Not Just Friends

Come to Camp Winnehatchee! 

For new experiences. (With boys!) 

For the great outdoors. (Where you can find yourself in nature. With boys!) 

For adults-only activities. (Best shared with men!) 

For venture capitalist Adam Sutherland, attending Camp Winnehatchee's reopening was a no-brainer. He's even reuniting with former camp counselors to chip in and help revive the camp. What he isn't expecting is to find a girl sleeping in his bunk. Or that the girl is none other than Julia McKee, who went from shy and awkward Good Girl to scorching-hot babe.... 

But the good girl is all gone...and she's headed off to Paris! But before she goes, Julia intends to show her bad-boy childhood crush just how to put the "wild" back into the wilderness! And this time, he'll be the one left wanting more....

I LOVE Harlequin Blaze books, they always have such hot, passionate sex scenes. When I saw this book was written by Tori Carrington and Kate Hoffman I knew I had to read this anthology as they both are two of my favorite authors in Harlequin books. The first story is Maid for Him by Tori Carrington. Kieran thinks he sees a mermaid asleep on his boat. He knows he must be dreaming. Then he is at a charity eve

This was another installment in The Mighty Quinns series that I just absolutely loved. I really enjoyed how Danny Quinn and Jordan Kennally hit it off so well together when they first met each other. Sparks were definitely flying every time these two were near each other and I definitely hoped that they would act on their desires for one another. Once they did, the storyline's heat index definitely jumped up

The Mighty Quinns: Riley

Research librarian Nan Galvin's days were fairly ordinary...until she came across a box of letters. They were glimpses into the life of the mother she hardly knew—which made her question everything she knew about herself. Now, Nan desperately needs the truth. And so she travels to Ireland, with its rolling green hills...and drop-dead gorgeous Irishmen!

Songwriter Riley Quinn isn't looking for The One. After all, a musician isn't meant to settle down. Of course, that was before he met the American girl who makes his blood burn like fire. He can't get enough of her. She's his muse, his lover, his woman.

And in a few days, she'll be going home…

Ms. Hoffman penned a fun storyline with likeable characters that can win any reader over right from the start. I had hoped that Nan Galvin would find all the missing answers about her deceased mother that she was looking for and what better way to accomplish this then to do it while she was vacationing in beautiful Ireland. My heart went out to her that she wanted so desperately to find out more about her mom

The Charmer

Publisher Alex Stamos has never had any trouble attracting the opposite sex. At least, he didn't…until he gets named one of Chicago's most notorious womanizers!
