I love Harlequin romances and especially the Cosmo RED-HOT reads. Don't get me wrong, the sex in the book makes it one hot read, but I felt CAKE  by Lauren Dane needed more of a story line. I've read several of the RED-HOT reads and enjoyed them, but this one I did not enjoy as much. It may have just been some of the male's physical characteristics. He was quite charming, and with his Russian accent, sexy; but personally, I could not get past all the piercings. That really turned me off, and while I thought I could ignore that part and read on, the piercings kept playing a role all their own.I truly enjoyed the heroine. She was strong and independent and knew what she wanted and went after it, no holds barred. The friendly relationship between the two characters was also fun to read. The banter between the two leading characters was cute, funny, and special.Cosmo and Harlequin have a good thing going with the RED-HOT reads and I'm on board for some fast, fun reading. I think I would even like to read something else by this author. I am going to give CAKE four stars. The writing was good. I did not find any grammatical errors and the story came to a nice ending.I received my copy from Netgalley for review.
