Intensity by C.C. Koen

I chose to write about my favorite book boyfriends which reveals a little about the romance stories I love.



                            #1 BBF: MAVERICK HART

His name alone gives me the shivers. Reminds me of Maverick from Top Gun all the way. This guy is balls-to-the-wall tough, dirty-mouthed, and a supreme alpha. This novel also happens to be one of my favorite top reads. It resonated with me so much, I actually wrote the author an email. You can read more about that message at my website: www.cckoen.com. Refer to the blog page, where I post monthly book recommendations. Only my top picks make it.

#2 BBF: TACK ALLEN

I have to be honest, Motorcycle Man was the first MC book I ever read, and Tack Allen was my all-time favorite BBF, until he got bumped by Maverick. I seriously had a huge crush on Tack and still do. Kristen Ashley gave him a classic MC attitude that I couldn’t help but crush on. There is something so addictive about a man who is brash, but also has a sweet intrinsic side that comes out at the most unexpected times. I loved everything about this book, and it’s not one to miss.

#3 BBF: DEX LOCKE

Ugh! I hated listing Dex as #3 and not #1. I loved this guy. He owns a tattoo shop and is also in a MC. Since I have two tattoos it was automatic—love at first read. Really though, this guy is written so realistically, you will think you are the heroine in the story and taking part in each exchange. He has a total bad attitude that he wears 24/7, but it won’t turn you off, because he gets just as good as he gives. So don’t miss this book. It’s a must read!

#4 BBF: KAYNE DOBRESCU

I am such a sucker for the bleeding heart kinda guy. Kayne Dobrescu is definitely that, and he also happens to be a police officer. A hot guy in a uniform is another weakness of mine. This man though, is opposite of my other top three BBFs. Kayne is suffering from a horrific loss (no spoilers here). He’s also beautiful on the inside and out, making this story a must read.

#5 BBF: WADE CORDELL

http://www.roxannestclaire.com/romanticsuspense/romanticsuspense.html

Roxanne St. Claire hooked me on romantic suspense novels. The Bullet Catchers series was one I could NOT put down or read fast enough. She is another author I sent an email to. There aren’t many, in fact she is the only other author I have written to. Some books just hit you right in the heart, and this one did that for me. Wade Cordell is a sweet, southern, quiet guy that will steal your heart. I’d love to have a Wade in my own life. Hey! A girl can dream.

What would you do to improve your life?

Twenty-one-year-old Serena Thomas is faced with a tough decision. Unable to get ahead of debt and loneliness since her grandmother’s death she finds a new job, placing the sheltered virgin in an underground escort business. She tells herself it’s just a temporary life choice, but destiny has a different plan. She meets a mysterious and gorgeous man, who happens to be her new boss. Will Serena fit in or will she be left all alone again?

Lincoln (aka: Linc) Jefferson has an unusual life. He established The Lounge, an exclusive escort club for very personal reasons. A place where the women say who, when, and what type of sex they’re willing to have. The escorts possess all the power and the money. It’s a business Linc guards at all costs. Trying to maintain the secrecy is a constant challenge and one that’s tested when he enters into a relationship with Serena. She tempts him unlike any woman, even though he’s surrounded by beauty on a daily basis. The more time they spend together the harder it is for him to keep his secrets. Will Serena stand by his side or will she abandon him?

Sparks and passion fly, taking these two on a journey neither could have expected.

Excerpt

I turned toward the frameless picture windows lining the entire exterior wall and was presented with a breathtaking, unobstructed view of the harbor. Smack dab in the middle, behind an antique mahogany desk, stood the tallest, most impressive man I’d ever seen. The black suit he wore matched the surroundings, professional and sleek. The top three buttons on his white shirt undone, dark sprigs of hair peeked through and begged for my attention.

As I got closer, his eyes scanned me from head, to chest, to hips and up and down my long legs at least three times, resting on my ruby-red tiptoes.

Ha! Two could play at that game. Using the exact pace he did, I snapped mental pictures of every God given, Mr. Universe muscle. A wavy black ponytail, pulled tight at the nape, crested his wide shoulders and dipped to mid-chest, bringing my journey to a momentary pause. A taut dress shirt molded to his pecs became an instant favorite and preference I didn’t know I had. As I gravitated lower, the desk impeded my view, coming to rest at his waist and a nondescript silver belt buckle. My eyes drifted back up, wishing I could see more, but his tailored jacket without a hint of lint on it kept him hidden. Still, from what I could take in, the man had sin engraved all over him. 

I stopped in front of his desk and realized my earlier assessment of him had been right. My six five in heels, shrunk to five feet the way he towered over me by several inches. “Linc?” The wispiness of my voice made me cringe. Way to go, Serena.

His answer, one sharp nod. In the corners around each eye, little wrinkles appeared as he took another long journey over my body. Knees locked together, I tried hard not to fidget. “I’m Serena. Mylaynee said my interview was at twelve thirty. I’m a little early. I didn’t mean to interrupt if you were in the middle of something.” Damn, there I went, rambling. Yeah, that would have him eating out of my hands.

Linc rounded the desk, coming toe to toe.

"You’re a virgin."
