The last person Melanie Tucker wants to find herself trapped with on a party boat is her nemesis, Adam Stone. As always, he's too smooth…and a bit too sexy for comfort. But when they both fall overboard—and wind up stranded together—Melanie just can't resist all the delicious body heat smoldering between them….
Caught in the Act
When a robbery goes bad, undercover cop Mick Dawson can't believe Delilah Piper (aka mystery writer Lela DeBraye) was just in the wrong place at the wrong time—and neither do the perps. The only way to protect her while he investigates what really happened is to stick with her 24/7—and try not to fall for the object of his investigation!
Overall Rating: 4 Rockin’ ★★★★
Body Heat:
Up in Flames: Body Heat is a blast
from the past romance that puts both the characters in a very precarious
place. By fate, Melanie Tucker is on a
boat at the same time her long ago tormentor from high school, Adam Stone. However, they both see things very
differently. Adam has worked hard for
everything he has, and made a name for himself and his family. Where as he thinks that Melanie has always
been spoon fed anything she ever wanted.
Melanie was always attracted to Adam, although he was from the wrong
side of the tracks, he teased and tormented all through school. But the kicker is, both of them have the
wrong impression about the other. Will
being stranded together bring them the peace and resolution that they both so
desperately need and desire? This is a
short story, but packs a huge punch! Way
to go, Lori! I thoroughly enjoyed your
vision. Grēta

Caught in the Act:
Up in Flames: Caught in
the Act was a wonderful story of mystery and romance. There were many twists and turns, ups and
downs which kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire book. A robbery gone bad, police detective, Mick
Dawson saves the woman he's been infatuated with for weeks. The woman he has yet to meet. But circumstances being what they are, bring
them close together and an ignited romance that neither one can deny. Delilah Piper, a romance mystery writer, is
caught in the middle of criminal activity from all her "research"
that she does to inspire her writing.
Never one to pay attention to men, she finds herself drawn to the
delectable Mick Dawson and is falling hard and fast when he saves her
life. All of the various personalities
in this story were brought to life in such a way that it felt as if I was
living amongst them. The characters were
fun and fierce! They were easily
relatable. I absolutely adored Caught in
the Act, with all it's mysteriousness and much appreciated romance. Great job,
Lori! You created a winner again!!! Grēta
