Publisher Description
Under his touch, your every desire will . . . Bloom
Today is the day Francesca Thomas was supposed to get married. All she wants is a stiff drink and a whole lot of distraction . . . which is exactly when she meets him. Tall, dark, and deliciously disguised, the man known only as Phantom awakens her every sense. All Frankie really knows about him is the raw, untamed chemistry that makes her want to relinquish herself-body and soul-to his touch . . .
Phantom has rules, all designed to protect his identity. No names. No personal information. But Frankie is a too-tempting ingenue who threatens all of his cautious, careful control. At the ultra-exclusive Black Rose Underground Club, he can explore each of her deepest, uncharted desires . . . so long as he keeps his public life-and his secrets-hidden.
Frankie's ready to explore what lies between them. The intensity, the darkness, and the unyielding pleasure of it all. But while the mystery of Phantom is thrilling, secrets are one game she won't play. And if she's going to explore the forbidden, she'll begin with finding out exactly who's under the mask . . .
Contains mature themes.

Frankie and her Phantom
4.35 stars (E-book review)
This is the second book in the Black Rose series, and it can be read as a standalone. However, as characters from the first book are included here, I suggest reading it prior to this one. Francesca, aka Frankie, thought she had everything planned out for her wedding until it all came tumbling down. Making matters worse, her sister announces her engagement on the day the nuptials were supposed to take place. Not able to deal with her family at the dinner, she leaves and winds up at a bar where she meets this tall, debonaire and suave man in a mask who is called Phantom. There is something electric that sparks between them and he is the perfect way for Frankie to forget her troubles as she gets lost in his magnetic personality. Phantom is not looking for a relationship. He just wants someone to play with while he maintains his hidden identity. However, Frankie’s beguiling eyes just seem to pull him in…
It feels as if one can hear the instrumental music from The Phantom of the Opera playing as the pages turn just waiting to get to the crescendo. I enjoyed getting to know Frankie better but felt that she lost some of her fire that was in the first book. Once again, Ms. Hardt penned an intriguing storyline that flows well and gives readers relatable characters that they can feel the emotions and struggles that they are going through. I look forward to reading more.
