Up Her : A Dark Second Chance High School Enemies to Lovers Pulp Fiction Fantasy Romance (Bang Lords Book 1) Kindle Edition

3.9 out of 5 stars 159 ratings

One.

Just one kiss.

When the only thing a genius has thought about since high school is you...


Charlotte Prescott has just been offered a job. She doesn't know much about the pharmaceutical company other than her childhood friend and former neighbor, Elliot Crowe, is a scientist there. She's hoping to run into him. As a teen, he did save her life and she would like to properly thank the brainy geek who she felt was hardly deserving of a kiss at the time. Charlotte, however, is soon going to learn that some geeks have more to offer than wishes for kisses and brains. Some geeks grow up to become shamelessly smart men.

*A Male-Female Paired Couple. This is the first of four books in the Bang Lords series, a contemporary second chance, high school crush to dark lover romance and can be read as a standalone.

**This is dark fantasy, pulp fiction romance and these are smart men. For the open-minded, they deliver.

Take the Bang.

    Mean girls vs Geeks. A different kind of second chance romance, a little on the dark side.
    Charlotte was home coming queen and one of the most popular girls in high school. Elliot was her geeky childhood friend and neighbor. Until high school, then she teased him at home and ignored him at school.
    12 years later later, Charlotte is living with her parents, jobless, between boyfriends, though still a beautiful woman. When a high school friend reached out with a job offer, she can't say no.
    Elliot and his fellow geeks from high school, are now millionaires. Owners of a pharmaceutical company. Elliot still crushes on Charlotte. Nick, his sociopathic boss and friend, decided to do something about it, well and test their new drug, BANG, which enhances hormonal responses.
    When Elliot sees Charlotte, she doesn't recognize him, and only knows him by his nickname. When he tries the drug on her she can't keep her hands off him, but will she feel the same when she learns the truth.
    Fast paced and steamy, short story. Can't wait for the next book.
    I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book from Booksprout. Dani Stowe is on my automatic buy list. I know I will get a great story.

    Charlotte knew Elliott since high school where he and his friends save her and her friends lives. In high school Elliot was part of the geek squad and I became one of the cool kids. Charlotte remembers the one kiss that she had with Elliott. She hadn’t seen Elliott in a long time but now she is going to be working for his company. In the cafe across the street from NIMbshe was waiting in line when a man came through the door and he went directly in front of the line. I was the next one in line when they gave him his order first he saw I was annoyed and told him that he would make me late for my first day on the job. He then asked her where she work and she told him it just so happen he also worked there. He takes her across the street to the Nim Offices he asked her how she got hired. While they were leaving the elevator he grabbed her hand which she pulled away. Charlotte did not know it was Elliott he changed so much but she knows him as Mr.Nine. In the elevator Elliott wanted to see if she had liked him or not. He invented this pill called “Bang” he noticed when he took the pill Charlotte started to fell hot and sexual so he realized that she had liked him before he took his pill. His friend Nick tells him he has to tell Charlotte who he was. Nick took the pill when he was in his office to see what reaction Tracy would have on him. What a big surprise when she attacks him and punches him in the face and tries to choke him. He took her into the “the bank” that is tucked inside one of the rooms at NIM. Elliott takes the initiative and tells her he has a proposal for her so he takes her to dinner. He tells her that he likes this girl and he wanted to do a makeover and asks Charlotte to shave him. Charlotte thought that was pretty strange but agreed while she was shaving him he was starting to look familiar then he took out his contacts and put on his glasses and she realized it was Elliott. He tells her about the pill he had been working
    on regarding pheromones and it was he and Nick that were their human subjects. Charlotte told him how she felt about him and why she was aloof to him at school. She told him that she wasn’t good enough for him because he was so smart. She also asked him why they call him Mr Nine but she later found out...this is a first book in the series.

    These nerds know what they want and they know how to get it too. Elliott wanted Charlotte since he was a geeky little kid. They’ve been best friends for a lifetime. So as adults he has done really well for himself. Living for her love and passion is all he wants so he develops this little pill which if swallowed will make the object of your affections come on to you or hate you intensely. Well she has some hidden desires for Elliot, for sure.

    This guilty little pleasure caught my interest from the very beginning. Elliott and Charlotte have quite the past and I love how their characters grew from young and immature, uncertain and foolish, to capable strong adults who learned from their past. There's a push and pull and sexy build up of tension and arousal that made this a steamy and dirty read but oh boy did I like it!!

    NIM - what can I say I'm hooked on this series but I won't spill any secrets. You're gonna have to read for yourself if you want to know what NIM means but let me tell you - it's one FUN and SEXY surprise! Well-written and sure to please, give Up Her a chance, you won't be disappointed. After all, how can you go wrong with such a stimulating title? And the BANG - it's sure to fire up your libido.

    If you haven’t read erotica before, this is a good book to start with. The sex scenes aren’t too graphic or over the top and there is nothing in this book to put you off reading more. The author concentrates on developing characters and storyline instead of focusing on the sex, which is a good thing. Too many books in this genre are just about the sex with next to no storyline. This is an easy and enjoyable book to read.

    Personally, I would have liked it to be a bit longer, but it is aimed at an audience who likes shorter reads and in that respect it hits the mark well.

    A thoroughly entertaining book with intriguing characters. I laughed, I sighed, I cringed and I smiled. Such a great book and I'm ecstatic that I've found an author who I can relate to and she's now on my got-to-read list. Loved these characters. I can't wait to read about Loulah. Nick has got his coming...I'm just not sure how I would like her to react. It would serve him right to if she reacts like Charlotte. Hmmmm. Maybe she could flip the control on the alpha male who likes control by having her take B and not him.

    4.0 out of 5 stars What a fun ride (pun intended)!
    Reviewed in Canada on July 15, 2018
    Dani Stowes’ Up Her: A Second Chance Pulp Fiction Romance (Bang Lords Book 1) was a good read with hot moments and some wicked behaviour by the geek next door who grows into a hot, successful, naughty…uh…geek.

    I love the first-person, present tense point of view. It’s not that easy to pull off and the author does a good job of it. Her dialogue is well-written, her characters are quirky and the book is an easy read. Hot and fun!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sexy with a good story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2019
    This was a fun, sexy read. For some reason - I guess the name - made me think it was going to be a straight up erotica, but actually there was more story than sex, though the sex was part of the story as the MC makes a product called 'Bang' a pill that makes the object of your desire show their true feelings through the use of pheromones - it can be love or hate though, so not to be taken lightly! The characters took a while to get their act together and I thought the 'after' for them could have been further developed, but I suppose what happens with the company will come up in future books. The 'bonus chapter' was by far the hottest chapter of the book and probably my favourite as it showed their development as a couple too. I really enjoyed this read and look forward to more.
