Bad and Dirty Books: Beguiling by Alex Lucian

Hate: to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward.

Scarlet Jennings, the preacher’s daughter who lived across the street, was a royal, uptight pain in my ass. When she looked at me, she saw a college quarterback asshole with rocks for brains, but she didn’t have a single word for what was happening between us.

When we were forced to ride together every single day that summer, there was definitely some dislike going on. Extreme hostility was a given, considering that we were spending so much time together in close quarters.

One night of bed-breaking, body-shattering, lose-your-voice-from-screaming passion had surprised us both, but it was only just the beginning…

When I first read Tempting by Alex Lucian,

I was blown away!!!

I simply loved it!

Fresh and sexy as hell!

Enjoyed Adele's story and

her friend Leo was something else.

So when I heard the next book was going to be Leo's story I definitely had to read it.

Leo was such a great, funny and sweet guy.

I adored his patience and view on Scarlet. Even though he's had his share of women he's very different with her.

He respected her background as a preacher's daughter and her sexual inexperience.

He certainly wasn't

inexperienced

but had some tongue skills.

Scarlet was a feisty and opinionated girl.

Very dedicated to her schoolwork and her dream of becoming a veterinarian doctor. She's only had one sexual encounter

and a bad one at that.

A drunk and 5 minutes encounter

that's given her a bad impression of sex.

So she's missing out on a lot and

not only great sex because of her studies.

Her solution = a bucket list

which Leo gladly would help out with.

Their chemistry worked, sexy as all hell and their bantering funny.

So why the 3 stars?

Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't connect

with the characters the way I wanted.

Scarlet frustrated the hell out of me

with her hot and cold attitude.

Damn, she was really

hitting a nerve at one point.

I knew that the story would be different from its predecessor, so I was expecting that

and I appreciate when an author goes a different route with the next book.

I really put an effort in to get a great connection from the story but, no such luck.

I have to say that the writing was sublime

and this book is NOT putting me off for

Alex Lucian's next book.

I'm definitely going to read

the continuation of

Adele and Nathan's story.
