JUST A LITTLE HOOKUP by Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde (Derek and Jessica)

ABOUT THE BOOK

Being a bachelor has its perks. It also has its downside. Just ask Derek Bettencourt. 

Standing on stage and being auctioned off in the name of charity is awkward AF… until Derek's business partner’s younger sister wins him for the weekend. He’s all hers to do with as she pleases and he can’t say he’s unhappy with the prospect. Especially since she saved him from an ex-fiancรฉe determined to get her claws into him again.

Jessica Cavanaugh never intended to bid on her lifetime crush. But her spur-of-the-moment decision gives her a chance to exact a bit of playful payback, for old time’s sake. And Derek is all too happy to indulge Jessica's whims.

What starts as a fun, flirty, game, with Derek acting as her personal handyman, quickly turns into a steamy, forbidden weekend. Lines are crossed that they never intended and emotions unravel their playful facades. Afterward, he can’t get the gorgeous, full-figured woman out of his head and he’s determined to make her his.

But how can they concentrate on a future when someone is threatened by their relationship and will do anything to come between them?

* A Dare Crossover novel featuring Derek Bettencourt from Carly Phillips’ novel, Just One Taste.

Meet Erika Wilde


Erika Wilde (aka Janelle Denison) is the USA Today bestselling author of over 50 contemporary romances for multiple print publishers.

So, why the new pen name? 

As Janelle Denison I’ve always written sexy books, but lately my writing has taken on more erotic elements that I wanted to keep separate for readers because not everyone likes their reading material on the spicier, kinkier side of romance.   However, please be assured that even as Erika Wilde, you will still get an emotionally layered story with characters you’ll care about and fall in love with.   That is always my goal, whether I’m writing straight contemporary romances, or more erotically charged stories.

 

Currently, I’m working on The Marriage Diaries and making sure that Dean and Jillian enjoy exploring the more erotic side to their marriage.  The series will be on-going, with no foreseeable ending as of right now, for as long as readers want to be voyeurs to Dean and Jillian’s sizzling new relationship.

 

I’m also planning a spin-off series in the future, featuring the hot military men that work security for Dean at Noble and Associates.  Sign up to receive my newsletter for updates and news!

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

In this book we meet two sets of siblings.

Derek and Nikki are siblings. Nikki found love in Just One Taste and now its her brother Derek's turn. 

We also meet siblings Jessica and Ben. Ben is Derek's best friend and business partner. Jessica is his younger sister who has crushed on Derek for years, but he never saw her. Until one bachelor auction when she wins him from the teen who bullied her and who is Derek's ex. She has BIG plans for Derek. And what a way to go....

This was a very hot, funny, and romantic story about the teen who was bullied her whole life, finding herself and winning. I adored Jessica and was totally rooting for her during this story. Derek at times was a bit clueless but in the most adorable way and I loved him so much but the end of this story.
