Favorite Quote:
“You’re ruining my moment, Alicia. You’re not big on romantic gestures, are you?”
“Sorry. It was very romantic. You should get naked now.”

Alicia Riley, sports medicine specialist has her work cut out for her when she goes up against star Rivers pitcher, Garrett Scott. Garrett hurt his arm pitching and so far, none of the therapy is helping him. When Alicia sits in on a meeting between Garrett and the rehab team, she bluntly tells Garrett that he needs to quit whining and start doing the required therapy, promising him that if he follows her program, he will pitch again.

There aren’t many who are willing to go head to head with Garrett Scott, so when the tiny beautiful Alicia not only goes for the jugular but spanks him the process, Garrett takes notice. He demands she handle his rehab from now on and soon they are working on more than just his rehabilitation. As the sexual tension rises to red alert between Alicia and Garrett, Alicia tries to keep things between them business only, but Garrett soon sweeps aside her reasons and they embark on a steamy affair.

When Garrett’s dreams of returning to pitching seems to take a dismal turn, can he and Alicia weather the storm or will Alicia’s fears of why you should never mix business and pleasure come true.

I'm reviewing Downfall Of Good Girl by Kimberly Lang at Smexybooks

The Downfall Of A Good Girl by Kimberly Lang
Contemporary Romance
January 22, 2012
Harlequin KISS

Favorite Quote: "Losing to the devil himself has never been sexier"

The Downfall Of A Good Girl is a classic enemies to lovers trope centering around “good girl” Vivienne (Vivi) LeBlanc and “bad boy” Connor Mansfield. Vivi is a quintessential southern debutante. A former pageant queen, she now spends her time running her gallery and working on committees to better her fair city. When she is elected Saint of the annual New Orleans Saints and Sinners Pageant, she is determined to win the coveted title and huge trophy that comes with it. When Conner Mansfield is named the Sinner to her Saint and who she has to compete against, Vivi nearly suffers a complete meltdown. Convinced her nemesis has deliberately come back to town to humiliate her once again, Vivi hardens her resolve and heart against the sexy bad boy.

Conner Mansfield left New Orleans and achieved fortune and fame with his sultry voice and phenomenal piano skills. Though an acknowledged player, the tabloids have painted him as the devil himself and a particularly bad scandal has him coming home for some R&R. When asked to help chair the annual Saints and Sinners Pageant Conner figures that the publicly can’t hurt, especially when paired with Vivi. Her goody two shoe ways will serve as an excellent polish for his tarnished reputation. Conner doesn’t know why Vivi hates him and he doesn’t care. But when he starts spending more time with her, he realizes that there is more to Vivi than meets the eye and suddenly he wants more than to win the pageant…he wants to win her heart.
