Touch Me Not, A Manwhore Series Novel by USA Today Bestselling Author Apryl Baker
A past tragedy has left Lily Holmes burdened with a
devastating secret…
Since the death of her twin sister, Lily can’t bear to be touched. Not accidentally, not casually…and certainly not intimately. This makes it impossible for her to confess to her best friend Adam Roberts that she’s in love with him. She can’t give him the sort of relationship he needs, so she watches in silence while he plans his wedding with someone else.
Enter Nikoli Kinkaid, the campus manwhore…
Nikoli is a self-proclaimed connoisseur of women, and he wants to add Lily to his list of conquests, but she wants nothing to do with him—until he makes her an offer she can’t refuse. He’ll teach her to enjoy human contact again, giving her a chance to win over Adam, while Nikoli uses all his considerable charm to seduce her.
But Lily raises the stakes…
Lily loves cars. Her late father was a racer, and she grew up under the hood of a car and on the racetrack. Nikoli has a limited edition 1970 Plymouth Barracuda she covets, so she informs him the terms of their deal also require he not sleep with anyone for six months. If he does, she’ll win the car. If she surrenders and ends up in his bed, his beloved ’Cuda is his to keep.
In an intricate dance of control and surrender, a reluctant friendship becomes something more. Lily begins to crave things she never believed she could, and Nikoli realizes there is more at stake than his reputation.
If Lily overcomes her phobia, will she crave Adam’s touch as she’s starting to crave Nikoli’s? Or will she only find pleasure from the touch of a semi-reformed manwhore?

So who am I?
Well, I'm the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary
movies. My friends laughs at me when I scare myself watching them and tells me
to stop watching them, but who doesn't love to get scared? I grew up in a small
town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days
roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights
I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my
parents yelled at me to go to sleep.
Growing up in a
small town, I learned a lot of values and morals, I also learned parents have
spies everywhere and there's always someone to tell your mama you were seen
kissing a particular boy on a particular day just a little too long. So when you
get grounded, what is there left to do? Read! My Aunt Jo gave me my first real
romance novel. It was a romance titled "Lord Margrave's Deception." I
remember it fondly. But I also learned I had a deep and abiding love of
mysteries and anything paranormal. As I grew up, I started to write just that
and would entertain my friends with stories featuring them as main characters.
Now, I live
Huntersville, NC and a small town in WV where I entertain my niece and nephew
and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they
swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling
something fierce...lol.
My books are
published with Limitless Publishing, LLC, a small publisher who I love.
I love books, I
love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

Touch Me Not from Apryl Baker was a 5 star read.
Romance, 2 Hot Alpha’s
“I don’t give up that easy, Lily. I always get what I want.” “Then get used to disappointment.”
I really enjoyed this great read.
Lily is in love with Adam her best friend who happens to be engaged to a whiny self centered bit@@ Sue. Adam only sees Lily as a sister which is heartbreaking to her.
Nikoli is the campus “Manwhore”, he screws woman and has his friend Luther shoo them out when he’s finished. While looking for his next conquest he spots Lily and decides he has to have her. He is shot down immediately by Lily, a first for him. Challenge accepted.
Nik notices that Lily seem’s to have feelings for Adam and makes a deal with her. He will help her get over her phobia of being touched so that she can get Adam to love her. His motive? Nik wants to f@@k her. However the jokes on Nik, as he gets to know Lily he finds himself falling for her. Will Lily get Adam? Will Nikoli be able to let her go?
How was he going to break her heart? How was he going to look into the eyes of the woman he loved and tell her he didn’t lover her?
I really enjoyed this read, Nik and Lily ended up having such a deep connection that really brought them together. Her love of cars and being a gamer really surprised Nik. The ending came together good, however it felt a little rushed. I loved all of the friends and family, they all added a great element to the story.The question still remains, Who is the serial killer? I can’t wait to see what book #2 will have in store for us. Thank you Apryl Baker for a great read.
