Desperate to stop her self-destructive slide, her parents step in and send her to America to live with her brother, Emre. Just the chance, she thinks, to escape the tragedy suffusing her Istanbul home.

He has reason to doubt his own abilities as a natural Dom and has given up finding his perfect mate. Until he agrees to a 1Night Stand. Set against a backdrop of ancient cultural clashes and Mediterranean family dynamics, Lale and Andreas meet in Las Vegas at the Castillo resort for their date. But it seems Madame Eve and destiny will both fail this time, unless Lale and Andreas are willing to relinquish enough control to discover what happiness can be found inside the soul of the other. Will stubbornness keep them from connecting, or can they let go long enough to heal?

There he comes face to face with the man who remembers him well.and helps him heal.

She makes a last ditch attempt over one summer weekend to reconcile with her husband, only to finally accept the truth: It was over. When duty calls in the form of a last minute beer festival she must attend, Erin recognizes the futility of her efforts and leaves, knowing when she returns, her husband will be gone for good.

Dedicated and loyal to her business, she tries to ignore the inevitable, but Jeff’s many skills serve as a balm to Erin’s battered psyche, as he helps with the beer booth and somehow works his way into her fantasies.

Genre(s): Erotic Romance, Contemporary
Liz Crowe gives readers an emotionally raw, erotically charged contemporary story. It was next to impossible not to feel a connection with Erin. It was also next to impossible not to lust for the gorgeous young man who comes to her aide. I enjoyed becoming entangled in her emotional weekend. She was a wonderfully complex modern heroine. Her inner most thoughts; her interpretations and sentiments are revealed

Their attraction leads them to an amazing encounter in the most unlikely place, but will Lisa accept Trent's true identity once it's revealed? Or will she finally surrender and reach out for the unexpected?

Genre(s): Erotic Romance, Contemporary
Liz Crowe crafts a fantastic new erotic series with her first Brewing Passion offering. Lisa is a great heroine; more than a survivor, she is a thriver in a predominantly male-dominated field. She is always so calm and collected and I enjoyed watching her deal with her own lack of control when it came to Trent. I mean it is all well and good to take your job so seriously but every woman needs to let off a lit

Genre(s): Erotic Romance, Contemporary
Liz Crowe concocts one fantastically steamy quick holiday read. Blake is such a charming hero, a wonderful mixture of self-effacing and sexy. Dani is a bold and brazen heroine, she sees something she likes and she goes after it. I'm not honestly sure how I felt about her. On the one hand I admired her determination but her forward behavior had me doubting her professionalism. The attraction between these two
