Los Angeles, California – Present
Day
After breaking up with her
boyfriend, Hailey Burke isn’t looking to get involved with
another guy anytime soon. Especially a man she loathes: Zack
Creighton, who dates – and beds – just about any woman he
crosses paths with. Unfortunately, one night Zack is visiting
their mutual friend, Austin, and Hailey is forced to actually
talk to Zack. Later, after Austin takes off, leaving Zack and
Hailey alone, the sexual banter between them turns torrid,
eventually landing them in bed together. The next day, Hailey
has some regrets, not because of the great sex she had, but
because she’s now not sure she can ever forget Zack. It just had
to be the full moon that caused her to go to bed with Zack!
A terrific scorcher of a read, BAD
MOON RISING is full of sexy fun that’s guaranteed to bring
readers a smile or two. Hailey can’t get past Zack’s dating
history to see that he’s really a nice guy. Will they work out
their issues for a happily-ever-after?
You’ll definitely want to head over
to Samhain and grab your copy of BAD MOON RISING today for a
book I highly recommend.

Blue Ridge Mountains - 1934
New minister, Reverend Nathan
Andrews, has gone high up in the mountains in hopes of meeting
members of his congregation who have yet to attend services. He
is hot and sweaty from his exertion and earthly temptation in
the form of a backwoods girl named Grace Parkins, threatens to
melt him on the spot. After introductions, Grace invites him to
pick blackberries with him.
The berries are hot and sweet, as
is Grace as Nathan realizes that being a preacher does not mean
he is not also a man. A warm summer afternoon finds Nathan and
Grace discovering first love for both of them. Nathan also comes
to the understanding that God is not limited to theology and a
building.
The writing in BLACKBERRY PIE is
evocative of lazy, humid days. One can smell and taste the
blackberries and hear the sound of mosquitoes and other woodsy
sounds. The story is told with sensuality and gentle steaminess
as befits new love and the expressions of it. With BLACKBERRY
PIE, Bonnie Dee gives us a delightful 'slice' of life. I enjoyed
it and recommend it.

Chastity
Cuthbert owns a very successful matchmaking service that focuses
on matching Alaskan men with women from the lower forty-eight.
At what she hopes will be her last presentation for this
summer’s trip, Chas runs into someone you don’t expect to see at
one of her talks – a man. Unfortunately, he turns out to be not
just any man; he’s Dave Wellington, the mayor of the town where
Chas is bringing her group this summer. And Dave is not happy
about what he considers a group of wild women, disrupting his
town. He hadn’t counted on finding Chastity so appealing
though, and after their very public argument, they go somewhere
quieter to talk. Among other things....
There is a
lot to enjoy about the forty-ninth state, as readers find out in
LADIES! MEET RED HOT ALASKAN MEN. The engaging, sensual tale is
a tempting addition to the
Midsummer Night’s Steam
series.

Katherine Mayes and Caleb Beckett
work for Jubilee Hotels --- she in management and he in
Entertainment. It is against Company rules for employees to be
together, but for a few years Katie and Caleb have met during
the off season in a way that is strictly forbidden to them.
Although they were quite discreet, Katie's boss, Quentin
Collins, has found them out and gives Katie a choice: Caleb or
her job. Since time has proven that Katie and Caleb cannot stay
apart, they work out their own solution to Quentin's ultimatum.
I like these two characters very
much. Katie and Caleb are beautiful people who live
high-powered, detail oriented lives. But nothing in their lives
comes close to how they feel about each other. Lucious, steamy,
consentual sex makes them one and I am surprised that the
Boardwalk escaped scorching. Jamie Craig has a winner in LIASONS
IN JUBILEE. Sights and sounds are vividly depicted and all turns
out well. It is a good read and I recommend it.

Three
months ago, Cole Adams moved in next door to Jill Reed, and
since then he has become a permanent fixture in her fantasies.
When she inadvertantly spies on him having sex on their shared
balcony, Jill is embarrassed but intrigued – right up until she
realizes that he knows she watched. She’d like to avoid Cole,
but the next night he’s waiting for her.
ONE NIGHT
ON A BALCONY is the passionate, moving story of a woman afraid
of love and a man burned by it. While the sex between them
sizzles, there is also genuine emotion behind it, making a
long-lasting relationship more believable.

In the past, Sophie
Kincaid has made more than a few bad choices when picking a man.
Currently single and determined to turn over a new leaf, Sophie
isn’t on the look-out for anyone new, unless of course her boss,
Ian Grey, would look her way. Luckily he’s taken already so that
particular temptation isn’t too much of a problem. But then
Ian’s girlfriend dumps him, and suddenly Sophie’s biggest
temptation is flirting with her. Ian has always been in control
of his life, but being dumped by Nadia is giving him a whole new
perspective. And when Sophie asks him if he’s ever made a
spontaneous move in his life, Ian suddenly can think of more
than a few things he’d like to do, and they all involve Sophie.
Oh my, I never pictured a storeroom as a particularly
interesting place, but Sophie and Ian make it seem like one
very hot night spot. I think Ian (and Sophie) owe Nadia a
big thank you. ;-)

what her future will be.
Luka is a medved shifter and he knows that Zoya, who is a
Russian Forest Sprite of the Rusalki, is his mate. Zoya is not

most important question: whether or not Luka is her destiny. In

Luka is furious that Zoya has gone out alone and tracks her to
the forest. He feels the magic there and knows that if he can
find her, so can the Volk. When he sees his bride-to-be, he is
hard pressed not to grab her out of the pool and claim her. But
it is not yet time; especially when the Volk show up and Luka
needs to protect her, a task which proves to be difficult.
Eryn Blackwell has made Luka and Zoya hot-blooded with emotions
that run high and feelings that cannot be contained. THE LURE

Successful
financial planner Helena is enjoying a kayaking trip meant to
release some stress. Well, she’s enjoying everything except the
company of her guide, Ocean. Oh, he’s a great guy, he’s just
way too handsome. Helena is much more comfortable around
average looking men, men who expect her to be the one in charge,
but when Ocean makes it clear he wants her, Helena decides to
take a chance. While the chemistry between the two of them is
amazing, things take a bad turn when Helena unknowingly invokes
ancient magic, binding Ocean to her will. Now Ocean has to
decide, should he kill her to break the spell she’s put over
him, or pleasure her until she frees him voluntarily? Can Helena
convince Ocean she’s innocent, or is this the last trip she’ll
ever take? The author’s descriptions of the ocean and kayaking
made me want to take a trip to Catalina Island myself, and if I
knew I’d get a guide like Ocean, I’d be booking it today! :-)

Texas - Present Day
Rafe Walker couldn't believe his
wife, Catherine, was walking out on him. Before all he had to do
was take her upstairs for some hot sex and she'd forget all
about it. This time, however, she's serious. She tells him to
figure out what it is he wants. Rafe lets her go knowing it's
probably for the best. Why would a city girl stay with a cowboy
who won't even put her name on the title to the ranch? Catherine
doesn't want to leave Rafe but she's tired of him shutting her
out. Evidently he doesn't love her anymore. Why else would he
continue to keep the ranch in his name alone? To her that is
proof enough that Rafe doesn't consider her a true Walker. Is
all lost or will these two get a second chance?
Dee S. Knight pens a romantic story
about two people who nearly lose what's most important...each
other. Steamy, emotional, and beautifully written SECOND WIND is
a perfect way to end the day.
