Raven Elliot blasts
into town like a wrecking ball—striking and devastating.

With a few simple words, my reliable routine crumbles to dust.
“Is this seat
taken?”
I could close my
eyes and let her voice wrap around me like a lover’s caress.
But this isn’t that kind of story.
And I’m sure as hell not that kind of man.
She hovers in my
space, batting her lashes and smiling shyly.
The glimmer in her sapphire eyes is a promise of peace.
But I’m not falling for it.
And Raven doesn't take the hint.
What starts as a
battle of wills, explodes into a turf war.
She stands directly in my path everywhere I turn.
No matter how hard I shove, she won’t budge.
Raven seems dead set on driving me insane.
But I was here first.
And I’m not going down easy.
After all, no one
ever taught me how to treat a lady.

Excerpt
“Listen,
babe—”
She holds up her hand like a stop sign and for some reason, having her interrupt doesn’t bother me.
“Did you just babe me?” Her question is all sass.
“Sure did, sweetheart. Call ‘em like I see ‘em. Don’t pretend to be offended. We both know why you’re over here talking to me.”
Her face turns an adorable shade of pink. “First, stop with the nicknames. Second, are you for real? What the hell is wrong with you?”
“I don’t see any issue. You’re the one disrupting my quiet evening.”
“What the… I mean, seriously? I want to sit down and this is the only available spot. You honestly think I came over here to hit on you?”
Her ridiculous question doesn’t deserve a response. My glare matches hers as I silently explain my opinion on the matter. My expression must tell her everything she needs to know.
“Wow, you’re an asshole.”
“You’re the third woman to call me that tonight. Be careful, I might get a complex.”
“Aw, poor baby. I’d hate to dent your fragile ego,” she snips with a curl in her lip.
“There’s nothing fragile about me. Don’t worry. I’m hard and solid. Wanna feel?” I ask and pat my abs.
She nods to my hands. “No, thanks. I’d hate for you to rub off on me.”
“Does the grease under my nails bother you? Princess is afraid of getting a little dirty?”
“Do you get a rise out of being mean?”
I lean against the bar and cross my arms. “I don’t get many complaints. You’re not from around here, so I’ll fill you in—the ladies love me.”
“Pretty sure I saw Barbie McCleveage storm off after chatting with you. She didn’t look too satisfied.”
“Now who’s using nicknames? Jealous much?”
“Hardly,” she huffs.
I smirk before checking out her rack, being extremely obvious about it. Pushing her buttons takes away the tension from earlier, replacing it with a surprising ease. Fighting with her is the most nonsexual fun I’ve had with a woman in a long time. Wonder how she’d react if I called her ma’am.
“All right, all right. You’ve broken me down. I was set on not having any company tonight, but for you, I’ll make an exception. If you insist on standing here, blabbing away, I’ve got far better uses for that luscious mouth. My place isn’t too far away,” I suggest while waggling my brows. My behavior is over the top, but what can I say? She’s bringing out the best in me.
Her lips part in shock. This stranger just stares at me, and I’m sure she’s about to turn away… or slap me. Either way, mission accomplished.
But this chick is full of surprises.

Review
Raven Elliot has always felt like a lost soul, but coming to Garden Grove makes her feel like she's finally come home.
Trey Sollens is set in his ways and sees no reason to change. While many avoid his bark and his bite, but he's never meet anyone like Raven before.
Their first meeting was less than stellar and their second wasn't any better, but an attraction like theirs can't be denied.
Their arrangement was simple, fun, no feelings, and no strings attached.
But the more time they spend together, the more the lines blur. Long held secrets start to be shared and feelings start to grow.
While Raven is more than willing to take a chance on Trey, will Trey be able to let his walls crumble or will he do what he's always done before and push her away forever?
Gent is an exciting, sexy, captivating read that keeps the reader glue to each page just see what will happen next.
I loved Raven right from the start. She's smart, witty, talented, kind, loyal, and just a bit naive. She really is an all around, down to earth kind of girl you can't help but fall in love with. I admire her tenacity when it comes to dealing with Trey. Everyone around her tells her to let sleeping dogs lie, but she knows there is more to him than the rough and tough exterior he shows.
Trey, Trey, Trey. He's rough, he's tough, he's a pain the butt. But there is more to him than he lets on. He's a hard worker and when push comes to shove, he'll step up. And when he let's those walls down, you can't help but fall for him.
And when Raven finally gives in Trey takes her to places she never imagined possible. It's hot, dirty, and everything naughty.
I loved every minute of Gent and didn't want to see the end. The storyline was enticing, the hero yummy, the heroine brilliant, and the passion off the charts. It's everything I've come to look for in Harloe Rae book.
So if you are need of a read that will get your heart pumping and have you swooning over and over again, then I highly recommend you pick up Gent today. Let Raven and Trey show you just how great something can by if just take a risk.
