Publisher's Summary:
From New York Times best-selling author Lauren Dane comes the latest release from Cosmo Red-Hot Reads from Harlequin.
She won't be satisfied with just one bite.... Art student-slash-bike messenger Wren Davis pursues what she wants. And what she wants now is Gregori Ivanov, rock star of the Seattle art scene. With his tattoos, piercings, and sensual sneer, Gregori is the ultimate bad boy. Wren's gotten to know the man beneath the body art, too - and it only makes her crave him more.
But Gregori loves women like he loves cake and champagne - intensely, but only for the moment. And after Wren experiences just how scorching sex with Gregori is, she's determined to show him that just one taste won't be enough....
Members Reviews:
Very sweet story!
I really enjoyed this novella. Lauren Dane has a way of creating strong heroines who are likeable and confident in their own skin without having to be a bitch (excuse my language).
I liked Wren immediately. She's is sassy, smart and is following her dreams of being an artist. She's not into drama and playing games.
Gregori is a famous artist who has tattoos, piercings and a bad boy rep. He's built walls around his emotions and makes a point of having no personal attachments with women. That is until Wren enters his life and wants him for just him, not the famous artist.
What starts out as a nice comfortable friendship between Wren and Gregori, turns into a slow burn and off the charts chemistry with plenty of seriously hot sexy encounters. Oh yes, Gregori definitely has mad skills in the bedroom, among other places of course.
As their relationship progresses Gregori retreats and breaks up with Wren instead of dealing with his true feelings. He allowed his fears to push away the person he wants the most.
What was great about Wren was she knew what he was doing, confronted him about it and didn't settle for what little he was offering. She went on with her life yet never had Gregori far from her thoughts. I cheered when finally Wren took charge and forced Gregori to take a chance.
The ending is wrapped up nicely and left me with a smile
Fast read
Fast read. Easy to follow stand-alone. No violence or drag-you-down drama.
Standard plug and play, nothing memorable.
No desire to re-read this story.
Sexy
This was a nice sexy little romance. I love Wren's never give up personality! I love Lauren Dane! She is one of my favorite authors
Cake
My Thoughts:
I actually enjoyed Cake very much and it ranks somewhere between a 3Â and 4 for me but I'm going with 4â's because I enjoyed the liked the characters and the pace of the story.
For other readers, please note that Cake is not part of Dane's Delicious series it is part of the new Cosmo Red-Hot Reads series that several popular authors contribute to.
Cake is a quick read but it draws you right in because of Gregori and Wren. Poor Gregori. And Prentiss, his evil she-devil of an ex-wife, almost made him lose out on being with Wren. But, I love that that girl fought for her man.
