This edition contains Tempting Witness and Better Late Than Never - two short novellas.

Tempting Witness has a slight romantic suspense plot - it just failed to add the suspense. Basically she witnesses a crime, runs, hides out at her brother's best friend's place and has lots of sex. The dirty cop is fairly obvious (we only meet two...) Neither character grabbed me, Madison was a typical virgin Southern belle and Rafe was your usual ex marine turned cop who's always been in love with her. You've read this before. The sex was average. 2 stars.

Better Late Than Never was erotica with a trace of plot. Didn't like either character and the sex was meh. 1 star. ( )

This collection brought some much needed heat to my world as the snow piles up outside my frosted windows. Here's the skinny on what happens when two couples fighting attraction end up under the same roof.

Tempting Witness

Madison Dubois & rafe Jackson have know each other for years. He's her brother's BF but since leaving the Marines & becoming a Miami cop, he's kept his distance. Madison owns a bookstore & after locking up one evening, interrupts an assault in a nearby alley. Unfortunately, she's seen by the bad guys. After a string of events, she ends up hiding on Rafe's front porch.
Rafe is aware of what went down that day & is relieved to find her safe. But that quickly turns to nerves as he finally has the woman he's always lusted after actually in his home.
It's a quick read so I don't want to give away any more of the plot. But can I just say how much I appreciate a love/erotic story with a female lead who's NOT a weeping, spineless damsel in distress? Yes, she's in danger but Madison is a smart, successful businesswoman who speaks her mind & doesn't resort to moments of high drama.
Rafe is suitably hunky & comes across as a decent, hard working guy whose tough exterior hides a soft side, especially where Madison is concerned. These are two mature adults so no games or teenage angst, thank God! As for the sex....well. despite the weather outside, you might want to jumpstart the AC. It's a great little escape with better writing than many full length novels I've read.

Better Late Than Never

This is a very short story, about 50 pages on my Kindle. Lindsay Taylor is an architecture student who's been getting work experience at a large firm for the past year. She's also spent that time trying to ignore Randy Phillips, her boss' son. It hasn't been that difficult since, until recently, he barely noticed her.
But 6 weeks ago she ended up in hospital after an accident & it was Randy who visited, making sure she had everything she needed. And something she didn't...one perfect, smokin' kiss.
On her first day back, Randy appears to ferry her home. He's been fighting his feelings for a year. Lindsay has dodged his calls since leaving hospital & he's done waiting. If she thinks he will just drop her off, she can think again.
You can probably see where this is going & you get to sit back and watch the sparks (and clothes...) fly.
If you didn't heed my advice above regarding the AC, do it now.

This collection also includes a sneak peek at "Taming the Alpha". I'd never read this author before & really enjoyed her smart dialogue & well rounded characters who are in adult situations & act like it.
For $3, it's the perfect package for sampling a new author or just taking a short but steamy, romantic break at the end of a long say.

I really enjoyed both of these stories. The heroes take care with the heroine and the characters change and grow through the story. The love scenes are great. None of the characters are perfect but that's what makes them believable and allows them to grow! ( )

Tempting Trouble

Tempting Witness: When Madison was witness to a severe beating, she ran to her brother's best friend, Detective Rafe Jackson for protection. She's always known she can count on Rafe, but the last time she saw him, he created quite a stir with her date and she just can't understand why he'd be like that. Rafe has always been attracted to his best friend's little sister, Madison. He's always held back because the family has always meant so much to him. When Madison shows up on his doorstep, he knows he'll always protect her, but can he keep his attraction under wraps in such close quarters?

I adored Tempting Trouble from the first word right through to the very last. This story is as sexy as it gets and Rafe's actions and words will melt your heart immediately. This is my kind of story and Rafe is so much the perfect hero, he'll pretty much blind you to the heroine. Except for the sex scenes. Then you'll just be wishing YOU were the heroine (lol)! It's erotic, sensual, and very descriptive. Ms. Stuart is my new favorite author and I'll be knocking everyone down to get to her next book (okay, I won't really knock anyone down, maybe just push a little…lol). I loved it, loved it, loved it! Tempting Trouble is a KEEPER for sure!

Better Late Than Never: Lindsay had been in an accident and Randy, her boss's son stayed by her side at the hospital. Randy has wanted Lindsay since she first started at his father's company. He kissed her at the hospital and since she's been home, she's been avoiding him, not answering his calls. Now that she's back to work, Randy doesn't intend to give her any more time to ignore him. He's going to make sure she knows they're perfect for each other…and then he plans to take her to bed to prove it!

After Tempting Witness, the first story in this book, my expectations were so high, I had a little trouble getting into the second story, Better Late Than Never, as completely as the first. With that being said, it was still a delightful story, with great characters. The hero and heroine were honest, straightforward, and when it came right down to it, completely let go with each other in bed. Randy was not only protective, but loving and let Lindsay know exactly what he was always thinking. They're an adorable couple and it was a great bonus story! ( )

This book contains two short and fast erotic romances that tease the reader with red hot sizzling passion.

Tempting Witness: After witnessing a terrible crime, Madison Dubois, runs to the only person she knows she can trust to keep her safe, Detective Rafe Jackson. Rafe has been in love with Madison for longer than he cares to admit and when she shows up on his doorstep, he has to keep her safe even while the sparks starts flying.

Better Late Than Never: Because he’s in management, Randall Phillips has kept his distance from Lindsey Taylor, but when she’s in a car accident, he throws the rules out the door. Only Lindsey has been avoiding him since the hospital but now that she’s back at work, he’s not going to let her get away with that any more.

Tempting Witness is a fast paced plot with lots of suspense, romance, red hot sex and great characters that grabs the reader’s attention and doesn’t let go until the very end. The attraction between Madison and Rafe burns hot enough to scorch the reader and the frequent sex scenes make the reader burn even hotter. The suspense builds more tension and adds depth to this enjoyable story. The bonus story is an extra spicy tease that sizzles with steamy passion and sex. Both stories are brought to life with vivid images and intense details and the author makes it feel as if the reader is part of the stories.

While I think they are both really short teases, they are very enjoyable ones that stimulate the senses and give the reader a delicious taste of happily ever after romance. ( )
