Holland Daze - Daringly Dangerous Book One

Bayo St. Claire is a jet-setting photographer and travel writer; she was born to rank, wealth and privilege. She is also devastatingly gorgeous and tempting enough to make the strongest man weaken. Her coffee importer fiancé Mark Delaney has cheated on her, but he’s “so sorry” and tries to make her forgive him. Things get out of control, and a tall, dark, and handsome hulk of a stranger steps in to rescue her. She could really get used to this mouth-watering Steven Segal look-a-like in a tuxedo; something about him sets her system on fire immediately.

Daire Holland is an agent for C.O.R.E., but he’s posing as a security consultant for Bayo’s aunt’s party; he’s also trying to bring down a drug cartel. Delaney is a key player in the smuggling ring, and Daire is out to bring it all crashing down. Although he doesn't need the type of distraction she provides, Daire is hooked on Bayo; he is almost compelled to possess her. When Bayo gets kidnapped, everything starts to unravel; can Daire get to her in time?

Holland Daze is a fast-paced, fun, and frisky read. Sassy Rebel does a phenomenal job of creating tight dialogue, witty banter, infectious humor, and intriguing characters. Bayo and Daire are well-crafted and interesting, with great attention to detail that makes them come alive. The secret agent theme saturating the book is authentic and attention-grabbing, and the villains are bad in a bumbling sort of way. Throw in a bunch of wild, hot, and steamy sex (complete with a shower scene where they get dirty) and a blockbuster is born! An exciting epilogue sets up a sequel, so get ready to see these characters again soon.
