Yesterday I went and re-read Vapor, one of the author's earlier works.
It's still not my favourite of hers, mostly because of the dynamics of the conflict between the two leads.
A good choice if you're looking for angsty sex and dirty talk.
If you haven't read anything from this author, I'd recommend Visions or Kiss the Rain instead.

A good read if you're looking for a hot and sweaty erotic romance. Rose writes erotica very well - pages and pages that all but set off the fire alarm in my house. Romance is possibly not the right word for this - hate is a major plot driver. It definitely makes the passion burn hotter, but I sometimes felt that Vic was almost overwhelmed by her emotions. Sure, Ashley was an ass for ghosting her and using their night as fodder for her book - but she freaked and ran away and actually felt bad about it. Vic's revenge was much more mercenary and calculated. The sex must have been phenomenal (yeah ... Rose made that abundantly clear) as I don't know how anyone could forgiver Vic.
But this is fiction and it is erotica and it does run very hot - so if you don't pattern your own behaviour after Vic (at least outside the sheets) then enjoy.

Ashley Vaughn, an author, meets Victoria Hadley, a chef and restauranteur, at her author reading. They hit it off immediately but when Victoria finds out Ashley uses their night together in her book to further her career, Victoria is set out for revenge.
I thought that the book started off well and had sizzling intimate scenes. I believed in that Victoria and Ashley had good chemistry together.
Both characters are likeable, but each have their certain faults. For instance, I didn't like that Victoria's character wanted revenge so much although I understood her reason why for wanting it so badly.
