Dec Pub 42 Heels and Hero's by Tiffany Allee
Title: Heels & Hero's Author: Tiffany Allee Brenda Booth was a pharmacy manager by day
and by night she was the super hero silencer.
Brenda never thought her powers of turning her
hearing off were very useful. Justice was on the council of the super
hero league. He called all the super hero's of
Chicago together to announce the appearance
of a new super villain The Howler. The Howler
had powers to throw out a super sonic sound blast
when he screamed knocking anyone out. Everyone
except the Silencer.Justice and Brenda start on
the case. When The Howler kidnaps the major,
Brenda steps up to the plate to distract The Howler
and save the major. To Brenda's dismay The
Howler gets away but thankfully they were able
to save the major. Justice must work
together even harder now to bring The Howler
to justice before he strikes again.
This was a good read it was action packed
and the story line was good. The way Justice
helped Brenda realize her true worth was fantastic.
Brenda might have not been powerful but that did
not make her the super hero she was. Brenda's need
and want to help others and use what powers she had
for good made her the super hero she was. This was
a great book I give it 5 stars.

Dec Pub 41 Soul Dreams by Desiree Holt
Soul Dreams
This
book is about Nina Foster and Blake Massie, two people who have
troublesome pasts which has made them very wary of relationships. Tina
owns a book store and Blake orders online but likes personal delivery so
he can catch glimpses of Tina from an upstairs window. The story tells of how they find their own happy ever afters.
I had some trouble categorising this
book as it is slightly too sexy for a romance and not sexy enough for
erotica and has a tiny smidgen of the supernatural. The story is
interesting and well written although I did feel it was the sequel to
something and whilst you didn't need to have read what came before I do
like to read things in order (OCD what can I say lol) All in all it is
OK but contains several uses of an unfortunate word for female
genitalia, now whilst I am not a prude I really didn't feel this word
belonged and it kind of put me off the whole book.
Overall I would give this 3 out of 5 stars rising to 3.5 if you are more amenable to certain words than I am!!

Dec Pub 40 Review of Heart and Soul by Tess Black
title: Heart and Soul (book 1of the solaria trilogy) author: Tess Black
Greer Rivers a lawyer from a prestigious
law firm had always been a strong, no non sense
lawyer going places in her career. That is until
her unexpected break up with her fiance Brad Turner.
He had dumped her right before the wedding throwing
her through an emotional roller coaster. Greer felt
broken and it was taking its toll in her life and career.
Greer's friend and assistant Amy finally got her to
realize it was time to move on from her horrible
experience with brad. Greer agreed and decided the best
way to do that was to sell the engagement ring
Brad gave her. Not able to wait another moment Greer
set out in a horrible snow storm to sell the ring.
Greer had not gotten to far when she got into a horrible
car accident. As fate would have it Caelan Virian was
waiting for his brothers return at the veil within the
gate way dividing the earth realm and Solaria and had
seen Greer's horrible accident. Its seemed like his soul
was pulling him to save her realizing he could not save
her he pulled her essence out of her body
and returned to Solaria to heal her completely.
I loved the magic in this book and the love that grew
between Greer and Caelan gave me goosebumps and butterfly's.
I give this book 4 stars it was a good read and can not
wait to read more of Tess Black's work.

Dec Pub 39 Reviews Setting Boundries by Layla Chase
Setting Boundaries by Layla Chase Trixy Manville is a widow trying to save
her cattle ranch. And after a 2 year
drought she doesn't have a lot of options
but to make a deal with her neighbor,
Garth Rutgers, for water in exchange for
his choice of calves. But he wants another
trade, one night of hot, unforgettable sex
for 2 weeks of water access.
Garth has been angry at Trixy since high
school when she chose to be with Dave
(her now deceased husband) over him.
Now here is his chance for revenge. He
has what she needs and he is going to make
her pay with that body of hers.
But can he keep his buried feelings for
her under control???? Review: The Trixy and Garth relationship
is full of emotions from their past. They both
have regrets and hurt from that past. But they
both seem to have strong enough feelings towards
each other that this deal that they are making,
has positive feelings for both of them. The
only thing about this book that is remotely
negative is that I wanted more. More of a wrap
up of their relationship. This was a quick and
easy, sexy read.

Allison is a strong independent female that handles get put into a very difficult situation and handles it with grace.

Combat Barbie by Heather Long While home on leave, Mary runs into an old high school
friend, Kyle. He was always a nice guy and didn't seem to be after her just because she was a beauty queen.
Well, she was no beauty queen now. She is a Marine. And she loves it.
Kyle can't believe that she is back in town. Even for a
visit. He thought he might never see her after she left after high school. He has always had such a crush on her
but couldn't get up the nerve to ask her out. So he sees his chance to ask her to the high school reunion and
he isn't going to miss his opportunity this time. Review: This was a really good short story. And while
being short, it still had plenty of story and back story to draw you into the characters lives. This is part of the
"Always a Marine" series and I am looking forward to reading more of the series to follow these characters and the
other characters that we have met in this sexy, short romance. Theresa F 5 of 5 stars

Dec Pub 31 Review of Healing Hearts by Liz Crowe
Healing Hearts
This is a short book about Abby who works in a coffee shop and her mystery customer
Jay, whilst she thinks that he is hot it turns out that he has
a tragedy in his past that may be impossible to overcome.
This was a great read but I have to say
that Jay's past is really not for the faint of heart- it was one of
those moments in a book where I forget it is fiction and want to give
the character a big hug as well as feeling faintly queasy!! It is well
written with Jay's reactions to trying to get his life going again being
very moving and although there is a romance it seemed to take a back
seat to the story.
I would give this book 4 of of 5 stars

DEC PUB 29 Love Redeemed by Sorcha Mowbray
Love Redeemed
This
is a historical romance set in London concerning Brennan Whitling a
fabric merchant who has noticed certain lady out shopping on Bond Street
more than once and is keen to get to know her better. Serena Freemont
is a lady with secrets who finds resisting Brennan's advances difficult
....
I had a few issues with this book, one
was that we were never given the time period where it is set although I
guess the 1800's and another was there were a couple of historical words
used that I had to look up although all did become clear eventually if
you don't have a kindle with a "look up" facility! Also in some ways I
found the sex scenes to be to modern, and was very surprised that
Brennan did not question Serena's shall we say "enthusiasm". Howeverif
you are looking for a short sexy read then this does cover it.
I would give this 3 stars out of 5

Review of Predators Kiss By Rosanna Leo
Predator's Kiss
Gemini Island is a place where families come to have fun, relax, be one with nature and most importantly to be themselves. This is important because there are not too many places where shifters can have a safe haven. Ryland, owner of Gemini island and a bear shifter, takes pride in giving shifters a vacation spot where they can shift and do what comes natural. When he gets a message from his brother Soren, Ryland knows trouble is coming. When Soren arrives, Ryland finds out that trouble is in deed following his brother, because of his philandering ways. So in true shifter form, they shift and start to fight. Just as it is starting, they hear a woman running through the woods scared. When Lia runs through the woods and stumbles upon a grizzly and a polar bear in the woods she stops, screams and then faints. When Lia wakes, she is in a strange cabin, in a bed and 2 naked but covered, very hot males in her room....but she wonders where are the bears?? Ryland, has his hands full with the resort, danger from his brother, and Lia brings danger along with her both for herself and Ryland!
What a wonderful start to a series. Ryland is a outdoors man who has a prejudice against humans because of a past girlfriend, and has no idea what he is getting into. Lia, running from a crazed stalker, just happens to pick an island full of shifters. Soren, is just having fun messing with his brother. Mix these 3 up with shootings, stalkers, hit men, and some intense sexual tension...makes for a wonderful book. I laughed a few times in this light hearted, fun book. The tension between Lia and Ryland is intense and does not disappoint. The ending was action packed and fitting. Loved the book, Rosanna please send me the next ones.

Review of Forgiveness by Carrie Ann Ryan
Forgiveness
Adam Jamenson, a werewolf and the enforcer of the Redwood pack, has been through hell. Losing his mate to the enemy years ago, he had never fully forgave himself for not saving his wife and unborn child and now keeps his emotional distance from his family. Now after losing a leg, gaining a son and a new mate, he is having a hard time forgiving himself again for treating Bay the way he did. Bay, after years of running from her demon father, now has a son and a new family who love her. She knows Adam treated her badly when she first came to the Redwood pack, but she also knows that he was hurting and accepts that it was in the past and that Adam loves her and her son with all his heart. Bay is willing and has already forgiving Adam. Can Adam forgive himself?
The Redwood pack has been one of my faves for a long time. I love the Jamenson's, each and every one of them. Adam and Bay's story was so emotional. You heart can not help but break at their story. But in this novella, Bay has said the past is done and was horrible, I want to move forward with love and family. Adam wants too but he can't imagine why Bay would stay with him. He has to prove his love and prove he is a changed man. Carrie Ann did not disappoint in this short book. I loved revisiting the couple. I look forward to the next installment of the redwood series. Do not read this book unless you read the book before Enforcer's Redemption 1st. The whole series is very good and all the reviews are here on Julies Book Review.

Love On the Line 2
Silver Star
by
J M Madden
Brady
Frost & Lorna McNight meet on a six hour train ride to Florida.
Their connection was immediate & strong. When sexy co-ed Lorna
calls for a rendezvous two days later, Brady's more than ready to take
up where they left off. He arrives at their designated meeting place
just in time to keep her from being raped.
Lorna’s first mistake was misjudging the schmuck at the bar. If Brady hadn't arrived in time to rescue her, she may never have been heard from again. Her second mistake was underestimating her desire for the mature knight in bruised armor, and her ability to keep love and sex separate. When it’s time to board the Silver Star home, will she be able to leave her heart behind?

Review of Dance With Me By Billie Bierer
Dance With Me
by
Billie Bierer
Charlie
(Charlotte) Rossi's only inheritance from her estranged Uncle Mike is
Run for the Roses, a stallion her deceased uncle claims is magic. Though
what Charlie finds when she visits her horse is veterinarian Dr. Wade
Phillips and his mesmerizing blue eyes. Within weeks, Charlie
purchases a ranch in Cave Creek, Arizona, quits her advertising job,
sells the New York condo, and heads west in her little BMW convertible.
Roses-now heartier and some how younger looking-anxiously awaits her
arrival at Wade Phillips' veterinary stables. Meanwhile, Charlie's
cousin, Tony Lambini-aka the short dude from New York and the sorriest
Mafia member ever-plots to steal Roses. While tailing Cousin Charlie
cross country, Tony gains a hitchhiker, Chief Flying Eagle, who demands
Tony take him to his reservation in Phoenix. In New Mexico, Charlie
picks up Bluebird Smith, an eighteen-year-old Apache running away
heading to California with her Great Dane, Tiny. Charlie's plans sound
like adventure to Bluebird and she detours her life to Cave Creek and
takes up residence with Charlie in her quaint-but-somewhat-cramped
apartment above a barn. Once in Phoenix, Tony makes his move for
Charlie's magical horse, with the "help" of the chief's nephew, Mad
Coyote Joe. Charlie has more than Cousin Tony to worry about when she
falls under the "spell" of cowboy and woman-chaser, Jeff Olsen. Jeff's
spell includes dumping her friends and her responsibilities to Roses for
dance halls and two-stepping. Charlie's fun-filled nights carry a price
and her magical stallion begins to age once again. She is reminded that
if she fails to choose the right man, Roses will die. And Doctor Wade
Phillips decides he's had enough of Jeff Olsen.
This
is a really great read with characters that keep you wondering what
they're going to do. I wasn't crazy about Cousin Tony at first but he
grew on me & by the end...you'll have to read it to see. I loved
the ending..This is the first book I've read by this author but I wasn't
disappointed. Can't wait to read the next book.
I rate this book 4 stars

Dec Pub 24 Review of Dillions Gift by A.J. Hawthorn
Dillons Gift by A.J. Hawthorn Dillon wants the chance to get to know Lisa better.
A lot better. So when he sees an opportunity to make it happen, he takes his chance. He just has to
juggle a couple gift exchange items and get her to think that she owes him for embarrassing him in
front of the whole company. This could work. Lisa cant believe that she agreed to be Dillon's
ride home from the Christmas party when all she wanted to do was sneak out now. She hasn't celebrated Christmas
in years and isn't in the mood to start now.
But she would do anything for Dillon. Maybe he is the one.
The one person to finally be her honest and true love. Review: This was a really cute, easy read. Dillons
character is so very cute in the way that he just wants to see Lisa happy and to make her laugh. He is
so patient and kind. Lisa is such a typical woman that
she is so easily likable. We all tend to hang onto our past
hurts to help us guard against any future pain. The author
did a great job of making the characters alive that they
could be friends from down the road. I really enjoyed this
book and recommend you all give it a read :) Theresa F 5 of 5 stars
Dec Pub 23 Review of Island Bound by Kiru Taye
Island Bound by Kiru Taye Joshua knows that he should never have let his
wife walk out on their marriage three months ago after she said that they needed a break. He didn't understand
why she was doing it then and he sure doesn't understand the divorce papers that he just received. But he isn't
going to let her get out that easy. Christy just wants this over with fast. So when Joshua
agrees to sign the divorce papers if she goes away with him for 2 weeks for the Christmas holiday she reluctantly
accepts his offer. But he seems to be doing all the right things to make her remember how great they have been
together. Can she really last 2 weeks with him with- out her heart softening toward him?? Review: This was a short, easy, sexy read. I love that
Joshua doesn't really understand the reasons that Christy has for wanting out of their marriage but is willing to go
all out to save it. It has sexy scenes and is a reminder to us all that love can win, as long as we are willing to
give it a chance. Theresa F 5 of 5 stars
Dec Pub 22 Review of To Feel Again by Valerie Mann
To Feel Again (1 Night Stand story) by Valerie Mann Leah lost her fiance a year ago and she wants
to be able to move on past the pain. So she uses Madame Evangeline's services to help her. A one
night stand will help her let go of the past. Jackson can't believe that he let Evangeline
talk him into this crazy idea. He would meet this woman and talk with her but he was not having a
one night stand just to help her. Review: Such a great short story. These two characters
are cute together. But they are also a very sexy
combination. The author burns up the pages with
this sexy, easy read. I recommend this book and the
others in the 1 Night Stand series of short sexy stories. Theresa F 5 of 5 stars

Review of Often Overlooked by Cary Polkovitz
Review of Often Overlooked, Cary Polkovitz
By Akisha Clark
3 1/2 stars
Take some time to meet Cary Polkovitz
and read “Often Overlooked”. I found this book to be a refreshing break
from the way-too-serious and over-the-top drama. This
book was filled to the brim with delightful little stories, painting
pictures of what could be. It was nice to step back into the world of
simple and unique. There is no other book like this, I’m sure. I have
visions of this book sitting on your coffee table,
provoking fun conversations with guest for time and time to come. Not
to mention this book is full of vivid pictures that not only sweeps you
into the beauty of the forgotten object but allows your mind to wander
and create your own tales. My personal favorite
was the story of the Merry-Go-Round. While on the merry-go-round as a
child I remember feeling free and timeless. This excerpt captures the
essence of those priceless moments. Be sure to pick up this book so that
you too can experience the beauty of what is
“often overlooked” too.
Review of Borderland Bride by Samantha Holt
Borderland Bride
by Samantha Holt
While out riding on his brothers land, Jake comes across the beautiful Isabel beaten and near death. He brings her
to his brothers home to heal and finds himself completely taken with her. He longs to spend time with her and learn
more about her. She makes her way into his heart and gives him hope of loving again.
Lady Isabel is running away from the dangers in her life when she discovers just how dangerous the Borderlands
can be. She is bruised and beaten with no voice and she can't hear above the buzzing pain in her ears. But when a
handsome lord rescues her and takes her to his brothers land to heal she is suddenly feeling a bit better about her
situation and refuses to be a victim ever again. She will keep her secrets and hope that the people hunting her will
not find her here with her knight in shining armor. But, will her secrets destroy what they have built?
Review: I enjoyed the heck out of this book. It had me involved in the characters lives from the beginning. I really
enjoyed the journey the main characters have. The author gave us interesting, strong characters. This is such a sweet
love story that has just enough drama to keep you from wanting to put the book down. It was a great read and I
recommend it to everyone.

DEC PUB 21 Heart and Soul by Tess Black
Heart and Soul
This
book is about Greer Ives,an attorney who's career may be stalling
thanks to a scumbag ex-fiancee, Greer makes an unwise trip to a nearby
town and is involved in a severe car accident, Caelon Virilion witnesses the crash and finds that he is compelled to help even if he really shouldn't!
I really loved this book,
the characters were well fleshed out and there were plenty of moments of
humour. The transition from our world to the paranormal was done
really well and the new world once more was well described. Accordingly
to the cover this book is part of a trilogy - I do hope the other 2 are
about Caelon's brothers who only appear briefly but are very funny.
I would rate this book at 4.5 stars out of 5 and it only doesn't get 5/5 as I enjoyed it so much I wanted it to be longer!!

Dec Pub 20 Review of Birthday Bash by Kelli Scott
Title: Birthday Bash Author: Kelli Scott Julie was At home bummed because she was
some how on the no fly list and could not
meet her friends in Vegas for her birthday
bash. Julie's friend Dara decided Julie should
not miss the fun so she sent two male strippers
dressed as cops to Julie's house. At first Julie
was really resistant but wasn't Dara always telling
her to loosen up a little.
Jared and Damien were instructed too give Julie
a good time. This was Jared's last night on the job
and he couldn't believe he met Julie and felt more
than just an attraction to her.
This book was so very steamy. I can't believe what
happened between Julie, Jared, and Damien but it was a
good read. I give this book 4 stars.

Dec Pub 19 Review of Review Request - Elixxir by Deena Remiel
Elixxir
4.5 out of 5 stars. Great adult content with lots of mystery and action.
Callie hasn't had a glamorous life. She can't even make it through more than three dates with most guys. It may have something to do with living in a sort of witness protection hiding from the people that killed her parents as she hid in the next room twenty years prior. Not only does she have trust issues but she has intimacy issues on top of it. So sarcasm is her weapon of choice when dealing with the world. Unfortunately, after a rough few days on the anniversary of losing her parents, Callie decided to take a little trip down memory lane and even though it seems harmless at the time, it's going to alter her life forever.
Brethren Warrior Nathanael doesn't hide from trouble, he finds it. He didn't plan on finding it in such an enticing package named Callie. Yes, it's a rough start when you are coming to deliver an apology for a buddy walking away without so much as a good bye, but Callie isn't even interested in hearing about it. From the moment Nathan knocks on her door they have to run for her life. For some guys, it's all in the timing. He never thought that telling her that he's supposed to get the Elixxir from her and return it to where it belongs would be one of the easiest thing he would tell her.
This was a great book. It's really all about good verses evil and the two main characters learning to trust each other. They both obviously have secrets they are keeping from each other in the beginning and they have to learn to trust each other and even themselves enough to share these secrets. OF course, it totally helps that they are kicking but and taking no prisoners as they go along. It's not a cut and dry mission and no, they don't just beat the bad guy to the Elixxir, that would be too easy.

Review of Pine Needles by Karli Rush
Pine Needles (The Veil Realm Series, #1).
by Karli RushRayden and Selene are thrust into a World none had ever expected. Their tiny part of the planet is changed forever starting with ravaging earthquakes, arrows flying through the air hitting and killing many. Selene and Rayden must fight to survive this new world or die trying. Selene is captured after a long exhausting run just as she is about to jump to her death she is grabbed by one of them. He now will make her his or she will be dinner. She must choice Life or Death and she must life with the choice she makes as devastating as it will be.
Wow! Talk about an emotional roller-coaster , all over the place emotions. So intense, I was holding my breathe and had to unwilling put the book down to walk around and breathe quite a few times, also to get my emotions in check. Only A Masterful Writer can elicit these emotions from ones readers.
Not a techno Sci/Fi yet so much more. My favorite quote in this book " Your Breast are not sweet"!
This Book 1 of the Veil Realm Series is a Major Hit. If you have not read Karli Rush's Books yet I urge you to start with this one. You will not be disappointed. This book is unlike her others as not so much on the romance as it is about, What would you do to stay alive? Even after reading I am going over my favorite part(s) as I could not just choice one. This book stays with the reader long after reading.
I Highly Recommend This Book!
Wishing I could give more than 5 STARS

holidays and with the big blizzard coming in, she
was glad for the time alone. Well that is until
Ethan Garrett came to the saloon. Garrett was troubled and
he needed someone to talk to. A reluctant Pearl agreed
to listen to his problems. In doing so Garrett ended up
stuck at the saloon because of the blizzard. This book was amazing it took me out west in the
1800's and I couldn't put it down. Pearl and Garrett finally
after four years realizing they needed each other was so sweet
and the love scene were hot!!!!! I give this book five stars.

Dec Pub 17 Review of Accidental Romance by Jessica E Subject
Accidental Romance
Challenge Series
by
Jessica E Subject
At
twenty-two, Leanne Declan has graduated from college and hopes to take
over the family farm until a tragic accident changes her life forever.
Unable to do the simplest everyday chores, she must depend on her family
and friends as she learns to face life’s challenges. But when her fears
threaten to destroy her future, can an unexpected love be strong enough
to help her dreams come true?
This
is a quick romance read with a plot that keeps you turning the pages
til the very end. The characters are so easy to like you end up sharing
their feelings..you might even shed a few tears.. What the characters
go thru is so real..it's heartbreaking. This is the first book I've
read by this author, and I would definitely try more.
I rate this book 4 stars

DEC PUB 16 Falling for Water by Arlene Webb
Falling Water
This book revolves around Cassi Smith who appears to have acquired a
hot stalker in the form of Ray Harris, Cassi is already in a
relationship if not a good one but Ray is being unusually persistent in
his pursuit. When Ray's reasoning becomes clear they find themselves
stuck together in an out of town motel which is when Cassi finds herself
confessing her own brand of OCD. Things get worse from there until
Cassi has to confront the worst of her fears if she wants to save Ray!
This is a great short story, the plot
was really intriguing and well paced and got the balance between romance
and the who dunnit it just about right. I did have to laugh at Ray's
silly stories although Cassi's attempt really had me giggling as it is
totally what I would end up doing. For any people, like me, who don't
know what a "prepper" is, its someone who is prepared to be
self sufficient in the event of a major catastrophe however this has
very little bearing on the story so don't let it put you off!
I would give this 4.5 of of 5 stars

Review of Captive Hero by Donna Michaels
Captive Hero (Time-Shift Heroes Series)
by Donna Michaels
Captain Samantha Sheppard, Marine Corp pilot, was on a test flight when something strange happened. She and her co-pilot, best friend, Maria are suddenly taken back in time. Caught in the middle of an air fight they inadvertently save the life of a WWII Black Sheep pilot. A pilot that Sam has heard many stories about from her grandfather who fought side by side
with him. To keep from affecting the future, she abducts the pilot and hides him in her secluded cabin in the Colorado wilderness. But her captive believes that she is a German spy and refuses to believe that he is now in a different century. But as they grow closer and the desire between them ignites they
discover that their connection is soul deep. But her flying Ace makes a historical discovery that could change her life along with her families very existence. The only way to fix the time line is to go back in time and sacrifice her hero.
Review: This was a really good book that I enjoyed from beginning to end. Some time shift books are confusing going back and forth between the times but this was well written and was easy to follow. Even with the rough start that these two have, their
story is so romantic and sweet Theirs is a love strong enough to
transcend the past, present and the future. Great read.

A dry spell that she is ready to get out of and contacts one night stand for a date to end the dry spell. At the hotel she dives into the spa and racing that the hotel offers. Waiting for her date and racing cars, she meets a man, Declan. He is there to meet a date too. The attraction is there between them and they both almost cancel there dates to explore it.. So when they find out they are each others dates...the sparks fly. Declan has a problem and Laura may be one of the only ones to help and maybe understand how to help.
This is a romance, with a paranormal twist. 2 people, both with issues, and a huge attraction between them.. Declan has a issue that only Laura may be able to help with. They explore each other with some pretty hot sex and may even help one other in the process. Maybe lust, maybe love but maybe, the start of something new for the both of them. Good short story, worth the read!

Dec Pub 14 review of The Virgin And The Best Man by Kate Richards
The Virgin And The Best Man by Kate Richards Ray is on his way to Vegas to be the best
man for his brothers wedding. And Karin is
to be her cousins maid of honor. And for
attending to their special day, the bride and
groom have given these two the special gift of
Madame Evangeline's services. A date for each of
them set up by Evangeline herself. But as the night goes on, it becomes apparent that they just might
like to spend their time together instead of with
some strangers that they might not feel any
attraction to. Review: I have read some of the other stories
in the 1 Night Stand series and have very much
enjoyed them. And I wasn't disappointed in this
story either. The story of Ray and Karin is funny,
romantic and sexy. This is a short story so there
isn't a lot I can say accept that it really is a great
one. I am sure that everyone would enjoy this book.
SO, enjoy :) Theresa F 5 of 5 stars
DEC PUB 13 The Princess and the Prepper by Barbara Elsborg
The Princess and the Prepper
Poor Lili, she has fled one man and found herself in a worse situation, one that could only get worse if she ended up walking down a snowing road wearing only her underwear - things got worse! Luckily for her Grant and Shadow are nearby to rescue her. Grant is living isolated in a cabin trying to escape memories of his past and is not sure he wants to deal with Lili's intrusion into his life.

Luckily for her Grant and Shadow are nearby to rescue her. Grant is living isolated in a cabin trying to escape memories of his past and is not sure he wants to deal with Lili's intrusion into his life.
This was highly entertaining as you
find out the stories behind Lili and Grant both have rough pasts for
completely different reasons, Lili has a family she would like to ignore
and Grant has a family that he is ignoring and yet they find common
ground and involve them selves in some nicely steamy sex!! It makes you
want to be in a log cabin with a roaring log fire whilst it snows
outside .....
For any people,
like me, who don't know what a "prepper" is, its someone who is prepared
to be self sufficient in the event of a major catastrophe however this
has very little bearing on the story so don't let it put you off!
I would give this 4 out of 5 stars
