“The theme for this contemporary romance anthology is about having a spring-fling with the guy next door. Each author approached the theme differently.
I adore Lori Foster's heroes. They are alpha, protective and place family first, just like what Jett does in "Ready, Set, Jett." Natalie and Jett are neighbors and are already enjoying a no-strings attached fling. Jett has a dangerous edge, but he's also very loving and patient. He wants more from Natalie, even if it means pushing the boundaries in the bedroom or inviting himself to go along with her on her spring vacation, he'll do whatever it takes for Natalie to share more of her life with him.
Susan Donovan uses one of my favorite storylines in "Gail's Gone Wild." Gail is a single mother who is spending spring break in Key West chaperoning two teenagers. She's been all work and no play and hoped to get a little rest and relaxation. When she meets Jesse, the guy next door who looks as disreputable as a pirate, her vacation itinerary takes a detour as he becomes her guide to taking a walk on the wild side.
"Just One Taste" by Victoria Dahl is a sexy story about a hot one-night stand. Beth and Eric have exhibition booths next to each other at a business convention. They share an instant attraction, but Beth is the manager for an erotic boutique and is not as adventurous as one would assume. She has a thing for preppy guys, but having a fling with someone like Eric would totally ruin her reputation. A one-night stand, however, will allow her to explore her secret fantasies.
All of these stories are very sexy romances. Lori Foster's novella is an introduction to her upcoming trilogy and Susan Donovan's novella is a stand-alone. Victoria Dahl's story, however, does not have a resolution. It turns out that you need to read her upcoming trilogy to find out what happens next.
