Luke Williams is a former actor turned producer who just wants to live his life without the paparazzi hounding his every move. He left Hollywood and moved to the Seattle area, near his parents. He keeps to himself pretty much and enjoys that.

Natalie Connor is a photographer who takes pictures of nature for the most part. She does do couple photos that can be considered erotic. She lives with her roommate, Jules. She is contented in her life as well.

These two characters meet when Luke assumes Natalie is trying to take his picture. Natalie thinks Luke is trying to mug her. They part ways and run into each other the next day at a local shop and from there, a romance is born.

I liked the story but felt it dragged in the middle. Luke was all in and that’s always a sexy quality in a hero. Natalie was a good heroine too. She had made mistakes in her past and had tried to move on from them. It was predictable but I was very okay with that. I loved that, at their wedding, Luke had two chairs decorated with her deceased parents’ favorite flowers in their honor. My eyes got very teary at that scene.

I will probably read more of this series but I wish there had been a little less sex. I know, I know, I can hardly believe I said that either. This book had copious amounts of sex in it. It was hot but gratuitous. Oh, and I LOVE the cover. Very sexy!

Blake Coleman is the first born of a family of modern day cowboys. He lives at the Six Pack Ranch with the rest of his family. He  takes the responsibilities of ranch life very seriously. Jaxi is the girl next door. She has grown up with the Coleman boys. She has loved Blake for as long as she can remember but he has ignored her at every turn.

These two characters dance around each other and their feelings until one night Jaxi pushes Blake just a little too far. It starts off a domino effect that includes members of his family, from his parents to his brothers.

This started of sweet and engaging but toward the middle I had to force myself to finish the book. I am a huge Lorelei James fan and I wanted this to be like that, I think. This isn’t bad but just felt a little long and it lost me for awhile. I don’t think I’ll continue the series though.

Kade Jamenson is over one hundred years old and a werewolf. He’s the heir to the throne so to speak. He made a bad decision in choosing a mate. Basically, because the woman he chose wasn’t his true mate. It ended badly and he’s been kind of surly and brooding ever since.

Melanie Cross is a chemist who has spent all her time in the lab for the last several years. No real dating or sex. She has missed it but just had other things in her life to focus on, like getting her PhD.

Melanie’s best friend, Larissa and Kade’s brother, Jaspar decide to set the two of them on a blind date. They both reluctantly agree and meet for dinner. Melanie arrives first but when Kade walks in he can smell his true mate’s scent.

There’s some romance, suspense, choices, family/friend interference and some hot sex in this very short story. It’s worth a read but I haven’t decided if I will go on in the series yet.
