A KISS IN THE DARK

Romance Suspense

Lacey Delaney is a design engineer who has created a special GPS unit for NASA that works deep underground. The GPS could transmit through hundreds of feet of rock and can be used for search and rescue operations in mines or caves. Lacey has scored a huge coup in being picked to field test the unit and has traveled to Kentucky to test in the coal mines.

Cole MacKinnon is a mining safety engineer, working undercover for the Department of Labor. He has come back home to Kentucky to investigate a series of accidents in the coal mines in Black Stone Gap. Cole left several years ago after his best friend was killed during a cave-in and he wasn't able to save him.

Cole comes to Lacey's rescue when she is stranded late at night; he gives her a tow and offers her a safe place to stay. Lacey decides to throw caution to the wind and act solely on her desires while she is in Kentucky -- something completely outside the norm for her. She and Cole have an incredible passion that instantly ignites and leads to stronger feelings neither was expecting.

A KISS IN THE DARK is a fun, exciting, erotic romp that I couldn't put down. Karen Foley created delightful characters with Cole and Lacey and I was almost sad to see the book come to an end. The descriptions of the Kentucky countryside were breathtaking. A wonderful book!

FLYBOY is a bonus book included in this e-book and features Sedona Stewart as an aerospace engineer for the Defense Department. Sedona is disillusioned after being passed over yet again for a promotion and she uncovers a dirty little secret within her department. There is a club you need to join to get a promotion -- you have to have a fling while you are traveling for business and take pictures to prove it in order to get a promotion.

Sedona immediately takes this information to Human Resources and is told she doesn't have enough information for them to take any action. She is outraged and puts in her two-week's notice. Before Sedona can leave, there is an emergency with F/A-44 Coyote jets. She is sent to Lemoore Naval Air Station to investigate the issue with the jets to determine what is causing the jets to crash.

Lt. Commander Angel Torres is a Navy pilot who is currently doing test flights for the Defense Department. He is sent to Lemoore Naval Air Station to help with the investigation.

Angel and Sedona have been flirting with each other for years, but it's never gone beyond simple flirtation. Now that they are on a trip together, will they be able to resist temptation? Will Sedona be able to bring down the boy's club within the Defense Department?

FLY BOY was a fun, romantic romp that didn't disappoint. It had a lot of sizzle and heat as well as great character development. Lt. Torres is a wonderful bad boy through and through, someone you just can't resist. Ms. Foley definitely came through again with FLY BOY, it was a wonderful bonus book!

SUMMARY

Anything can happen in the dark… Scientist Lacey Delaney has a hard rule: no dating men in the mining industry. And anyway, she'd rather focus on her workβ€”designing a sophisticated piece of equipment for locating trapped miners. But when she finds herself stranded on the side of a Kentucky road and rescued by a drop-dead- gorgeous guy…well, who's to say her business trip can't have a little pleasure? Then Lacey learns that Cole MacKinnon is a mining engineer. His job is hazardousβ€”and so is getting involved with him beyond a few nights of wickedly hot fun. What Lacey doesn't know is that Cole is actually an undercover federal agent, a job that carries even more risk. And the deeper they go, the more dangerous it will get….
