Her reputation is everything, but she can’t resist temptation when given an opportunity to join Club Valentine, the exclusive sex club that caters to the wealthy.

Roman Valentine makes a living providing people a place to exercise their sexual preferences with discretion.

Review

This was an excellent debut book from Charlotte Winston! From the start you draws in with the feisty, strongly independent Alexandra Kane. She's a woman that is on a mission to achieve everything her father wanted before he died. Due to her hectic schedule, she has no time to date let alone find someone just to scratch the itch with. So her best friend Blair provides her a way to have a little fun while keeping everything discrete.

Roman Valentine doesn't want to see yes to Alexandra's request, but one look at her and he can't deny her. But there is another reason why he's accepting her offer, a secret that he's not willing to tell her just yet or ever.

As their relationship continues, the lines begin to blur and secrets from both sides begin to come to the surface. And once all those secrets are finally reveal, what does that mean for Roman and Alexandra's relationship? Can they work past the issues and make a real go at a deepening relationship or will they just walk away from it all?

Picking up debut books can either prove to be lackluster or blow you away. Luckily Charlotte delivers as book that is full of sexual tension that leaves you breathless. The things Roman does to Alexandra will have you panting with each deliciously dirty word uttered, each extraordinarily sexy thrust of his hips. And the secrets that Alexandra uncover, the way everything finally comes to light, is thrilling. Seriously some very entertaining reading to be had within the pages of this book. I will be keeping on eye on Charlotte and can't wait see what she will bring us next.


Excerpt

“I’m thrilled for my sister. She deserves all the happiness life has to offer, and Anthony’s perfect for her.” Alexandra smiled, leaning against Blair’s shoulder because it was too much work to hold her head up in her drunken state.

“She looks happy. Unlike some people.” Blair drilled her finger in Alexandra’s stomach.

Alexandra swatted it away before Blair bruised something. “I’m happy. How many people do you know make junior partner when they’re thirty?” She held her arms out like an actor gesturing toward their waiting crowd.

Blair rolled her eyes, pushing Alexandra’s arms down. “There’s more to life than work. When was the last time you went on vacation? Had a date? Got laid?” Alexandra’s eyes darted toward the rearview mirror, where the cab driver was paying close attention to Blair’s latest “you need a life” round of questions.

Alexandra turned so she could maintain some semblance of privacy from the nosy cab driver. “I’m going on vacation as soon as I’m done with my upcoming trials. You know how important it is for me to make partner. And as far as dating, I don’t have time for anyone right now. Getting laid? That’s been a while.” Six months, to be exact, but Blair didn’t need to know that piece of information. And wasn’t she just a chatty Cathy after all those drinks? Those close to her knew Alexandra didn’t date but had no idea she went to the bar for a random one-night stand when she had an itch to scratch. Easier all around, but she’d been too busy for even that recently.

Blair tsked at her. “You don’t even remember, do you? The day I forget the last time I had sex is the day I hire a male escort.” Alexandra remembered, but refused to elaborate on the drunken hookup on for her twenty-ninth birthday resulting in missing panties and a walk of shame to rival her college days.

Alexandra slapped her arm. “I am not hiring a prostitute. Could you see the headlines? ‘Popular lawyer indicted for soliciting sex.’ Plus, I can get my own man; I just don’t have time.” And she refused to deal with the next guy looking at her like she was a freak—as though she were damaged somehow—because she loved having sex a lot. She just chose not to have indiscriminant sex with multiple men, she preferred one partner. And there was no partner, just her vibrator, which she’d almost worn out with overuse.

Blair didn’t answer, just stared out the window, deep in thought before addressing her. “Hey, I have an idea…”
