Blurb: The competition is on when two sexy players set their sights on one woman who has no intention of being anyone’s prize. Will the ultimate challenge be true love?

With too many relationships ending in heartache under her belt, the new and improved Symone Adams is loud, proud and on the prowl. She has removed the heart she’s normally worn on her sleeve and tucked it safely under lock and key. What she wants now is to explore the appeal of meaningless, mind-blowing sex. After six months of self-imposed celibacy hell, she heads to Menjo’s and directly into the path of two very determined players.

Zander and Marco are pros when it comes to seduction, yet each has grown bored with their conquests. When these two strangers set their sights on the same stunning beauty, the competition is on. Both embark on a full balls-to-the-wall effort to win not only Symone’s body, but her heart as well.

What none of them can predict, though, is where their chance encounter will take them, especially Marco and Zander. While the men focus on winning Symone, it’s the electricity arcing in the air between them that will be the real challenge.

Review: Simone is tired of being cheated on and has decided to give up on relationships after catching her last boyfriend having sex with another woman. After six months of getting over its time, she decides to get on with her life and goes out with her friend. She meets not one but two gorgeous men. Either could be the man of her dreams. Zander is tall, lean and with dark hair and dark eyes. Marco, more compact, muscular and blond. Both men want her bad enough to fight for her. She decides, why choose?

I will just say this story is full of sex. It is well-written but pretty explicit. The story is the competition between Zander and Marco to try to win Symone’s heart. They each do some very romantic things to get her attention. I did think it hot that they decided instead of one give up they both hung in there even when she led them into sex together with her, both men are straight.

If you like lots of sex and multiple partners, this is for you. I am looking forward to the next book to see how this relationship develops.
