Fifteen minutes later, the whole sordid mess had been spilled between them and both her friends stared at Molly with a mixture of horror, amusement and curiosity. “Well, say something!” Molly yelled when neither of them said a word. “You’re supposed to be my sounding board, ladies!”“You’re engaged,” Sami managed to choke.“To the Devil,” Viv sputtered.“It could be worse, right?” Molly questioned, looking from one woman to the other and back again. “I mean, he’s not so awful, is he?”“He’s the Devil,” Vivian breathed, her brown eyes huge on her pixie face.“That’s not helpful, Viv,” Molly huffed, holding her bottle tucked tightly between her breasts as she sat cross-legged on the middle of her couch. “His nickname is Devil. He’s not really Satan incarnate.”“I’m gonna need a hit off that vodka bottle before we go any further,” Sami warned, holding out her hand and wriggling her fingers.“You’ll have to wrest it from my cold dead hands,” Molly replied, tightening her grip on the mostly gone liquor as she shook her head, red hair flying wildly.“You hold her down and I’ll pry it out of her hand,” Vivian said under her breath, only half joking as she eyed Molly.Snorting, Sami ran a hand through her naturally wavy locks. “Well, let’s look on the bright side. At least he’s got the whole eye candy thing going on for him. You may have to look into the face of evil every morning across the breakfast table, but the view will be pretty.”“What am I going to do?” Molly groaned, leaning her head back against the cushion as the throbbing in her head increased.Shaking off her shock, Viv straightened in her chair. “Well, first off, don’t panic. Devil can’t actually make you marry him.”“No, but he can coerce the hell out of her,” Sami argued, frowning at Vivian. “I mean, you heard her, Viv. He’s holding his dying grandmother over her head, for crying out loud.”
Sizzle by Sarah O'Rourke can only be described as a romantic comedy that will have you laughing, swooning and even feeling a little sad as you turn each page and become more immersed in the story. Without hesitation I would rate this book as 4 devlish stars and would encourage others to one-click this amazing read!
"A self-made millionaire several times over, he was cold and analytical in his business practices...and even more so when it came to his personal life."
Molly Ramsey couldn't be more wrong in her assessment of her brother's best friend and her boss William "Devil" Delancy, even knowing him her entire life. Devil has been friends with Grant since before Molly was born, he watched her grow from a child, to an awkward teenager trying to find her way finally becoming the irresistable woman that she is today. Some would say that he has been waiting for her to be a grown woman so that the feelings that he has for her can be acted on, but Molly believes that their entire circumstance is purely a means to an end, granting a dying woman's wish.
Devil is thought of as a man-whore, working his way through the entire population of the woman of Atlanta, only staying with each woman for a short time, and leaving them with a parting gift consisting of a note, some flowers and a gorgeous necklace. Molly thinks that he is despicable for the way that he treats woman but little does she know that the allusion isn't always what it appears to be.
When Nana has a mild heart attack and is bedridden in the hospital, Devil and Molly rush to her side to be with her. It is there that she tells Devil it would be her dying wish to see him settled with a wife and a family, but she knows that it isn't a dream that she will see come to fruition. Before she can blink or register what is happening, Devil has announced to his Nana that he is in fact engaged, and his fiance is Molly. Appalled at the statement and fuming mad, Molly doesn't contradict him in front of the woman who has been like a grandmother to her since she was born. However, her fury is released once her and Devil exit Nana's hospital room and it is then that my laughter began. The words that Molly spews to Devil and his ridiculous statement had me giggling as I read it, and the turn that this story took, unlike anything I have read before, had me wanting more and more.
"That doesn't entitle me to jackshit as far as I'm concerned. Just hand me a ring from a bubblegum machine and we'll get this Greek tragedy underway."
Little does Molly know that although Devil has proposed this marriage out of what seems like obligation, but it is actually what he wants and this was his way to get exactly that, Molly the woman that he has loved from afar for a year. What transpires throughout the second half of the book is comical, and endearing at the same time. Devil, being the millionaire that he is, tries to share his wealth with his fiance, but often goes about it in all the wrong ways, creating situations for Molly to get back at him for not thinking of how his actions would make her feel. She could care less about his money or his social status, she just likes him for who he is.
Just when the reader thinks that Molly has accepted her love for Devil and begins to believe that he actually does love her, the unthinkable happens and she runs for the hills. Will they make it to the alter? Or will a dying woman be denied her wish to see the grandson that she adores settled with a woman who loves him with his whole heart? You will have to read this amazing story to find out!
The supporting characters in this book were amazing in their own right and this reader is hoping that there may be spin off books for Molly's best friends Samantha and Vivian. Those are books I would definitely run to read! Sizzle is definitely a slam dunk and you would be crazy not to wrap yourself up in all the sexiness that is Devil Delancy!
Sizzle was a great book! I would give it five stars! This has to be one of the most hilarious sexy romances that I have read since Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren. I am certainly not comparing the two but I never thought I would laugh out loud at another book like I did that one. It will make you laugh and then it will sizzle your panties in the next scene. I devoured this book in one day..well one night really. I couldn't put it down. This story was told in third person POV so you get the thoughts of both characters. I am now a huge fan of Sarah O'Rourke!
Molly Ramsey is a young woman determined to make it in life without the help of family or friends. Her independence is everything to her and no man will ever change that. She works for her brothers best friend even though she fought her brother and William on it she knew she had bills to pay and she wouldn't take hand outs. So she finds her self being the Devils assistant and regretting every moment of it. Not only did she assist him in his business life but seems to have become his personal break up counselor to his many throngs of woman.
What kind of sin had she committed at the ripe old age of twenty-four to be saddled with Willy the Wonder Ass and his relationship woes?
She would quit her job but then her bills would fall behind and she couldn't have that. But when is enough enough. When a tragedy happens to William's grandma her world will literally get thrown into a tailspin of sizzling attraction she never knew she had and unexpected marriage proposal by the Devil himself.
Molly absently wondered if this was what it felt like to be burned alive. Every inch of skin that Devil's mouth touched felt like it had been branded by him... owned by him. His tongue was a heat-seeking missile and her body its target.
William Delancy AKA Devil is the symbol of sex on a stick billionaire. He is known as the ladies man and he only proves the point by having his assistant Molly deal with his break ups. He isn't afraid of breaking up with the woman and he leaves them with a gift and a note but of course they always want more but he refuses to deal with it... hence the nickname Devil.
The man had truly earned his nickname of Devil. Widely reported by the ladies to be Satan between the sheets, he was well known for his love 'em and leave 'em offense. He was also given credit as one of the shrewdest, most manipulative financiers in the industry by his contemporaries in the business and reputed to have a singularly unholy touch when it came to money. It did not help that he was also sinfully sexy in a tall, dark and dastardly kind of way... and charming as hell when he put his mind to it. Most woman saw Devil Delancy as a challenge, the thrill ride worth taking the risks.
Devil knows he earned his nickname at some point in his life, but little does his family or friends know he has been secretly lusting after Molly. He has been biding his time waiting for the perfect opportunity to show Molly that he has changed in the year that she has been working for him but doesn't know when that time will come for now he lives with his fantasies.
Devil snapped. It was the God's honest truth. His fantasies didn't count, damn it. A man's imagination was his own, and he could hardly control the vivid dreams he had when he slept, could he? Hell, Molly was an attractive, desirable young woman that any red-blooded man would find appealing, but he'd behaved honorably even in the face of temptation.
When his grandma falls ill Devil see's his chance to finally make it known how he feels about Molly, but of course he does it in a devil fashion. His grandma's dying wish is to see him get married and what better way to make his grandma at ease by telling her that he is engaged and to Molly. Even though it seems to be all a ruse to keep grandma happy things will happen.. passion will ignite and sizzle... and mistakes will be made. But in the end can The Devil himself give in to his desire of love he has for Molly or will it be Molly that will give up?
You will have to pick these book up ASAP! You will absolutely love every minute of it and hopefully you will become a huge fan of Sarah as I am now! I can't wait for more from this author...and soon please!
