A Hot Mess (Red Light Fantasies Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 40 ratings

Jealousy's a real bitch, but so is his ex-girlfriend. Maxwell Penn is my lover, my boss and my Dom. He pushes me emotionally as well as sensually, in all the ways a girl should be pushed by the man she loves. Sure, some days, I still swing back and forth between wanting to strangle him and wanting to straddle him, but I wouldn’t give him up for the world. Oh, did I mention there’s talk of him taking me to a Swingers' Ball at a local lifestyle club? So yeah, our relationship is positively sizzling. At least, it is until Boudoir Fashion Week, when Max’s college girlfriend explodes back into his life, and everything goes south.

Giselle Dubois is tall, svelte, and so stunning that I feel the need to wear sunglasses whenever she’s around. Using her sensuality and intimate knowledge of Max's past, Giselle embarks on a mission of manipulation to acquire something Max "took" from her years ago, but it’s not just knowledge of his past she has in her arsenal. She knows my past. My family's secrets. The dark stain that has marred my family since I was a child. But Giselle isn’t the only threat facing us. There is another monster in our midst, one far more cunning and deadly.

Publisher’s Note: This steamy contemporary romance contains elements of power exchange.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Brandi Evans was raised by a caravan of traveling Gypsies. She spent her days learning the ways of her people and her nights lost in legends as old as time. Okay, not really, but that's way more interesting than the truth!

In reality, Brandi grew up the oldest child of an ordinary family. Grade school, middle school, high school. Nothing extraordinary happened until she left the nest. She joined the military, went to college, got married, and became a mom. And somewhere along the way, she discovered she liked to read—and write!—stories hot enough to melt eReaders.

    The second book in the Red Light Fantasies will continue from book one, His For the Taking. The story is complex with a great cast of characters, plenty of mystery and suspense, and will include a scene inside a BDSM club. The story has secrets, anguish, confusion, regrets, vulnerability, raw emotions, and life and death situations.

    Max and Bree are heavily involved but must keep their relationship a secret. While she works with him, they are professional, but after hours their relationship is Dom and sub. He has trained her in submission.

    “There’s no one else for me, Max. No one. It’s been you for years, and it’s still you. It’s always you. Always.”

    “We fit together, Bree, in every way. And I’m tired of hiding it from the world.”

    “I’m yours, Max, and you’re mine. Whatever happens to one of us happens to the other. If you hurt, I hurt.”

    The story is full of mystery, suspense, secrets, the past, and greed. With this year’s Boudoir Fashion Week, people from Max past will become front and center, and in the process they will try to cause a rift between him and Bree. “We all have secrets.”

    “Maxwell Penn may be the root of my greatest frustrations, but he was also the source of my greatest happiness.”

    With everything going on in the business world of Whitecliff International, trouble will be brewing, and Bree will be caught up in a nasty scandal from when she was a child. When the news media gets a hold of the story they will spin it as if she was the guilty party, rather than an innocent child. How will Max handle this, especially when his board of directors gets involved? Will he distance himself from her or will he protect her?

    “Do you promise to keep me safe?” – “Always”

    The story has the good, the bad, and the ugly of people—and especially the news media. They will try and make out as if Breeanne Jennings has been plotted to destroy Maxwell and Whitecliff Internations. While she is a victim, so is he, but how he handles the press makes him a hero in my eyes. Yes, he knows just how far he can push Bree into trying new things, especially with the BDSM community, but it is always done with her feelings in mind. He will teach her how to soar at Restrained Fantasies during a Swinger’s Ball.

    The chemistry between Max and Bree is undeniable and eventually will become open to the public. His love and support of her and her trust and commitment to him are perfect. The story does have voyeurism, bondage, BDSM scenes, and explicit sex scenes. Book number three will be the final in this series---All Maxed Out.

    “Broken and beautiful, he was the most precious person in my life—he was also the source of my greatest pain. And pleasure. He was everything I wanted, but he was also the one person capable of hurting me the most. He should be impossible.”

    Breanne Jennings and Maxwell Penn have been a couple for four months, and their romance was zizzling.

    At least it was until his college girlfriend tornadoes through during fashion week and weaved back into the life of her target Max.

    Giselle Dubois wants what Max took from her years ago. And nothing will stop her until she gets it. Giselle knows not only about Max's past but also about Breanne's and her families past. The secret that plagued Breanne since she was a baby.
    Then there is another danger lurking nearby.

    Will this destroy Max and Breanne or make them both stronger? Will Max be able to keep them both safe?

    I had a bit of difficulty with this book. There is a lot here, and it is written well, but for some reason, I had trouble connecting with the characters. So I had to mark this as 4 stars.

    Breanne and Max have a relationship that they hare happily building when Giselle (Max’s old flame) decides she wants to interfere. This is a well written story about how people’s past can come back to haunt them if they do not deal with it or are honest about it. This is romance, BDSM and suspense all rolled into one great story.

    Max and Breanne have sizzling chemistry and have been in a Dom/sub relationship. Things are good butvtheir pasts are coming back to cause, trauma, grief, misunderstandings and potential disaster and heartache. Will the truth come out and will their love be strong enough to survive? Hot, sexy, intense and compelling.
