Blurb:

Out of sight, out of mind. Or so I thought, but it turns out an old, dog-eared book with contents so filthy and so depraved that I’d been forced to hide it after reading, has sank deeper into my erotic subconscious than I’d ever imagined. Luckily though, Jacob is up for exploring the new side of me that has risen to the surface after all these years.

In a whirlwind of wanton adventures that push us to the limits of our sexuality, we begin to re-discover what it once was that had us screaming with pleasure and how to accept that nothing will ever be the same again between …

Interview with Lily Harlem + FREE story

Thanks to review requests we sometimes discover little gem of stories and new favourite authors and that’s what happened to me when I had the chance of crossing paths with Lily Harlem‘s first novel in her steamy hockey players series, Hired.

I loved her latest release That Filthy Book so much that it became a favourite book of 2012 (you can read my detailed review here)! So I am very happy that I could sit down with Lily and get to know her and her novels better. Please join me in welcoming Lily Harlem to Book Lovers Inc!

Blurb:

When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet, seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue eyes home.

Except there’s something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower, is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she’ll turn to dust if he touches her. It’s not until Dez’s father shows up, wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez realizes there’s more to this boy—and her father’s “law firm”—than she realized.

Kale has been a prisoner of …
