Review: Coyote Heat (SEALs On Fire Book 1)


Title:  Coyote Heat (SEALs on Fire, Book 1)
Author:  Desiree Holt
Genre:  Erotica
Book Size:  64 pages 191 KB

A wild weekend in Key West with Team Arapaho is just what Navy SEAL Miguel "Coyote" Cruz needs after a tough mission. Cold beer and hot women. The last thing he expects is to meet a woman who singes his body with the slighted touch and stokes the fire in his guarded heart. Too bad she's determined not to fall for a military man.

An author who consistently produces excellence in storytelling and quality of writing is Desiree Holt. She crosses romance genres with ease and I've enjoyed reading all of her books to date.

Coyote Heat is a novella size story with a Navy SEAL hero who ultimately finds his love. Filled with sexual tension and erotic scenes that is consistent in Ms Holt's books, this book is an adventure from start to finish.

The character of Miguel "Coyote" Cruz, who is enjoying a little downtime in Key West after completing a dangerous mission, is sizzling and enigmatic. The heroine, Cori Sutherland, isn't into military guys but finds Coyote one hot number whom she can't resist.

Enter the tug and pull of passion and love scenes hot enough to melt your eReader's screen, and you have Coyote Heat.

Great short story with a "Happily For Now" ending, leaving the reader hoping for a longer second book to continue where this one ends.

Review: Kidnapped the Wrong Sister


Title:   Kidnapped the Wrong Sister
Author:   Marie Kelly
Genre:   Erotica
Book Size:   138 pages / 424 KB


Blurb taken from Amazon:

 “I had a phone call from my brother not long after I left you … he told me that you had ripped up the cheque, he had a lot to say about that, along with a few other things, none of which I will bore you with…. Not a smart move Miss Brown”

“And why is that Mr Dranias” she had bit back her eyes angry daggers

“Because you forced my hand….I told you there was no way that I was letting you get your greedy little hooks into my brother.. so welcome to my island”

Diona had looked at him, the confusion on her face so clear

“Wh…what do you mean” she stuttered

By now Nikias Dranias had moved so close to her that there was only about a foot between them, and she could see his dark eyes as they looked down on her with triumph on his face

“I mean Miss Brown that you will be staying here, until you’re due to return back to the UK, when I personally will put you back on the damn plane and out of our lives. My brother, has a very short attentions span Miss Brown, and I’m sure that once you are out of the way, he will quickly find other little playmates with which to fill his day.

Diona had looked at him with shock, her eyes wide with disbelief

“You can’t do that “she cried out

He had smiled back his eyebrow lifting

“I think you will find I already have”

Mistaken for her sister, Diona Brown had been tricked into visiting the island home of the Billionaire Nikias Dranias, who planned on keeping her there as his prisoner to stop his brother from marrying the woman he believed to be no more than a gold digger.

However passion had quickly flared between the two, and now Diona had found that she has to escape to not only save her sister but also herself from the enigmatic and distrustful Greek.


Oh. My. God.
DNF
I was able to choke down a sizable amount which enabled me to say: this is quite possibly THE WORST book I've ever read.


Why, you ask? Just look at the blurb copied straight from Amazon. Do you see all the punctuation errors? News flash - it gets worse!

The writing is worthy of a grade school graduate. I'd say junior high, but I've corrected those students works whose writing exceeded that of Marie Kelly. The story is weak, the plot predictable, the characters fall flat.

With too many abominations to the English language, I decided the best course of action would be to quit reading before I ruined my eyes.

Review: Touching Ghost (SEALs On Fire Book 6)








Touching Ghost: SEALs On Fire, Book 6
Author: Regina Carlysle
Genre: Erotica
Book Size: 55 Pages / 231 KB





SEAL Ren "Ghost" Ramsey never expected sparks to fly when he meets up with his childhood friend, Dr. Sadie Ballew while on leave in Key West. He's surprised to discover she's successful, sexy, and divorced. Sadie had always been too good for the likes of him, a son of an alcoholic and slated to become no better. He should keep her at arm's length, but he wants nothing more to burn up the sheets with the sassy lady she's become.

Sadie isn't fooled by the badassed, dangerous facade Ren wears like a second skin. She only sees the sweet yet conflicted boy she loved and lost all those years ago. Afraid to let him go off on another dangerous mission without knowing how she truly feels, Sadie needs to find the confidence to make the leap from friends to lovers.



Nice book to read. Some editing problems (ie: "join" written as "joint" in a few places) and while that sort of thing distracts me, it didn't take away from the story. In the usual Erotica form, sex drives the story, not the story-line or characters.

Scenes are well-written, nothing too funky or gross. Characters well thought out and believable. While I never felt my heart tug for either one of them, it was a good, quick read nonetheless and I enjoyed it...until the end, that is.

It's my belief, or perhaps my preference, that romance stories, Erotica included, end in a HEA or in the very least a Happily For Now. Not the case with Touching Ghost. If you don't mind the disappointment of a feel-good ending, you'll probably like this book. I felt it ended too abruptly, as if the author didn't want to go past her publisher's maximum word count or something.
