Plot: My name is Slade Merrick and I’m a f*cking sex addict . . .
I’ve been told it’s a problem. But I see it as a passion; something that I’m good at. And who the f*ck stops something that they’re good at?
They want me to seek help; get my c*ck in check. Don't judge my lifestyle. You’re no better than me. Just admit it, you like to f*ck too. Sex is what I do best; my own personal high, so I embrace it instead of being ashamed.
When I'm not f*cking, I'm slinging drinks at Walk Of Shame or stripping my way into your bed; another thing I'm good at. Every woman’s darkest fantasy brought to life.
So, am I stopping? F*ck no. Sex is beautiful, raw and erotic and I get off knowing I can have it with anyone I want . . . with the exception of her.
Aspen.
She walks into the club swaying those hips, instantly drawing my c*ck to attention. She’s pure perfection. That is, until she opens that mouth, drawing me in and for the first time in forever I want something more than sex. I want her and she hates it.
Things get dirty. Dirty is what I like; it’s how I live. But . . . she’s playing a game she can never win.
***Author's note*** Due to strong language and a very high amount of dirty, sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18. This is #1 in the Walk Of Shame series of novellas that will all be STANDALONE reads. If you're not into, cocky bad boys with filthy mouths and even filthier sex, then this series is not for you. If you are . . . then, come meet the dirty boys of Walk Of Shame.
☆✮ My Review ✮☆
*I received an ARC via the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!!*
#Loved this!! It was sweet, short, and ultra sexy!!#
--I now call dibbs on Slade, Cale, and Hemy!! They are MINE!!--
A man lost in his own darkness and who uses sex as a weapon to drive away his demons.
A woman with a secret who just might be the remedy he needs to see the light.
“She's different than other girls. She's more than just a f*#ck. She's addictive, but the right kind of addiction.”
“She makes me want to be a better man; makes me want to be the old me.”
“Because I love it when you touch me, It makes me feel as if I'm breathing. Makes me feel...alive.”
Can she be the salvation to his darkness? Will Slade overcome his past and fight for his future? And with parties breaking down all of their own rules and barriers, will their romance take flight? Or will hinderances deter them to ultimately walking away to the “walk of shame?”
Read and you will find out!!
“He's like an addiction. Everything about him just calls out for me; my body needing him to survive.”
“It was unstoppable and I knew I was screwed in the best way possible. I wanted to know more. I wanted to help ease your pain. I wanted to cure you.”
“This man completely owns me...I am almost willing to give him everything; not just my body, but my heart.”
My thoughts: It's like how I said in the beginning. This book was a fast and easy read and just captured my attention through and through.
The only downfall though is, since it was a novella, it didn't have a whole lot of plot. Otherwise, it was over all an extremely satisfying read and looks like to be a standalone for this couple I think.
I'm now tediously hoping for stories on Cale and Hemy though!! Pretty please?! Cale intrigues me and Hemy is just as bad as a man whore as Slade. I wonder what the deal is for both of them and would love to see them fall!!♥
My Rating:
-Overall : 8.5
-Plot : 8
-Writing : 8.5

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
I take a huge
gulp as my eyes once again land on him and oh
God, that ass.
His jeans are now hanging half way down
his ass, showing his muscular butt cheeks through his white boxer briefs. The
busty woman in front of him is desperately tugging on the front of his jeans,
working on pulling them down his body. I don’t blame her. I want to take them
off with my teeth.
Crap,
my mind is in the gutter.
Placing his hands behind her head, he
pulls her face down by his crotch as he starts grinding his hips up and down in
perfect rhythm to the song playing. It’s a slow, seductive song that makes me
think about sex. Yup, I’m definitely thinking about sex now.
Just as I think he’s about to actually
let this woman publicly suck his dick or something, he grips her by the hips
and pulls her up to her feet. Slowly, he makes his way behind her and his eyes
land on me and they stay there, locked with mine.
What
the . . . why? Stop looking at me.
I tug on the collar of my white blouse
and without meaning to I start fanning myself off. He smiles at this, knowing
exactly what he’s doing to me. He’s doing this on purpose.
Cocky
jerk.
Bending the girl over, he grips her hair
in one hand and pulls her neck back while grinding his hips on her ass. His
eyes bore into mine as he shakes himself out of his jeans and lets all of his
sexiness consume us. Yes, he is damn sexy and he knows it. That just pisses me
off more. His legs are thick and muscular; covered with random tattoos and
every muscle in his body is well sculpted.
Now that he’s facing me it’s easy to see
his defined chest and abs flexing as he moves with the music. The muscles
leading down to his briefs are staring at me, flexing with each sway of his
hips; calling out to be touched and licked. Oh
yummy. I want a taste . . .
Holy
hell, he’s in shape; like a fitness model. Plus, he has random tattoos
inked across his chest, sides, lower stomach and arms as well. Hell, he has
tattoos all over and it makes him even hotter. They glisten as the perspiration
forms on his skin.
He’s staring at me, while practically
fucking this girl with his clothes on. Still, I’m standing there watching as if
it were me.
What
is wrong with me?
I feel myself
start to sweat and get a tingling sensation between my thighs as he bites his
bottom lip and starts thrusting hard and deep while his eyes devour me. Well,
at least I imagine it would be really deep. I can’t deny that I bet it would
feel so good.
He must notice me sweating because he
laughs a little and steps away from the girl that is still bent over with her
ass in the air. Ignoring all the girls screaming for him, he starts walking
with meaning; unstoppable. With each step, he gets closer and closer to me.
My body is shaking just from his presence
and my breathing picks up. I hate my body right now.
His eyes are intense; telling me he wants
me as his. A part of me almost wants to give in just from that look alone.
My eyes slowly leave his eyes, searching
my way down his muscular body and landing right on his hard dick.
Oh. My. God.
You can see everything through his tight
briefs. The thickness of his dick and even the shape of its head. The whole
package. He’s so . . . hard.
Stopping in front of me, he smirks and
tilts his head down toward his cock. My eyes are betraying me. Damn bastards. They won’t move away.
“You know, it’s against the rules, but I would let you touch it if you wanted
to.”
Shaking my head, I pull my eyes away and
slam back the rest of my drink. This is my third one and I’m a lightweight;
probably not a good thing. I take a step back as he takes a step closer.
Clearing my throat, I ask, “Touch what?”
Reaching out, he grabs my hand and places
it on the V of muscles that lead down to his briefs, slowly sliding it down his
sweaty, slick body. “My cock,” he whispers.
My body clenches from his words and I
hate it. Yanking my hand away, I grab Kayla by the arm and slam my empty glass
down onto the table beside me. I need to get out of here.
