Book Description

Series: Kimani Romance | Publication Date: January 1, 2009

Charlie Masters, playa extraordinaire, has no plans to change his heartbreaker ways. Then some bad news from his doctor gives him pause for regret...and six months to make things right with all the women he's wronged. Most don't believe him; a few are cooking up revenge; and one has a knockout sister offering him a taste of heaven.

Gisella Jacobs is busy launching her new shop, Sinful Chocolate, when delectable Charlie knocks at her door. Her friends warn that he's trouble, but his kiss is richer than her finest Belgian cocoa, his touch as velvety smooth as her lightest truffle. And when something so wrong feels so right...how can a woman resist?

Charlie Masters was a sex them and leave them kind of guy but never deceived the women that he wanted more. A few lied about having a sexual ecounter with him and hated him anyway. His frat brothers give him a surpise birthday party and the cake is made my a new baker by the name of Gisella Jacobs. She is instantly attracted to Charlie after seeing him walk in his party. They are introduced and Charlie is smitten too. Just when they get together, a scorned woman from his past takes steps to destroy him and his relationship with Gisella. You won't believe what she does. Now I wonder if their will be a sequel to this story because of the actions of the scorned woman. Great story from the first page to the last.

I love a book that makes you feel multiple emotions: I laughed, I cried, I was mad, I was happy. Charlie Masters turned his life around when he thought the end was near. This book is a must read for all of the romance readers out there. It was steamy, sexy and erotic. Let's just say, I want the recipe for one of Isabelle cakes! Ms. Byrd never disappoints.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOO GOOD, December 29, 2008

Charlie Masters is a man after my own heart. After he found out about his illness he really tried to change his ways especially meeting Gisella and she could cook to. This was all that he really needed. She fell in love with him because of the special way that he treated her.(by not sleeping with her on the second date).. It is very good and touching story. I read it in one and a half days. I hope that everyone who is Adrianne Byrd fan will buy this book.
