About the Book:

From up here on stage, I can see her. Even with her First Lady hair and Sunday school shoes, I can’t take my eyes off of her.

The music starts. I swing my hips to the thumping bass. Oh, so slowly I slip one button through a hole, then another, then another. I ease the black silk from my shoulders and toss it right toward her.

I watch her pale glossy lips form a big ‘O’ before she catches it like a major league baller. The flashing lights blind me. Between beats, I can see her blue eyes zeroed in below my waist.

I know what she wants. I give it to her. With a zip and a tug, the leather pants join the rest of my clothes. In my skin tight briefs, I dance just for her. With the last chord of the song, the stage goes dark.

I know when the lights come up again, another guy will be dancing in my place because this is my last time. I’m not doing this ever again. It’s too bad I didn’t get her name. I really liked that shirt. But not enough to go back and claim it.

If she wants me bad enough, she’ll have to find me.

Read an Excerpt:

“The shirt sailed toward the table. I dreaded it touching the alcohol that had spilled on the wood. Real silk wouldn’t survive it. So I stood and caught it in mid air. I was rewarded with a broad wink. I pulled the shirt to my chest, and I couldn’t help noticing the heady scent that rose from it. Nari glared at me. After sending a brief apology to the dry cleaner who was going to have to fix it, I balled the shirt up and pushed it deep into my lap.

Lyrics got suggestive. The tight ribbed black tank Rafe was wearing close to his skin, came off as well. I didn’t try to grab for it this time. I was already in for a stiff lecture.

Bumping and grinding, Rafe was butt down on the platform undulating to the beat, the tight leather pants obscuring nothing. The names of movie and sports stars blasted from the speakers. The top two buttons of his pants came undone. Hollywood’s female icons thumped with the bass. The zipper came down.

I knew what was coming. How could I not? I couldn’t look away. I could look all day. Looking was okay. Like the black and white video of the song, lights pulsed, throwing the club into black and white relief.

A quick black out, and the pants were gone. I must have missed the shoes and socks, because Rafe was gyrating on the platform almost as naked as the day he was born, save for some black boxer briefs shot through with silver threads.

Those threads were only on the front center, and back of the shorts, highlighting what was underneath. Before I knew it, he was letting his body go with the flow. It was a nice flow. His skin was golden, and bathed in a sheen of sweat. The lights cast blue, red, and ended in gold on him. Silence. A single beat. And it went dark again.

I didn’t care if Nari thought I was crazy. I clapped and hooted as loudly as his friends and those around me. The lights and music started again, but Rafe was gone.”

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

Taming the Bad Boy was an interesting tale between a woman who has the job all men fantasize about and a guy who is a stand-up comic. Daisy and a friend decide to do some market research for Daisy’s occupation. She wants her line of work to be more inclusive for all lifestyles. When she meets a group of men in the club, she’s uncomfortable to find she was attracted one of them. There were small sizzling sparks between Daisy and Raphael, but Daisy misinterprets which gender he’s attracted to after a chance meeting in a gay bar. What ensues is a strangely intriguing tale that includes Daisy falling deeper and deeper into the world in which she works, ultimatums from friends, and a man who really should be a whole lot smarter about who he charms into his bed. There is a lot going on in this book. Daisy has her own life and Raphael has his own life. Occasionally, they overlap.

This is one of the few books that, while I was interested in the premise, the first few chapters did not engage me as well I had hoped they would. Once the ball started rolling though, I was on board the Daisy and Raphael crazy train for the duration. I enjoyed most of the interactions between Daisy and Raphael and loved the friendship between Daisy and her best friend, Nari. This story contains the making of an unconventional couple. Daisy and Raphael don’t jump right into a romance and are extremely flawed. In fact, they tie for who’s messed up more.

The author’s world building and character development was done well. We see a very different Daisy and a very different Raphael by the end of Taming the Bad Boy. Parts of the book were a bit slow but overall, the pacing of the book was perfect – not to fast not too slow. There are situations in this book that may be uncomfortable to some readers. Most of the book is written well and likeable. I found the story flowed well and was easy to read.

I was given a copy of this book to read.
