Aaron Parkes in Flirting With Danger is the
first reformed playboy I’ve written. In case you're not familiar with this
particular trope, the hero in such stories starts out as an unrepentant playboy,
committed to not committing, scoring with dozens of women and never showing
real affection for any of them. He’s the rake of regency romance, and the ladies’
man of contemporary romance novels. Charming, attractive and dangerous. The
love 'em and leave 'em type.
But one girl is immune to his charms.
Once he meets his match, the playboy begins
pursuing her as determinedly as he ran from all the women before her. But how
can he convince her that he’s genuine? How can she believe that he’s willing to
give up his womanizing ways and settle down with her?
In Flirting With Danger, Aaron’s co-worker
Jasmine is the one woman who doesn’t fall under his spell. In fact she despises
him. So when he begins to see her in a different light, he’s stunned. She’s not
his usual type, and definitely not a one-nighter.
The more time they spend together, the more
Jasmine realises that Aaron is not the shallow serial-dater that she’s always
thought him. There’s much more to Aaron than what's on the surface, and Jasmine
likes what she sees. But can she risk her heart with him? And can Aaron overcome
his own issues to give Jasmine what she needs from him?
Do you like the reformed playboy theme? Do
you like to see this type of hero changed forever by love for that one special
woman?

I like the reformed bad boy books, though I'm always waiting suspiciously for him to show his 'true colors'. Not very trusting of me, I know! ;)
ReplyDeleteI do! It's fun to watch them all find their true hearts in the stories :)
ReplyDeleteI have an ex who is a real life Aaron. Maybe he needs to read this!
ReplyDeleteI love a reformed playboy. They're one of my favorite types of hero. I especially like the way a woman brings him to his knees :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your release!
Hi Clare, I read your ANYBODY BUT HIM recently and loved it. I'm sure this one is just as nice. I have read this one too.
ReplyDeleteI like the reformed playboy theme. But can a playboy ever truly be reformed? ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the reformed bad boy books. Congratulations on the release Claire!
ReplyDeleteIt does seem to be a common theme. The key is putting a new spin on it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Claire!
Thanks for the comments and congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI think I can safely say that Aaron is truly reformed by his love for Jasmine. :)

Great to meet you, Claire!
ReplyDeleteHi, Nas ... I'm back :)
Always love these type of stories. I always say all a man needs is the love of a good woman. Congrats on the book, Claire. Happy writing.
ReplyDeleteLoved Flirting with Danger ... can't wait to read about some more bad boys !!!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds hard to do for him since he's a playboy. This looks like a fantastic read.
ReplyDeleteThe reformed playboy theme can be very entertaining, especially if the story presents him with a unique opportunity to prove himself to the heroine.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Claire! (And thanks, Nas.)
Flirting with Danger sounds like a fun read, Clair! I enjoy the reformed playboy theme--I like seeing those bad boys tamed by love;). Congrats with the new release!
ReplyDeleteWishing Claire the best of luck. I am curious about how the reformed playboy will change Jasmine's mind. It's not always easy for those playboys to change and proving it can be even harder.
