SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

Raven goes to stay with Rowan after their parents marry. They are both attracted to each other and begin a romantic relationship. Rowan comes home one day and knows something is wrong. He sees that Raven is tied up and someone is standing over her with a knife. Who is it? Can he protect her?

I liked Raven and Rowan. Theirs is an instant attraction. They had never met before, and both are consenting adults. I liked the epilogues. The middle of the story is so full of plot holes and typos. Until the serial killer is standing over Raven with a knife, no mention is made of him past the first few pages. How did he get in? Then in all of this, Raven's mother turns up and starts yelling at her for hugging Rowan after being saved from a serial killer? Then Raven dumps a load of garbage on her mother for the past? And Rowan's dad just removes Raven's mother from the apartment? No questions about the guy tied up on the floor? Then you have the last chapter where there is a mention of the serial killer's trial and conviction. Also, there is apparently a bill sent to Raven by her mother for what was spent on Raven while growing up? Did she pay it? Who does that sort of thing?

I know this is a short story, but you cannot have a serial killer, mother issues, and lust inside of two days. Something gets dropped. These were good lead characters. Too bad the story did not match them.… (altro)

Luke, the sheriff, receives a call about a break-in. Going to the house of the break-in, he finds Lori who has returned to look after her grandmother. Attracted to her, he settles her down and helps with her grandmother while his deputies look for the intruder. Not finding the intruder, Luke stays to keep Lori and her Nana safe. Lori has been taught not to trust men but that does not stop her attraction towards Luke. Will they satisfy their attraction? Will the sheriff and his deputies find the intruder?

I liked this story. It was a fast read with everything occurring quickly. I liked Lori and her innocence, but she was able to stick up for herself. I liked Luke's strength and ability to put Lori at ease. When Luke figures out who the intruder is, I do not feel bad for the intruder. He got what he had coming.

I look forward to reading more of this author.… (altro)
