Guest Review: Cake – Lauren Dane

From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Dane comes the latest release from Cosmo Red-Hot Reads from Harlequin.

She won’t be satisfied with just one bite…

Art student-slash-bike messenger Wren Davis pursues what she wants. And what she wants now is Gregori Ivanov, rock star of the Seattle art scene. With his tattoos, piercings and sensual sneer, Gregori is the ultimate bad boy. Wren’s gotten to know the man beneath the body art, too—and it only makes her crave him more.

But Gregori loves women like he loves cake and champagne—intensely, but only for the moment. And after Wren experiences just how scorching sex with Gregori is, she’s determined to show him that just one taste won’t be enough…

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Wren is an art student and works part time for a delivery service. For over a year she has delivered packages to Gregori Ivanov on a weekly basis. Gregori is a moody but passionate artist who enjoys his bad reputation. These two form a friendship through shared interests and chemistry. At one of Gregori’s gallery shows, their friendship turns into more when he kisses her. One kiss is all it took to spark a wildfire of lust and sex that starts to burn out of control. When Gregori realizes he has developed deeper feelings for Wren, he freaks, thank’s to a disasterous marriage and a crazy ex-wife. Can Gregori get over his past and open himself up to a new opportunity to be happy with a woman? This was my first Lauren Dane book and overall i did enjoy it even though I’m not a huge fan of the length of novellas. I did enjoy both of the characters. Wren was sweet and easy to like while Gregori being a bit more tempermental still got caught on my “hottie” meter. There is plenty of hot sex when these two give in to their desires. I would have enjoyed seeing a bit more of the couple’s lives at the end. This was a super quick, fun and easy read.
