Review:
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Better than Sexy is the third book in the Sexy series by Carly Phillips, but it's not the last book. There is a 1001 dark nights novella coming, but the main story is finished with this book. Our characters finally got the closure they wanted and I couldn't be happier for them.
As the blurb reveals, Vivi is the sister of the man who killed Levi, Landon's brother. Just from that little piece of information, you know that the book won't be as light-hearted as the others. Landon and Vivi's journey was not an easy one, but in the end, it was worth it. The characters are better developed than any others in the series and a major part of the story dealt with Vivi's secret and how everyone reacted to it without taking from the main plot which is the romance.
The main characters from the previous books also appear and it was great! There wasn't a thing I did not like in the book, even if I wished that it was a little longer. I would recommend the book and the series.

Excerpt:
“So this is the bedroom,” she said, looking around the immaculate space.
“Yes, it is. Feel free to put your own touches on it for as long as you’re here.”The decorator had pulled together an apartment for three single men.
She treated him to a generous smile. “Thank you.”
Knowing he’d be tempting himself and not caring, he stepped closer until her feminine fragrance filled his nostrils. They stared at each other for a long, charged moment, desire he couldn’t escape building inside him.
She met his gaze and her lips parted. It wasn’t an invitation, but her eyes still held his, and she wasn’t backing away either.
He slid his hand behind her neck, cupping her soft skin. “I know I’m your boss, so no pressure,” he said as he applied a bit to her skin. “But I want to kiss you.”
She paused. Looked up at him. Then rose onto her toes. His mouth met hers. Warm and willing, her soft lips glided against his and his entire body came alive. He tightened his grip on her neck as he slid his tongue into her waiting mouth. She tasted sweet and he deepened the kiss, wanting more of her. With a moan, her body leaned against his, her breasts pressing against his chest.
Their tongues meshed and mingled. Their harsh breathing filled the room. The kiss went on and he was in no rush to end the moment. But suddenly she gasped and pulled away.
“We shouldn’t,” she said, brushing her damp lips with her hand.
“Because…?”
She swallowed hard. “I just … I need to focus on my work,” she said, turning away so he couldn’t see her face.
He narrowed his gaze, wondering if something more was at play. A woman didn’t kiss him like she did, then back off that easily. But he also wasn’t going to push her. He’d see how things between them played out during her time here and take his cues from her. Which didn’t mean he wouldn’t play up the charm and test her resolve.
“I think the apartment will work out well.” She headed for the door.
“Do you need help moving in?”
“I’ve got it but thank you,” she said in a strained voice.
“Who’s helping?” he persisted.
“Well, Ellie. Owen wouldn’t get his hands dirty moving my clothing over. It’s fine. We’ve got it. She’s borrowing her parents’ car.”
He rolled his eyes. “I’ll be over at eight a.m. tomorrow and we’ll get you moved in.
”He wasn’t going to leave the two women to drag all her things alone back and forth up to the apartment.
“We’ll get me moved in?”
He grinned. “I’ve got partners, don’t I? All you need to worry about is packing your things up. We’ll handle the rest.”
“But–”
He placed a finger to her lips, and damned if her eyes didn’t darken with desire. She might be focused on her career, but she was interested in him as well.
