Working side by side with Eric Wilde wasn't easy for Jill Richardson. She even turned down offers from the company he worked for to be part of their permanent staff. She's heard the rumors about Eric living up to his name and she doesn't want to be one of a crowd. However, Eric has wanted Jill and makes no bones about it. So, he comes to her with a seductive proposal after he comes to her home at night and watches her bathe.

They'll maintain a business relationship during daytime hours, but after hours, Eric agrees to be her Phantom Lover. They'll explore the depths of their desires for as long as she works on the project his company hired her for. Jill is hesitant at first, due to being scorched once. The time limit on the affair gives them both the chance to walk away after with no hard feelings.

Their affair is hot, intense and more. They push the boundaries as they explore each other's fantasies. Jill learns to surrender to this man who evokes more than just desire in her body, but opens her heart as well. Eric finds himself entranced by Jill and fears it. He watched his brothers fall for women who hurt them in the long run. As they have their affair, their feelings become more and more involved. They learn how to trust and give to each other with their bodies and their hearts.

As the project ends, so does their affair. Neither want it to end, but neither knows how to express their heartfelt desires aloud. They have to meet one last time at a party for the project. What happens there between them in that woman's bathroom is one of the most intense, emotional scenes that had moved my heart.

Janelle has this skill to create scenes that stay with you. From some of her most potent love scenes in this novella, like the pearl scene, to the last love scene in the book, you find that not only are you deeply drawn into the story. Your heart is there with the characters from the moment you meet them until the end. This erotic romance will tempt you, tease you, delight you and definitely remind you that physical passion can lead to one of the greatest romances of your life. I highly recommend getting the I Brake for Bad Boys anthology. You will delight in the erotic romance in there and perhaps just find Something Wilde for yourself to try.

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.

Janelle Denison's Naughty by Night delves into the realm of love unrequited. Gabe Mackenzie is back in Chloe Anderson's life. When they were teens, he'd walk away because he thought he couldn't give her what she needed due to an injury. Six years have passed and brought it full circle. However, this time, Chloe wants to show him what Gabe has missed all these years. Giving him a trust that she'd never give to a stranger, she gets him hot and bothered after he loses a poker game to her. Four nights of teasing, taunting and passion culminates in the realization that only with each other are they willing to fulfill any and all fantasies.

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.
