Love is a trap, a trick only other people fall for. Former Navy SEAL Nolan has no such illusions. The only things real in his life are his beloved bulldog and the two women in his life. One is soft and innocent, someone he could build a real future with. But the other is dark and gives him all of the wicked things he craves behind closed doors. What starts out as casual quickly becomes complicated. Can he walk away from a sure thing for something that’s foreign territory?
Nolan thinks we met by chance. We didn’t. I sought him out, seduced him, and in return got the sanctuary I needed to survive. But now, impossibly, I’ve fallen in love with him. I don’t care that he has another lover, because when he finds out who I am, it’s going to ruin any chance I ever had with him anyway. She’s the least of my worries.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very different from anything I’ve read so far this year. It wasn’t what I expected though I wasn’t disappointed in the least. Bait & Switch is hot, intriguing and filled with angst. It’s fast paced and really keeps you on your toes. The relationship between Nolan and Daniella is very unique. He’s comfortable with where life is. Until Lacey comes along and stirs things up. I loved Nolan. Yeah, some of his decisions were questionable but I feel like his heart was in the right place for the most part. He’s a protector and very loyal to those that he cares about. Lacey is on the run. After getting mixed up with the wrong people, she’s doing her best to solve her problems on her own. She didn’t expect Nolan to come and knock her off of her feet. I admire that Lacey tried to do what she could on her own instead of depending on others to solve her problems for her. She needed to prove to herself that she could make it in her own. I really enjoyed the banter between her and Nolan, and their chemistry is undeniable. Kendall Ryan really draws you into thei story from start to finish and I was so sad when it ended.
EXCERPT
She hooked one leg over mine, and I rocked my hips into her pelvis to let her feel what she’d done to me. Lacey groaned. “I take it you liked the massage.”
“What gave me away?” I asked, breathing hard against her neck.
“A certain wayward southern appendage.” She ground into me again, her hips moving against mine.
I almost chuckled. Almost called her out for being too prissy to say the word cock . . . until her hand slid down to my jeans to unbutton me.
“Maybe he needs some attention too,” she rasped against my throat.
I hadn’t come here for this and wouldn’t have pressed her, but I also wasn’t going to turn her away. We would take things at whatever pace she wanted.
Tugging down the zipper to her shorts, I was desperate to touch her and bring her pleasure. I pushed my hand inside her shorts, fumbling when she reached down to grip my denim-covered erection. Christ.
My fingers soon found what they were looking for. She gasped as I rubbed in slow circles through her panties. Even with the cotton barrier, I could feel the firm bud of her swollen clit. I sucked in a breath when she tightened her fist, kneading my hard cock.
“Together,” was all she said. But I understood. Only a little impatiently, I waited until she had unzipped my jeans before slipping my fingers under her panties.
I gave a soft groan at the feel of her hot, slick folds. “God, baby, you’re so wet already.”
“All for you,” she murmured huskily. “Touch me, please.”
I obeyed in a heartbeat, echoing her moan when she pulled my cock free and started stroking up and down with whisper-soft strokes.
