A good bad boy is hard to find…
A good bad boy is hard to find…
Seth Masterson has been lusting over Miranda Breslin
since the moment he saw her on a Vegas stage. Now that he’s been asked to watch
out for her as she opens a dance studio in San Diego, he’s all over it,
figuring it’s his chance to get her in his bed. Except the stubborn single mom
seems determined to deny their sizzling sexual chemistry. In typical SEAL
fashion, Seth makes it his personal mission to prove her wrong.
Miranda got over her attraction to bad boys about the
time one of them knocked her up at the age of eighteen. Seth’s mocking gray
eyes and military-buff bod, though, are pure and utter temptation. And when a
flooded apartment forces her and her twins to move in with him, she can no
longer resist the urge to set off some serious fireworks between the sheets.
But any involvement with Seth will be strictly
physical—and temporary. So when Seth decides permanent is what he wants,
Miranda must steel her defenses before she does something incredibly
foolish…like fall in love.
Warning: This book contains a bad boy SEAL who knows
what he wants and will go to any lengths to get it. Expect graphic language,
hot sex, seduction, hot sex, dirty talk, hot sex, a little man-on-man action.
Oh, and hot sex.

What I thought about Getting Hotter
Bad boy Seth has been lusting after Miranda for a long time, but she's not interested...mostly. Her first priority is her children, and Seth is anything but kid friendly. She won't entertain anything with him because she knows it won't be long term, and she doesn't want to put her kids in the situation of being hurt as well.
The attraction between Seth and Miranda hits epic proportions, and so he decides he will let her have the control if she'll just have sex with him. She agrees (she's been in a very long dry spell when it comes to men) and their time in the bedroom is explosive for both of them. They manage their "no strings" relationship around their schedules, but when Seth is around Sophie and Jason, it's clear that he doesn't want anything to do with them. When it becomes clear that nothing is going to change that, Miranda takes decides to cut back on their sleep overs and cuddling and other intimate behaviors both Seth and Miranda have begun to enjoy.
Seth really can't take it because he's falling for Miranda, much to his dismay. He misses their time together and wants more than just sex, so he makes another deal with Miranda to try to get along with her children. His first experience babysitting them is a disaster, but it is revealing as to why he's so averse to children and it's a very sad story.
It's fairly clear throughout the story that Seth is falling hard for Miranda and vice versa. I really enjoyed the progress of their relationship from pure lust to really having deep feelings for each other. They were great together!
I also enjoyed the parallel story of Seth's roommate Dylan and his struggles with his sexuality. Dylan was so different from Seth when it came to the children that I had to love him for how he treated Sophie and Jason. I definitely want his story now!
There's a lot to like about this series. The men are hot and the women are strong willed and their love story sucks you in from the start and keeps you until the end of the book.
