My Rating ~ 3 bites and a nibble
Three contemporary
romances revolving around the late year holidays. One each for Thanksgiving,
Christmas, and New Year’s Eve.
PLAY WITH ME by Lisa
Renee Jones ~ 3 bites and a nibble
Kali Miller ends up in
Vegas starting her life over. But before she can begin, the job that she was
heading towards disappears. So she ends up as an executive secretary to Damion
Ward, CEO of a Vegas casino. Sparks fly from the getgo, but are either in a
place to act on them?
Decently written, it
feels a bit shortchanged due to the brevity of the story. The characters are
well-rounded even if I didn’t care for Damion all that much. Excellent sexual
tension that finally explodes.
SNOWFALL by Mary Ann
Rivers ~ 3 bites
Jenny Wright is a
scientist slowly losing her vision. She spends her evenings chatting online
with a stranger known only to her as “C” and the rest of her non-work time
resisting Evan’s, her therapist, efforts to help her as she slowly withdraws
from life.
The writing style is
strange to me, but the plot is a good one. Jenny’s mom is awesome and who
wouldn’t love Evan? C is a mystery, but a thrilling one. All-in-all a decent
read.
AFTER MIDNIGHT by Serena
Bell ~ 4 bites
Nora Hart and Miles
Shepherd meet at a New Year’s Eve party where neither know the actual tenant of
the apartment. After some flirting, sexy dancing, and sharing a breathtaking
midnight kiss, they are separated before they learn each other’s names. With
Nora a Boston local and Miles living in Cleveland, what are the chances these
two will find each other again?
This is my favorite of
the three stories. It’s got a decent plot and wonderful characters. Plus lots
of heat and humor, too. A great read.
