Women love bad boys. They play a big role in many women's fantasies. Is it the naughtiness they project? The sinful thoughts they encourage and inspire in women? The sexiness that pours off of them? Or maybe it's because those bad boys aren't afraid to go after what they want. Three wonderfully talented authors come together to give us tales about sinfully sexy men and their expensive toys. Men our mothers have always warned us to stay away from.

Alex was a man who had no problems getting women in his bed. He was a handsome man and a player. At his sister's wedding he sees one of the most gorgeous women he has ever come across. Unfortunately, this goddess was his new brother-in-law's best friend and his sister made him pinkie swear not to touch or hurt her. Ah, the things brothers do for their sisters.

While his sister was on her honeymoon, Alex was going to stay in her apartment to finish designing his new computer program before meeting with potential buyers. Unfortunately his brother-in-law hired his best friend Keagan, "the goddess", to redecorate his new wife's apartment. Say goodbye to well-laid plans.

There was no way Alex could stay in the apartment with Keagan and not touch her. Especially when she wants him just as much as he does her. Will Alex be able to find the willpower to resist Keagan and keep his promise to his sister? Not if Keagan has anything to say about it. The battle of wills is about to begin. She was going to throw every sinfully, sexy trick she has at him. What she doesn't realize is that Alex has a few tricks of his own.

Anything You Can Do is a sinfully, sexy romance story Karen Kelley. This talented author has a wonderful way of pulling her readers in, keeping them in suspense with every word written. You could feel the sexual tension between the hero and heroine as it built higher and higher throughout the pages. The teasing, sexual innuendos will bring delicious tingles through your body. Making you wonder if you will break before the hero and heroine. Grab a bag (yes a BAG) of ice, set it down next to you and be prepared to read one of the hottest short stories written today.

Bad Boys With Expensive Toys is one anthology that I highly recommend. The stories are hot, the heroes are yummy, and the heroines are women you can admire. Authors Nancy Warren, MaryJanice Davidson and Karen Kelley pulled no punches in bringing their fans what they look for in a story, a story worth reading over and over. This one is definitely staying on my keeper shelf.
