Book Description

Publication Date: October 19, 2010

By day, Lena Morrison is an ambitious grant writer. By night, she's an escort to some of Chicago's most successful men. Sex isn't on the menu—Lena's job is to provide her elite clients with comanionship and sparkling conversation. She enjoys the extra income, but even more, Lena loves the empowering feeling of being appreciated for her beauty and her brains.

When tycoon Roderick Brand hires Lena as his date for a private party, their electric attraction leads to the most erotic night of her life. Incredible as the experience is, she vows not to mix work and pleasure again. But Roderick is relentless. His irresistible proposal: three weeks fulfilling all his fantasies, in exchange for a million-dollar grant that will guarantee Lena a major promotion.

Lena can play that game. She'll give him the hottest, wildest sex he's ever had, then she'll walk away, leaving him aching for more. But when it comes to desire, rules—and hearts— are easily broken. And the best-laid plans have a way of working out in ways neither could expect….

Ohh ladies!!!!!!!! All I have to say is "have mercy" and "umph, umph, UMPH" about this book!!!! You are going to need a fire hose, a bucket of ice, a pitcher of lemonade, an ice cold Coke, a mountain of snow and any other cold item you think of when you read this book! It starts off hot and gets even hotter! Oh, and you're going to need a tissue or two because it's also a beautiful love story. That's all I'm going to tell you. No spoilers here!

Do not waste any time buying this book when it becomes available. Make sure you have some uninterrupted time when you crack open this book because you are not going to be able to put it down. Send the hubby and kids somewhere for a few hours and get your read on! When the hubby or significant other gets back, if you have kids, put them to bed because you are going to want to play! Men will be writing Maureen thanking them for this book!

I have to say Kimani made the right choice choosing Maureen Smith to launch the new Kimani Nights line! She will be a hard act to follow.

Okay all you Maureen Smith's fan out there, this one is for us. If this is your first by her, you'll definitely want to read her previous books.

"Whatever You Like" is so HOT! I had to fan myself after reading the sex scenes. Lean and Roderick had an amazing chemistry. From the first chapter to the last, I was hooked. Their week in Tokyo..., omg, the shower scene! Oh yeah, every women should have a man like Roderick. Their goodbyes at the airport, so sad. I used half a box of Kleenex, I was so sure Roderick was going to propose at that moment. I find this book similar to "Taming the Wolf". Overall this book is fantastic, a keeper. Buy it you'll not be disappointed. I can't wait to read "Tempt Me At Midnight" due 12/10.

As reader I know we have all at some point in our reading has pick up a book and was just BLOWN AWAY by that book and yes it can be more than one book. Well for me that is how I felt reading this book. If you are looking for something HOT HOT HOT then you have found it. If you read Taming the Wolf and you though that book was HOT then this one is HOTTER. By day Lean Morrison is a Grant writer but at night she works as an escort service. Roderick Brand man oh man what a man that song salt & pepper that title said it all. This man just make you melt and Lena was no exception. Her rule never to cross the line with a client well when she saw him walk out of that hotel and to the she was gone..............

The Limo, the shower the swimming pool and trust there is so so much more with this couple. This is a book that best read when find a good spot with something tall and cold to drink, also keep some tissue beside you as well. A lot of husband and SO's will be happy as well once you finish reading this book.

When Kimani decided on a new line they couldn't have pick a better author to start it off with and with our help and a lot of praying this line will be off the chain. Way to go Kimani Nights.
