Holy smokin’ hot dominate cop plus best friend’s little sister who lies about who she is equals one sexy, crazy, frustrating and highly entertaining romp! Seriously friends, this is one book that will get you revved up and keep you there throughout as these two navigate the relationship waters while dealing with family and career issues. This is an incredibly well written story by an author who continues to impress me.Lucy Mason has her graduate degree in her hand, several great job prospects lined up, and is ready to blow off some steam in New York City with her best friend, Sasha, and she bails on her. So what’s a girl to do when her brother’s new best friend arrives to pick her up and she realizes he has no clue who she is? She decides she’s going to start living her new life by grabbing Matt and treating herself to a sexy fling.So, yes Lucy really didn’t think her plan out too well but damn as soon as she set her eyes on Matt, there was no way she could deny her lady parts the satisfaction of having him. However, she got more than she bargained for when Matt proves to be a dominate lover and she finds that she not only likes it, she craves it. I can’t even begin to describe the intensity of these scenes and the way they made me feel as a reader. While Matt is always in control, their intimate scenes are often frantic, and always satisfying. It was interesting to watch Matt struggle with his need to dominate Lucy and his repulsion at himself for wanting to. Lucy made several discoveries about her wants and needs that surprised her but also made her realize what had been missing from her life. I really loved this couple even though they spent a great deal of time trying to figure out how they fit in each other’s lives and dealing with the guilt of hiding their relationship from Lucy’s brother.With characters you won’t soon forget, an entertaining plot, and enticingly hot sex scenes Staking His Claim is another fantastic offering from the talented Tessa Bailey.Review copy provided for an honest review.
