Hidden
Enemies
A head injury
has changed Jenna's once loving husband into a brutal monster. After a year of
abuse, Jenna divorces him. Rick is enraged and swears to kill her. Even the
police recommend she disappear for a while. Problem is -- she doesn't know how.
Then she
meets Cole. Among his many -- attributes, Cole has published a book, Hidden
Enemies. In it, Jenna learns everything she needs to know about hiding. After
two nights of passion, Jenna takes one of Cole's books and disappears. But
disappearing from Cole -- or the lust he stirs in her --proves impossible.
Meltdown
Where
there's smoke, there's fire.
Evan
Murdoch's firefighting career is on the line, his confidence shattered by a
tragic accident that claimed the life of his girlfriend. Neighbor Lillian O'Hara
understands disaster all too well and refuses to jump into any fire.
But the
passionate heat that unexpectedly flares between them forces them to confront
the issues holding them back from what they most want.
When a
quake traps them in a basement, the threat of a collapsing building will force
them to decide if their red-hot attraction and their lives are worth the
ultimate risk.
Make That
Man Mine
On her
twenty-fifth birthday, Emma Montrose decides it's time to show bad-boy
investigator Jack Sullivan she's more than an efficient secretary. She's a
woman with needs, and she needs him.
Jack is a
taniwha, a shifter, who requires women to satiate the sexual demands of the
serpent within. Nothing more. Then work forces the reluctant Jack and ecstatic
Emma undercover as a couple. Thrown together, pretence and reality blur,
generating hot sex laced with risk...
My View:
This
anthology from Ellora's Cave offers three separate, but completely compelling
stories. I picked up this book because one of the authors, Denise Agnew, was
recommended by a friend and I decided to give her a try. Now I'm ready to check
out more of her stories. In Meltdown, Agnew brings together two great
characters who come together at just the right time. Evan is a sexy man dealing
with the tragedy of a former relationship and Lil is ready to make some changes
in her life. The story is humorous and heartwarming.
The other
two authors contributing to this anthology are no slouches themselves. I liked
the heros in all the stories, although sometimes I was a little put off by
Munro 's Jack Sullivan character. I think the author handled his situation well
by turning him into a smelly shapeshifter and offering the sassy heroine the
chance to get a few digs in. Make that Man Mine offers some great humor and a
different breed of shapeshifter for the reader's delight. Oh, and I did say the
sex is hot in all three stories. You might just need a firefighter of your own
after you read these stories.
