Review & Excerpt:Unlawful Desire by Chelle Bliss

UNLAWFULDESIRE_TOUR_BANNER
Title: Unlawful Desire
Series:
ALFA PI Book #2
Synopsis
No matter how hard I tried to push her away, fate thrust us together again.
Screw relationships. My motto: Hit it and quit it. Simple worked. Feelings weren’t on the line, hearts weren’t able to be broken, and I could keep my life simple. My friends told me to move on and find the “one,” but I wasn’t ready to love again. Until I met her. A dirty-mouthed temptress with a killer body that had me questioning everything. I knew I could ruin her forever, but not without losing myself. I wouldn’t do it. But Georgia Phillips was innocent, pure, and total perfection. I wouldn’t be the one to strip her bare and break her heart. I swore I’d never call another woman mine, but that was before I almost lost her. Warning: If you can't handle a cocky bad boy or a badass chick with a dirty mouth, this might not be the book for you.



Unlawful Desire Excerpt
She leaned back against the bar with her tits jutting out and her arms crossed underneath. “What’s your problem with me? Did I do something to you, Frisco?” Caught off guard by her question, my body jerked backward. “N-no,” I stuttered. She tapped her foot. “You ditched me, marched off when you heard my age, and tonight, you seem less than happy that I’m here. What the fuck gives?” I cleared my throat, trying to find my voice and a reasonable explanation. “I don’t have anything against you.” I was in so much trouble. “Let’s cut the shit, Frisco. I’m a big girl. What’s the problem? Would you rather I leave?” Her body oozed attitude. I cringed. I never wanted to hurt anyone, but I knew that I had hurt her feelings. “No. Don’t go. I’m sorry. It’s just that Sunshine…” My chest tightened. “She’s trying to fix us up.” Georgia filled her cheeks with air before slowly exhaling. “Is that so bad?” She narrowed her eyes. “If I’m not your type, it’s cool. But otherwise, what’s the issue? I thought we had a nice time up until you left the party. I’m a big girl. Just be honest with me. I’m not into playing games.” I wanted to play games. Naked games that ended with us against a wall, tangled together like we’d played the sexiest game of Twister.

What I thought about Unlawful Desire

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked Unlawful Desire. I'm so glad that I gave this second book a shot since I was a bit on the fence about this series.  I found Unlawful Desire to be a fun virgin-and-the-bad-boy romp and that wasn't what I was expecting.  

After being burned by his fiance, Frisco isn't looking for anything more than a one night stand, at least that's what he tells himself.  When his pal's wife sets him up with a beautiful younger woman, he tries to resist, but she likes him too.  She's feisty and fun and Frisco falls hard. 

There's some great tension with her father who just happens to be in law enforcement.  Let's just say he's not too thrilled to have his daughter dating a PI. Chelle Bliss had a nice opportunity to build up more conflict with this storyline but I think it was resolved just a bit too soon.  But that was okay, because the best part about this story was the love story between Frisco and Georgia.

Frisco's friends provide a nice contrast to their love story with raucous man-talk and meddling, and the whole "Frisco" connection made me smile quite a few times.

I liked this fun, light romance.  There wasn't a lot of PI work going on, but that was okay with me.
