Review

  • "Nikky Kaye, girl, you kept me reading all night! Wicked hot, hilarious banter, and the STEAM... OMG... I need a shower now! When's the next book? I'll take it NOW!" -WSJ Bestselling Author Ilsa Madden-Mills
  • "You may read this because you like the author; you SHOULD read this because you are looking for something unique; you MUST read this for some really amazing smut!" -Isabelle morebooksthanlivros
  • "This sultry little page-turning duet captured my attention from the very first page, and held it intently until the last! Both stories pack a powerful and passionate punch, and it was darn near impossible not fall head over heels for these characters..." -Reds Romance Reviews
  • "I don't think that I was fully prepared for this story from reading the synopsis. And I don't mean that in a bad way at all. This book was very different from many of the contemporary stories that I typically read...If you like your books with plenty of sexy moments, drama and conflict, and heartfelt moments then pick this one up." -Novel Nerd Faction
  • "I had fair warning this was gonna be an over-the-top tropapalooza, so I was rubbing my greedy little hands together by the time I picked it up to read. Nikky Kaye did not disappoint! The second story was a bit sweeter than the first, but both were a whole lot of fun and had you cheering for two very hot HEAs." -Amazon Bestselling Author Sylvie Stewart
  • "A Rock and a Hard Place is our introduction to the kinky side of Nikky...where has it been? These characters set the page on fire from beginning to end. I guarantee you will be reaching for your special someone before you finish." -AJ Alexander

Nikky's books have been compared to "Gilmore Girls, but with sex," but she got hooked on romance when she used her allowance to buy Jane Eyre at age seven. She still has that copy, with the university bookstore price tag on it.

When not writing or parenting her twin boys, she spends most of her time sneaking in naps, overcommitting to DIY projects around her house and pretending to exercise regularly.

Annie's ninja skills are brilliant! Jake is gob-smacked by her... What a great fun read. This story has some sad bits but shines through with good humour and very sexy episodes! Whew! Love Nikky's writing - she is on my favourite list.

Dom and Evie with a little Jake mixed in were hot. But I must say Jake and Annie with a little suspense was smoking hot. Enjoyed both stories in this steamy romance.

Evie and her friend Annie drink too much one night and Evie ends up posting to sell her virginity online. The next morning she is filled with regret but decides to take a chance with the ad. One person stuck out because of how polite and respectful his reply was. Dominic needs an heir in order to inherit from his grandfather or he'll lose the family business and holdings. When she agrees to meet him its at his office and everything was going smoothly until she finds his brother is there listening in. Sparks fly between the three of them but she is meant for Dominic permanently. He wants more than just her virginity and won't stop until she agrees. Will Evie give in to Dominic and have his child? Can they make a relationship work with how they met?

Jacob is a single father but he is at the mother's mercy as to when he can see his daughter Stella. He is delivery an invitation to his brother's wedding to Evie's friend Annie when she surprises him by jumping him. She explains away that she mistook him for someone else but didn't tell him the truth. The next day her stalker has left another package for her at her apartment. This sends her to go to Evie and Dominic for a place to stay. What she didn't count on was walking in on them having sex in the kitchen and having Jacob catch her there too. Sparks fly between them and Jacob takes her away to talk about her stalker. He offers her a place to stay but soon they give into each other and have sex. Annie thinks its safe to return home but comes to see her mistake when her stalker gets her. Will Jacob be able to save her from her stalker? Can they make things work out between them?

This is an amazing book that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between the characters is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Two interlinked stories as one that described how two brothers find their HEA. The stories are hot so I guess it's good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Naughty little page-turner!
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2019
When Evie and her friend Annie have a few too many drinks one night they come up with this hair-brained idea to save Evie from financial ruin... she'll sell her V-card to the highest bidder! What sounded perfectly normal the night before becomes a scary idea the next morning, and it leaves Evie wondering what she just got herself into. That is of course until she gets an interesting email from a sexy business man that is willing to pay top dollar for a night with her. Which seems great at first, but she soon realizes after meeting Dominic that he has a little dilemma of his own that he wants help with... one that has the potential to cause some serious trouble, or give her everything she never knew she wanted!

Jake Stone doesn't do love or relationships, he is more of a love-em and leave-em kind of guy. He has seen the effects love can have on a person, and it doesn't sound like something he would willing sign himself up for...that is until he meets his new sister-in-law's best friend Annie. From the moment they bump into one another he starts to feel things he never knew were possible. But Annie is a complicated woman, one who doesn't do relationships either, and one who has her doubts that Jake can be a one woman kind of man. Not to mention she is busy avoiding a stalker... good thing Jake has the perfect plan to keep her safe!

This sultry little page-turning duet captured my attention from the very first page, and held it intently until the last! Both stories pack a powerful and passionate punch, and it was darn near impossible not fall head over heels for these characters... those Stone brothers are masters at stealing your heart! I've got to say this first time read impressed on all fronts. It had bits of drama and action to keep things engaging, heartfelt moments to tug on the heartstrings, and loads of steamy action that had the temperature rising!! If you like your stories a little on the naughty side, then I have a feeling you will love what you find between the pages of this one...it takes naughty to a whole new level!! Highly recommend!!

It is a good read... Four lives interwoven together making two beautiful stories.. both couples very different but lovable in their own ways.
Although, Dom and Jack are raised together they have their own insecurities and vulnerabilities.
Where Evie is sweet, cute, adorable... Annie is sassy, witty and adorable in her own way.
They were two completely different stories one was all cute and cuddly and the other made you all excited and riled up thanks to the stalker. Nevertheless, all four of them had to overcome their insecurities to have their HEA.😁
