February Featured Novel - Studs for Hire: Woman In Charge

Yesterday we featured the first book in the Studs for Hire series by Sherry James, Woman On Top. Today we're going to featured the next book in this fun and steamy series, Woman In Charge.

Book Two centers around Casey, one of the female partners running Studs for Hire. She's never had any luck with guys and when she first meets Alex Roy--the stud she's hired to redesign a wealthy widow's mansion--she's already having a very bad day. Alex isn't too keen on women lately either, so they make a great match.

In addition to the top notch characters and loads of conflict, James managed to work in her love of Elvis into the storyline by having the wealthy widow requesting her mansion be redesigned as a shrine to the King.

There are just as many funny moments in this book as there are sexy moments--which is something that I love about James's books. You can check out my review of Woman In Charge here.

Feel free to stop by Sherry's website. She's got some new stuff coming out. And don't forget to pick up copies of the Studs for Hire books. You'll want to read them again as soon as you're done.

February Featured Novel - Studs for Hire: Woman on Top

My hot and steamy romance novel list could never be complete without mentioning Studs for Hire. In Book One of this series, Woman on Top, we are introduced to Sydnie, Casey, and Terri, three friends who start up a business where hunky handymen perform jobs for single women. I think I need to find me one of those. Oh wait, I'm married. Darn!

Each book in this series focuses on a different leading lady, and Woman on Top is Sydnie's story. When Trevor Vanden Bosch walks in the door and asks to become one of their Studs for Hire, Sydnie can't help but be skeptical and angry. Trevor did, after all, get the promotion that Sydnie deserved and broke her heart too.

Against her better judgment Sydnie agrees to take Trevor on, but there is more to this story than meets the eye. With well-developed characters, an interesting plot, a bit of humor, and some rather hot moments, Woman on Top is worth every penny.

Studs for Hire: Woman on Top by Sherry James--Book Review

Funny, sensual, and deliciously enjoyable Studs for Hire: Woman on Top is a sexy romance lover's dream.

Tired of being overlooked in a male-dominated business world, Sydnie Riley and her friends, Casey and Terri create Studs for Hire, a contracting firm loaded with sexy carpenters, electricians, and plumbers.

In walks Trevor Vanden Bosch, the guy who got the promotion that Sydnie deserved...and broke her heart. Seems he's down on his luck, having been fired from the advertising firm where he and Sydnie worked. Against her better judgment Sydnie gives him a job. But why does Syd find herself attracted to the man who deceived her? Has Trevor really changed? And is Sydnie willing to put her business and her heart on the line when she's not really sure she can trust him?

Woman on Top is a sinful pleasure. It hooked me from the first page and never let me go until the very last word. Then I wanted to read it all over again.

With such a title, you might be quick to dismiss this as a book with little substance, but you would be so wrong. Sherry James has taken great pains to thoroughly develop her characters and to push them to their limits. You ache for Sydnie as she muddles through her conflicting feelings for Trevor. There are moments when you despise Trevor, interspersed with moments when you're praying that he wins Sydnie's heart.

The cover art alone should be enough to convince you to buy it. The color scheme is nicely done, and I love the hammer and the heart pierced with a nail logo displayed against the black on top.



And the guy on the front isn't hard to look at either!

Woman on Top made me laugh and left me breathless. Funny, sexy romances don't get any better than this! This is going to be a great series.
