Rich, sexy and volatile, Sloane Michaels has a dark agenda that keeps his heart on ice. His extreme wealth gives him the control he craves and his skills as an ex UFC fighter the tools he’ll need to extract his ultimate revenge. But when the woman he never believed he’d see again crosses his path, Sloane is caught between the vengeance he needs and a sexual conquest he craves.

Kat Thayne has been in survival mode for six years, hiding behind the sweet creations for her bakery. But when a random carjacking brings her face-to-face with her darkest fears and hottest fantasy, Kat is forced out of hiding and offered a dangerously passionate proposition. One she knows she isn’t strong enough to refuse.









BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:


Sloane Michaels 

Sloane Michaels 

Sloane Michaels 

Remember that name.

You are going to want to read this series.

Giddy Up!

Jennifer has written a small book that packs a punch. The Proposition felt like a full length novel.

Jennifer doesn’t waste her words.

Kat has her own demons she is fighting in the form of her own parents and her ex fiancĂ©, David. Her painful limp is a result of her relationship with David, only she has no recollection of the event that put her in hospital, in such a damaged state. 

She turned back to the cab interior. “I need to get in.” 

“That’s usually how it is done,” Sloane assured her. 

“People do it all the time.” 

“Right.” She frowned. “I thought you went home hours ago.” 

Ah, there she was, coming back online. “I rarely do the expected.” 

She sucked in her lips and blew out a breath. “I bet you could get in the back of a damn cab.” 

He leaned against the side of the idling cab. “I don’t know why I would. I have two cars, plus a limo. Getting in a cab seems redundant.”



Dr David can come across as a bit creepy and you will find yourself drooling over the dead smexi Alpha male, Sloane, ex UFC fighter, self made gajillionaire.

Sloane Michaels has a slew of 60 plus SLAM Gyms, yet, what I found refreshing was I kind of forgot he was a billionaire. He did not wear the badge like other billionaires we read in books. Sure he has the limo, but he didn’t carry around security and act all billionairey.

He is his own security. The guy is a fighting machine, who knows how to control himself and has earned a living outside of the fight. 

But...is he playing with fire with a revenge that he needs to deliver?

She looked up at him. “You’re blunt, aren’t you?” 

Pleased that she hadn’t snapped at him to let go of her, he steered her towards his car. “In most cases, bluntness works.” 

“And in other cases?” 

Opening the door , he waited until she slid in and said, “I do whatever it takes to win.” 


There is a lot more to Mr Sloane, apart from the near to 7ft of man mountain than 6ft of man mountain. The dude is ALPHA served up on a silver platter for us all to drool over. 

Grab your bibs , you will need them when you get through his proposition he has for Kat, his new plus one.

I think we will all be waving our arms in the air shouting, ‘YES PLEASE.’


“I want to see you , Kat.” 

She sucked in a breath. “you just said you don’t date.” 

“I don’t .” He took a sip of his coffee. “I plus-one.” 

She was familiar with the concept of plus-one, but not his context. “That differs from dating how?” 

“I’m busy. I don’t have time for complicated relationships and expectations.” His voice was pure business, then downshifted into a husky note. “But I like sex.” 

“Huh, who would have guessed?” He oozed sex and danger like other men sweat. 

“But I do have a lot of social obligations. It’s simpler to find a woman I have chemistry with and make her an offer. She’ll attend functions with me as needed. In return, I’ll give her something she wants. And we have sex.”



He sat up and regarded her for long seconds. “Don’t mistake who I am, Kat. I want you, and while we’re together, I will focus on both our sexual pleasure with the same intensity that I focus on success. But it’s temporary and only when convenient. I don’t want any misunderstandings.”



I think Sloane is going to find it harder to stick to his strict rules of what a plus-one entales.


“You’re just full of surprises, baker girl. You are so damn hot.” He closed his eyes his throat working a long swallow. Recovering, he said, “You’re going to test my limits of self-control.”



Catching her hand, he linked their fingers and pulled her closer. “ I don’t like you building walls between us. It makes me determined to kick them down.” 

Lordy the Alpha things that come out of this lads mouth. I have all these quotes, and I was like...nah....I can't quote that, lol *blushes*

Trust me Jennifer has written Sloane with mad skills in the smexi male department.  


“Just a kiss, Kitten.” 

“Kitten?” No one called her that. 

His mouth curved. “You’re skittish wanting my touch, but afraid. Deciding if you want to claw me or purr for me. Like a kitten.” 

She lifted an eyebrow. “What if I claw you?” 

“Bring it, baby. That just means you want me to tame you until you purr.”




“Don’t look away. Tell me to fuck off if you want, but don’t look away.”



This lad is ALPHA with a capital A. 

There is more to this story. 

More to Kat's story. 

There are demons lurking in both of their pasts.

Jennifer will capture you within the first few pages , the excitement and the * fan one self*  moments will leave you wanting more.

Possession releases May 28th. I will be lining up for that one.

I read this in one sitting. It is not a long read, but it is a very satisfying read even though you don’t have a finish at the end of this book. It is more of a grab the next book to continue, if that makes sense.


What I want to know is would you 'tap out?'

BOOK REVIEW - POSSESSION by JENNIFER LYON - THE PLUS ONE CHRONICLES # 2 - EROTIC CONTEMPORARY

By: Jennifer Lyon
Published By: Jennifer Lyon
Released : Available Now
Details: Kindle for review from author.

RATING: 4.5 SLOANE MEGA ALPHA STARS!

Blurb: Goodreads

Savagely sexy billionaire Sloane Michaels ruthlessly controls his life and everything in it. Even his sex partners are carefully negotiated plus-one arrangements, including his latest, the fiery bakery owner, Kat Thayne. But Sloane’s control is challenged when his mentor becomes seriously ill, and his need for Kat, his need to possess her at all costs, rivals only his single-minded goal of vengeance for the murder of his sister.

After surviving an attack six years ago, Kat Thayne escaped her fears in the protective world of her beloved bakery. Then Sloane Michaels storms into her life, making her feel beautiful, strong and sexy. Yet as Kat pushes her boundaries and uncovers a dangerous secret in her past, Sloane’s controlling side emerges. Worried that Sloane will possess her mind, body and soul, Kat fights to keep her hard won independence. But just as Sloane demands her complete surrender, she discovers he has a dark side that could destroy them both.


BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

“I’m going to be out of the damned country. You will be out of my reach. And right now, I’m not liking that shit. Not one bit. You got a dickhead ex--who I suspect has fucked with the wrong people and you already got caught up in that once. It is not happening again. It is not.” His teeth snapped together, and every muscle and tendon swelled to hulking menace.


And that everybody is one gorgeous Alpha male named Sloane Michaels , ex UFC fighter, owner of over 60 SLAM gyms and a man with vengeance on his mind.

He is protective, has the strength of a Malley bull and a big heart when he lets Kat see behind the man who propositioned her for his plus one.

Kat is really starting to stand on her own two feet, she is growing as a character and she has business aspirations for Sugar Dancer her bakery and she isn’t going to let Sloane help her. This is her thing.


“Sugar Dancer is everything to me. And I’m going to build it into something bigger. Better.”


The previous plus ones may have wanted something from Sloane, but Kat knows that she is just his current plus one, no matter how much she wants to be more. She won’t take anything from Sloane but his body for as long as he wants her.

Is Sloane on the same page?

“We’re in too deep.”

No shit. But Kat had trusted him right down to her tears. His little fighter had a secret weapon -- honest tears that tore through every defense he had to get a chokehold on his heart. “Maybe, but we’re in it together. And right now, that’s what matters.” Way too much. Kat mattered too much.

This was never supposed to happen.



Is he starting to feel more?

Kat is turning into a bit of a tiger and wanting more from her bedroom time with Sloane.

Any sex with Sloane was good sex. Hot sex. Off the charts... but part of her wanted to let go and push the limits.

Kat gets a bit cheeky, pardon the pun.

Will she tap out?

Dr David is still being Mr Creepy and hiding a more sinister side to his life.

Marshall, Kat’s brother is the little surprise in this installment, we learn the lad isn't quite like the rest of her family.

Sloane’s mum needs a stinky dead fish slap from me!

Big time!

And Drake, I fear he is going to make me cry. Love the guy. He has such a positive attitude to the negative his life has become. I can see Kat getting in deep with Drake too. 

“How do you feel about cherry popsicles?”

His eyes lit up. “You bought some?”

“Yep. If you try a few bites of some rice with chicken in it, they’re all yours.”

Drake leaned slightly to make a face at Sloane. “Hear her? The popsicles are mine.”

“What are you, five?” Sloane stuck the promised treats in the freezer.

“I’m the man who can kick your ass if you touch my popsicles.”

“Bring it, Vaughn.”



Sherry and John are great additions to the story line. I like watching Sloane bring Kat more into his inner circle. 

His girl, as Drake had called her, had a kindness backed up with steel that took his breath away. “You’ve done so much for him. I’d never had asked this of you.”

“I like him. This wasn’t a hardship, he’s an interesting man.” 

Sloane is bending his own rules.

Will Sloane risk Kat’s heart for vengeance?

Will he risk his own heart for vengeance?

Another uber smexi read with a most stunning male lead who knows how to make your toes curl.... and the words that spill from his lips.

* fans one self * 

I’m all fired up for Obsession due for release September 24th 2013. 

I fear I will need a tissue for this one.

Michelle

Sloane Michaels is obscenely rich, jaggedly handsome and obsessed with love and vengeance. But he can only have one, and it’s tearing him apart. The fiery baker who resurrected his heart or retribution for the twin sister who was his best friend his only family. But when Kat’s life is threatened, Sloane is forced to make a choice. Will he kill the one who murdered his sister or die to protect the woman he loves?

Kat Thayne can’t bear to watch the obsession for revenge destroy the man she adores. She knows she should run from him and never look back. But when she becomes a target for a stone cold killer, Kat has nowhere else to turn. She goes to Sloane for help, and in an instant she’s swept back into his world…and his bed. But as the fiery passion consumes them once again, and Sloane’s addiction to vengeance resurfaces, Kat is forced into the decision of a lifetime.
