Reese King: Olympic medalist, underwear model, Greek god.
His body is chiseled from rock, sculpted by the weight room, and refined by water.
On a daily basis his skin is completely bare for everyone to see, tan and defined, only covered up by a minuscule piece of spandex. There is no denying his sex appeal.
I hate to admit it, but I’m head over heels infatuated with him.
There is one HUGE problem though. His achingly gorgeous abs, inked up arm, and cocky swagger belong to my boss, the high-profile, reality star bitch from hell and certified heinous human being, Bellini Chambers.
What I think is going to be an easy job assisting a glorified wench turns into a cluster f*ck of epic proportions.
Sweet guy wrapped up in a swimmers body is all it took to make me want to dive head first into Reese! The banter is off the charts in this book. I giggled out loud quite a few times, especially with Paisley. She was a fantastic leading lady. She was mouthy without being over the top and you find yourself seeing traits in her that would make you want to sign up as her best friend. I loved racing for gold along with Reese as much as I loved racing toward love with Reese and Paisley! The build up of the cat and mouse chase between them was sexy as hell. Who doesn't love a good slow burn? One thing I do want to burn, is Bellini. Christ on a cracker Bellini is the most annoying character EVER. To the point where I almost skipped chapters that I knew where in her voice because she was beyond rude to disgusting levels which took away from the story for me a bit, but I would still recommend this book because the writing is good (I mean she made me HATE Bellini with every fiber of my being) and the entertainment value was still there and I look forward to hearing more from the characters I did like. There are some swimmers that I just know have medal worthy stories to share.

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if "It's Raining Men" starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing... enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!
