BLURB:
When hot actor Brem Lockwood enters her life, Madelyn has a
choice—stay safe with an online fling or risk her heart for a chance at real
love.
Divorcee Madelyn Stacilli has baggage deeper than
the Grand Canyon, and her move to New Haven to start a new life is the perfect
change she needs. When vicious gossip stunts her plans to open her own
business, she can't confide in anyone around her. But online, beneath the
blanket of anonymity, she can let loose and find comfort with the mysterious
Easton216. Their natural, open relationship is a breath of fresh air.
When British A-list actor Bremond Lockwood rents the
house beside her to escape an intense media spotlight and malicious past, he
charges headlong into her life. Madelyn grows torn between her steady,
emotional online connection and a fiery affair with a Hollywood star. Brem’s
intense passion ignites the embers of her sexuality from a long slumber, making
her burn hotter than the sun.
Should she stay safe with her online love or risk
her heart with the man in front of her? The road to recovery just got a whole
lot more complicated.

EXCERPT
She turned back to the stove to hide her blush.
“I take it you like it?”
“Oh, yeah. I like it.” There was a gravelly undertone to the words.
Her cheeks burned. “Could you hand me the wooden spoon on the wall peg there?”
He leaned over her and reached for the wooden spoon. He paused, the tip of his nose grazing her hair.
“Mmm. Your hair smells delicious.”
She gnawed her lower lip as her heart skipped a beat. “Thanks.” She turned to face him, and the embers of his evident desire radiated like a power plant.
“Bloody hell, Madelyn. I’m sorry. Feel free to punch me.”
She furrowed her brow. “For what?”
“This.”
He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her full on the mouth. She gasped as her insides liquified. Jeez… Forget decent kisser. Forget experienced. This guy was a mouth sensei. She clutched his shirt and pulled him closer. He smiled against her mouth and opened her lips
with his tongue, touching the tip to hers. She melted. His lips soothed, scrubbing away the scars of the past. She hadn’t been kissed in almost two years.
He drew her in close and kissed her like his soul was on fire. She moaned, wrapped her ankle around his and wound her arms around his neck as her body ignited. She hadn’t planned on skipping dinner and going straight to dessert, but by God, they were headed there.

My review:
3.75 out of 5 stars
Type Dirty to Me by Roxanne D. Howard follows recently divorced Madelyn as she makes a new start in life, including opening a bookstore/coffee cafĂ©, complicated by a famous neighbor who is interested in her but also going through his own trials post-divorce, as well an online friend who is pushing for more intimacy than she’s ready for. Then there are those threats she’s receiving…
This adult contemporary romance story has an intriguing twist as the heroine grapples with her attraction to both her online friend and her charismatic neighbor. This is a great story about second chances and the complications that can accompany them. The mystery/suspense element is a little forced and predictable to me, and I’d like to know these folks a little more in-depth, but I liked watching the relationship evolve between the main characters and the way he is so supportive of her hard work and her dream even as he coaxes her to own her sensuality and to relax occasionally.
