Twice as Sexy

Tanner and Scarlett’s love story in Twice as Sexy, book two in The Sexy series by Carly Phillips is another winner. Ms. Phillips once again gives us a protective alpha male hero falling in love at first sight as well as needing to protect his woman when she might be in danger, because of his past. Tanner Grayson keeps himself in check and his anger at bay thanks to the help of the men he views as brothers and the club they operate. Setting eyes on the sexy woman doing shots in his club and he knows he’s lost. Assistant District Attorney Scarlett Davis set her eyes on Tanner and decided he would be her birthday present. They both say it’s only one night, but one night isn’t enough, nor is two nor . . . These two opposites are falling deeper than they ever planned. Then Tanner’s past collides with the vandalism being done to the club and the early release from prison of the man who caused the death of their friend. Scarlett will need to decide if a Tanner has truly changed from after his past and if she can accept him for who he is; a man who loves her and wants a future together. Ms. Phillips wrote a wonderful, emotional and sexy story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Tanner and Scarlett a chance for happiness, love and that future together. I highly recommend Twice as Sexy to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

***5 #TeamTanner Stars*** I need my own Tanner. That’s really what I’m taking away from this book. I need a guy like Tanner in my life, even if he is only a BFF because…*swoon* Ok. Let’s rewind a bit before I go on a huge verbal vomity dissertation of the man (which I am not going to do after this) I have to say, I devoured this book. In and of itself, it is a quick read, but it was one I got lost in from the very start and refused to put it down until there were no more words to read. Now.Tanner. This man is all kinds of Book Boyfriend Goodness. I could go on and on and on, but you just need to experience all that makes him amazing. And then there is Scarlett. She was amazing too. She’s hard working, sassy and has a compassionate soul. Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun. From the moment they collided, it was clear they could be way more than a one and done hook up. I loved their bantering and I loved how they actually adulted. There were bumps in their road, but nothing went into angsty OTT mode, which I was totally into, and I absolutely LOVED how everything turned out for them. This book was simply fun. There is drama and issues that come up that could be triggers for some, but it was all handled really well and were necessary when it came to the character building of the MC’s. But I loved catching up with Faith and Jason, hanging out with all the family members that came out to play and cannot wait for Landon’s book! ~ Copy provided by the author & voluntarily reviewed ~

Tanner and Scarlett have an insta-connection from the moment their eyes meet across the crowded club Tanner co-owns. Scarlett doesn’t normally have much of a social-life but decides Tanner is going to be her personal birthday present 🎁 Both Tanner and Scarlett have a lot of emotional baggage which has them both convinced they are not relationship material. However, Tanner is self-aware enough to realise the connection they share is special and should be explored further. I loved the way in which Tanner gave himself over to his emotions and gradually chipped away at Scarlett’s barriers to show her how perfect they are and could be together. When the past catches up to the present, Tanner has to prove he has matured in the way in which he is able to handle situations. Unfortunately, this also exposes parts of his past he would prefer left hidden especially where Scarlett is concerned. Both Scarlett and Tanner have experienced traumatic events in their lives and it is these events which have shaped them into the people they have become and the career paths they have taken. Intriguingly the events put them on opposing sides and are a pivotal point to their relationship. I loved the support system around Tanner along with how easily Scarlett is accepted into their inner circle. Twice as Sexy is a fast-paced both in action and in terms of the relationship between Tanner and Scarlett. While the relationship angst is fairly low, there is a lot of drama within the plot adding suspense to the narrative.
