Bad Business: A Sexy Billionaire Romance (The Pleasure Pact Book 1) Kindle Edition

by JC Harroway (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 9 ratings
From bestselling author JC Harroway comes the first book in The Pleasure Pact series. Grace Metcalf only wanted a onetime fling…but he’s got her risking it all for more!

After my sister died, I knew I owed it to her and myself to get out there and start living. First order—calling off my wedding to a man I didn’t love. Then a margarita-filled night led to an agreement with my best friends: The Pleasure Pact. We’ve all agreed to live in the moment, which means behaving badly, embracing passion and saying yes to every adventure…even a red-hot holiday fling.

When I agreed to go honeymooning solo in sunny Fiji, I didn’t expect to find a gorgeous paddleboard instructor ready and waiting to take my mind off the mundanity of real life. The mysterious Ryan Dempsey is exactly what I need: no rings, no romance, just raw sex appeal. His enigmatic past has turned him off love—now he’s all about lust and spontaneity.

Ryan might be set on keeping things casual, but each electrifying encounter with him only shows me that our scorching chemistry goes beyond the physical. Can I convince this sworn bachelor that risking our tropical affair for a deeper connection is worth it?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Delicously steamy!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2020
    Format: Kindle
    4 1/2 STARS!

    Smokin' hot and oh so yummy! With the first book in her brand new The Pleasure Pact series JC Harroway takes us on a tropical lust-filled adventure. The premise of the story is fun and flirty, it's fast paced and steamy and the characters are easy to like.

    Grace Metcalf has decided to let her sassy side fly as she changes her life to live for the moment after suffering great loss. She's no longer going to settle, she's going to live life to it's fullest and enjoy it all.

    Ryan Dempsey is divine. He's attractive, kind and adores his grandmother, so what's not to love? Oh, did I forget to mention he breaks out in hives at the thought of commitment?

    I recommend this book to anyone wanting an easy, steamy read with a happily ever after. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A scorching summer sizzler
    Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2020
    Format: Kindle
    JC Harroway kicks off her scorching new series for Harlequin Dare, The Pleasure Pact, with a steamy summer sizzler sure to send temperatures soaring: Bad Business.

    Grace Metcalf has always been a good girl. With her much-loved and much-missed younger sister critically ill for most of her life, Grace had worked hard at school, got top grades during her exams, never worried her parents and had even got engaged to a sensible and practical man. But her sister’s passing had taught her that she couldn’t continue to merely exist anymore. The time has come for Grace to stop hiding behind her work or her sister’s illness and to actually start living. Having jilted her boring fiancé, Grace -fuelled by Margaritas and her best friends’ encouragement – decides to finally start taking a walk on the wild side by honeymooning solo in Fiji where she will behave badly, take chances and maybe even indulge in a sizzling no-strings fling. Grace is looking for fun and she has certainly found this with the resort’s hunky paddelboard instructor, Ryan Dempsey.

    Only it turns out that there is more to Ryan than meets the eye. Rather than an instructor, he is actually the billionaire owner of the honeymoon resort Grace is staying in which he is planning to turn into a paradise for single people looking for a good time. The successful businessman had learned from a very early age that marriage and commitment are simply not on the agenda for him and the self-made billionaire has certainly grown used at keeping people at arm’s length, but there is something about Grace that has bewitched him and got under his skin. Although they were initially drawn together by a physical attraction which simply could not be denied, the more time they spend in one another’s arms – and one another’s beds – the more they realize that sexual attraction have given way to something far deeper than either one of them had ever imagined.

    However, with Grace determined to find her happy ever after and Ryan insisting that he wants to stay footloose and fancy-free, is a future for the two of them possible? Or are there too many obstacles threatening to tear them apart?

    JC Harroway effortlessly blends sex, seduction and scintillating emotion in her latest novel for Harlequin Dare, Bad Business. An irresistible tale of taking chances, illicit desire and red-hot attraction, Bad Business is a compelling contemporary romance that features a smart, intelligent and determined heroine and a gorgeous Irish hero who will certainly get readers’ hearts racing.

    Full of wit, style and sizzle, steamy contemporary romantic fiction does not get any better than JC Harroway’s Bad Business.

    A new JC Harroway #DARE series?! Don’t mind if I do.

    Now, followers of my reviews (wishful thinking here *snorts*) will know that JC’s books and I have previous. As in, my reviews tend to get hijacked by certain parts of my anatomy *smirks*. Least said about that the better *rolls eyes*.

    Don’t say I didn’t warn you...

    Now where to begin? *taps chin*

    Three friends, one pact. A kind of carpe diem of the pleasure variety. Now this is a pact I could definitely get on board with *snort-giggles*.

    It’s time for Grace Metcalf (Doctor Metcalf to thee and me) to dirty that halo of hers *winks*. And I can’t think of anyone I’d rather play Doctors and Nurses with than confirmed bachelor/playboy, Ryan Dempsey. Whaaa? *shrugs*

    Things are about to get fiery in Fiji!

    OMG! I know it’s not the most eloquent of words, but Grace and Ryan’s story was amazeballs! These two certainly packed a punch. (Watch it!!) The intensity of their connection, the passion (of the ‘I need a cold shower’ kind), their vulnerability (I defy anyone not to have a lump in their throats with each backstory reveal!), and above all, just the feeling of kismet when two characters come together. (Oi, I didn’t mean it like that! That was all you this time *wags finger*. I’m blameless! *whistles*)

    There are always certain friends I can rely on to help dissect book storylines with (including my latest BBF obsession – I’m a fickle fiend *shrugs*) and Bad Business was no exception. My *coughs* nameless friend (*points* she knows who she is) practically screamed ‘shower scene’ to me over FaceTime, lol. Ah yes, Ryan and the infamous shower scene. *sighs* The stuff dreams are made of!

    One thing (and there are numerous – fangirl here *points*) I can say about JC Harroway she does the build-up *winks* really, really well. A reader is never left wanting.

    Too much? Whoopsies! Sorreee, I got carried away as usual. Needless to say, Bad Business is a perfect dose of escape which will leave you craving your own taste of a beachcomber.
