Vanilla Twist by CJ Ellisson

Heather thinks she has it all—an interesting lover, a dream job, and a new wardrobe to match her take-charge attitude. But everyone has a past, and when Heather confronts hers at work she’ll be hard-pressed to hold onto her newfound confidence and resolve. Does she trust Tony enough to let him help her or will she tackle the issue on her own?

 

Still intrigued by the young woman and the multiple layers she presents to the world, Tony begins to change his life, too—for what he hopes is the better. He quit his high-powered career to find peace in a less stressful day-to-day existence. Desire for Heather still invades his every waking moment, and when trouble threatens their sexual explorations he makes the hardest choice of his life. One he may soon regret.

Sunny's Review:

 

The first book I ever read by C.J. Ellison was Vanilla On Top and I can honestly say she made an instant fan of me. She took the normal alpha male and turned it around. I loved the story and if you have not read it you should. This book picks back up with Heather and Tony. Again, I love them and the story and this book was just as hot as the first. You get to see them going from just benefits to trying to make a real relationship. It was almost an after the happily ever after situation. LOVE IT! Both of their pasts come back to haunt them and you get to see how they deal with it. Trust me when I say the cover is awesome and I can't say anymore because you might think less of me...or know way too much about me...

 

I am giving this book 4.5 stars out of 5 and if you need a hot read go get this book. If you haven't read Vanilla On Top go get that one first. The other book in this series is Avoiding Mr. Right. Get that one too. You can't go wrong with C.J. Ellison!!!

Avoiding Mr. Right by C.J. Ellison

Synopsis:

Carla Johnson thinks issuing orders to a lover will keep her heart safe and leave her in charge of her own destiny. Afraid for Carla’s future, her best friend Heather implores her to change her self-centered ways, handing her a list of love life mistakes to steer clear of:

1. Casual Sex
2. Friends with Benefits
3. Avoidance of Intimacy

Carla ignores the list—unwilling to face she might have a commitment problem. Until she invites a co-worker to her place one night. She instantly regrets the hum-drum sexual encounter and discourages the accountant from pursuing her.

So you may remember that I read Vanilla on Top a while back. That was the first book in the A Walk on the Wild Side series. I am going to be honest...I am loving these books. There were several times in this book when my jaw dropped to the floor and it took me FOREVER to pick it back up.

I was not looking forward to this book b/c I didn't really care for Carla in the first book. I was not really sure about her in the beginning of this book either. She comes across as being annoying and kinda slutty but as you read you get to see that she really wants to make something of herself and cares about her career. She also donates her time and energy to a great cause so you forgive some of the abbrassiveness you see at first. Carla is very clear that she is not going to have a relationship with Andrew. He is a "boring" accountant and she wants some adventure. 

Andrew has been watching Carla for a while and can tell that there is more to her than meets the eye (yes I love Transformers!). He realizes that even she doesn't know what she really wants. He works really hard to make her realize that he is not just some boring accountant and they can actually have a VERY satisfying relationship!

I totally love Andrew. I think he is awesome and I don't see how Carla resisted for so long. He is demanding but at the same time he is really sweet and just wants her to be happy. I TOTALLY recommend you reading these books. I laughed a lot and like I said MOUTH ON THE FLOOR! I will honestly never look at our accountant the same way again.

I am going to eventually get around to checking out C.J.'s VV Inn series. Barnes and Noble has the first 3 books for $5.99. I have only seen good comments on the series and I feel like it could be really good.
