Cajun Heat by Celeste Anwar
Yveline Tebeau is trying to start her career in
journalism but is finding a major roadblock - her looks. So she has
decided to approach with a new angle, she is going to have the story
in hand and the report written before she goes to the newspaper.
Yveline has found the perfect subject - a sex slave circle. She has
found a cabin that is a rendezvous spot for the circle and after
days of watching the only thing she has seen is a man who looks like
a sex god. This waiting and watching is awful so she decides to
snoop in the cabin. Jake Duvall is a Cajun from his toes to the top
of his head and he is also unsure why this woman has been watching
him for the last few days. When Yveline breaks in to the cabin,
Jake is waiting for her. What happens next can make or break what
they are both working on. Yveline is determine to get her story any
way she has to but will the true story be the sex slave ring or
something neither Jake or Yveline expected.
Cajun Heat is wrapped around a
serious crime of kidnapping girls to buy and sell as sex slaves.
Yveline and Jake are both fiercely determined to complete their
respective jobs and not be tripped up by someone they think has been
sent to test them. I loved that both Yveline and Jake’s characters
worked together with little to no knowledge of the other. The heat
that naturally existed between them was quick and hot and very
believable. The ending of their story was just what I would have
expected. Ms. Anwar has started out this book with a story that
will get your blood flowing.
Underneath It All by Alicia
Sparks
Emma Hutchins left behind her family, friends
and the hometown that she loved after an incident caused by her
ex-husband. She has a new life now and is positive that she can
never go back to anything she once knew. Shane Richards agreed to
find one of his best friends sister in time for his marriage. Shane
has wanted Emma for so many years and now that he has found her he
is determine to get her back where she belongs - back home with
him. Shane has made it so Emma must face all that she left behind.
Emma wonders if she can handle it, and if so will she also get to
have Shane?
Underneath It All is an emotional
story where Emma is forced to finally face things that she has
always blamed herself for. Shane knows that if he is ever going to
get Emma in his life for good, it’s now or never. I found Ms.
Sparks has written a loving story of acceptance and friendship
turned into lasting love. This is a story that I know I will read
several times.
Blood Feud by Kimberly Zant
Jillian Cook has moved to a new town after
being transferred by her job. She is hardly in her apartment when
she meets two spectacular Cajun men. They both give her the best
type of shivers and the most interesting thing is that they have the
same first name, Beau, and own the same type of construction
companies. Jillian quickly discovers that while they resemble each
other in certain ways, she has stumbled into a blood feud and
neither is willing to lose Jillian. Jillian refuses to take a side
and enjoys both of them in what turns into a championship sexcapade
- after all a girl has to do what she has to do
Blood Feud is a fast paced story
that embroils Jillian with two men that have more in common then
either would want. Both Beaus had me from the first and I found
myself agreeing with Jillian’s decision not to be forced to pick a
side in a battle she stumbled into. The ending is not what I
expected at all but I could see how it worked for Jillian and both
Beaus. Blood Feud will not only get your heart
pumping but just might cause heart palpitations.
Slow Heat reminded me of great
Cajun cooking, you start out easy with the heat and spices and then
slowly ramp them up to hot and spicy. All three of these stories
about Southern boys definitely qualify as hot and spicy yet they are
different in how that spice is delivered. I loved that none of the
stories were heavy-handed or too intense while being gripping. By
the end of this book I decided it should have a warning label - Read
only with lots of ICE COLD water. This is a book you will want to
have on your shelf.
