Ms. Anwar has written a great story based on a topic that unfortunately really exists in our world. She touches on the atrocities committed against enslaved women, but the main focus is on Jake and Yvie and how their relationship progresses. Instant attraction on both parts mixed with doubt because they are not sure just who the other person really is.

Underneath It All by Alicia Sparks
After one night with each other years ago, Shane had never been able to forget Emma, nor she him. But Emma thought Shane was too young for her and she married Roger. The guilt she feels over Roger’s criminal behavior drives Emma out of town and away from her home and family for years. Shane finds Emma and brings her home for her brother’s wedding, and hopes to get her to stay with him.

This story will tug at your heartstrings while heating up your emotions. Ms. Sparks’ makes it easy to relate to the feelings of both the hero and heroine. You get to meet Emma’s family and while they do not take over the story, just enough is known about them to hope their story will be told soon.

Blood Feud by Kimberly Zant
Transferred by her job, Jillian meets her neighbor, Beau, who is super hot and sexy. Later in town, she meets another Beau, who is also super hot and sexy. Which Beau will be for her?

The many similarities between the two Beau’s make Jillian question whether they are related. It going to take getting to know them better to find her answers, and Jillian has no problem with that.

All three stories were well written with plots that made it difficult to put down the book. If you like alpha heroes that know how to treat a lady, and heroines who know how to take what they want, this book will be perfect for you.
