Synopsis
When Miss Man-Eater… Raquel Adams is in desperate need of a media makeover. Her already floundering reputation is made worse by her recent antics, and she doesn’t seem to care. Raquel lives life on her own terms and doesn’t answer to anyone, least of all Clayton Cox, the guy charged with making her a media darling. His take charge attitude is a problem for strong-willed Raquel, but she can’t deny the attraction she feels toward him.

Meets America’s spin doctor… Clayton Cox is the boss, and damn good at his job. He’s hired to improve your reputation and does so by swooping in, saving the day, and moving onto the next one. But he can’t move one from his newest client. Raquel is maddening, and gorgeous enough to make him forget his rule of never getting involved with a client. But Clayton can’t forget what happened the last time he mixed business with pleasure. All’s fair in love and war. Raquel wants Clayton, and nothing is going to stand in her way, not even Clayton himself. He doesn’t know what hit him, and soon finds himself juggling between having to improve her reputation and feign off her advances. But Clayton’s determined to show Raquel who’s in charge at any cost, even if that means thwarting her seduction efforts. Will Miss Man-Eater change or ways? Or will Clayton become the latest victim entangled in her web?

Excerpt
She played with their combined fingers. “And what about us?”

“What about us?” He feigned ignorance.

“Well, what the hell was that when we first came in here? Because at first you barely acknowledged me, and then poof, my nipple’s in your mouth.”

He let go of her hand, rubbing it down his face. “Yeah, about that…”

“Don’t you dare apologize!” she squealed, poking him with her finger, sounding like a shrew.

He grabbed her finger. “I wasn’t going to apologize. I was going to tell you I don’t know what that was. It was like I couldn’t be around you all night without touching you.”

The grin spread slowly, giddy excitement spreading throughout her. “Seriously?”

He sat up and faced her so they were eye to eye. “I’ve never been more serious.”

Raquel wanted to believe him, to attack him until he couldn’t see straight, but there were too many doubts that continued to swirl through her head while she tried to process everything he’d said. “What about your rule ’no dating clients’ rule?”

He swallowed hard. “Let’s just say I’m going to have to trust you’re not playing me for a fool.”

“I’m not.” She held up two fingers. “Scout’s honor.”

He grabbed her hand, pulling her against him. He leaned down, kissing her lightly. “You were never a scout.”

She put her hand on his face. “Hell, no, but you like me a little bad.”


4 STARS

**I received an ARC for an honest review.**

Miss Man-Eater is a funny, sweet and super sexy read. I really enjoyed getting to know Raquel more in this book of The Misses Trilogy. Clayton is just what Raquel needs to really be who she is and not who she portrayed to be. I enjoyed the relationship between the two and I liked how it progressed.

There are still all of the other characters from Miss Congeniality and a few new ones that help this story become what it is. I liked the addition of Spencer (Clayton's friend) and Ainsley (Raquel's sister), I hope that their is more of their story in book 3. The way that this book ended I am looking forward to book 3. I want Clare's story and I want to know if she is finally going to move onto something that she truly deserves.

Let me give a little scoop on Clayton. I LOVED him and the way he was with Raquel. Some might think that he is too much of an asshole to her, but I think he is everything she needs and more. I like that when he is wrong and he knows he is wrong he isn't afraid to apologize. I also like that Raquel is the same way...well mostly ;) I also liked that their relationship was a pretty honest one right from the beginning whether it was something the other wanted to hear or not. Clayton was always straight with Raquel even though sometimes he would send mixed signals he always made sure to tell her where he stood. I liked getting the inside scoop on Raquel's character, because I knew she wasn't quite who she was made out to be. I am glad that she was able to move on from her past and let someone in.

I think this series is a good series to start if you like funny, sweet and sexy. They are quick to read, but in no way to they feel rushed.
