I Love Bad Boys has three of the top hot erotic romance authors in the field today. In reading this book, it was impossible to put down with all the hot, sexy romance inside. These authors brought forth fantasies that most of men and women have. Each novella showed passion and romance in ways that we dream of touching and trying.

In Indulge Me by Lori Foster, we see that shy Becky Harte has taken up the gauntlet tossed by her friends, Asia and Erica. She's gone to Wild Honey, the local sex toy shop and set her plan in motion to go out with the first man who has the same interest she does. What she doesn't know is that the man she's had a secret crush on for two years wants to be the one who fulfills all her needs. George Westin has wanted Becky and is more than willing to fulfill her deepest fantasy, even if it means that in the end, he's not the one in charge as he assumes at the beginning. The story was hot beginning to end with not once dropping the romance. To see how they've grown to love each over since the beginning and their willingness to trust each other, it's truly a steamy love story.

This anthology raises your blood pressure, raises your libido, and makes you know realize that passion and romance are everywhere you look. From a sex toy shop, to old flames, to a no holds barred resort, love shows its many facets in this exciting book. I highly recommend you read I Love Bad Boys then give it to a friend, a lover, or someone who you think might like thinking outside the norm. All three lovely ladies have done an outstanding job in this anthology that doesn't disappoint.

Grace Jenkins has always dreamt about Noah Harper. Little did she know that he also thought about her. When Noah's engagement ends badly but Noah won't defend himself as to the reasons why, Grace goes to his side in order to defend him from those who don't understand him. She finds Noah and his brother Ben in the throes of a no-holds-barred drinking event. When Grace tells them that she knows that Noah had to have a good reason for calling off the engagement, Noah views her in a slightly new light. No, it wasn't the fact that she looked like a drowned rat and that Noah was feeling his oats. It was the fact that Grace was defending him in a way no person, other than his brother ever had. Not even his grandmother, Agatha Harper defended him in his decision. In fact, Agatha is one of his tormentors.

Grace takes care of Noah while he's drunk and in return stays the night. Though nothing happens, it's one of the most illuminating moments Grace has ever experienced. In the morning, they end up striking a deal. They agree to an affair, not realizing they might both be wanting more. Grace certainly does but refuses to let that deter her.

Agatha however has other plans. She wants Noah back with Kara, the ex-fiancee. Though Noah has no intention of ever going back with Kara, Agatha can't leave well enough alone. Because of Grace being late do to overwhelming circumstances, including the fact of her and Noah making arrangements, Agatha fires Grace. Agatha thinks that Noah has dallied with Grace and that's why the wedding has been called off. It's not, but Grace and Noah leave. Agatha then has to make plans to make sure everything happens the way she wants.

Now free from working with Agatha, Grace has the freedom to explore who she is. Noah helps her in learning her sexual side as well as learning to accept herself. To Grace, she is overweight. To Noah, Grace is lush and rounded. He loves the fact he can be himself with her and not hide who he is or how much he wants her. Though plots and plans threaten to take them apart, namely Agatha's planning, they continue to grow closer and closer.

I won't spoil the ending for anyone. Lori Foster has done it again. She's taken a set of circumstances that anyone could find themselves in and made it something to learn from. It taught me that sensuality is inherent in the person, not the looks. It also reminded me of how families can hurt us the most even while trying to do the best things for us as well. This book is truly a winner. Yet another book from Lori that takes you on the romance rollercoaster ride and at the end makes you realize that love, romance, and a good romp or two makes for a happy time with a great happily after ending you expect.
