When Jake “The Rake” Sims moves into the neighborhood, everyone’s excited…after all, not only is he famous, he’s gorgeous. And while the Housewives Fantasy Club members are determined to hook him up with their sole single member, Alicia is just as determined to resist.

Jake Sims just wants a place where he won’t be hounded by the paparazzi, so he can build a stable environment for his daughter. What he gets is so much more. Alicia Greene is sexy as hell and if he’s not mistaken, her friends are pushing them together. Although he’s interested, it’s not in his best interest to get involved with anyone at this time. But can he resist both her and the scheming women of the Housewives Fantasy Club?
Alicia Greene may have had one…okay a gazillion…fantasies involving Jake Sims but his reputation precedes him, and she’s not willing to risk her heart for a few minutes of ecstasy. Yet getting to know him and his daughter, Alicia soon realizes she wants more than just the fantasy. Will she take the risk?

Oh yummy, yummy! Ms. Halliday once again brings us the fantastic, fun and flaming hot stories of the Housewives Fantasy Club. In Dinner First, Me Later, we get to know Alicia and Jake. Initially, these two are as prickly as a cactus toward each other yet the attraction is there and neither can resist the other. At times funny and others poignant, their interactions are what make this a book such a great read. In addition, the secondary characters are well developed and contribute immensely to the flow of the story. There’s a perfect blend of humor and sexual tension, making this book one I’ll want to read again and again.
