hot damn :-)

Dade's story was a little different than his other band members because Rayne has no idea how famous he is back home. They meet on vacation and the moment they see each other, it's an instant attraction. Spending 8 days together, Dade is called home because his sister is in the hospital. Dropping everything, he remembers to let Rayne know he is leaving when he realizes he has no way to contact her and the name she gave is not at the hotel. Miffed he heads home to take care of his emergency.
Rayne feels betrayed that the one time she has a fling, the guy stands her up just when they were starting something real. When she runs into Dade at a celebrity event and finds out who he is, she is not certain she can open her heart to being hurt again.
Dade has always been the responsible one, can he focus on his own happiness for a chance at love?
This story was different then the others and I love variety. The way each member of the band grows up from being a wild rock stars into grownups ready for a relationship. Awesome Read!!

There are times when a long, drawn out review should be written and others when I prefer to get straight to the point and leave it short and simple. And, this is one of those times when a long review isn't needed. Alluring Infatuation is the BEST book written by Skye Turner to date!!!

Melonie and Dade, oh my!! What a love story they have. We meet the two of them while they are on vacation and of course, she has no idea that he is a mega star. Everything seems to be going well, until one of them has to unexpectedly leave the island and go back to reality. Through pure coincidence, their paths cross again and it is explosive (and I don't mean that in a good way) and realistic!! Once the surprise, shock, and anger wear off the real fireworks begin between the two!

The build up of the relationship between Dade and Melonie is quite realistic. They are two fictional characters that are used to holding back because they are afraid of letting their guard down and getting hurt. Dade serves as a reminder that no matter if you are a celebrity or a regular person, the one thing we are looking for is someone who is interested in more than our exterior and take the time to see what is on the inside.

I love how Skye ties in the characters from the previous books into this one and we get a sense that Bayou Stix is more than a band. They are a family. With this being said, Skye gives us a glimpe into the next storyline which will feature my favorite band member, Cruz!!!!

I've read every book from Alluring Turmoil to this newest release by Skye and it is so nice to see her progression as a writer. It has gotten much cleaner, crisp, and her descriptive skills have soared. She has demonstrated the ability to write drama, humor, romance, and some steamy sex scenes all flawlessly! If you don't believe me, just wait until you get to the Hummer scene in Alluring Infatuation!!!

OMD = Oh. My. Dade!!

This is book 4 in the Bayou Stix series and is Dade and Melonie's story.

We got a little preview into these two characters’s situation in the last book in the series and I was anxiously waiting to read their story. Skye does not disappoint. We get all of Skye's goodness, hot steamy scenes, romance, comedy, AND a “Hummer scene”, you’ll know when you get there, holy hell, that was crazy good.

Dade goes on vacation for a much needed break from the stress that entails being part of the famous band, Bayou Stix, and their latest tour. While on vacation he meets a gorgeous woman who rocks his socks off. They spent most of their time “together” and they are having a great time. Their little affair was HOT. The scenes while they are on the island are scorching. You will need a fan, a change of panties and definitely a cold shower after reading. That is until one day, Dade receives a call and has to run back to the States without a way of getting in contact with her before leaving. So she is left thinking he just didn't care enough to let her know he was leaving.

Then they meet again. To say they both were surprised is the understatement of the year, Melonie is Clove’s OB/GYN, and yes, Clove is Dade’s little sister, can you say small world? That first second meeting was crazy!!!! And I loved every minute of their crazy journey to working things out and trying out to continue what they had while on vacation, in the real world. It’s very interesting to see their way of communicating and working out their issues and their relationship. Their chemistry is off the charts and it’s great to see them discovering their feelings for each other.

I love that we get to see all of the other characters we have come to love in this series and what they are up to in their lives. The book as everything I have read from Skye thus far, is well written and the characters are entertaining and real. You feel like if they are friends, ones I miss right after reading each book. If you haven’t read this series do yourself a favor and get one clicking, you will love it!! Now I just need my Cruz to get here already <3

Dade is by far my favorite character in this series!!!! I fell in love with him right from the start of this book. The way he takes care of his little sister Clove you just know he has a huge heart. Melonie is also one of my favorite characters ( an no not just because we have the same name spelling and all LOL) When Melonie and Dade meet the sparks are there from the very start. What starts as a lust filled haze quickly turns to more and then they are seperated with no way to see each other again. When they finally see each other the circumstances are completely different. Both are so angry from a misunderstanding. Melonie is not Clove's doctor and had no idea who Dade really was. Thier rocky relationship will leave you shaking your head and wanting to knock some sense into both of them.

This book has everything that you have come to know and love from Skye Turner's writing!

You will remember that we first met Dr Melonie Bird during Alluring Temptation, and found out that Melonie and Dade knew each other right at the end of that book - and wow, wasn't that explosive!!

You could read book 4 as a

Now we find out the story behind that meeting.

I loved the instant spark between Dade and Melonie... or should we call her Rayne? From the minute they saw each other across the pool it was hot hot HOT! I mean you seriously get proximity burns from being in the same room as them! The scenes on St John's were beautiful and sexy and fun.

I loved the play between them. It is not all just about the sex - which is smokin' - but they genuinely are interested in each other. But neither is 100% honest with the other, which frustrated me no end! They are so into each other, so imperfectly perfect for each other, and they are sabotaging things right from the start.

Dade is the one in his motley crew of friends who they all seek for stability. He is all about his family and friends. But Melonie has him all out of whack. I love that he is all aflutter over her. Although he is wonderful with his family, he has seemed a little aloof when it comes to relationships before, but now it is a new Dade we see. I loved the insanely jealous Dade (though in real life it would drive me insane!!)

I was so happy that they got to reconnect. Although I wanted to slap them both for being so stubborn and not talking to each other, talking out their issues, I was glad that they didn't jump straight back into what they had on the island. No matter how much they were attracted to each other, I felt that they needed to get to know each other in the "real world" to see if what they experienced on the island was more than just a fling.

So, is real life enough good for them, can they get through the differences in their lives and get the HEA they both crave?

Nuh uh you will have to read for yourself to find out.

The whole crew is back in Alluring Infatuation. All of his band mates, their partners, their friends. They are a fantastic group of friends. All up in each other's business, the first to make fun of each other, but the first and fiercest to defend each other too.

Ms Turner has created a group of people that feel extremely real to the reader. Yes, the guys may be famous, but you don't get that feeling about them, they feel like the guys you went to school with, the ones who live down the street or you see at the pub on a Friday night.

And every book in this series just keeps getting better and better. I think that Alluring Infatuation is my favourite in the series so far - but I have loved each and every single one!

Now I am all impatient for Cruz's story!

Oh, and after reading Alluring Infatuation, you won't be able to look a Hummer the same way again!!
