Romance Anthology
Three Books in One Special Release. Enticed by Stephanie Bond Attorney Kimber Karlton's life was stressful, but the good
side was her long-time boyfriend, who was going to propose
to her on their vacation. After Kimber misses her plane
she's stuck taking a series of flights to met up with Finn
Meyers, who would then transport her to her own romantic
getaway with her boyfriend. Being with Finn Kimber
realizes what her life is really like and what she wants
her life to be like. After experiencing a night of passion
with Finn, Kimber is still determined to make her vacation
and snag her proposal. But once on the island whom will
she choose? The story had a great plot and cast of characters. For a
short read it's hard to capture the magic between the
characters, but Ms. Bond did an exceptional job with Finn
and Kimber. The only thing I was appalled by was the fact
that Kimber was in a relationship yet she had sex with
another man, in my mind that's cheating. But as you read
you realize that Kimber wasn't attached to her boyfriend
and she really didn't love him, he was another attorney who
understood her lifestyle. With that respect it's a matter
of personal opinion and taste. But believe me it doesn't
take away from the story. Propositioned by Leslie Kelly Liz Talbot left her life, her cheating husband, and her
career behind to move to St. Lucia where she tends bar.
Jack Beaumont shows up in St. Lucia, the two knew each
other, ran in the same circles, and Liz's heart still raced
at the sight of him. But she was determined not to get
involved with a businessman who would want her to leave her
beautiful island. And really she wasn't ready to get in a
relationship with anyone. Jack is throwing a party and
asks Liz to accompany him, Liz believes Jack wants her to
be the waiter of the party. To her surprise Jack wants her
to be on his arm for the evening. Out of all three books this one was my favorite. I loved
the characters and how Ms. Kelly portrayed their strengths
and weaknesses. They belong together and are easy to see
that as you read Liz and Jack's story. The scenery is
beautiful and very vivid through the reader's eyes. It's a
story that will keep you reading for more and sad when it
does end. Fevered by Lori Wilde Macy Gatwick is an investigative journalist who will push
the limits to get the story. Her current mission: she
wants Armando Cutler—just for a story. She is certain he
is behind what will be a juicy expose about the corporate
wunderkind's exile o Costa Rica. But she never thought she
would lose her heart to him. This was a great story! Lori Wilde is one of my all-time
favorite authors. I have been a fan since I snuck and read
my mom's copy of A Touch of Silk. She knows how to write
steamy scenes, characters that make you pant for more and a
compelling plot with all the right twists and turns. With
Ms. Wilde you never know what to expect next. She's an
author you must have included on your "Author's to Watch"
list. SAND, SUN...SEDUCTION! is a book you must add to your
"009 Summer
Reading" list.
