So, Tessa Bailey is pretty much the queen of dirty talking heroes and damn she did it again with Asking for Trouble. This one was fun, sexy, and all kinds of make-a-girl-go-weak-in-the-knees naughty goodness as enemies Brent and Hayden discover that all that fire between them can lead to some damn good times.I really enjoyed Brent and Hayden. These two are passionate about hating each other. They bicker, throw barbs, tease and make it their life mission to zing the hell out of each other last. They had me rolling over their antics with each other. And all that passion, whew, it definitely transfers into the bedroom when they just can't stop one upping each other and neither's willing to back down from the challenge of a nekkid, sweaty, down and dirty night together.Okay, so, the sex scenes were just smoking hot and sexy as hell. He's a total dirty talker, all alpha male and serious as sin about pleasing Hayden even if that means he's on the receiving end of a pair of cuffs and taking orders. I loved he was willing to let her be in charge some of the time and that she was definitely into taking on that role. Very hot. Whew!Brent and Hayden had some big issues between them--a lot dealing with the difference in their social standing. He's a gruff, crude, cop and her family is really well off and she's a "princess". Which on the surface yeah could totally be the case but man these two were so much more than they initially thought of each other. I liked the differences between them--even though his continued grumbles and pokes about her finances wore on me for personal reasons-- and loved that as things went along all of their preconceived notions about each other shattered and they really started to see below the surface to the amazing people they were. There was some serious growth going on and I loved that.Really, I just liked these two. They were fun and interesting and had so much heart. And damn when he screwed up he did a tremendous job of making up for it. I was melting and busting out laughing and just adored him even more for it all.All in all, Asking for Trouble was an awesome addition the the series and a must if you love a dirty talking, rough around the edges, doesn't hold anything back hero and a heroine that can take him on and give just as good as she gets. Throw in stellar friends, meddling families and off the charts steam and it really makes for an excellent afternoon read.
