Overview

No More Miss Nice Girl!

Noah Drake walked out of her life without a word - just divorce papers. Marlayna O'Brian wanted answers and he was the only man who could provide them.

But there he was engaged to another woman - and she was invited to the party!

She gave him fair warning: "Seduction is the plan for today. Keep on your toes, Mr. Drake. You never know when or where I'm going to strike!

Marlayna found it so very easy to be deliciously bad! Especially when an American castle provided so many erotic nooks and crannies.

Did you know you can visit the 'pink' castle - it's real: www.singercastle.com

Editorial Reviews

Barbara Critiques
"Gold Five Stars - another keeper."
Romantic Times - K. Falk
"Ms. Chase remains nigh irresistible in any form!"
Chicago Sun-Times - Book Review
"Chase blends some wonderfully comic scenes with several more serious issues. But Chase's writing is so distinctive and her characters and dialogue so sharp that she carries it off."

Meet the Author

If you like sassy, laugh out loud, contemporary romances - some more explicit than others - you have found the right author!

Reviewers have called them: "cat & mouse" - "slow burn" - "hot and steamy" - "highly addicting" - "solid characters & lots of humor" - "amazing reads!"

I call them fun! My heroines are NOT: thin, petite, clueless or submissive. They are strong women who aren't looking for a man - until the right one comes along!
And those men! Tough-guy, alpha males who don't know what hit them! But do know they want MORE!

I also write erotic mystery/thriller's and the Agatha Christie nominated non-fiction "How to write the Amateur Detective Novel" which is in the FBI Forensic Library at Quantico.

    A must read...

    Marlayna and Noah's story is a great read. Rediscovering their love for each other after 6 years of pain, hurt, and emptyness ranged from anger to sweet and sexy...

    Audio Book Review: Anyone who has followed this blog understands

    Audio Book Review:
    Anyone who has followed this blog understands that I am a fan of Elaine Raco Chase’s writing – particularly her dialogue: there are few who write dialogue as well, that feels as natural and realistic.  In Lady Be Bad she continues to produce dialogue that is both real and in some places, blindingly poignant. 




    In this story, Chase has mixed up the expectations for the reader: taking a story that starts with the heartbreak of love lost and focuses on Marlayna as she regroups and redirects her life, finding success although no answers in the life she built for herself after running from Atlanta after an unexpected divorce.  Putting her best face forward, literally and figuratively, her modelling contract for a leading cosmetics company has her living comfortably if not entirely happily. 




    Invited to a weekend party to celebrate the cosmetic company owner’s daughter’s engagement was a ‘must appear’ for Marlayna: even though the proposed son in law was her ex-husband, Noah. 
    Now Noah was easy to dislike.  Granted his reasoning for leaving Marlayna and not providing an answer was misguided selfishness, but his utter dishonesty towards his new, young and very immature fiancé was horrible. And even though his feelings for Marlayna are wholly apparent in word and description, any man who would remain silent as his fiancé explains that his “liking me is enough, I can live with that, I know you don’t love me”, is despicable.  




    Both Noah and Marlayna are beautifully portrayed, with decided development and growth for both as they face their past, their feelings and they hope for a future.  The sexual tension and chemistry is apparent, even after all the years apart.  The narration of Jill Arehart clearly delineates the underlying emotional state of the characters, from the immature tone and stridency, to frustration, playful teasing and flirting and even despair, without over-reaching in either tone or inflection.  




    This is a romance that is loaded with nuanced characters set within a story of love lost and regained, guaranteed to put a smile on your face by the end.  Take some time to lose yourself and listen. You will not be disappointed. 




    I received a copy of the AudioBook from the author for purpose of honest review.  I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
