When her date is killed and she targeted he saves her and brings her to his cabin for safety. There they discover their love for each other, stop the killer, break with her family, almost die and leave to start their life together.

Coaching the Sub by Debbie White: 4 stars 5/28
This was not what I expected. The sub was actually a substitute teacher. She and the coach work together to deal with some trouble makers. Looking a little deeper they find there are some underlying reasons for the teen's actions. This was a great story line. The resolution seemed to be coming a bit fast. A couple of snags make it more realistic.
There were a few too many descriptions and step by step details for my taste while some readers may like that. One of the issues seemed a bit out of place although it was a common issue. The steam builds slowly, realistic for this couple. Overall a good story and a nice romance. A real feel-good-when-you're-finished story. Well worth the read.
Bound by Temptation by Trish McCallan 4 stars 5/29
Three nights of bliss followed by three months of misery. Emma had spent those three nights in the arms of her neighbor, Lucas. Then he'd just shut her out. No, “This just isn't going to work.” Not even a “Goodbye.” He wouldn't answer his phone but she got the message. She had no plans to ever see him again. Until, a home invasion prompted the investigating officer to let Lucas, his former SEAL buddy, know he didn't like the situation but couldn't do anything in his position except recommend she get a security system which she couldn't afford or a dog. You'll love her choice.
When Lucas showed up, she was not going to allow him to do anything for her. That is until she was grabbed in front of her house. He manages to stop them, however, Emma doesn't escape unscathed. She needs protection. He needs to be the one to do the protecting. Forced together their feelings reignite. Will they be able to overcome the fear that kept them apart? Will she escape the danger that still pursues her?
This was a good SEAL intrigue/romance. The conflict was pretty common, however, the characters were good and the one with fur is special. The steam would fog up a band of mirrors. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
Come Hell or High Water by Nancy Segovia: 4stars
Maisy vowed never to be with another man “Come Hell Or High Water”, she'd finally escaped an abusive marriage and wanted to make a life for herself. Through all the bad times she had one constant, her cat, Daisy. Several years later, when the high water brought the hell of a hurricane she couldn't abandon Daisy and no one would take her. She decided to try to wait it out. Not so smart.
Dwight, her first responder, found her and Daisy. That was a major accomplishment. He couldn't understand her combative attitude. After delivering the smart-mouthed, bitchy woman to the shelter, he didn't like the situation. He did like the way she looked even freezing and soaking wet.
This is a short one and the instant love may be hard for some readers. I'm a romantic and enjoyed it in this short read. It's perfect if you only have a little time to read and love romance.
Falling For Captain Hunk by Stephanie Queens: 4 stars 5/29
Captain Hunk, or Cap to his friends, hadn't expected the big league bad guys on his island, nor did expect Tony. She was one gorgeous cop undercover to help capture the men who'd killed her cop fiance six months earlier. Cap knew he needed to ignore the attraction, she was not just gorgeous but had a sense of humor and just might feel a pull as well.
Tony was attracted and felt more than she had in a long time. Still, there was the no cops rule and he had some rule as well. No way would they mess this case up by getting personal. Sure they wouldn't.
Could they fight it or find it together? The assignment was dangerous. One they might come through, not both or either of them. He worried she wouldn't want to take a chance with another cop. She had secrets he needed to learn. Another hunk and this time a breathtaking female to the rescue. Just who rescues who?
Don't miss this deal of hunky rescuers.

Hunks to the Rescue: 18 Hot Contemporary Romance Novellas is an anthology box set of stand-alone, short stories. You have everything from sexy OB/GYN doctor to high school coach, each story is a different. Each novella involves a quick story line with some suspense and action, but at the end, there is always a happy ending. As all the stories were interesting in each of their own way, a few of them stood out to me the most.

The first story within the anthology is Fire and Ice by Constance Phillip Hunks to the Rescue: 18 Hot Contemporary Romance Novellas is an anthology box set of stand-alone, short stories. You have everything from sexy OB/GYN doctor to high school coach, each story is a different. Each novella involves a quick story line with some suspense and action, but at the end, there is always a happy ending. As all the stories were interesting in each of their own way, a few of them stood out to me the most.

The first story within the anthology is Fire and Ice by Constance Phillips is a second-chance romance between Charlene and Brian, who both dated for a short period while in high school. A rumor caused Charlene to break up with Brian and move away to college and pursue her career in Physical Therapy. After several years pass, the death of her father brings her back to be with her mother. In transition of a new job, she is placed to treat Brian, her old high school flame, that was injured while working a fire. Will Brian be able to open his heart to Charlene after she broke in high school? I enjoyed this story since it was a second-chance romance. I always like reading about couples that were torn apart by jealousy to then find themselves together again, stronger than before.

I also enjoyed Two More Miles by Jan Romes, the love story between Ava and Dr. Keith Miles. Their first meeting took a rocky start after he rudely asked Ava to get off the treadmill he runs in every morning. Ava took a defending stand let him know that he doesn’t own the treadmill and continues to run until she blacks out and Dr. Miles is there to rescue her. They instantly have a connection and their relationship builds quickly until Dr. Miles sees Ava with someone else. Will Ava be able to prove to Keith that what he saw was not what he thought? This story was very quick paced and the ending will surprise you.

Another story that I truly enjoyed was Coaching the Sub by Debbie White. What a cute story! This novella is about Shannon, a substitute teacher at her old high school and Coach Brock Andrews. While her first day as a substitute for Home Economics, she is greeted by three students that disrupt her classroom and she is forced to throw them out of her class. In comes Coach Andrews, who knows the three students and how they have been disruptive in school. These two build an instant connection trying to help the three disruptive students back to their old environments in sports and debate and to be able to graduate. While working together, Ava and Brock fall in love quickly.

Dark Current by Lynda Haviland is the novella about Ben and Willow. Willow’s boat marina is dire need of help after a storm sweeps through and causes havoc. Ben, a drifter on his boat, hears about the storm warning decides to stop to let the storm blow through. Will Ben be able to help Willow with the marina before it is too late?

Saving Necessity by Margo Bond Collins is the novella about Zeke MacAllan and Sophie Daniels. Zeke is a farm hand in a town in Texas when he meets Sophie, a Hollywood celebrity. Zeke rescues Sophie from a fire and takes her away before the tabloid get a whiff of where she may be. The instant attraction between Zeke and Sophie is hot and things get steamy when he brings her back to the farm.

As all eighteen stories were all good in their own way, the five novellas above were the ones that stood out to me the most. If you are into hunks in uniform or simple everyday type of guys, this anthology is for you.

I am really beginning to like reading anthologies. A while ago I thought anthologies were short stories meant to tease but now I know that when I read an anthology, I get a taste of new to me authors. While some stories in any anthology may be short quick stories, some are actually full length novels. A bonus for buying and reading anthologies is that usually the money I spend on the “books” goes to help out a good cause.

A bonus for buying and reading anthologies is that usually the money I spend on the “books” goes to help out a good cause. There are times when the anthology is just for the fun and love of reading and writing, as is the case with Hunks to the Rescue!

The first story I read was Destiny’s Secret by Raine English. This was a great story. While it was a quick read there were enough details about the characters and situation that I immediately liked them. After reading this story, ghosts just might be real…if your mind is open enough…

Dark Current by Lynda Haviland is A Hidden Coast romance novella. It is set in a place called Pearl Key, Florida, after a hurricane has come through the area. Ben is a travelling handy man. Willow is a marina owner in need of some help. These two help each other in the sweetest of ways. Just enough mystery in this novella to make me want to read more from Lynda Haviland.

That Unexpected Kiss by Tamera Ferguson. I have to say that Ms. Ferguson is not a new to me author and boy do I love her stories from Dragonfly Pointe and the people who live there. This story is not a novella but it is a standalone. There are some references to others which makes me want to go back and re-read Ferguson’s other books. Dylan and Julie seem destined for each other but they hesitate to be together.

Coaching the Sub by Debbie White is a story about Shannon, the substitute teacher and Brock, the coach. It’s a heart-warming read that other teachers can relate to. Some kids need an extra helping hand when it comes to education and luckily enough those kids in this story have the sub and the coach looking out for them. Coaching the Sub shows that every person truly needs someone to believe in them.

An Unexpected Twist by Krista Ames has a sweet looking cover and as the name suggests there’s a twist! When Kelsey decides she needs a change, she ends up a long way from home and in the arms of a stranger. Boone is that stranger and he uses his arms to save people and animals every day since he is a forest fire fighter. This was a sexy sweet story. Love at first sight kind of hot.

I highly recommend this anthology. This anthology has new to me authors as well as new to me heroes and heroines! I am looking forward to reading more from all of the authors mentioned in this review and even those not mentioned.

Kessler, Katie O’Sullivan, Stephanie Queen, Constance Phillips, Jan Romes, Nancy Segovia, Debbie White, and Wilder Quinn. It is a great collection of novels and novellas.

Kessler, Katie O’Sullivan, Stephanie Queen, Constance Phillips, Jan Romes, Nancy Segovia, Debbie White, and Wilder Quinn. It is a great collection of novels and novellas.

There wasn’t a single novel or novella that I didn’t enjoy! However, Saving Necessity by Margo Bond Collins was my absolute favorite story in the collection. Sophie Daniels is a movie star on location in a small town in Texas. After a fire changes things, Zeke grabs Sophie and hides her away from the photographers. She feels safe with Zeke, even though she just met him. The two have a connection that they can’t explain.

Another one, Two More Miles by Jan Romes, was another one of my favorites. Life changes forever for Ava and Dr. Keith Miles with a treadmill. After fighting over a treadmill, Ava faints and Keith helps her. Their attraction and chemistry is there right from the start, however, there are many obstacles in their way. I loved Ava’s spunky temperament, as well as Keith’s personality. The two deserve each other, even if they are too stubborn to realize it!

Like I said, each story was wonderful and I had trouble picking favorites. Unreachable Heart by Aileen Harkwood was another one that I really enjoyed. In it, Jacie DeBello finds herself in trouble. In a small plane with her two very-overweight bosses, an accident is inevitable as they go over the mountains while a storm approaches. The plane just can’t handle all of the weight. Hart, as he is called, is needed for a mountain rescue. They find the two brothers and everyone assumes the search is over. However, Hart just has a feeling that someone else is out there. When the rescue plane won’t fit everyone, he volunteers to stay back, knowing that he will keep
looking. When he finds Jacie, their lives will forever be changed.

Come Hell or High Water by Nancy Segovia tells the story of a young woman who is unable to leave her home during a flood because she couldn’t leave her cat. After staying in the attic, she has to climb onto the roof and wait to be rescued. Imagine her surprise when a hunk rescues her and, even though she is worried about her cat, she also can’t stop thinking about the man who helped her in the
storm!

Dark Current by Lynda Haviland finds Ben Kane reaching another pier. He goes pier to pier helping to clean up storm damage. However, he didn’t think he would find himself in front of a marina owner named Willow, who captured his thoughts and dreams. She needs him as much as he needs her, both for the marina as well as in life in general.

I highly recommend this collection of novels and novellas. I enjoyed every single story and couldn’t put it down. For only a few dollars, you will have a lot of remarkable reads that will make you want to wish that you could be rescued. You will read this collection even faster than you thought possible because it is that hard to put down!

Wow. Each and every story was definitely about hunks and about rescuing of some kind. Truly loved reading all of these. May have to read them again. Wish they had been longer.
Saving Necessity – by Margo Bond Collins
This was so sweet and I am always a sucker for a story about a cowboy. There is just almost no way you can mess up a hot cowboy story. This one was about a sexy ranch hand named, Zeke MacAllen, even his name is sexy. He works hard and is not too happy about a movie star coming to town Wow.

Saving Necessity – by Margo Bond Collins
This was so sweet and I am always a sucker for a story about a cowboy. There is just almost no way you can mess up a hot cowboy story. This one was about a sexy ranch hand named, Zeke MacAllen, even his name is sexy. He works hard and is not too happy about a movie star coming to town and taking away from the normalcy of the town but when he sees the sexy, Sophie Daniels he knows she needs saving of some kind and he thinks he is the man for the job.
Unwrapping Treasure – by Jody A. Kessler
This was another one of my favorites about two paramedics that were close friends since they spent so much time together and when there were no emergencies they had a lot of time to talk and learned a lot about each other. I simply could not get enough of this one and the way that they each cared about their patients just melted my heart. They were so sincere and were not just there to draw a paycheck. They truly cared about the people that they took care of.
Coaching the Sub – by Debbie White
This was a great one for me too because it was about teaching and since I am a teacher it was close to home for me. Shannon was subbing at a new school and was trying hard to get the students to like her and Coach “Brock” Andrews was always there to come to the rescue for Shannon and do exactly what needed to be done to help with the kids. I loved how sweet each of the characters were and how deeply they cared about what happened with all of the kids and what lengths they would go in order to help each of the students succeed.
Falling for Captain Hunk – by Stephanie Queen
Loved this one too. Captain Hunk was known as, Cap to his friends and everyone in town knew who he was. He was also known as the last HOT eligible bachelor and he planned on keeping that status. Cap does not date others on the police force and doesn’t break that rule. Tony is the niece of a restaurant owner and she is pretty hot. She meets this handsome hunk, Cap and decides to help him with his investigation because she is also a detective too but that was in her past. Together they are a hot team.
Breaking the Rules - by Katie O’Sullivan
Another great one. Abbie Duncan is a chef and Jake Campbell works undercover. Abbie gets to work with this hot guy each day and can’t believe her luck. Abbie has rules and she doesn’t want to break them for this hottie, Jake. Jake is trying to do his job but it seems to be getting kind of hard to trust anyone.

Saving Necessity by, Margo Bond Collins

This is a quirky but swoon worthy Cinderella story in reverse with a Movie Starlet and Cowboy kind of twist.
The tiny town of Necessity is where the movie, “Ten-Gallon Texas" starring Sophie Daniels is being filmed.. Cowboy Zeke MacAllan is there to catch a glimpse of his favorite actress... but it becomes way more than that after he rescues her from a fire on the set.
This is a short but truly enjoyable read.

In Hunks to the Rescue, there's 18 hotties, so pretty much, everyone will want at least one, or if they're like me, all of them. And even though I can NEVER EVER get enough hunks, (and probably never will), the fact is that I haven't read the majority of these authors, so I have a ton of new authors with talented writing styles that I was lucky enough to get the chance to discover, which is even better, if that's possible. Yes, this review sounds like a love letter, but seriously, I read all of ...more

I loved these short stories that all contained hot helpful hunks and the women who fall for them, some hard. Each of these 18 stories was about another couple who went on a quest of self discovery to find themselves and each other. Since they are all novellas you can read a few at a time or one quickly, although you will find it hard to put down after one. Highly recommend this set of short stories if you want some hot hunks and mind blowing sex.

I voluntarily read this advanced readers copy of this book. I just loved it. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. Strong characters and great story lines for all the books. Each one is very unique in its own way. You have fifteen stories about fifteen alpha rescuers. Many different types of alpha men to drool over. You won't be disappointed in venturing in this collection.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book of novellas which lives up to its name of Hunks to the Rescue. The gents in these stories will keep your attention and libido on peak. One of my favorites was Breaking the Rules by Katie O’Sullivan. I liked the writing style. There were interesting turns of phrase that built both the character and the tone of the story. Jake, the hero—an undercover cop—is quite the hunk coupled with a spunky heroine. I found O’Sullivan’s setting in detail in the restaurant trade re ...more
