"Steamy anthology"
'Luring Lucy' by Lori Foster. Four years ago, Lucy caught
her husband in bed with another woman. Following the
divorce, she swore off males, but now wants a brief fling
to satiate her hormones. Long term friend Bram plans to be
that man except with one change in her definitions, brief
in his mind means lifetime. 'Truth or Dare' by Laura Bradley. In Texas, Shay goes
undercover pretending to be a reporter in order to learn
who killed the bullriders. To her chagrin she begins to
fall in love with the prime suspect. 'Compromised' by Gayle Callen. In 1589 London, Lady
Elizabeth meets John in a party. They are caught in an
uncompromising position in the nearby garden and forced to
wed. Stunned that she finds this country bumpkin
attractive, Elizabeth wonders if he loves her too? "Treading Dangerous Waters' by Victoria Marquez. Sofita
wants Aunt Lucita to wed Daniel, but his son James opposes
the marriage. Sofita plans to distract James with her
feminine wiles so the older couple can marry in peace and
harmony. However, she never expected to want to join her
aunt in holy matrimony with the sexy James as her lifetime
lover. The four tales are quite different occurring in radically
diverse settings. Yet each contains a sexy hunk, a
gorgeous female protagonist, tons of torrid passion, and
entertaining plots that are well written. HOT AND BOTHERED
lives up to its title as each contribution seduces the
reader. Harriet Klausner
