Two sexy stories from one of Harlequin Blaze's bestselling authors, Leslie Kelly.
Naturally Naughty Kate Jones, the girl from the wrong side of the tracks, is home—and she's got an agenda. To get revenge on the man who humiliated her mother, Kate's going to seduce that man's son—the town's golden boy, John Winfield Jr.—and then leave him drooling in a puddle of lust. Little does she guess when she finds herself seduced by a sexy stranger named Jack that the tables have just been turned….
Wicked & Willing Venus Messina has seen it all. Growing up in the foster care system, she's learned how to take care of herself. So when she's approached by a stranger who claims she's the long-lost granddaughter of a millionaire, she's wary. Especially when she meets her "grandfather's" new business partner, sexy Troy Langtree, and falls in lust at first sight. Troy is starting over—in a new city, in a new job. But once he meets Venus, all he wants is to have his wicked way with her—again and again! And if he's lucky, Venus will be as bad as she looks….
New York Times Bestselling author, Leslie Kelly writes sexy romances and dark romantic thrillers. A four-time RWA RITA Award nominee, eleven-time Romantic Times Award nominee and 2006 RT Award winner, Leslie has become known for her delightful characters, sparkling dialogue, and outrageous humor in her romances, and for the dark grittiness of her thrillers. Since the publication of her first book in 1999, Leslie has gone on to pen more than forty sassy, sexy romances for Harlequin Temptation, Blaze, and HQN.
In 2009, Leslie began tapping into her love for dark suspense by penning several books under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish. The Black CATs and Extrasensory Agents series quickly put Leslie on the must-read list of romantic-suspense fans.
Tired of writing under various names, Leslie decided to go into her next genre--futuristic thrillers with a suspense element--under her real name. She released her dark, gritty Veronica Sloan books, and reissued the Black CATs series, as Leslie A. Kelly.
Leslie lives in Denver with her husband Bruce--her real-life romance hero. Visit her online at lesliekelly.com (for her sexy romances) or at leslieAkelly.com (for her romantic suspense.)
"Naturally Naughty" by Leslie Kelly (2002) is my introduction to her writing. I wouldn't normally go for a book that had the back cover blurb that this one had because it was about revenge, but I am already a Jill Shalvis fan, and this book is related to her book "Naughty but Nice."
I was very impressed with Leslie Kelly! "Naturally Naughty" was an easy, well written, enjoyable read. If you like a read with non-stop sex, this will not disappoint! I liked Kate and Jack and the chemistry between them and how much they learned about themselves, their families, and the town that they grew up in.
"Wicked & Willing" By Leslie Kelly (2003) sealed Leslie Kelly onto my list on authors. I will gleefully track down every one of her back list titles and read them in order now. I was moved by Venus a.k.a Violet's story of finding herself and finding love.
