New York Times bestselling authors Phillips (Dare to Take) and Wilde (Playing with Seduction) pack plenty of sizzle into the first in their contemporary Dirty Sexy series. Socialite Samantha Jamieson refuses to marry a man she doesn’t love—and in reaction her incensed father cuts her off from his financial support and the only home she’s ever known. Samantha ends up in Clay “Saint” Kincaid’s bar. Clay’s gotten his nickname from his habit of rescuing those who need it, and boy does Samantha need it. After one too many shots, Clay takes Samantha home to ensure her safety—but it’s his heart that is in danger. When someone from Clay’s rough past reappears, things abruptly change. Can Clay and Samantha hold on to their love, or will they lose it forever? The bad man/good woman trope is used endlessly in romance, but Phillips and Wilde manage to make it fresh, hot, and endlessly appealing. The erotic scenes live up to the “dirty” in the title and the heroine is sympathetic and real. Readers will be salivating for the next book in the series. (BookLife)
