~Excerpt~
Quinn
gasps, making a big show of being shocked before nudging Aunt Dee’s arm again.
“He’s hot, isn’t he? I know that look.”
I
raise my eyebrows. “What look?”
She
smirks. “The one that says I-just-met-a-really-hot-rich-man-that-totally-wants-to-jump-my-bones-and-I-just-might-let-him.
Trust me, Anna, I’ve had that look a few times myself.” She laughs. “So tell me
all about him.”
“Quinn,
I don’t really know him,” I say.
“You
spent four hours next to the man chatting. That’s longer than most first dates,
so spill, sister.”
I
laugh at her forwardness. “I hate to disappoint you, but I slept most of the
way.”
She
twists her lips. “You must be one hell of a sleeper to get a man that sprung
without much conversation. Come on, Anna. At least tell me his name.”
I
lick my lips as his face pops into my mind. “Xavier.”
“Oh,
rawr. That’s a definite hot guy name. Tell me more. What’s he look like?
Details, girl. De-tails.”
I
chew on my bottom lip. “He’s really tall, has really broad shoulders, tattoos
and he’s sort of…”
“Oh
my God, what? The suspense is killing me,” Quinn whines.
“He’s
famous,” I blurt out.
Quinn’s
eyes widen. “Who is he? If you say Xavier is Ryan Reynolds’ real name I will
wrestle you for his phone number.”
I
chuckle. “No, it’s not Ryan Reynolds. I would’ve probably freaked if I sat by a
celebrity I actually recognized.”
She
frowns. “So he’s not super famous, just a little famous?”
I
shake my head. “Oh no, he’s popular. I’m just not sure what for. He signed autographs
the entire flight.”
She
tilts her head to the side and her eyes drift up toward the ceiling. “Hmm. I
don’t know anyone famous by the name Xavier and I study the tabloids
proficiently, so he must be known by something else.”
“Does
Phenomenal X ring a bell?”
“Ring
it? It fucking smashes it! I can’t believe you didn’t know who he was! He’s
only the hottest man in wrestling, and the newest playboy to grace the cover of
all the magazines.” She tsks. “You really are the most sheltered human on the
planet. This needs to be rectified immediately.”
“And
how do you plan on making me worldlier?” I tease.
“Easy.”
She grins and the wicked twinkle in her eye scares me a bit. “You’re going to
start by sleeping with a known bad-boy.”
I
shake my head. “Oh, no. No way, Quinn. I don’t do things like that.”
~Review~
Michelle Valentine has done it yet again by writing
another spell bounding, riveting story. Phenomenal X is just that, it’s “Phenomenal.”
This book is one of Michelle’s best works to date, no lie. I love a book that
has a strong heroine and a broken but strong alpha male. When Anna first laid
eyes on Xavier I felt the instant sexual tension radiate from my ipad. Ladies
full warning, keep you vibrators fully charged because X will have your panties
drip, drip, and dropping, there’s something about Michelle’s alpha male
characters that will do that to you, she knows how to write them boy. Michelle
took her time writing this book and it shows so much so that once you start reading
this story you will not stop. Case in point, I couldn’t put this book down, I kept
saying “one more chapter” but it was so good I couldn’t leave it. Let me leave by saying that X has made his
way on my book boyfriends list. Excellent writing by Michelle, I cannot wait to
read the other books in the Hard Knocks series. Michelle you rock hard lady
