Billionaire Bad Boys: Rich, Powerful and sexy as hell.
Derek West rose from poverty to take the tech world by storm. He’s sexy, confident and has no problem making a play for the opposite sex. He never anticipates that the one woman who has him going down hard, is going to make this bad boy work for what he wants … and needs.
Going Down Hard is a second chance chance romance. Derek was ‘the help’ to Cassie’s family. He always had a crush on her until he hears her and her friends speaking callously about him. A few days later he leaves for college, and for 11 years he hears nothing of Cassie. Cassie goes off to college as well, and in those 11 years she finishes school and begins working for her family’s communication empire.
Cassie’s dad is a misogynistic jerk. Cassie has dragged her family company into the 21st century when her dad would have just let it crumble. He thanks her by naming her brother as his successor even though Spencer has no interest in the company and has been partying around Europe for years. Then, he kicks Cassie out of the guesthouse so Spencer can live there. Yeah, he is a douche canoe of the highest order.
Derek is obviously hesitant to meet with Cassie. However, he quickly realizes that she is sorry, and she is HOT. He thinks that spending some time with her and sleeping with her will “get her out of his system” so to speak. We all know how that goes!
The story is light and entertaining. If you are looking for a quick, steamy read, Going Down Hard is a great pick!

Going Down Hard
I do have one of her books on tbr pile. I got for free. Hopefully I will enjoy it.
Her stories are all short and steamy! They are usually pretty funny too! Her Hot Zone series is older but I loved it!
