The Queen of Reality TV meets the Kingpin of Porn
She’s trying to clean up her act.
She’s trying to clean up her act.
He’ s a purveyor of filth.
It will never work.
But don’t tell them that.
Dynassy Barnes isn’t known for her big heart.
She is, however, known for her heart-shaped ass and the selfies she shares with her army of social media followers. So when she meets a handsome former SEAL, she thinks she may have scored a love connection and a way to redeem her reputation with fans.
Bridger Thompson is a man of many secrets.
When an explosion in Iraq damaged his ability to satisfy his then-fiance, he never dreamed the machine he built to carry out his husbandly duties would turn into a business featuring women pleasuring themselves with it on camera. A business that could never be associated with The Barnes’ Family, the darlings of reality TV.
But Dynassy stirs a desire Bridger hasn’t felt in years, and he’s dead set on laying claim to the famous beauty—even though he fears he won’t be able to love her the way she deserves.
For that, he’d need to become a Machine.

Excerpt
I yawned and was about to pull out my phone when one of the sexiest men I’d ever seen walked through the door.
The vibe that entered the room with him was so intense that I almost giggled out loud like a schoolgirl. His sandy-brown hair had just enough curl to give it a mind of its own, and make him look like he’d spent the day surfing. Or maybe doing something more naughty to mess it up.
To my disappointment his navy blue coveralls didn’t have his name scrawled on them, but I did notice a line of tattooed blue stars trailing down one side of his neck, and it made me wonder where that tattoo ended and what other ones he was hiding beneath his clothes. He moved with the grace more common of an athlete than a mechanic, and his green eyes had a soulful intensity that made my heart skip a beat.
“How can we help you today?” The Adonis spoke, startling me from my thoughts. His voice was deep and sexy and I wanted to hear more of it.
“Um, I dropped my car off last week, but before I wrecked it, it was giving me some problems.”
“What kind of problems?”
“Like a squeaking problem.”
“Were there times it did it more than others?”
Now I felt stupid, and I wished I could drive the car for him and let him hear it for himself, but I jacked it up pretty good when I hit that tree.
“Not really?”
There I went sounding tentative again.
“It’s probably a belt. We can fix it.”
The confidence in his voice made me think this man could take care of any problems a girl might have.
Review
Bridger Thompson maybe a man of many secrets, but his biggest secret is that he's got a heart of gold and a machine that will rock your world. Be still my beating heart.
When I finished The Baller's Secret Baby I couldn't wait to get my hands on Dynassy's story. She's fun, feisty, and down to earth even though she's living life in the spotlight. And when she sets her mind on something, nothing and no one, not even her mother, will get in her way. She may get lost from time to time, she will always come back to what's in her heart. And what's not to love about a woman that will stand by her man when others would want to bring him down.
Bridger hasn't had the easiest of times the last few years, but one look at Dynassy changes everything. He was only half living, but now the future he never though he could have, now seems in his grasp. His job, the one that makes him the big bucks, could cause all sorts of trouble for Dynassy, but there is no way he could let her get away. Gotta love a man that knows what he wants and will stop at nothing to get it.
Oh my, how I loved this book. I knew going in that I would like Dynassy but I completely fell in love with her. I love how there is more to her that one would think. She's got a head on her shoulders no one expected. And Bridger? I want to tie him to my bed and never let him get away. A solider, mechanic, and an entrepreneur wrapped up in one devilishly sexy package.
This book isn't all sex, there's a love story that will warm your heart. I couldn't put it down until I had finished it, but even then I wanted more. I am loving the Barnes family, yes even mama Barnes, and eagerly await the next book in this series.
After reading this sensual and thrilling book, you will be wanting a Luv Machine of your own.
