SYNOPSIS:
After nearly four years with Jeff, everything fell apart. I found myself single, scared, but somehow liberated as well. Rather than stumble into another ill advised relationship, my best friend Sally helped me find focus. I would spend the next few months “finding myself” sexually. That’s how The Rebound List was born.
My journey begins with the first item on my list – a virgin. But it’s not easy to go from squeaky-clean committed girlfriend to wanton sex goddess. Hopefully I’ll have the guts to follow through!
What (or whom) would you do to celebrate your freedom after your first serious relationship breaks down?
ABOUT HEDONIST SIX
Call me “H.” or Hedonist if you prefer. I’m a Romance writer based in London and I’ve always been a dreamer, though it didn’t occur to me to write down the stories I kept dreaming up until 2012. You’ll not find flowery language and poetry in my work. What you will find though is believable characters, none of whom perfect, going through life and trying to find happiness. Just like the rest of us.
I first started writing because I craved to see more of “my kind of books” on the shelves. In any scenario, you’ll find me rooting for the underdog. The (emotionally) scarred hero who hasn’t really had much (or any) luck in love. The shy office worker who wants to pursue the man of her dreams, but hasn’t quite mustered the courage yet. All my characters are beautifully flawed and messed up, in a way that makes them perfect for one another.

Title:The Rebound List
Author: Hedonist Six
Hedonist List, ever since i've begun my journey with her with her Chance Encounter series, writes beautiful and heart warming novels that inspire women to be more than they could ever imagine. The Rebound List is no different, telling the story of Becky, a girl who has been in one serious relationship her entire life, and four years into her relationship, everything goes horribly wrong and Jeff leaves without giving her the answers she needs. Hoping to make things better, Becky decides, with the help of her best friend, to create a list of the things she would like to do sexually, the things that she's been holding back from discussing with Jeff.
If there's one thing i can depend on Hedonist Six is her ability to make me feel great about all those secret fantasies i may have and keep hidden from everyone else because the way she writes her stories empowers women - to have them delve into their darkest fantasies and own them. Becky's journey through her rebound list had me cheering her on, hoping that maybe throughout everything she goes through she finds exactly what she wants, but at the same time, wanting her inner goddess to come out full force without fearing being hurt as she was with Jeff. With each new book i read from Hedonist Six i'm loving her style even more and look forward to her new releases!

Title: One Night Stand
Author: Hedonist Six
It was a quick read about a girl needing to find a distraction with a one night stand in the hopes of regaining the control she seems to have lost with everything that's been going on with her life and business. Only, she never expected that the man she chose, sight unseen, would impact her to the point where one night isn't enough to satisfy her. The Chance Encounter series are the first novels I've read by Hedonist Six and they were, if nothing else, enchanting and captivating, making sure that suspense and action are intwined with romance and eroticism. I was curious to find out what this couple would do when faced with the problems of Lucy's business and the involvement of George with this woman considering he's part of a MC.
If nothing else, Hedonist Six knows how to write scenes that leave her readers hot and bothered and wanting to read on to find out how her characters will deal and handle all the obstacles that they are faced with and in this particular situation. I was enchanted by my first novel by Hedonist Six and i can't wait to read more from her in the future.
Beautiful Stranger by Hedonist SixMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Title: Beautiful Stranger
Author: Hedonist Six
If there's one thing I try to do every time I pick up a new books, it's to go in expecting everything and nothing, and even more so with an open mind. Here I am, having expected to find a direct link between Beautiful Stranger and One Night Stand that lets me go back and revisit our couple, Lucy and George, from the first instalment, but as I read along, I realized that Beautiful Stranger is an entirely standalone novel that so far has the setting as their only common aspect. Which, I must point out, was not something that turned me off - on the contrary, it had me hooked, I kept wondering how Hedonist Six would make this second instalment as interesting, if not more so, than the first? It didn't take long to find out how. In Beautiful Stranger, we're introduced to 24 year old Claudia and in his 40s Peter, who meet when Claudia's car breaks down on the side of the road.
Considering that Peter's regular tactics of throwing money at a problem to sold it doesn't work with Claudia when she continues to maintain her independence, I enjoyed watching these two find their balance and the way that they can be together albeit their own trust issues. Hedonist Six has a way of pulling in her readers and keeping them captivated, and Beautiful Strangers is no exception.
Only a Taste by Hedonist SixMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Title: Only A Taste
Author: Hedonist Six
Of all the books in the Chance Encounters series, Only A Taste ahs to be the most 'cutesey' of them all. Afraid of losing all the advantages that comes with living alone, Mandi has reservations about having to move back in with her parents, especially when she has such strong feelings for Callum, the man she meets the night before leaving her apartment. Unsure if one night is enough, both Callum and Mandi realize that their chemistry is different from any other they've ever felt before.
Hedonist Six managed to write a beautiful conclusion to her Chance Encounters series and it's one book that give you those small chills down your spine when you realize that some types of chemistry, love and connections are rare, but something that we all want. I was enchanted by Only A Taste as well as the relationship that grew and strengthened between Calum and Mandi. For certain Hedonist Six is one fascinating author that I'm curious to know more about in the very near future.

Synopsis: Some of us have to choose; family, or love?When Mandi (Mandeep Garg) is forced to move back in with her conservative parents, she’s preparing to say goodbye to all the freedoms she’s enjoyed so far: no curfews, no questions, and the freedom to date or hang out with whoever she wants. She spends her last night of independence with Callum, whom she has only just met. Sparks fly almost immediately. Can she say goodbye?
TV Chef Callum Byrne is used to getting what he wants, both from relationships and life in general. From his first meeting with Mandi, he realises she’s refreshingly different: his fame doesn’t impress her much. She tells him she’s only looking for one night of fun. Will he let her go?

EXCERPT: Callum
"Mr. Byrne, I can assure you that you won't find a better location for your new restaurant in all of Brighton." The estate agent flashes his extra-white teeth. He looks almost like a shark, readying himself to shred his prey to pieces - me in this case. "The rent is too high, it won't be viable," I argue, while looking around the empty establishment again. A lot of decorating would be needed as well. It's too much. "Think of the footfall!" He points out the window which is currently partially obscured by white paint. Still, masses of day-trippers can be seen from where we stand. "How about you speak to the owners again and let me know if the lease is negotiable? It will take a lot of investment to bring this property up to scratch." I offer him my hand, signalling the end of the viewing, as well as the discussion. If he comes down enough, I may consider this property, otherwise, it's back to the drawing board. "Very well. Thank you very much for your time." The estate agent shakes my hand slightly less enthusiastically than at the beginning of the meeting. After leaving the empty shop, we say our goodbyes and go our separate ways. It's a beautiful day, deep blue skies with not a cloud in sight. Warm too, the surging temperatures of our current summer heatwave evident in the amount of exposed skin outside. Apparently I'm overdressed. Swimming trunks and bikinis, that's Brighton's dress code in the summer. I stand out like a sore thumb in my jeans and button-up shirt. The footfall would be good here, though I'd expect my new restaurant to quickly become bookings-only once the new show airs. Perhaps I should consider a location that's a little further away from the madding crowds, and hopefully more affordable. I don't want to have to shutter up the place as soon as I'm no longer on TV. Enough work for one day though. Today is too lovely to waste. The beach is crowded, so much so I'm not at all tempted to go near it. Perhaps if I walk further out towards the western side of town I'll find some peace and quiet. But not without sampling some of the local refreshments. The only establishment not selling fish and chips around here seems to be the ice cream truck parked up on the pavement. There's a queue of people already waiting, but I can't help myself. Gelato will do that to a person. I join one of the two queues and wait my turn. It takes a while, but it'll be worth it. "One scoop of rum and raisin, please," I say, shocked to find that the girl to my left has word-for-word ordered the exact same thing. The two guys behind the counter look at each other and pause. "OK, you're going to have to sort this out between yourselves," my guy says. He seems to be in charge of the truck. "We've got one scoop left." Looking over at the girl I'm competing with, I'm struck by her exotic beauty. Big brown eyes gaze up at me, a mixture of disappointment and hope. Her full lips half-parted as if she's about to say something, but something interrupted her. I find myself uncharacteristically reluctant to speak up first, but it looks like I have no choice. "Let's flip a coin for it," I attempt a joke. Her stare tells me I failed. My eyes are quickly drawn to her hand, clutching a purple leather wallet. No ring, no tan line where one might have been. She looks young, but not inappropriately so. "I can just get something else," she whispers at last. Her eyes are still glued to me. Did she recognise me and that's why she's staring? Or is it something else? Have I got something stuck in my teeth? "I hope you won't take this the wrong way." I pause, while she raises an eyebrow. My guy, who decided to serve the customer behind me instead of waiting for us to resolve our gelato stand-off, pauses a bit too long, clearly listening in to our conversation. The black-haired girl patiently waits for me to finish, but something in her body language has changed. I'm sure she gets this all the time. Fuck it, I feel like a sleaze for even trying. "You have it." I turn to face the chalkboard again, ready to pick another flavour. "I'll have tiramisu," I tell the guy behind the counter, who just shrugs. I guess he was looking forward to watching me get shot down by this girl, had I actually made a move. Meanwhile, the younger guy hands the girl her scoop of rum and raisin in a cone, which she accepts with a smile. God, what a radiant smile. She takes her change and turns, walking off towards the beach. I quickly take my cup and impossibly tiny spoon and rush after her. "Excuse me, miss," I say, when I catch up with her a few steps ahead. She turns and stares at me again. How the hell do I do this without coming across like a total douche bag? Funnily enough, coming across like a douche has never been much of a concern. You win some you lose some, and ever since the first season of my show aired, I haven't really had to work hard to get female attention. But there's something different about this one. I wonder if much of my interest in her is caused by how hard she's making things? "Yes?" she asks, sounding stand-offish. Her rich amber-coloured eyes are too distracting, I almost forget what I was about to say. "I was wondering if I could take you out to dinner?" I ask at last. She scrutinises me from head to toe, as she considers the question. Perhaps she's wondering if it's worth the sacrifice to stick the ice cream in my face. "Do I know you from somewhere?" she says finally. Normally, I may have been more than happy to explain, but not this time. Oh yeah, I'm on TV, seems way too tacky. So I shrug. "Maybe I just have one of those faces?" My answer makes her pause as she cocks her head and looks me right in the eye. Shit, she can tell I'm bullshitting her. "Where would we go?" She has a lick of ice cream, rescuing some droplets that were about to dribble off the side of the cone. I hadn't thought ahead so far. What is it about this girl that she throws me off so much? "That entirely depends on what type of food you like." A hint of a smile plays on her lips. "I'm here with a friend, is she invited too?" Bollocks . Finally a full grin does appear on her face. "No need to look so shocked, I'm only joking." I smile back at her, relieved to have not made a complete arse of myself. Yet. "But I'd better let her know anyway." The girl turns to scan the beach stretching out ahead of us, before facing me again. "So. What time and where?" "Nine? Here? Unless you have a better idea." "Bear in mind I'm only here for the day, so I don't have a change of clothes with me. What you see is what you get, I'm afraid." She glances down at herself, smoothing down the multi-coloured cotton summer dress that covers what appears to be a bikini. "No matter, same here." I suddenly realise I don't even know her name. "I'm Callum, by the way." In the absence of a better idea of what to do, I stretch out my hand towards her. She accepts the handshake, though the slight curl of the corners of her mouth suggests I did indeed just make an arse of myself at last. "Mandi. Lovely to meet you." Yep, her tone confirms it. Ouch. I try to think of something else to say to break the tension, or at least to distract me from the instant reaction I feel upon touching her hand. What is it about her? You'd think I'd never interacted with a beautiful girl before. Why does she make me feel more like an awkward teenager than a successful and established thirty-year-old man? "Perhaps we should exchange phone numbers, so we don't miss each other in the crowds here," I mumble, while quickly pulling my hand back and fishing my mobile out of my pocket. "Sure," she says, before giving me her number. When we say our goodbyes immediately after, I can't help wondering if I'll ever see her again, or she'll decide she'd much rather vanish with her supposed friend. Only time will tell.DON'T MISS THE OTHER BOOKS IN THE CHANCE ENCOUNTERS SERIES, ALL STANDALONES!

Synopsis: A sexy older man, younger woman romance…
Age and wealth are just numbers, right?
Twenty-four year old Claudia has always been the sensible one. From her boring call centre job right down to her practical wardrobe; flash and extravagant are not part of her normal vocabulary. She may live in Ascot, the home of British horse racing, but the presence of all the moneyed revellers blocking her route home from work are more of a nuisance than a thrill. Until one of them catches her eye…
Peter’s life couldn’t be more different. All his life he’s worked hard to make it in the banking industry, to give his wife all she’s ever wanted. After a day of sipping champagne and watching the races, an indiscretion of hers with Peter’s colleague changes this picture-perfect vision of middle class life forever. He decides to cut and run, only, he hasn’t a clue where he’s going.
A chance meeting by the side of the road brings them together, making them forget their opposing backgrounds. Is passion alone enough to overcome their differences?

Synopsis: From casual encounter to something more?
Lucy is used to having a handle on things herself: her business, which she’s fighting to turn around after a rough patch, and her love life, which consists of carefully conducted casual encounters during which only she calls the shots.
A one night stand with George – the tall, husky biker whose rough exterior hides a gentler side – changes everything. Lucy’s usual approach doesn’t work anymore: come morning, she doesn’t want to say goodbye. Perhaps it’s time to let someone into her life for more than just one night?
Meanwhile, the crucial project she’s just landed is about to fall to pieces, threatening her reputation as well as her finances. Suddenly Lucy has to learn what it’s like to not be in control of anything at all.
