| Alice Abbot was plain. She was “plain scared” of storms. She had been her whole life. When a storm almost devoured her car, she pulled off the road and tried to wait out the storm’s fury. She was startled when a policeman knocked on her window. Officer Ronin Stryker took her to his patrol car in order to calm her fears.
Two days later, Ronin came into Alice’s bookstore and coffee shop. This time, Cassandra, her beautiful, sensual, aggressive cousin was there to make sure Alice’s self-esteem did not surface. Ronin invited Alicia to join him the next evening for a night of life-changing actions. Ms. Jane E. Jones has done a good job of telling a sexy tale with a new slant on the plot. This work was fast-paced, entertaining and believable. Jones took an alpha male with an old connection to the town and a woman who felt so ordinary and invisible that she even allowed people to call her Alice (plain) instead of her real name, Alicia. Although there were several friends who surfaced frequently, the storyline revolved around this one couple and the interrupter, Cassandra. I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. It’s a perfect pick-me-up when you need a jolt of sensuality. I recommend, highly, this book for all.
