Happy Release Day to my
darling friend, Aimée Duffy! xoxo
If you missed my review
of this wonderful novella, please feel free to click HERE and take a gander but
come back because I’ve got an excerpt and a giveaway to make this a party!
Blurb for WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO?:
The first novella in a thrilling,
pulse-racing new erotic romance series, Indecent Proposals. Three best friends,
Shey, Eloisa and Georgia take on the most powerful and eligible men of the New
York dating scene.
“'I'm not coming over.' Shey replied confidently.
'Then maybe you could return the favor now.'
Wait, he didn't mean...
'Slide your hand beneath your panties and tell me how ready you are for me.'
Oh my god, he did.”
Single Manhattanite Shey Lopez doesn't do one-night stands, or have relationships she can't control. Especially if giving in to playboy Calvin Jones means losing her heart in the process.
However, Mr Won't-Take-No-For-An-Answer always gets what he wants and there's only so many times a girl can resist such an enticing proposal...

Excerpt from WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO?:
‘I suppose you agree
with her idiot boyfriend?’ Shey asked the stranger.
His lips twisted up at
the corners and a sultry look darkened his eyes. ‘Hell no. I can think of
better ways to entertain a lady.’
Her heart rate went
crazy.
Mandy gasped, but was
saved by the phone ringing. Shey didn’t have the same time to compose herself.
She was lost in his gaze and that fiery burn scorching through her body. For
the first time since she could remember, Shey couldn’t find her tongue. Those
damn eyes messed with her head and she couldn’t break free from their spell if
she tried.
He stepped closer and
the burn intensified. She was so hot she wanted to rip the dress off and stand
in front of an open freezer to cool down. Up close she could see a dark five
o’clock shadow on his sculpted jaw. His throat was thick, just like his
shoulders. The slightly crooked nose suggested he’d had it broken at some point
in his life, but it didn’t deter from his harsh beauty. Shey was awestruck, and
so turned on she thought she might come just from looking at him.
‘What’s your name,
gorgeous?’ he asked.
The disinterest on his
face made it seem like he was flirting out of habit rather than because he
wanted to. Even still, there seemed to be a magnetic force between them,
crackling in the air and sparking. Those eyes of his had darkened,
contradicting his Mr. Cool Man front. No way was Shey going to make this easy
for him.
‘Seriously? That the
best line you’ve got?’ She forced a laugh, but it came out husky, damn it.
‘Next you’ll call my dad a thief for stealing the stars and putting them in my
eyes.’
His brows shot up, but
he composed himself in a heartbeat. With a smile, he leaned forward and brushed
a kiss over her cheekbone. The spicy smell of him invaded her senses and her
skin sizzled with the contact. Her body went hyperactive. Hands trembling,
knees weakening and oh yeah, soaked right through her lacy thong. She had to
get away from him before she did something crazy, like beg for those soft lips
to touch her again.
‘Sweetheart, with you I
don’t need any lines.’
Anger boiled through her
veins, loosening his hold on her body. She didn’t even know his name and he had
her salivating, for Christ’s sake. He was a cocky bastard, so sure he had her
right where he wanted her, and the worst thing? He was absolutely right. Next time
those lips touched her skin she’d be putty in his long-fingered hands.
‘It’ll take more than
arrogance to win me over.’ Shey left the asshole unspoken. ‘I have somewhere to
be.’ Without waiting for Mandy to get off the phone or for Mr. Cool to reply,
she left the reception.
His voice trailed behind
her. ‘I’ll see you soon, gorgeous.’
Yeah, big shot. In your
dreams.

About the Author:
All my life I’ve been
dreaming up stories. My mum said when I was little I used to make all the My
Little Pony figurines talk to each other, and even fall in love. Later, it was
Barbie and Ken. In my teens, I played matchmaker with my friends at school.
When I wasn’t creating
imaginary scenarios, I had my nose stuck in books, reading across genres and
there was one thing I loved more than the escapism—the fact a story can touch
me so deeply, like I was experiencing everything along with my characters. I
knew from early on this was something I wanted to do for others.
Fast forward a few
years, and the dream almost got lost in real life, but I still couldn’t shake
it completely. Now I write sizzling romance with the hope of making my readers’
hearts race like they are falling in love for the first time.

I hope you enjoyed the
excerpt and it has you itching to read this first novella of what promises to
be an exciting trilogy, because now we’re on to the party prize.
I asked Aimée where she
got her inspiration and what was the craziest thing she ever did to catch a guy’s
attention and here’s what she had to say:
*Blushes* from listening to my friends of course. ;o)
As for catching a guy's attention, I like to ignore them. It usually works if someone is giving me the eyes when I'm out, I'll give them back for a bit, then ignore the sucker. If he doesn't have the brass ones to come over and ask for a date then he's not worth dating. heehee.
Sounds like good advice
for when a girl wonders what to do, eh? *wink*
