Blurb:Three sizzling-hot stories from New York Times and international bestselling author Elle Kennedy!
Give a SEAL an inch, and he’ll take your heart.
Heat of the Moment
For almost a year Shelby has lusted over swoon-worthy Garrett, but she can’t figure out why he’s not interested…until she overhears him saying she’s too vanilla for his taste. When a heat wave sends the sexy Navy SEAL into her bakery, she finally has the opportunity to show him exactly what he’s missing…
Heat of Passion
Holly has too much on her plate to think about a serious relationship. A hot fling with a SEAL, though, is the perfect way to take the edge off. The last thing she expects is to run into her gorgeous one-night stand weeks later, and to discover that Carson wants the one thing she doesn’t: more. In the face of his methodical seduction, her resistance is crumbling…
Heat of the Storm
Will has waited fifteen years for the storm that sends Mackenzie into his arms. He’s the one man not scared of her psychic gift, and their one night of passion is enough to convince this tenacious SEAL that they are much, much more than friends. Now he just has to convince her of that…
Warning: Contains dangerously hot Navy SEALS, and heroines not afraid to take them on one—or two—at a time.
OVERALL:
3 stars — I think these were just too short for me, and so I just couldn’t get into them. *shrugs* Oh well.
HEAT OF THE MOMENT:
3 stars — This was a solid leaning-more-towards-erotica short story until I hit the ending. Then I grew angry at Garrett’s insensitive overreaction, and annoyed that Shelby was the one that apologized (and Garrett’s was an afterthought). Not cool in my book.
HEAT OF PASSION:
4 stars — I enjoyed this one more…it felt like we got a bit more than just the sex in this one…which made me more interested in the sex. Carson and Holly were just fun.
HEAT OF THE STORM:
3 stars — I couldn’t get into the initial steamy scene, because it was so sudden and abrupt. I don’t know why some erotica works better for me than others. I’m also not a fan of the psychic thing, and I wasn’t huge on the games played.
Yeah, these were like short bursts of erotica.
