Grade-B
Hotness Level- Inferno
Kink Level-Low
Reviewed by Kay

This is Book Four in James’ Blacktop Cowboys series. It would probably be best to read the series in order so you would know the other characters’ stories as well.

Celia Lawson is a barrel racer and Kyle Gilchrist is a bull rider in the rodeo circuit. They’ve known each other since they were children. Celia has been half in love with Kyle almost that long but never really admitted it, even to herself. Kyle, who has earned quite a reputation with the buckle bunnies, has had his eye on Celia for a couple years. He was warned by Celia’s brothers, his best friends by the way, to never try to date Celia. These two have constantly argued and bickered over the years, so it is a huge shock to them to wake up in Vegas one morning, married. Sadly enough, the alcohol- fueled evening before is not remembered very well.

Kyle is called home for a family emergency and Celia goes with him. They forge an alliance for six months. At the end of six months they will go their separate ways and end the marriage farce. Not to spoil the book, let me say the chemistry between these two is on fire. The love scenes are plenty and steamy. This is a Lorelei James’ constant and one of the reasons she is an auto-read for me.

Abbie is a plain and dull grocery store clerk, but she’s content in her boredom.  She’s recovering from and abusive relationship and has a lot of issues related to that.  So living every day on it’s own, boring as that may be, brings her a level of happiness and self worth.  Then one night out her apartment window she sees in the window of man she knows only as The Serial Killer.  Other people in the apartment complex have given him this name because he’s so reclusive and mysterious.  Watching him through the window she’s captivated as he strips and masterbates.  And she’s sure he can’t realize she’s watching, can he? 

And so starts this deliciously dark and erotic story.  It is HOT.  Charlotte Stein has an incredible style of writing.  She uses the first person and she really knows how to write erotica.  It’s amazing how she blends the dark moments between these two damaged people and at the same time makes it so hot and so emotional that you understand why it’s worth it for them to try to overcome their scars.

My only complaint would be that I wanted more.  It was about 100 pages on my Kindle and I wanted more.  I give it an A.
