~**~ ARC Review: A Little Bit Like Desire (South Haven #2) by Brooke Blaine ~**~


***5 ‘Team SHOX’ Stars***

Ms. Blaine said things were going to start off with a bang...and dear lord lemme tell you
*fanning self* ‘bang’ is an understatement, because THAT was fuckhot and definitely set the tone for the rest of the book. Funny, hot and I mean SMEXY HAWT becase the sexual tension between Shaw and Trent never stopped throughout the entire book and the sweet and swoony was just...GAH, I swear my cheeks are sore from all the dopey grinning I was doing, this book had it all for me and I want more.

I adored Shaw in A Little Bit Like Love. ADORED. And this book just backed up all the reasons I adored him. Honest, blunt, sweet, charming, protective, can cook and is smexy as all get out. Add in the man is a tattoo artist and I’m just done. Trent was definitely a pleasantly hot surprise. Sweet, charismatic, talented and smexy with just the right blend of self confidence and vulnerability to make you swoon. This man was simply nummyness.

From the first time Shaw and Trent collided to where they ended up at the end of the book, their journey was just all kinds of goodness. It was smexy as hell (I know I’ve already said it, but it needs to be repeated) sweet and swoon worthy with a lot of heart and low on the drama and angst. It was really all about two people colliding, finding that they connected on every level and realizing that their futures could be intertwined if they wanted it to be.

As much as I adored Shaw and Trent aka SHOX, I cannot be remiss in giving props to Jackson, Lucas and Bash for the doses of friendship, heart, humor and sneakiness into the story that took it to the next level for me. I loved catching up with Jackson and Lucas and seeing how their relationship has evolved and Bash. Well, Bash is kind of everything and I cannot wait to get my hands on his book and see who is strong enough, and cunning enough, to capture his heart.

What if you had everything in the world you wanted...except the man you never knew you needed?

Shaw Jennings, the seductive, enigmatic owner of Body Electric Tattoo works hard and plays even harder. He’s built a life he’s proud of, and though that doesn’t include a significant other, he’s got plenty of sexy men to keep his bed warm at night. None of them have ever made Shaw sit up and take notice for long, though. But that all changes when a famous rock star walks through his door.

Trent Knox had the world in the palm of his hand as the lead singer of TBD, one of the biggest rock bands in history…until the day he walked away. A getaway to South Haven Island seems like the perfect place for Trent to find himself again and reignite his passion for music. But what he never expects is to find his muse in a six-five, tatted-up badass whose sinful smile he can’t get out of his mind.

The only problem? Trent’s a notorious womanizer, and Shaw isn’t interested in being someone’s experiment—muse or otherwise. But in a town as small as this one, Shaw is finding it more and more difficult to keep the persistent rocker at arm’s length.

As the tension between them builds, maybe it’s time to finally give in and get carried away with something a little bit like...desire.
