When three women go to a "lock and key" party to meet sexy singles, they never expect to find their perfect matches...in love and in bed! Successful attorney Michaela "Mikki" Correlli has worked hard to achieve the perfect life. There isn't much else she could possibly want. When she attends a "lock and key" party, she hopes to have some hot fun, no strings attached. She certainly didn't plan to hook up with her ex-husband. Nolan Baylor will be the first to admit he and Mikki are like oil and water. All that energy and fire, though, made for the best sex he's ever had! She's a strong woman and hard to handle, but Nolan has a second chance now--thanks to a screwup with the divorce--and this time he's not letting her go....
Ever since I heard my first fairy tale, I've always believed in happily-ever-after and the power of love. In my opinion, there's nothing quite as heart-warming as the happy ending for a hero and heroine who overcome the odds. Sometimes love isn't easy, but then anything in life that is, well, it just isn't much fun, now is it?
Looking for challenges in my life has been part of that fun, too. I embraced my first challenge at the age of sixteen when I married my high school sweetheart. A whole lot of years later, I still fondly recall the first time I saw my own personal hero and knew, even at that tender age, that he was the one for me. With a history like that, what else could I write except Romances?
When I'm not working on my latest novel, I enjoy relaxing with a cross-stitch project or debating the pros and cons of a redecorating project. I'm also a big movie fan, especially romantic comedies. Oh, and we can't forget about the joys of gardening. If I'm not playing in the dirt or haven't escaped with my own personal hero to the movie theater, I can usually be found in the house, somewhere warm, curled up with a romance novel in my hands.
A few years ago, my family and I exchanged the sun and sand of my native Southern California for the clear blue skies and wide open spaces of the North Dakota prairie. Oh, did I mention the snow we got in the bargain, too? A whole lot of it?
The plot: Mikki and Nolan were divorced several years ago. Make that, they thought they were divorced. Then Nolan finds out that the divorce is invalid. Since he never wanted the divorce, he decides this is the perfect opportunity to get back into Mikki's life.
I loved this story. Nolan and Mikki's chemistry is immediately evident, as is the fact that they still have feelings for each other. However, Mikki has kept a few secrets from Nolan that make a reconciliation challenging. I liked both characters and got caught up in the story. It deals with some interesting issues as well--it's more a serious than lighthearted Blaze, which is exactly what I needed. Sometimes I enjoy reading good angst.
