REVIEW

"A hot romp"

B&B owner Brynn Sutherland handles stress in a unique manner by sleepwalking. She worries about getting too much nocturnal exercise in when her former lover Cade Hunter arrives at her B&B. Cade is working undercover to keep the woman he never stopped loving from harm as he and his superiors think she is a target of a serial killer.

When Brynn sleepwalks into his bed, Cade keeps her safe. He even suggests a cure that they visit their old hangouts so that she can resolve what is bothering her from the past. She agrees, desperate for anything that will let her remain in her bed for the night. That is what she felt she wanted but soon realizes her subconscious is not stressed, as her mind wants her body in Cade's bed permanently.

This heated tale is 95% contemporary romance and 5% serial killer suspense. The story line focuses on Brynn's sleeping disorder and Cade's efforts to use that to help keep her in his life with her safety taking a back seat to all else though he rationalizes that his bed is her safest spot. The characters are a fine couple sharing a strange courtship, but fans need to know that the intrigue is a minor device to enable Cade to go to the B&B, something he could have just done without the impetus.

SUMMARY

When it's this close. . .
Jordan Adamson is in a jam. His idyllic life in Alaska has never been the same since a chance encounter with a twin brother he hadn't known he had. Jordan has to impersonate Jeffrey in front of his closest colleagues, and in L.A., no less! Good thing Jordan met Ashley Baines — she's offered to steer him clear...right to bed!

Just get closer!
Ashley's got the biggest promotion of her life standing right in front of her, yet all she can see is tall, hunky, laid-back Jeffrey? He's saying all the right things and making all the right moves, but she's never had the urge to touch him before. Can this be the same uptight guy she once knew, who's now back in town after the same hotshot job she's up for?

With the lies closing in on Jordan, can Ashley get past the truth once she knows it? Only one thing's for sure, it's gonna be too close to call!
