Romance Erotica Sensual

FRIENDLY FIRE by Jill Shalvis: Lexi McGowen is watching her friend's apartment while he is on duty with the military. This stretch is different than any other time because he has been out of touch for eight months instead of mere weeks. Cord Madden comes home from being injured during his tour to find his neighbor and friend using his shower, which tests his patience and will power to keep his distance. All Cord wants to do is be alone, but Lexi refuses to allow him to wallow in pity and works to help him heal.

PACKING HEAT by Karen Foley: Matt Talbot is ready to get out of the Marines and become just a regular guy, away from death and his job as a highly trained sniper. He is extremely excited to meet the teacher who adopted him while serving in the military; their phone calls and letters give him hope for the future. With only four days left before heading home, he is injured during battle gaining him notoriety and medals for his journey home. Being idle is not for him and Matt makes plans that may destroy a relationship with his teacher before it even begins.

THE PRODIGAL by Rhonda Nelson: Major Chase Harrison finally returns home after his father's death, ready to sell everything and move on. He comes across a small snag in his plans as his father's assistant becomes an intricate part in his well laid out strategy to sell and run. Rorie Whitaker, the assistant, not only had a completely different relationship with Chase's father than he did, she affects Chase's hormones like no other woman he has come in contact with. As Chase and Rorie sort out property, their attraction for one another takes off, complicating all plans.

All three of these stories have the perfect ingredients for a sexy romance; well-trained, hot military guys and the women who love them. I thoroughly enjoyed each one.

The Prodigal by Rhonda Nelson
When Rorie Beddingfield meets up with her first love, Chase Harrison, she realizes there’s no better time to find out what she’s been missing. And wow—she’s been missing a lot! Still, she’s thoroughly enjoying making up for lost time. But can she tame the battered heart of this wounded warrior…without losing hers?

Packing Heat by Karen Foley
Megan O’Connell’s letters were the only thing that kept U.S. Marine sniper Matt Talbot sane while he was overseas. And now that he’s home, he intends to get to know Megan much better. Too bad a lot of other people have the same idea. Only it’s him they can’t seem to get enough of…
