Lala's Book Corner: Stilettos, Inc. by Lexi Ryan

"Brains. Attitude. Beauty that brings men to their knees-if their Jujitsu moves don't do it first. The women of the private investigation firm Stilettos, Inc. are not your average PIs. Each armed with a special power, there's no case the Stiletto Girls can't crack-until Specials start vanishing in growing numbers. Darian Lorring is an agent for the Specials Intelligence Agency (SIA), a secret government organization of humans with special powers. His unit's latest mission is to track the Stiletto Girls and determine their role in the assassination attempts on the president. But it's hard to keep secrets from a Stiletto Girl. His best defense? Keep sex on the brain. And Darian will eat and breathe sex to protect his country...having Paige in his bed again is just an added bonus. Empath Paige Sykes hopes solving the missing Specials case will answer unresolved questions of her mother's disappearance ten years ago. But one sexy, chauvinistic SIA agent continues to get in her way-and in her bed. How can she trust what she feels around Darian when his ability allows him to project emotions and physical sensations? How can she trust any man when her ex, Collin Raines, appears to be tied to attempts on the president's life? If you liked "Charlie's Angels," you'll really love this sexy, fast-paced paranormal!"

A few days ago I received the second book in this series for review. So I thought I'd read book 1 first. I went and got the eBook copy and I am so glad that I did =)
I went into this book with no expectations and came out throughly satisfied in more ways than one hehe. Right off the bat we get in the thick of the action and meet the girls from Stilettos, Inc. on an assignment. Their counterparts are the boys from the Special Intelligence Agency (SIA), and they are so hot! LOL.
For me this book was a mix of Charlie's Angels and Heroes and I really liked the result of it. The characters are so likable and interesting. The plot and world were well developed and not overdone. The smut was so freaking hot I needed a fan and it made me self concious seince I reading at school hehe.
The only thing that bothered me was Darian's macho BS of wanting Paige to stop being on the field for her "safety". It was really annoying, despite the fact that he was really sweet and loyal, to see that he wanted her to be stuck on desk job. Paige is a such a strong character and great at what she does, that I got pissed at Darian for her LOL.
I Loved Paige and Darian's story, it was so cute to see them getting closer and closer and their chemistry was scorching hot at all times.
This is paranormal smut at its best and such a quick and fun read. The characters are smart, witty and hot. I recommend this book to any paranormal romance and smut lover out there!
I give it 4/5 Loveys!
Smut Level 4.5/5! HOT!
