This instalment in the Day of Pleasure series shows Molly Ryan busily managing a pub, the Drunken Duck. With two staff off on honeymoon, she's pleased by the offer of help from Callum Eversman, a friend of the new groom. Noah left military service to get married but Callum, likewise serving, isn't looking to settle down yet... though the pub seems like a good place, if he was looking.
TWO IN THE AFTERNOON goes on to explain that in the past Molly beat up a man who assaulted her after a shift. He got jailed, but now Molly has to watch her back in case the loser's connections come to take revenge. Callum, along with Noah's brother Chris, decide quietly to keep their eyes open. Cal enhances Molly's self-defence techniques with some daily coaching, but more than that, he wants to get close to her in a way that he wasn't expecting. Pity his best pal's sister is off-limits!
This is a suspenseful, action-filled erotic romance, with all sides complimenting the whole, making a great story about believable people. I was just sorry that TWO IN THE AFTERNOON is only a novella because I would have read plenty more!
When it comes to hand-to-heart combat, no hold is barred.
A Day of Pleasure, Book 2
Molly Ryan survived one attack, and sheβs not about to be
a sitting duck for another. With her attacker harassing
her from his jail cell, she packs up her life in Chicago,
follows her Delta Force brother to North Carolina and gets
work in a pub.
Men in uniform are definitely off her menu, but her bossβs
friend, Army Ranger Callum Eversman, is one hot hunk sheβd
like to sample.
Home on a two-week furlough, Cal has agreed to watch over
Molly as a favor to fellow Ranger Noah Harper.
Accomplishing his mission without her noticing? Thatβs
going to be tough, as any idiot can see their sparks of
attraction from a mile away.
Despite her hands-off-military-men policy, Molly is
tempted to indulge, just this once, in a no-strings-
attached fling. No dating, no kissy face, no hearts
involved. But when her past threatens her future, thereβs
only one man to turn to. The one whoβll risk everythingβ
body, heart, and soulβto protect her.
Warning: Contains an Army Ranger with a gruff exterior and
heart of gold, a heroine with a sassy attitude, and some
hot borderline-public sex.
