3-3.5 “Rough and sexy” stars
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I want her.
Plain and simple truth. I want her. I want to push inside her. I want to grip her hair and tug her scalp and lick her bared throat. I want to tie her wrists and ankles to my bed, make her helpless, weak, wet for me.
I want to leave my marks on her, bruise that delicate flesh, have her sore and aching after I ravage her.

This was my first ever read by this author and let me tell you it was S.E.X.Y. Her writing was flawless and kept me engaged. I liked the little drama thrown in. It was definitely worth it if you’re looking for a easy read for a sexy and a good time.
I try to pretend I’m not aware of the sweat dribbling down his chest and neck and back. That I’m not aware of the tattoos covering him. That I’m not aware of the muscles of his arms and legs. I try to pretend my core isn’t tightening in response to his raw sexuality, pretend I don’t want him to drop those bags, push me to the sidewalk, and thrust his hard cock inside me.
God help me, I’m so attracted to him I can barely focus.
Aubrey moves to a small town in order to get away from her abusive ex and on the first night she ends up at Outlaw which is the towns bar known for its rough crowd and reputation. What she doesn’t expect is to find the owner of the said bar to be scorching hot and handsome but with a surly and rude attitude. What I liked was how she didn’t shy away from giving him a witty reply.
I guess she isn’t going to just slink away, despite me silently willing her to go away. I walk over to her. “So you’re back,” I say, and my voice isn’t any friendlier than last time.
She lifts her chin. “I guess I’m a glutton for punishment. I haven’t had shitty customer service in a whole week, and I’m way overdue.”
The smartass answer makes me chuckle unexpectedly.
Smith Beckett is known as a hothead actually all the Beckett brothers. They have a reputation because of the clientele of their bar despite being good at hearts. The second he sees Aubrey enter the bar and take a seat at the counter, he knows she doesn’t belong here with her innocent and soft personality. He even goes as far as telling her to go to other bar but is shocked when she does the exact opposite and even asks him to do a shot with her.
I drop a hand down to caress her clit and I feel the hard bud pulse under my fingertips. “You’re a wicked girl, aren’t you,” I breathe in her ear. “You like being fucked like this, dirty and spread open for me. Your nipples clamped and your wrists and ankles bound.”
“Yes,” she gasps.
Their banter was funny and also filled with sensual tension. It always felt as if they wanted to rip the clothes off each and give in to their urges. There were so many sizzling intimate scenes, each one more hotter and dirtier than the last. Smith was a smooth dirty talker, filthy and oh so dominant in the bedroom.
Smith isn’t perfect—he’s surly and abrasive at times, hard to read, and his temper is quite strong. But he’s also got this vulnerability underneath all of that.
Both had a rough past and were broken in their own way. Smith had lots of responsibilities on his shoulder ever since his father died and he had to take care of his younger siblings making him jaded towards others so I liked how Aubrey made him soft around the edges and supported him in saving his bar.
Smith closes his eyes, seems to struggle to breathe. He presses a tender kiss to my forehead, and for some reason, that simple, unexpected gesture gives me a lump in my throat.
This felt like more than just fucking.
This felt dangerous. Exciting. Addictive.
Aubrey learned to lean on smith when her ex showed up stalking and threatening her. She loved his dominance knowing he would never take advantage of her trust. He brought out the good and naughty side of her which made for a very steamy chemistry.
Overall it was an amazing read and fast paced. The plot was pretty predictable and kind of repetitive but enjoyable none the less. Also the book felt really short and I wanted a lot more, the romance could have been grown a lot more as it seemed they fell for each other pretty fast.. Still am going to continue with the series.
If you guys love a good steamy and small town romance read, then this is the one. ♥️
