BLURB:

Texting All Hearts—Boxed Set

Seven Multi-Published Authors

What do rodeos, otherworldly encounters, exotic dancers, bondage, hot sex, refound love, and time travel have in common? Besides romantic, edge of your seat fun and intrigue, they all evolve from a single text. Seven multi-genre novellas that promise to heat your nights and warm your hearts.

Her Cowboy Dom

Bliss

Tate Hardy’s best friend leaves him all his cattle if he spends thirty days on a ranch with a woman he wants but can't have. Jess is a nice girl, and Tate doesn't do nice.

When he agrees, Jess gets more than she bargained for from her cowboy Dom.

Midnight Road

As mysteries unfold, inalterable conditions threaten her romantic relationship, her life, and possibly, the world.

My Review:

These are seven stories, quick to read, very romantic and sensual. Some are more erotic than others but the passionate part enriches the text and not only is the protagonist.

One of my favorites is the first (Her Cowboy Dom). Jess has just lost her brother and is about to lose her beloved ranch. Josh, her brother, doesn't think she can do it alone, and in his will left the cattle to his dearest friend, Tate. He also wrote a letter in which he asks him to protect his sister. Jess has always been in love with Tate and feels that he is attracted to her but Tate is the classic boy from a night and go and can not do with Josh's sister. They will live a month in the same house: will Tate resist?

Another one that I really liked is Wounded Hearts: Sarah lost her beloved boyfriend Logan in Afghanistan. After almost a year Brandon, a fellow Logan, finds the courage to contact her to inform her boyfriend's message and respond to her questions. Will be born a strong attraction: Sarah really love Brandn or just pours on him her love for Logan?

They are stories very different from each other, so it's a varied and exciting reading. We move from the paranormal (in the second account all the houses in the area are inhabited by ghosts), the thiller (in A Lethal Affair a dancer disappears after meeting a man known in chat), to time travel (the last story, where a girl travel in the future to try to meet again with her soul mate), and the classic bondage (The Sun Delivers).

EXCERPT:

Sexting Texas

“Got ‘em.” Jangling her keys at him to show her success, Texas pulled open the screen door. It took her a moment to get the key in the lock, but she managed and the tumblers clicked. She turned to thank him. “Goodni—”

He stood close, too close, his big frame crowding her space. She glanced up at his face, but it was too dark to make out his expression. The hand at her waist pushed her against the door. His head lowered. Warm breath teased her lips, and the slight scent of beer tickled her nose.

“Will?” She barely got the question out before his lips brushed hers softly, lightly. Her tummy took a little tumble. Then his mouth opened over hers, his tongue moving in slow to skim hers, and the little tumble turned into a high-rise free fall.

A low groan rumbled in his throat. His other hand palmed the back of her head as his hips ground into hers. She arched against him, aching for the hand on her ribs to venture farther up, aching for his muscular thigh to slide between her legs.

His tongue eased from her mouth, and his lips were gone, along with the weight of his body. The last to leave were his hands as he stepped back and adjusted the hat cocked to one side of his head. He cleared his throat. “Sorry.”

She wasn’t. Like the kiss they’d shared fourteen years ago, this one was a total surprise. And like that kiss, it rocked her world. She hadn’t even thought about stopping him, not for a second. Wished he’d do it again. “Too much alcohol.”

“Yeah, and talk of sex.”

“Huh? Oh, yeah.” Definitely.

He backed up to the edge of the porch. “See you Monday night.”

“Monday?” God, she sounded like a moron. What was it they said about alcohol and brain cells?

“Town meeting, remember?”

Texas groaned. Maybe she’d get drunk again Monday night so she’d have an excuse not to go. “I hate those things.”

“Me, too.” Will pivoted on the ball of one boot and took the steps two at a time. “Night.”

“Night.” Texas watched him for a second, that sauntering walk unmistakable, then sighed and let herself in the house. She shut the door, leaned against it, and traced her lips with fingers that shook. No doubt about it, William Charles Sanderson had kissed her for the second time in her life. And once again he’d apologized.
