Jack Hunter is one of the three owners of DreamMakers, a
business he and his former Army buddies started up for
event planning and to help clueless guys plan the perfect
date. Jack is a player, but after seeing his best friend
Parker fall in love with a great woman, he has begun to
wonder if there is something more to life. When Parker's
sister Pepper comes home after college, Jack is intrigued;
even if he knows his best friend will kill him for going
after his little sister. When the fireworks begin between
him and Pepper, Jack quickly finds out that LOVE IS A
BATTLEFIELD in more ways than one.
Pepper Wilson has shown up in San Francisco with some
mysterious bruising. She's hiding out at the DreamMakers
office, where Jack discovers her late one night. He takes
her home with him, and she stays with him until her bruises
heal. Jack has always treated her like an annoying little
sister, and the couple bicker incessantly. Now that Pepper
is all grown up, however, there is a sexual tension between
them that neither can deny. Jack makes the decision to go
after Pepper, and try a solid relationship rather than the
string of one night stands that has been his life up until
now. When Jack discovers that Pepper wants to get into kinky
stuff and has some unrealized fantasies, he takes it upon
himself to make sure that all her sexual fantasies come
true. Unfortunately for the couple, there are a few people
who want to cause them trouble and put an end to their
budding romance.
LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD is a fun, breezy, and often hilarious
romp. The major players from the first book, All
Fired Up, are back, and interactions between the friends
are one of the major factors for the fun to be had. Suz and
Lynne add Pepper into their fold, and the gal pals have
some humorous interactions and conversations about the
guys and men in general. Suz and the third member of
DreamMakers, Dean, have found themselves to be great
friends, and their dealings with each other are a riot to
read. Suz is the female counterpart of Dean, and is every
bit the player he is. When they compare notes of sexual
conquest, the results are comical and extremely
entertaining. One of the funniest scenes in LOVE IS A
BATTLEFIELD is the dinner scene between Jack and Dean as
they plan a surprise for Pepper. Their covert conversation
certainly raises the eyebrows of their waitress and the
reader alike.
LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD is the second book of the
DreamMakers trilogy, co-written by authors Vivian
Arend and Elle Kennedy. These books are enjoyable reads,
sexy as all get out, and quite amusing. Although LOVE IS A
BATTLEFIELD has interactions between characters met in the
first book, All Fired Up, the story is self-contained and
can be read standalone. However, it is these interactions
between the friends that make the series such a joy to
read. LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD is a highly recommended read
for fans of either author, or those who like their HEA's
with a little sexual spice on the road to getting there.
He’s ready to admit she’s all grown up…
After two tours of duty, former Army Ranger Jack Hunter is
back in the US, working to keep DreamMakers a brilliant
success. Now that his best friend’s little sister is home
from college, it’s time to retire his hands-off policy and
take action. He wants Pepper Wilson in his bed, but seducing
the feisty redhead could be dangerous for more than one reason.
She’s ready to push all his buttons…
Pepper is tired of being bossed around by everyone in her
life, especially arrogant, annoying, overbearing Jack
Hunter. While she can’t deny the man is out-of-this-world
gorgeous, his alpha routine is getting old. His steely
determination proves a match for her own, though, and the
attraction simmering between them ignites into fiery passion.
But can their wild sexual exploration turn into more without
someone getting burned?
