Power Play

[Cocktails and Books]

Oh MY!! Selena Kitt's "Power Play: The Complete Collection" left me in a puddle on the floor! I really, really, REALLY enjoyed it. I've only read two other works by Ms. Kitt, and while they were good, I wouldn't have classified them as GREAT! Well...I'm not even sure if "great" is the proper word to describe this anthology. I had read "Donnie and the Maid", but I didn't realize that it was part of a series. When I discovered that it was, I eagerly snatched this up so that I could read the others. WHEW!! Talk about singed fingers from the heat eminating from my Kindle! The premise of the stories is a woman falling for men in some sort of power over her, and it's all so sexy!

Before I go into the name and idea of each story, I must confess to finding men in powerful positions to be extremely hot. It's the way they carry themselves, the way they speak, they way that they can capture a room with just a look. Every single one of these stories has a man who does all that and more.

Kelsey and the Executive: Due to not doing the laundry that week, Kelsey has run out of "acceptabe" office attire. Needless to say, what she wears to work creates a bit of a fuss. Soon, she begins getting naughty emails from a secret admirer, and the steamy fun begins.

Katie and the Dom: Katie has been doing some reading, and she realizes that she's a submissive. She meets her dream Dom during an unfortunate situation, but things start to turn around. Can she find her happily ever after with an extremely alpha Dom?

Emily and the Priest: This was my favorite story in the whole bunch. I think it was because of the ultra taboo subject matter. Melissa and Father Mark share a common love of art, and they feel a closeness that may not be appropriate, but can they fight it? Nope :-) SO sexy!

Ivy and the Cop: Ivy's stuck. Her car has died, and so has her cell phone. It's 2:00 am, and while she's hoofing it, she sees a car headed toward her...a police car, and who's driving? Her high school sweetheart. First, there are fun and games, and then there's some trouble. Rescue has never been this delicious.

Bailey and the Professor: This one's my second favorite of the bunch. Every girl gets a crush on a teacher once in their lives. Right? Chemistry is getting in the way of Bailey's dream career. Professor Jacobs has tried everything to help her, but she just can't seem to get it. After something amazing happens, the Professor has a brilliant idea. Talk about chemistry! WHOO!

Jodie and the Billionaire: I am helpless against a good billionaire story. Especially if he's handsome and sweet, along with a hint of danger. What better location than Las Vegas to meet the man of your dreams?

Donnie and the Maid: Donnie and his wife are divorced but share custody of their daughter. When the ex learns that Donnie is a less than satisfactory housekeeper, he hires a maid...who happens to have gone to his high school. She has certain needs, and Donnie is more than willing to meet them.

I highly recommend this anthology. It's perfect for a nice, relaxing evening at home, and an extremely HOT night in the bedroom. Trust me on this one!
