Review of Change of Plans by Dee Lloyd

I had the pleasure of reviewing a book entitled "Change of Plans" by Dee Lloyd. It is as follows:

Change of Plans
By Dee Lloyd
Publisher: Amber Quill Press, LLC
ISBN # 1-59279-484-X

Mike and Sara didn't plan on falling in love. His long-time friend and recent fiancee had eloped with her boss before Mike arrived home from a contracting job in Africa. Disillusioned and angry, he is looking for a fun-loving woman to share his honeymoon stateroom.

Sara has never been in love but she does want a family. She plans to spend the cruise considering a marriage proposal from Stephen, a wealthy electronics engineer whose political career her father, a retired state senator, is encouraging. She is fond of Stephen but wonders if she should settle for less than her dreams.

Someone on the cruise is out to get Sara and she doesn’t have a clue as to why. Between Sara and Mike, and some unexpected allies, they try to discover who is trying to rob and kill Sara. But under the romantic tropical moon, the best laid plans . . .

Dee Lloyd has written an excellent, excellent story with lots of suspense. Mike and Sara must overcome the odds playing against them, along with their vulnerable feelings regarding relationships, and learn to believe in their trust for one another. The characters are very well developed. I am definitely looking forward to reading more by Dee. She has a definite winner with this book and I would highly recommend this story.

Review for Hot and Bothered by Kelsey Lewis

I had the pleasure of reading Kelsey Lewis' anthology entitled Hot and Bothered. Here is my review:

Hot and Bothered
By Kelsey Lewis
Publisher: Amber Quill Press
ISBN: 10: 1-59279-702-4
ISBN: 13: 978-1-59279-702-8

Hot and Bothered is an anthology that contains three of Kelsey’s stories, Reunion, Desirable Enemy, and Cooking with K.C.

Reunion is about a couple that met when they were younger but life and situations sent them their separate ways. Now, years later, their children are getting married to one another, and Sam and Allie are brought back together to wrap up and attend their children’s wedding. The sexual tension between them comes to a head which puts the two of them into hilarious situations which seem destined to keep them apart. Kelsey tells a wonderful story with this one.

Desirable Enemy takes place on another planet. Two enemies come together, one driven by her desire to heal, and the other, a prince, looking for answers and wanting to end the violence between the Ajindas and the Nor’euros. But someone will stop at nothing to be certain that doesn’t happen. Excellent story! Kelsey kept me on the edge of my seat wondering just why and who would do anything to stop Linnea and Rajan from succeeding. I am definitely looking forward to reading more of this world.

In Cooking with K.C., Kelsey offers some hot advice on what happens when a younger bad boy wants an older woman who seems resistant to his charms? How will he use K.C.’s catering against her to show how good it can be between them? Kelsey has a definite winner here with this story about what a man won’t do ultimately to get his hands on the woman next door. Extremely enjoyable.

Kelsey writes three very compelling, sensual romances in which the heros and heroines must overcome the odds dealt them. I would definitely recommend reading Kelsey Lewis. She is a very enjoyable read, and I look forward to reading more from her.
