Summary: 

Discover your inner bad girl, and set her free…

Heather Pierce is done being a wallflower, bother personally and professionally. Desperate to live a different life for one night, she attends a speed dating event. Maybe here, she can become someone new. When a man way out of her league sits across from her, Heather gathers her courage and takes charge of what she wants, secretly fearing he won’t desire the real person she’s desperate to hide.

Top acquisitions officer and international playboy Tony Carmine is about to close the biggest deal of his career. But when he meets Heather at a speed dating event…and discovers losing control may be exactly what he needs. Her blossoming sensuality occupies his every thought, consuming him with the need to possess the most intriguing lover he’s ever encountered – until he walks into the boardroom and sees Heather on the other side of the negotiating table.

My Thoughts:

Oh my goodness, I don’t think have it in me to be as forward as Heather but good for her! She’s fed up with being shy and timid and decides to grab the bull by the ______ (<= I’ll let you fill in the blank here….and it’s not ‘horns’) and get what she wants. And boy does she ever!! This is a spicy read and a great choice to warm you up on these chilly Spring mornings!

Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5

The Right Wrong Number by Barbara Delinsky

Summary:

Carly Kelly has just been presented with a life-changing business opportunity for tiny nursery and flower store, Plant People. But she only has four days to decide, which means she will most likely have to cancel her weekend trip away. She dials her friends to let them know, and excitedly launches into a speech about the opportunity. But when she pauses, a sexy, inquisitive stranger is on the other end, and he’s eager to hear about her store, her passions and her life. She’s dialed the wrong number---and the man on the other end, with his deep voice, his charming jokes and his excellent advice, is a surprise she never expected…

Will this wrong number turn out to be the right man for Carly?

My Thoughts: 

Normally with wrong numbers you awkwardly apologize or just hang up and act like it never happened…after all you don’t know the person you called! But what if you don’t realize it’s a wrong number until you’ve already blabbed a whole story?

I preordered this free short story and then read it right away once it released. It’s very sweet and even though it ended all too soon I still loved the connection between Carly and …the voice at the other end of the phone. I will be adding this one to my Lunch Room Reads tab!

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
