Can't
Buy Me Love
It's
Tag Crane's job to be the life of the party. Traveling from one exotic locale
to another is just part of running the luxurious Crane Hotel empire. But even
paradise isn't perfect. Devising a new business strategy is keeping Tag up at
night-and so is the Great Dane barking at all hours in the apartment below his.
To muzzle the problem, Tag charges downstairs . . . right into the most
beautiful, blond distraction he's ever seen.
Dog-sitting
by day, bartending by night. It's not exactly the life Rachel Foster dreamed
of. But when Tag Crane rushes in, all mountain-man shoulders and obscenely sexy
smile, needing her help for the Crane Hotels, it's a fantasy come true. What's
the harm in a fun no-strings fling? Only a fool would give her heart to a
billionaire player like Tag-until suddenly the one man who can't be caught is
the one flirting with forever . . .

Nikki’s Review:
This series is so much fun! The Crane brothers are delectable
and so infuriating all at the same time. I was beyond excited to dig into Tag's
book.
Tag Crane is the ultimate playboy. He never lets emotions cloud
his rendezvous' with the women he spends time with. He enjoys their company,
lets them down easy and somehow still remains completely lovable.
Rachel Foster is my favourite kind of heroine. She's smart and
spunky with enough vulnerability that makes her relatable. She's been let down
and betrayed by someone that she trusted and thought she loved. But she's
determined to put the pieces back together and forge a new path...whatever that
may be.
I got such a kick out of these two! The witty and sarcastic
banter had me giggling through much of the book. Tag is ridiculously cocky and
he's aware of his affect on Rachel...and most women. At times I was all
like..."did he just say that?" And I totally wanted to smack him a
time or two! But damn...I adored him at the same time! He's a good guy. I loved
the internal struggle; I loved his confusion at how this spitfire of a woman
could make him want things that he's never considered before. Oh the power of
lust and then love.
I enjoyed watching Rachel go through an evolution of sorts. At
the beginning she's stand offish and not willing to jump. But as her character
developed, her bravery started to shine through. She has these breath taking
moments of clarity that were so beautiful. I felt like fist pumping when
everything just became clear to her!
The chemistry between Tag and Rachel was piping hot! Jessica
Lemmon is brilliant at writing sexual tension! Every time they'd get close to
smokin' hot monkey sex, Ms. Lemmon would yank them back! It was frustrating but
completely necessary. It just made the moment when they finally bumped uglies
all the more explosive! And Jesus...what a relief it was when it finally
happened! Sigh...it was yummy!
There's lots of push and pull and tons of conflict that has to
be plowed over in this book. But what worthwhile journey doesn't? The slow
build of their relationship was exactly what the characters needed. It was
perfect.
You get a few glimpses of the third Crane brother, Eli in this
book. There's a whole lot of emotion and a few tears surrounding his presence
in this story. I can hardly wait to get my pudgy little digits on his book!
This series is just another example of the wonderful writing that Ms. Lemmon is
capable of and known for. The characters are "people" that you come
to care about. If a book can make me think about the characters lives long
after I've finished reading it, then in my opinion, it's bloody brilliant!
Rating: 4 Stars (A)
