Oh you know you love them. Those “bad
boys” of romance.
boys” of romance.
And now we’re celebrating them and all
their naughty deliciousness.
their naughty deliciousness.
Every yummy romance has at least one delicious bad boy. Whether he’s the villain or untouchable character, we’ve got to have him!
What if the bad boy were heartstoppingly handsome? What if his gorgeous smile, sinful ways, and notorious bedroom reputation made him the naughty boy?
Oh yeah…we’d love him even more!
Meet Aleksander. He’s a shapeshifting centaur, second only in command to that of the centaur queen. He’s handsome beyond belief with an arrogance to match. When he meets a female troll who isn’t interested in him, it knocks him for a loop!

“Look, unless you’re here on Her Majesty’s business, I’m busy.” She tilted her head and her little foot tapped the floor.
“You could say I am. What time—?”
“What are you, the Head Palace Guard or something?” Ella rolled her eyes and huffed out a laugh.
“Well, actually—”
“I’m booked for tonight’s sessions. I’ll have another in a few weeks. Do you want to be on the waiting list for that?” Tiny red-gold tendrils escaped the silken mass pulled back from her oval face. Her pen clicked and she poised her hand over a sheet of lined paper. “Name?”
He shrugged to hide his confusion. Why weren’t his charms working? Didn’t his battery recharge this afternoon? “Kempor Aleksander. Head Cen—”
“Aleksander Hedson. Got it. Payment will be due prior to your session. And, Al…?” Her smile lacked warmth. “Please don’t be late.”
Ella’s bluntness and the slaying of his name dropped his jaw.
She turned on her practical, low-heeled shoe and walked briskly to speak with Sasha, who waited in the rear of the café.
No woman in memory had ever tossed him aside like an unwanted toy. Why, he’d been dismissed quicker than a new recruit!

No one really knows my bad boys. I’m a geek and I love anime. I love the anti-hero, and so far, I’ve not found better examples than Lelouch from Code Geass and Light Yagami from Death Note. They are bad boys you really, really wish you could side with, but at the same time, you know their methods are completely wrong.
Anyway, thanks so much for the giveaway 🙂
