a new hair, tricks that she researched to execute the plan and confidence of a new woman, she believed everything’s going smoothly. Only, she didn’t know her plan would backfire. And it’s going to consume her.

You know I’m a huge fan of Melissa Foster’s books and I plan on reading allll her books—or maybe not F/F and M/M, but you get the point. And even when this book looked like it’s a BDSM kind of story which I thought at the beginning, I’m so glad that I took a risk and gave Mick Bad a chance. (About the BDSM thing, it’s so not!)

Bad Boys After Dark: Mick is seduction at its finest. Just from the first few pages alone, I was pulled right into a seductive, hot and consuming atmosphere! Melissa has set the tone of the story perfectly that it was complete with mystery, attraction and thrill!

Being a sucker of office romances, I have expectations as this one falls under the same sub-genre. This one’s different though. While the story revolved around Amanda and her quest to attract and hopefully bang a hot guy, it also focused on Mick’s issues—his family, his sister. It’s not just because they’re boss-employee but also because Amanda believes in happy ever afters and Mick… basically doesn’t. Yeah, that kind of complicated.

The first half of the book set quite an expectation so the sudden turnaround of events was quite a let down. It wasn’t that bad, it’s just that it seemed rushed and I was hoping both of them would remain a mystery to each other. Or at least one of them would. I didn’t expect the timeline as well. I mean, both of them agreed to bang each other just for two days and after that they knew they loved each other—right away? Their 3-years worth of attraction seemed to be a good history to know but not when you spend only two days with that person. Also, I was disheartened by our MC changing to someone she’s not just to attract men. Why this of all complications? To think she’s a freaking paralegal! She’s supposed to be strong. There's too much use of "baby", too, by Mick that it got annoying.

My bummed-out self rejoiced though when I got punched in the feels with an absofreakinglutely heartwarming ending I didn’t see coming! My. Gosh! I loved it so much!!! I’m not sure how Amanda handled all those feels on her own. I wouldn’t be shocked if she just melted or something.

Overall, I liked this book but not as much as I did with the previous books I read from her. But since this is a well-written romance with a light drama and a whole lot of tension and sexy times, I’d definitely recommend it! Especially to Melissa’s fans!

Wow! Melissa Foster might just be a must read for me after "Bad Boys After Dark"!!! A classic Forbidden Fruit, Love at First Sight, Teach Me the Art of Seduction Office Romance "Bad Boys After Dark: Mick" is incredibly erotic, fiery, and some how also very sweet. The Heroine, Amanda Jenner, is the "always does the right thing type woman who is a hard working paralegal. She dates respectable doctors, lawyers and the usual corporate types that are about as exciting as dating drying paint. What she wants is true, sweep you off your feet, he's "The One" Love. So she's bought a How To Seduction instruction manual and has plans to set out to get the ball rolling. The Hero, Mick Bad, is a high powered attorney chased by demons from his past which has convinced him that a.) there is no such thing as Happily Ever After or True Love and b.) he doesn't deserve to be happy and no woman deserves to end up with him. So he's sworn off relationships completely - he doesn't believe in them. Amanda has worked at the same firm as Mick for three years and for all of those years she has carried a torch for him, but he has been oblivious to her except when he expresses his disapproval whenever she dresses "inappropriately". Little does Amanda know that Mick has been completely aware of her since the moment she began work there. His disapproval of her attire is not because he doesn't like her clothing choices but because he doesn't want any other man to appreciate her "charms". It's a chance meeting at a night club while both are "in disguise" which leads to a breaking of one of Mick's personal rules which he does in order to "help" Amanda learn the Art of Seduction. An agreement with a deadline and a stipulation that everything is "reset" when Monday comes around. The characters undergo a lot of personal growth as well as mental growth. There is a boatload of steamy and risqué sexiness which happens due to the fact that these characters cannot keep their hands off each other. There is some classic movie romance references, fighting of feelings, and revealing of secrets.
The end of "Bad Boys After Dark: Mick" was amazingly and perfectly romantic - slightly cheesy but fabulous!!! The main characters are absolutely wonderful and they grow more and more lovable as the book moves along. Melissa Foster's sex scenes are muy caliente and are plentiful the bonus is that they do not come across as repetitive! This is a wonderful kick-off to the Bad Boys After Dark series and I have no objections to reading the rest of the installments!

A beautiful romance of girl determined to get hard to get guy. Amanda has been obsessed with her boss for 3 years. She has always been the straight laced girl meeting boring men not wanting to settle for whatever. The one man she wants she knows she can never have, her boss Mick Bad, lawyer. Amanda embracing a book about being a temptress and goes to a costume party only to meet Mick unbeknownst to her. They have an interlude and despite the circumstances she agrees to a weekend away with the stranger. What follows is intriguing and gut wrenching not just for Amanda but also for Mick. Mick learns a lot about Amanda and himself in the process. Melissa's writing style flows well. I found myself wanting Mick to desperately get over his past and his fears to see what is right in front of him. I enjoyed the book.

Review by Ann

Mick is an entertainment lawyer. Amanda is his paralegal. Amanda decides she needs to spice up her love life and after reading a book, thinks she knows what she needs to do. After meeting a mysterious man on her first bar crawl and having a hot and heavy encounter in the bathroom, she agrees to meet up with him again the next night. Little does she know, it's Mick.

Mick realizes it's Amanda, his sexy paralegal, after her second orgasm. And he wants more. He can't give Amanda everything she wants (romance and a relationship) but he can teach her what she wants from a man.

After promising her just a weekend, can Mick walk away from the woman who has turned him inside out for the past 3 years? Can Amanda turn her new-found sex kitten traits to another man? Will he just let her walk away or will they find their happily ever after in each others arms?

Find out in Melissa Fosters latest and greatest Bad Boys After Dark: Mick.

Ultimate Pleasure, that's how I would describe this book. Oh my!! Be prepared to have your breath taken away (as long as your 18+).

Amanda has revised her seduction bible ''Release Your Hidden Temptress Handbook' so much that she has now gone from theory to red hot practice at a masquerade bar crawl with the aim to attract exciting men into her life, one night at a time. And so the temptress game begins, she soon singles out Mr Hot, who by the way has had plenty of pleasurable experience, and they take their love dance elsewhere until he suddenly stops and arranges a meet up the next day but why? She soon finds out that her delicious Mr Hot is her boss Mick, both have had serious hots for each other for so long without the other knowing. Now the truth is out Mick offers to give her the hard pleasure she craves while keeping her safe so no harm comes to her, with a 'no strings attached' for 'one night only' offer then back to the office Monday. Seems a fair offer ;-)

Let's just say that those amazing chapters were quickly read, making my heart pump that bit faster, I couldn't wait to get back to my, I mean Amanda's sexy training! BUT to tease us even more the 'one night only' turns into a whole weekend as Mick offers to also show her the real ways to seduce a man while staying out of danger, for the girl he cares so much about. More sensational hot reading to be had!

There's two sides to this instant hot blooded man, he is smooth, caring, gentle and affectionate yet can melt a women's heart in an instant as the words slide off his delicious tongue and let's not even get to the spine tingling bits. I was totally in awe and in parts I totally forgot I was actually reading. With a lifetime of hurt and sadness, no longer believing in love, switching back to reality on Monday is no problem for Mick, is it? And what about Amanda, when Monday comes can she really go back to her dull, loveless life after such a fantasy?

This has been an unmissable serving of strong tasting Love Pie and I am now holding my breath for the next one. I've got to say that Melissa writing the 'Release Your Hidden Temptress Handbook' would be an absolutely amazing addition and so much fun!

One would think Melissa Foster's books couldn't get sexier or hotter. She just accomplished both with The After Dark Series! Mick is Amanda's dream boyfriend problem is, he is her boss. Never did Amanda think the boyfriend title with Mick would come to reality. She didn't think Mick even noticed her in the office. One night she stepped out of her good girl comfort zone and went to a masquerade bar crawl where she had an encounter with Mick. Mick recognized her by her freckles of all things. He backed away at the bar and then the pursuit of Amanda begun... I could not put the book down. Sad when it came to an end. You just want Melissa's books to go on and on. Can't wait to read about the next Bad brother.

I have since listened to the audible version of the book and OMG- don't listen to it in a public place since drooling does not look good on anyone :) Listening to the book gave an entirely different perspective to reading the book! Enjoy

Let me skip over the “bad boy after dark” part and focus on the emotion in this book just for a moment.

Mick’s story will bring tears to your eyes. It is heart wrenching and emotional.

The connection between Amanda and Mick is something indescribable – different than what we have read from the other couples before. The things he notices? Seriously!? Are there really men out there who are that romantic and senstive and sweet?

There is more emotion to this story than just the steamy-ness.

The book does not disappoint in the steamy department. The physical relationship between Mick and Amanda is intense, but loving. They make an amazing pair and their story is full of heat and emotions.

It was also great to run into some past characters such as Willow and Louie, from previous stories!

While I don’t recommend this for kids – it definitely is a great mommy time book!

Melissa Foster delivered yet another devilishly good romance novel. Mick is an attorney in NYC and never really made an effort to sustain a long term relationship. He's the quintessential hard to get bad boy (with a kick ass job). For some reason the classic "good" girl always wants the bad boy. Amanda Jenner fits into this mold-almost to a T.

Amanda wants to take her life and turn it upside-down. She has been pining after her boss for as long as she can remember and has finally decided enough is enough. To change her fate, she studied how to seduce a man (which made me laugh quite frequenlty). She sets out to try her new skills at Masquerade ball and then everything goes to hell in a hand basket.

My favorite part of this book, is when she realizes exactly who her mystery man is, and the ultra flustered way she responds.

I received a promotional copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

HOT! HOT! HOT! I love Mick and Amanda's story!! Amanda is following the advice in "The Handbook", she is on the prowl during a MASQUERADE bar crawl. Her mission-to release her inner temptress, take charge of her sexuality, and seduce a great guy-someone like her boss. She has been secretly in love with her boss for the last 3 years. In walks Mick, and rescues Amanda from a jerk of a guy who thinks he is God's gift. They proceed to hit the bathroom for some a steamy make out session and just before it goes further- Mick stops. He recognizes Amanda by 3 freckles on her neck. Freckles he has been staring at and lusting after for the last 3 years. Amanda doesn't understand why Mick has stopped their hot tryst, but they agree to meet the following night. What will Amanda do when they meet the following night and she realizes who Mick is? Will Mick and Amanda be able to have a one night stand and be done with each other? I couldn't put this book down-read it all in one sitting!! Melissa Foster rocks it again!! You won't be disappointed!!
