"Luscious" by Lori Foster. Twin sisters Bethany and Marci Churchill share an apartment (breaking the lease) when the former quit her job and dumps her boyfriend. Though she would not mind a roll on the sheets with her sister's landlord, hunky SWAT police officer Lucius Ryder, she knows he desires Marci. However, the police sergeant amazes her that he can tell which twin is which and soon with the matchmaking of her sibling and the Dog Hero, Bethany and "Luscious" Lucius fall in love.

"It's About Time" by Erin McCarthy. County prosecutor Trish Jones has had it with smooth-talking suits who lie and ultimately fail to show up on dates. She is commiserating at the local bar when she notices hunky Caleb Vancouver, whom she has known for fifteen years, getting drunk as his ex-wife remarries tonight. Caleb plans to celebrate with a one night stand once he picks someone up. When he and Trish talk, drink and ride into the night on his bike for a tryst, both realize it must be love when he begins to think about letting her drive his Harley.

"Wish You Were Here" by Amy Garvey. Photographer Mackenzie Pruitt plans to use the summer to convert a ramshackle shed into a studio. Her plans modify when hunky carpenter Leo Dawson arrives to work on the renovation. Mac wants Leo to work on her renovation, which he will gladly show her how to use a screw.

These three hotter than a lit match contemporary romances uses the successful Bad Boys theme to provide readers with delightfully heated tales of summer love between three bad hunks and the women who somewhat civilize them.
