You met them in N.J. Walters's story Erin's Fancy, and now Carly Ames and Nathan Connors have their own story in Capturing Carly.

Nathan and Carly fell in love quickly and even more quickly became engaged. But now Carly's nerves are stretched taut as she prepares for her wedding to Nathan. She wants to marry him, but she's also scared of losing herself to Nathan's intense sexual needs. She's also a bit afraid that Nathan doesn't need her the way she needs him. He seems to love her, but can he truly give her his heart?

As the wedding draws nearer, Nathan grows more anxious. Carly seems to be withdrawing from him and he won't stand for it. What they need is some alone time, but unfortunately wedding plans, work, and life in general seems to be conspiring against them. He needs to prove to Carly that he's ready to make a lifetime commitment to her and he needs to do it fast. Will Carly believe him, or is their relationship set to burn out as quickly as it flared to life?

Capturing Carly sets out to explore the trials and tribulations of a new relationship. Carly and Nathan have circled around each other all their life, so finally falling in love is a big step for them both, and author N.J. Walters does a good job of exploring how they both have to grow and adapt to their new life together. As usual, the story is poignant and sensual at the same time, making the moments between Carly and Nathan both heated and loving. Even though the main plot of the story focuses on Carly and Nathan's relationship, it is never dull or boring; in fact it is quite the opposite. Ms. Walters has made the study of a relationship exciting, erotic, and very well done. As usual, you can't go wrong when you pick up a story from this fantastic writer.
