This was just a sizzling, sexy read with a great romance to go along with all the seriously hot action!!After reading More Than Meets The Ink, I just knew this was going to be good.  Elle Aycart is a fantastic erotic romance writer and, despite my reservations about the heroine in the first book, I felt pretty sure that the second book was going to blow me away.  And, I wasn't wrong.This is SIZZLING hot - Cole certainly knows how the set his girl on fire and I burned with her that's for sure!!Christy, our heroine, has recently moved to Alden after a bad break up and swears, very loudly, that she just needs a stud for sex and nothing else.  Cole overhears and offers to be that stud as the town's female population has gone into overdrive to get themselves a Bowen Brother after James' recent engagement.  He promises Christy really hot sex in exchange for `fake dates' to keep the she-wolves at bay and he most definitely delivers on that promise.Christy is such a sweet heroine - she really broke my heart.  She's got some pretty destructive low self-esteem issues.  She's been obese after using food as a comfort blanket most of her life but has kicked her addiction to the kerb and is now a normal weight but the pull of sugar and empty calories is never far away.  She never believes that a man like Cole, who is 6ft 4inches of almost perfect male, could possibly be seriously interested in her.  She takes him up on his offer of no-strings but mind-blowing orgasmic sex and they start a `fake-date' relationship.Cole is not without issues either.  He's commitment phobic after his mother walked out on him when he was just ten years old.  He doesn't trust women, has built up a wall around his heart and never lets them close.  He loves having sex with them but never allows them to penetrate that steely facade and allow them to get close to him.  He's had his eye on Christy since she walked into Alden, always a little at half mast every time he sees her.  He can't understand his visceral response to her and assumes it's just heady lust but is he wrong?  Is there more to it than that?This was a wonderful romance - it was just so captivating to watch the growing feelings between Cole and Christy even though I wanted to bang their heads together on more than one occasion when they were frustrating me by not opening their eyes and seeing what was building between them.  Cole is a drool-worthy hero to die for.  He's absolutely drop-dead gorgeous and constantly reprimands Christy when she puts herself down.  She is beautiful to him and he won't have it when she won't accept this and brushes off his compliments.The whole time I was reading this, I kept hearing Christina Aguilera singing in my head and this has to be the theme song for Christy - the words could have been written for her.You are beautiful no matter what they sayWords can't bring you downYou are beautiful in every single wayYes, words can't bring you down, oh, noSo don't you bring me down today...So, despite my reservations about Tate in the first book,  Elle Aycart has quite literally burst onto my horizon and is now one of my favourite erotica writers.  She's got a stable of hunks just waiting to find that sinfully sexy HEA and I really can't wait to read more from her.4,5 stars erotic romance
