Three of today's best authors come together to give us three hot stories about those "bad boys" who are every woman's fantasies. Those men who are very sexy, very confident and not afraid to push the boundaries to go after what they want.

Ginger Cameron was a woman who loved sex but she was extremely tired of being burned by men. Why was she so attracted to those men who ended up being the scum of the earth? Wasn't there any man out there that was sexy, loving, trusting and wanted to settle down? Ginger was fed up and decided to change her image and swore off sex for the next two years. Now if she can contain her lust and stick to her plan. Weeks go by and Ginger was doing well in keeping her vow. She changed her image from a sexy siren to a woman who was a throw back to olden days, wearing plain and large buttoned-to- the neck clothes that hid her womanly curves quite well. That is, she was doing good until fate threw a wrench in her well laid plans in the form of super sexy and an ex-soap opera star, Cal Beaumann. Will Ginger be able to stick to her convictions and resist this sexy man who was determined to learn and find the real Ginger she was hiding? Will this man be different from all the others or will he too break her heart?

Pure Ginger was a fun romantic read. Author E.C. Sheedy did a great job of luring the readers in and holding their attentions with a great plot, funny dialog and great characters that seemed so down to earth. You have to love a hero who is strong and sexy but very down to earth given his past super star job and willing to look past the outside packaging in order to get to know what is inside. The heroine was a strong woman willing to do what it takes to get the job. It was funny how she went from one extreme to another and didn't care what others thought which is something to be admired.

All three stories in Bad Boys Next Exit were well-written, sizzling hot and great reads. I highly and enthusiastically recommend this story.

Is it possible for two people to meet, fall into lust, then love, at first sight? Yes, it happens and happily ever after happens too. Lust/Love is the common thread for these intense stories in Bad Boys Next Exit.

Ginger's been burned. Her latest boyfriend ended up being married with kids. That's it. This stunning beauty is about to hide her assets and dress down a bit. While she's at it, she's going to de-virginalize. She plans on doing without sex for at least two years. She's busy building her advertising company, and she wants to succeed based on merit and talent - not her looks. Her newest client, Cal Beaumann would love to hire her, but he makes it a condition that she stop wearing burlap and dress up just a bit. After all, he's launching a new theater, and hip is in. Cal was right when he realized that there was much more behind the baggy clothes and seemingly dull personality. He finds Ginger to be more exciting than he could ever have imagined.

Bad Boys Next Exit is an exciting, sensual read. Each story, each couple, starts out with a bang. The intensity never drops. Though the reader doesn't get to see the relationships develop, each relationship is convincing enough for us to believe these couples have found love. I enjoyed this read and will proudly place this book on my keeper shelf.
