Booky Ramblings...: Blog Tour ~ Cherry Tart by Scarlett Jade

Cherry Kilgore is a plus sized beauty who moonlights at a strip club and goes by the name Tart. She dances to have control over her body and chase away her demons, hiding behind a mask, the only thing that makes her feel free. She loves 'em and leaves 'em, never letting a man get too close. Until she meets a man one night that strips her bare with his electric green eyes.

Kellan Morgan is a playboy with a good heart, who loves a woman with real curves.

When he figures out that the woman hiding under her mask is worth revealing, he decides to play her game... A game that is full of pleasure, pain, going the distance and finally getting the ultimate prize...

Realizing that love can truly be found in the darkest of places

Ramblings . . .

It’s Scarlett Jade’s time to shine . . . it must be because this book is awesome.

For once, we have a woman in control and blimey does Cherry take control like a mo’fo. Cher Kilgore ‘Cherry Tart’, a Secretary temp by day and masked stripper by night. Cherry is sassy, sexy and far from “perfect” which is what makes this so empowering. I love her!

Kellan Morgan, a sharp business-man with a body I would like to strip a suit from. He knows what he wants and he gets it. Until Cherry, who doesn’t give in quite so easily.

“You want to play games, my sweet little Cherry Tart? We’ll play games. How bad do you want it?”

As always, Scarlett delivers comedy in her words. Her sense of humour always shines through and even more so in Cherry Tart, did I find myself chuckling at a line.

“They looked a lot like oompa loompas had caught them in the back alley behind a hairdresser, snatched their weaves while they got bone from the back, and then beat them with a 64 box of Crayolas”

Now that is not only funny but that line takes a lot of damn imagination.

Cherry Tart is definitely NOT a sappy romance. Cherry Tart is a, panty-dripping steamy romance. I can honestly say there is a slim pile of books that I have read where the woman takes control in the bedroom. When it happens, I actually think it’s kinda hot. It makes a change and as I said before, it’s empowering. Cherry Tart loves ‘em and leaves ‘em so this chick is not messing around. She knows exactly which strings to tie in the bedroom ;)

“I finally feel alive. You brought color into my world”

But please, this book isn’t all about the sex (it’s totally about the sex) SERIOUSLY it’s not ALL about the sex. It’s about the changes one traumatic life event can make to a person and the collateral damage involved. It’s about picking yourself up and saying “Eff you” and watching the transition as they fight for every ounce of courage and strength to be who they want to be.

The beautiful thing about this story is that Cherry doesn’t need nor rely on the love of a man. She is a strong, independent woman that got their all by herself. That’s not to say, I don’t love Kellan. I can’t wait to read what’s next for them. Cherry Tart only really scratches the surface of their relationship.

“If all you can give me is your body, I’ll do anything I can to win your heart until it is mine as well”

Damn, this review is getting long so I will draw to the end. You should buy this book. If I haven’t convinced you enough then at least buy it for a change, something different. Because that’s exactly what Cherry Tart is. Unique.

Scarlett Jade’s best yet.

Refreshing, HOT and sexy.

Did I mention it’s hot?
