That Man Book 1 by Nelle L'Amour is hilarious and a great start to a new series! It will leaving you laughing out loud, seriously, so be ready to have your sides ache, and proceed with caution!
Blake Burns is the head of SIN-TV. He goes through women like people drink water, and sometimes two at the same time. This man is a handsome, god like, sexy man-and he never hears the word "no". His father owns the company he works for but Blake is his own man and opened up SIN_TV with his father's blessing. All is okay for Blake as he wanders through life, until one night he is in a club, and a bunch of people are playing truth or dare, and a blindfolded woman approaches him and kisses him, and what a kiss it was, she is drunk and being daring and he is all too eager to kiss her back and really puts his "all" into that kiss too: it starts off a fire inside both of them. Unfortunately before he can get away to find her, she has disappeared, only to reappear the next morning as his new executive assistant, hired by his Dad to get the company in better shape: she has just graduated very impressively and his Dad knows she will make the difference in Blake's company.
Jennifer McCoy, a beautiful, smart, young and very talented, and slightly "green" the next morning, has to meet with her new boss, and she can't quit thinking about that kiss from a stranger last night! Unknown to her, her new bos is that man from last night-yes, that man! Jennifer walks in and says hello and he knows its her-that girl. Trying to be subtle while his body has gone on high alert, they get through the interview. She wonders why he asks her if she is married and in no uncertain tone says no not that it is his business.
Blake knows he has to have her and that he is not going to take no for an answer. He also realizes that she is a woman who will not cheat, so through the week and as he gets more desperate, he decides to get rid of his competition! How he goes about it will make you laugh and I know I laughed all the way through part one.
There are a lot of situations that cause a high level of sexual angst, frustration, and the plot just thickens as that man will do whatever it takes. As her boss's father invited Jennifer to the house for friday night dinner, and Blake has to excuse himself to go to the bathroom, his frustration gets the better of him. Lets just say Jennifer not knowing he is using the bathroom she was pointed out to go to to use, opens the door and stares in shock as her boss finishes up his hand job and she is beyond words. She is stunned at the size of him and can't move, he just plays it off- tucks himself back in and says "I will see you back at the table!" Oh that man!
Jennifer's fiance is a real dweeb, and it is hard to believe she has wasted five years of her life going out with him. The week before they get engaged, and at dinner he gives her an engagement ring, a cheap dull ring that is so obviously cheap like her boyfriend is, makes her start being even more restless. When Blake sees the ring he knows his time is up and he starts to take matters in his own hands.
Both of them show up at an art exhibit, and Blake is with one of his bimbos, and she is with her boyfriend. Unknown to her earlier that day when he saw her at the beach, and he took her to breakfast then took her home, he decides he has to do something. Going right back to her house he fakes a toothache and she falls for it hook line and sinker. She calls her boyfriend to get Blake right in even though it is a saturday. Blake goes and can't believe his eyes when he sees who Jennifer, his dream girl and a beautiful woman has settled to get married to. When the dentist sticks his fingers in to feel around his gum where Blake says it hurts Blake bites down so hard the dentist screams and runs to the emergency room.
At the art exhibit after the dentist comes back from the bathroom and sees Jennifer standing with the man that bit him, he gets very mad, and Jennifer is quick to explain Blake is her boss, and her boyfriend tells her that Blake caused him to get a lot of stitches as he almost bit off his two fingers! Jennifer's boyfriend grbs Jennifer and says let's get out of here. At this point you will get the sense something is not right between them and will have to see just what Jennifer's fiance is up to. The last part is not funny however and it is very scary what happens to Jennifer, at work, when she has to sit on the set of a show and has to make a decision the director does not like. Will Blake be able to get there in time?
All kinds of funny scenes in this book brings us to the end and it ends in a cliff hanger, so make sure you have part 2, I know I went right to it to see what happens and you will want to also to see what happens next!
I gave this part 5***** stars as it is so good, and I really enjoyed reading about Blake and Jennifer and can't wait to see what will be next!

Captivating and addicting...
So what do you do when you've been a player your whole adult life and are known for your one-nighter..."screw 'em and leave 'em" attitude? After all, there's so many fish in that great big sea, why not enjoy a different flavor every night? But what do you do when you meet the one woman who stops you in your tracks and makes you forget simple speech? The one woman who makes you feel... something? What do you do? You pull out the big guns and go after her of course...with everything you've got. Sounds easy enough, right?...especially for someone like Blake Burns, a testosterone tornado. Except, that special woman is engaged.He's very wealthy, successful and damn sexy... 6'3" tall with thick black hair and intense, sapphire blue eyes. 30 yr. old Blake Burns is arrogant to the nines. He has a sultry, smoldering voice and dimples in both cheeks that make women weak in the knees when he blesses them with a wink and a smile. Yeah, the angels in heaven worked overtime when the idea of Blake Burns was conceived. And now he's set his eye for Jennifer McCoy...and one thing Blake does NOT do...is lose.She's a petite, accident prone brunette with big dimples. Jennifer McCoy is adorable with her beautiful, vivid green eyes that can capture and hold your attention prisoner. She has an innocence about her yet she's feisty, foxy and sexy. She's intelligent with a sensible head on her shoulders. She's newly engaged to Bradley Wick, her college sweetheart.I had so much fun reading this lighthearted, romantic story. It's predictable at times but just so much gosh darned fun to read, I couldn't put it down. I found my day completely blown without realizing it because I kept telling myself "just one more chapter before I run errands"...or "just one more chapter before..." and on it went until my day was shot and I didn't care. A quick call to hubby "Honey, can you bring something home for dinner"?....and back to my book. Yeah, it was that addicting. Brava Ms. l'Amour. Encore!!
