Someone borrowed is something new… Nikki Fine’s debut as an exotic dancer is also her closing act. Because the moment she pops out of the “cake” at a bachelor party, Nikki manages to whack Adam Burke. Fortunately, he overlooks their collision, which leads to a very private – and satisfying – encounter.
But it seems this fling isn’t meant to be. It turns out Adam is a conflict of interest at Nikki’s new day job – the one she can’t afford to lose. Resisting him is easier said than done when he keeps turning up at the office. Maybe she can risk borrowing this bachelor one more time…
All the Groom’s Men: These guys are too hot to be left at the altar!

I'm always happy to read a Blaze romance and wasn't put off by the unusual premise or how the characters meet in the beginning. Unfortunately, after reading the book I feel that these are the only positive things I can say about it.
Firstly - the characters. Adam was far too immature for my tastes right off the bat and not just because he was only 25. I prefer the male lead to be a strong, confident man but Adam was a juvenile, college boy. Nikki, however, just left me shaking my head in disgust. She too was young, immature and so whiney that I actually couldn't stand her. The pair had no chemistry and the sex scenes were embarrassing to say the least. I want to read about men I want for my own and women that can inspire me - not two kids fumbling and groping about, playing at love and sex.
The plot was flimsy and ridiculous and just didn't interest me at all, I'm afraid. The language used was unbelievably unsophisticated and I just couldn't believe how the characters acted and interacted.
Whenever I put this book down, which was often, I started thinking that perhaps I was being too harsh and that it couldn't have been that bad. So I would pick it up to read again and find out that yes, it really was that bad.
Some books are so bad they are funny. This book didn't even reach those heights. I'm actually flabbergasted that this was a Blaze book and will be avoiding this author from now on. I'm still shaking my head that I wasted so much of my time reading this book and I can't recommend it by any stretch of the imagination. 1 star.
