Honk If You Love Real Men Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book for Lora Leigh (a fave erotic romance author) and Susan Donovan (a fave contemporary romance author) and neither of then let me down. I enjoyed both of their stories. I had never read anything from Carrie Alexander but I enjoyed her story as well. I must say that I was a bit surprised at Ms Britton's story and found myself not enjoying it at all.
First up is Ms Alexander's story of Estrella and Jesse. Estrella has been lusting after a guy working on a road crew in the neighborhood where she works. She's a maid for a wealthy female executive and when her boss goes out of town on business, she borrows her car, her clothes and her apartment in order to lure the hot road crew guy into her bed. Jesse sees through her "car trouble" ploy immediately but decides to see where this whole farce will go. If she's a rich lady looking to play, why not play along? Well, what he finds is a woman full of contradictions and obviously, as he discovers, not what she seemed. I liked this story. Sure, the plot is contrived but what I really liked were Estrella and Jesse. It's rare to find blue collar leads in romances and here we have a Latina and an ex-con who are both trying hard to build better lives for themselves after past mistakes. I found it refreshing, enjoyable and, of course, steamy!
To be honest, I more skimmed than read Ms Britton's story of a woman who had been raped by her fiance who is looking to get her sexual footing back. She returns to her home town and to the guy whose heart she broke in high school. He's the only guy she trusts to help her recover her sexual self. Of course he is all too willing to comply. Yuck. I thought she was incredibly selfish and he put up with way too much. And I feel I must warn readers of her other books who may not expect it, she does push the envelope with a rather torrid girl-on-girl scene. Not for me.
Susan Donovan is one of my fave authors of contemporary romance and this is another of her fun, amusing and sexy stories. Win is a screenwriter who has hit a slump but still has a deadline to meet. Her agent sends her off to his cabin in the woods to get her inspiration back. Fully knowing that some of the appliances may not be in working order and that her neighbor Mac, a capable and hunky Navy SEAL on leave, is nearby to fix anything that goes wrong. Anything. Will he agree to be her muse? Sexy fun!
In Lora Leigh's story Raven has had it bad for Reno for years. They both know it just as she knows he's been crazy about her as well. He never acted on his feelings because she was too young at the time. He joined the Navy, traveled the world, waiting for her to mature. Now he's back, home on leave, and the waiting is over. He and Raven will finally act on the mutual attraction that sizzles between them. But when feelings intensify can Raven get over her fears about his being a SEAL? She saw what it did to her parent's marriage, can she deal any better than her mother? Intense, hot and emotional. Classic Lora Leigh.

Rescue Me Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Three talented authors come together to deliver a trio of action-packed romantic adventures that will leave you dreaming of your own hero! Indeed, I would be more than happy to have any of the heroes in this anthology RESCUE ME!
Individually, each story in RESCUE ME earns a top rating of five. Together, they will more than knock your socks off!
~TROPICAL HEAT by Cherry Adair~
When the woman he loves is kidnapped by a ruthless terrorist, Sam Pelton will do whatever it takes to save Elizabeth. Braving the jungles of Africa and a cadre of villains that would make most men quake in their boots, Sam puts all of his skills as a special ops agent to use in order to rescue her.
Why, oh why have I not read Cherry Adair's work sooner? TROPICAL HEAT was my first taste of this author's talent and left me wanting more!
When we meet Sam and Elizabeth, they are thick in the middle of danger, after dancing around each other romantically for the last year. Well, to be perfectly honest, Elizabeth didn't think she was even on Sam's radar, although he was all she thought about since her divorce.
As it turns out, Sam was just biding his time, but he certainly had plans for the beautiful doctor. Plans that are moved up when he very nearly loses her in a way all too permanent. Sam pulls out all the stops, and shows himself to both Elizabeth and readers as the hero he truly is, leaving us to fall desperately in love with this man, just as Elizabeth does.
~ATLANTA HEAT by Lora Leigh~
Macey March is the most irreverent, troublesome member of his team of Navy SEALs. His antics have earned him a few demotions in rank along the way, and the ire of the Admiral himself. Emerson Delaney, the Admiral's delicious little goddaughter has played no small part in those troubles. It seems Macey just can't stay away from the imp, no matter how bad a career move it is to put the moves on her.
When Emerson is kidnapped by terrorists intent on wreaking revenge on the Admiral through his beloved goddaughter, Macey will stop at nothing to rescue her from danger. That's the easy part. The hard part comes afterwards - keeping her safe until they ferret out the mole whose very existence continues to threaten the woman that Mace comes to realize he can't live without.
As a major fan of Lora Leigh's, I chose to read RESCUE ME strictly because of her story in it, and once again, she didn't disappoint. ATLANTA HEAT is part of her popular TEMPTING SEALS series, and tells the story of that bad boy we've come to know and love in the previous books - Mason March.
Macey may come across as a bad boy, but in this novella we find that deep down, he is a family man at heart, and he only has eyes for Emerson Delaney, no matter how much trouble he has landed himself in through his previous interactions with her. That should tell him something right there, right? Macey isn't into denial, and he knows that Emerson is the woman for him. Of course, he has also gathered quite a bit of intel on the object of his considerable affections, and knows it will take a lot to win her trust and her heart.
Holing up with her in his safe-house provides the perfect opportunity for an all-out romantic assault, Macey-style. Emerson never stands a chance!
This heroine isn't at all shy and submissive, though, and she gives to Macey as good as she gets. He calls her an imp, and it is a description she has earned. She can't resist playing the smart-aleck, especially when under extreme duress. That wise-cracking attitude, however, covers a vulnerable core that believes she will always be alone. It's a good thing Macey knows just how to break through that core...
After waiting a long time for Macey's story, he surpassed my ideals. ATLANTA HEAT is a sensual treat that will raise your temperature and keep you coming back for more!

Wild Card ~DESERT HEAT by Cindy Gerard~
Seth King and Elena Martinez should be on the same side. After all he is a police detective and she is an assistant D.A. True, their goals may be aligned, but they have very different ideas of how to best serve justice.
When this unlikely pair is teamed together on a scavenger hunt for charity, they are isolated together in the wilderness of the Grand Canyon - or so they think. Someone is watching them, and that someone will seize their chance for vengeance very soon. But before that happens, they find that sometimes oil and water really do mix well as they discover a deep-seated attraction for each other...
Cindy Gerard is another new author for me, and I enjoyed her story as much as I did the first two in the RESCUE ME anthology.
Unexpected romance in the great outdoors is the theme for DESERT HEAT, and I have to say that a hero like Seth King makes me wish I were more outdoorsy myself! I'd love to share a sleeping bag built for two with this sexy alpha male. Heck, I'd like to share a sleeping bag built for one with him! *grin* Seth's determination to see to Elena's safety when violence threatens is the stuff heroes are made of, and his willingness to sacrifice himself for her will melt even the hardest of hearts.
Of course, it certainly has that effect on Elena herself, who had already begun to respond to Seth's magnetism before the enemy struck, but once she sees who this man is deep down, she is hopelessly smitten. This intrepid heroine pulls her own weight in their rescue, however, and it is no stretch of the imagination to understand why a man like Seth would fall for her.

Real Men Do It Better Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)HIS BODY ELECTRIC by Carrie Alexander
Karen's moved from the city to a farmhouse in Iowa. She's an artist who makes sculptures out of metal. To make ends meet she works from home as a virtual service representative selling various products for companies over the phone.
Gabe is staying at a friend's cabin a few miles from Karen's place. He's taking time to assimilate recent events that have left him a little rattled and makes living a normal life difficult for him.
After getting all the farm animals tucked safely into the barn for the night, Karen makes a mad dash through a violent lightning storm to reach her house but collides with a man before she reaches safety. The last thing Gabe expected when he went seeking shelter from the storm is for Karen to use her sexy voice to seduce him. There's just no way she can pass up the opportunity to be with a man who positively makes her body tingle.
Carrie Alexander will delight readers with this sizzling novella. The characters and plot are exciting and fresh with thrilling interactions that will keep readers enthralled in the storyline.BED AND BREAKFAST by Susan Donovan
A series of unfortunate occurrences have city girl/corporate dynamo Kate Dreyfuss stressed out to the breaking point. Her boss has ordered that Kate take a vacation to Windwalker Lodge, a spiritual retreat, where Kate will supposedly have some life-altering change by communing with nature.
Jorey Matheny is the proud owner of the Windwalker Lodge. He's easygoing and practices the natural lifestyle for which his lodge is well-known. Jorey's own past history makes it easy for him to understand Kate but getting her to stay long enough to be helped may be another story.
The pilgrimage that Kate had been signed up for was last month, she missed it. Now the lodge is under complete renovation. Only one room is furnished - the one where Jorey's been sleeping. He gives her his room and sleeps elsewhere but that doesn't stem her anger and resentment at the whole situation. It'll take an act of mother nature for Kate to accept Jorey's help - and everything else he has to offer.
I love the spiritual feel that Susan Donovan incorporates throughout this novella. Kate and Jorey are polar opposites and their interactions are fascinating and fraught with tension. FOR MAGGIE'S SAKE by Lora Leigh
Maggie Samuels is in a world of trouble! Her husband whom everyone believes adored her is killed. He left behind evidence implicating her as knowing all about his illegal dealings with the Fuentes famly that resulted in the death of some Navy SEALs.
Joe Merino has been in love with Maggie for years. Certainly long before she met and married Grant. He desperately wants to believe in her innocence even though the mounting evidence says otherwise.
Despite Maggie's insistence that she doesn't know anything about Grant's illegal doings there is a price on her head. There is evidence that would seal the government's case against the Fuentes family that she's believed to be able to locate. Joe opts to take Maggie to a safe house where he'll either get the information from her himself or he'll confirm her innocence. What he isn't prepared for is the real truth that she reveals about her marriage or the passion that explodes between them.
Lora Leigh books have become a staple in my reading diet. She expertly combines suspense, really hot sex, and kick butt dialog that leave readers gasping in wonder and devouring the pages. This is the third story in Ms. Leigh's TEMPTING SEALS series. Absolutely delectable.SIREN'S CALL by Lori Wilde
Annie's returned to St. Augustine to run her grandfather's dive shop while he's recuperating from surgery following a broken hip. She's avoided Duncan since the night they made love and destroyed their friendship five years ago.
Duncan has always loved Annie. He just didn't believe that he was good enough for her. He's worked hard over the years to be the kind of man she deserves. Now he fears he might be too late.
Duncan is determined to get Annie to give him a chance but it won't be easy. She's practically engaged and has her own life in Manhattan. He's got the one thing that he hopes can entice her to give them a chance. It's a map to the location of the Siren's Call. Annie's parents had died during one of their many dives in search of the fabled idol. Will a search for the idol bring Annie and Duncan together again? What about the aphrodisiac properties the idol possesses? Can Annie possibly resist the combination of potent mixture of Duncan and the idol?
Lori Wilde will entice readers to go in search of hidden treasure preferably with a sexy hunk of your own, but not before you finish reading this novella. I loved the emotional bond that's held up between Duncan and Annie despite the time since they last saw each other.REAL MEN DO IT BETTER is a collection of steamy tales by four of today's hottest authors. All of the stories have awesome characters, witty dialogue, and delicious plots that readers will want to read again and again. Each story is very different from the other three and yet somehow they easily flow from one to the next. Normally with anthologies I'm able to read one story and leave the rest for later but this time I eagerly read each and every one of them in one sitting. I highly recommend this book.
