| When plain Chastity Bryant overhears her too hot for words boss laughing about her lack of an exciting life, she’s crushed. It’s not just that she’s had a crush on him since day one, but she also finds out that he knows…and he’s been using that knowledge to his advantage. Tired of being the meek frumpy mouse that Sebastian assumes she is, Chastity enlists the help of her friends to teach Italian stallion a lesson he won’t soon forget. With a makeover to top all makeovers, she sets out to seduce the arrogant man and give him a taste of his own medicine. When Sebastian sees the new and improved Chastity, one thought repeats through his mind…he wants her and nothing will stand in his way. Just when Chastity thinks her plan is progressing without a hitch something unexpected happens, she falls in love with him. Now what is she supposed to do?
I don’t normally agree with any woman changing to please a man, but in this case I rooted for Chastity from beginning to end. Sebastian is portrayed as an arrogant, shallow and entirely self centered man that needed to be brought down a peg or four and Chastity was just the gal to do it. Her inner beauty nearly outshines her outer looks and you can’t help but fall in love with this plump sweetheart from word one. Ms. Vaughn peppers her story with plenty of teasing, passion, and sweaty sex to keep the reader hot, bothered, and begging for more. The story flows well from beginning to end with several secondary characters that keep you laughing when you’re not panting from the searing sex. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Ms. Vaughn will choose to “reinvent” one or two of the other characters in this heart pounding story so that someday we may be able to revisit Chastity and Sebastian.
