A Sexy Flirty Dirty Standalone Romance
F*ck being good. When you’ve been screwed over by Mr. Wrong, let a Spectacular Rascal show you how good it feels to be bad.
My best friend and boss at Magnificent Bastard consulting—get revenge on your ex or your money back—is the smooth, successful New York businessman type. But me? I’m the other guy—the one you don’t bring home to mama. The tattooed, rough-around-the-edges, 100% primal badass. I won’t pull out your chair, sweetheart, but I will pull your hair.
I’ve got what it takes to make sure your dangerous dick of an ex thinks twice before he knocks on your door again.
Or I thought I did, until I meet my latest client: Catherine Jones, a.k.a. Polka Dot Panties. Former college running partner, sexiest woman I’ve ever almost de-virginized, and the only girl I’ve never been able to get out of my damn head.
Now my one-that-got-away is looking up at me with those big green eyes, daring me to take on an ex as dick-ish and dangerous as hers.
Well, you know what they say—it’s all fun and games until you’re making out on top of a mobster’s limousine.
Soon Catherine and I are in deep. We’re on guard, on the run, and on top of each other every chance we get. But outsmarting her mobster ex is the least of my worries, especially when I start thinking our falling hard act isn’t an act at all.
But after all this time, can a guy from the wrong side of the tracks find his forever with the sweet and sexy polka-dot-pantied girl next door?
Warning: SPECTACULAR RASCAL is a stand-alone erotic romance told from the hero’s point of view. No cliffhanger. Lots of dirty talk.
Review by Cindy
My
introduction to Lili Valente was "Magnificent Bastard," the first
book in this series. And what an introduction it was! The premise of the series
is clever, and the dynamic and dialogue between the characters was witty and
original, so I couldn’t wait to see what was in store with book two:
"Spectacular Rascal."
Aiden Knight
is best friend to Sebastian (Bash) Prince, aka Magnificent Bastard. MB
Consulting is dedicated to axiom “don’t get mad, get even.” Bash convinces his
tattoo artist friend Aiden that joining MBC is not only a great way to help him
raise the funds to open his second studio, but it’s also good for the soul.
Armed with
the moniker Spectacular Rascal, Aiden accepts the latest MBC client, Beth
Jones, a woman whose “ex” doesn’t seem to understand that no means no. It seems
like it’s going to require not only Aiden’s brains and good looks, but his
tatted-up bad boy brawn as well to convince her mobster get-a-clue-ex that it’s
time to move along. The plan is in place, but the stakes ramp up when Aiden
realizes that Beth Jones is really Catherine (Cat) Jones, the woman he walked
away from after college eleven years ago. Gone, but never forgotten.
I’m giving
nothing away here. You HAVE to experience Curved and Panties (Aiden and Cat)
for yourself. Their banter is facetious and witty, clever and sharp. I loved
every sarcastic, sensitive, sexy minute of it. But "Spectacular
Rascal" goes beyond just a romantic comedy. The characters have depth.
There’s something touching and compelling about their connection, and I found
my chuckles accompanied by a sniffle or two more than once.
A
spectacular summer escape. Grab your e-reader and head to the pool, but don’t
forget the lemonade. You’re gonna need something to cool you off from all the
dirty talk. Aiden really is a rascal. Honesly, I'm going to miss these guys.
Maybe the author can be convinced to give us a follow-up story just for fun...
Five sexy,
funny stars!

About Angel Payne:
USA Today bestselling romance author Angel Payne has been reading and writing her entire life, though her love for romances began in junior high, when writing with friends on “swap stories” they’d trade between classes. Needless to say, those stories involved lots of angst, groping, drama, and French kissing.
She began getting a paycheck for her writing in her twenties, writing record reviews for a Beverly Hills-based dance music magazine. Some years, various entertainment industry gigs, and a number of years in the hospitality industry later, Angel returned to the thing she loves the most: creating character-based romantic fiction. Along the way, she also graduated with two degrees from Chapman University in Southern California, taking departmental honors for English, before writing five historical romances for Kensington and Bantam/Doubleday/Dell.
Angel found a true home in writing contemporary-based romances featuring high heat, memorable alpha men, and the women who tame them. She has numerous book series to her credit, including the Kinky Truth series, the Cimarron saga, the Secrets of Stone series (with Victoria Blue), and the popular W.I.L.D. Boys of Special Forces series, as well as several stand-alone titles. The C Suite series launches in 2016.
Angel still lives in Southern California, where she is married to her soul mate and lives on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with their awesome daughter and Lady Claire, the dog with impeccable manners. When not writing, she enjoys reading, pop culture, alt rock, cute shoes, enjoying the outdoors, and being a gym rat.
