Never tell a lie. Especially not to a cocky CEO who knows exactly how to seduce you. They always come back to bite.
I should have remembered that before I spent the night with Liam Salinger.
In my defense, he’s stupidly attractive and knows it. He also willingly admitted to me that he never sleeps with the same woman twice.
So I shouldn’t feel too bad about lying to him the next morning. We can forget about each other and get on with our lives, right?
Wrong.
We’ve both been chosen as godparents to my best friend’s gorgeous newborn. Which means we’ll be spending a lot of time together, much to our mutual disgust.
And yes, he looks great cradling a tiny baby against his expensively attired chest. Plus he’s funny, irreverent, and weirdly protective toward me.
But I’m not going to fall for his charm. Not a second time.
I just have to keep telling myself that.

I have been devouring Carrie Elks books for years now. And after I read ‘Strictly Business’ last year, and absolutely loved it, I couldn’t wait to read more books in this series. So when I got the opportunity to read ‘Strictly Pleasure’ I got super excited and started reading right away.

In ‘Strictly Pleasure’ we meet Sophie and Liam. They met a year ago when her best friend and his brother got engaged. From the moment they meet there is something between them. But not necessarily in a good way. Now they are both godparents, and they have to spend more and more time together. And the more they do, the more Liam realizes Sophie is the one girl he would like to change his ways for.

I loved reading this story right from the start. Sophie and Liam are both very fun characters and I loved getting to know them. They both have had some difficulties to overcome. Liam has witnessed his father getting divorce after divorce. Which made him realize more than one night isn’t for him. And Sophie is exactly the opposite. And when Liam starts to show interest in her, she doesn’t trust it at all.

The chemistry between Liam and Sophie was flying of the pages right from the start. I loved reading their banters, and the way Liam tried to find ways to make sure Sophie knew his intentions. It was also fun to read about Sophie’s job a bit. Being a weathergirl sure seemed very interesting, and I loved reading that part of the story as well.

‘Strictly Pleasure’ was one of those books you just want to read in one sitting, and I honestly almost did. Sophie and Liam where an amazing couple, and I also loved reading a little bit about the main characters in the previous books. I can’t wait what’s in store for the other Salinger siblings.

About Carrie Elks

Carrie Elks writes contemporary romance with a sizzling edge. Her first book, Fix You, has been translated into eight languages and made a surprise appearance on Big Brother in Brazil. Luckily for her, it wasn’t voted out. Carrie lives with her husband, two lovely children and a larger-than-life black pug called Plato. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found baking, drinking an occasional (!) glass of wine, or chatting on social media.
