Miranda Rose absolutely lives for writing. Unfortunately, there aren’t many readers that live for her books.
At least she can distract herself from bad reviews with her favorite hobby – trolling Charlie Shivers online. That dinosaur smut peddler wouldn’t know literature if it mounted him from behind. And, for further distraction, she meets the world’s hottest guy at her favorite writing conference, and when he mounts her from behind, she forgets all about that wannabe author.
Until she realizes Mr. Hottie Pants isn’t the cover model she’d presumed. He’s her archenemy in the flesh, Charlie Shivers.
She’s mortified!
And yet she still can’t keep her pants on around him.
Joe McCoy, aka Charlie Shivers, is over the moon attending his first Romancing The World conference as a panelist, especially when he meets the smoking author at the bar. But now that he’s discovered the true identity of his one-night stand, he’s tangled in a sticky web, thicker than a spider shifter (dibs on writing that one next!)
Though, sleeping with the enemy is kind of hot.
And scandalous.
And awesome.
But then he finds himself falling hard for the too-serious novelist, and now he’s pretty sure there’s no way he’ll make it out on top.
BLP REVIEW – Tracy
TOPPED was a good, fun read that got me out of a bit of a reading dip…. it made a change from some of the heavier, angsty reads I’ve had of late.
I must admit that when the story started I wasn’t sure that I was gonna like either of the main characters. Miranda (Randi Rose) was a bit, hmm, how would you say, too much? Not quite sure how I felt about her initially to be honest.
Joe (Charlie Shivers) I found a bit too laddish and the whole ‘Bro’ thing with his friends bugged me, felt it was a bit young and daft… BUT… as the book went on and this pair got together they kinda grew on me.
Their dislike of each other and their behaviour with the reviews and ratings verged on childish to a degree but to be honest, it wasn’t totally unbelievable (I’m sure you’ll get what I mean once you’ve read the book!)
The heat and attraction, even when they were trying their damndest to ignore their feelings and emotions, was scorching. Hate sex in particular definitely suited them.
Their snark and verbal sparring was amusing. I loved the dual POV – I do like knowing what a leading man is thinking – their internal musings on each other were funny and quite telling of their real feelings. How quickly they fell for each other was a little on the OTT side – but then, they do say that when it comes to strong emotions, love is akin to hate….
The backdrop of the author event and the assorted characters that made up the supporting cast were many and varied and I did wonder a few times how ‘real’ some of these people were!! 😉 lol!!
If you’re looking for a fun, quirky, shortish story grab a copy of Topped, it’s worth a read!!
I rate the book 4 *!!!

My favourite genre is PNR - yep, more than happy to admit that I’m a bit of a #parawhores...... but small town is a very close second!!! In saying that, I’ll read and review a real mix of genres - from the better known authors to new-to-me authors and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy the posts and that they might lead you to some ‘new to you’ authors.
Thanks for stopping by.
