Tessa Bailey is known for her dirty-mouthed bossy cops who we've all over-heated and melted for. Embarking into a new world filled with business men and women, she's made the heat get hotter!!
Holy smokes! Jonah and Caroline were yummy hot. Crazy hot. Flames burning up my kindle hot and making me take several cold showers hot. I really enjoyed reading a story where while there was instant attraction, the chase to win the girl was on for a good while. I loved being there with Caroline and seeing her struggle between attraction to Jonah and hesitation/confusion while being exposed to something way out of her comfort zone - it felt real. Jonah's struggle between wanting her, chasing her, needing her, and pushing her away captured my heart. I fell even harder for him with how responsible over her he felt - and how his desire to care for her was completely ingrained in him.
Tessa did an excellent job in cracking open the door to the bdsm world and merging her alpha dirty talkers into it without going over the top.
In sharing Owned By Fate with us, Tessa proves yet again why she's one of my top favorite authors - and will always have a permanent place there. She's yet to fail to deliver a good story to go along with all the spice in the sheets, or the bar, or the office, or the car.... I cannot wait to see who she brings us next!!
