Synopsis:
Keela Daley is the black sheep of her family. She has always come second to her younger cousin Micah. Even in the eyes of her mother, Micah shone bright, and Keela faded to black. Now, in adulthood, Micah is a bride-to-be and the spotlight is solely on her. Keela is a low priority...or so she thinks.
Alec Slater is a bachelor, never one to bed the same woman, or man, twice. He is a free agent who does what he pleases and answers to no one; that is until a fiery Irish redhead with a temper to match her hair colour knocks him on his arse. Literally.
She hates to admit it, but Keela needs a favour from the cocky Slater brother, a huge favour. She needs him to not only escort her to Micah's wedding, but to also pose as her boyfriend. Alec agrees to help Keela, but has certain conditions for her to abide by. He wants her body and plans to have it before anyone can say I do.
What he doesn't plan on is losing his heart as well as the possibility of losing his family when someone from his past threatens his future.
Alec owns Keela, and what Alec owns, Alec keeps.

Review:
Alec is the second book in the Slater Brothers series by L.A. Casey and I can't stress how important it is (at least in my opinion) for you to read Dominic first. Yes, you could probably do without reading Dominic because the majority of the important stuff is explained again but why would you do that.
Alec's book quickly topped Dominic's as being my favorite book from the series so far. Alec may even be my favorite Slater Brother but only time will tell if he will hold that position.
Alec is my favorite type of book boyfriend. He's tattooed, cocky, and has a filthy mouth (I mean that in the best way possible). "I can feel how close you are Kitten. Do you want to come?" << Swoon and commence panty dropping. Some of those sex scenes, whew. I needed a COLD shower, for sure.
Keela, on the other hand, is one badass female. Sure she thinks Alec is attractive (who wouldn't?) but she's not about to fall for his smooth talking ways. What does she do when she first meets him? She pushes him when he's caught off guard and he falls on his ass. << HILARIOUS.
This book had many more hilarious moments as well as some heart breaking ones that had me crying right along with the characters. It was a emotional roller coaster full of laughing, crying, swooning, and panting.
I was immersed into the story from beginning until the end. I could NOT put this book down. I even tried to once and immediately picked it back up after a couple of seconds. I didn't end up finishing it until 4 am the next morning. To say I was dragging that day would be a serious understatement but it was all worth it in the end.
I can't wait to see what L.A. Casey has in store for the rest of the Slater Brothers.
***** out of 5 stars.
