Stranded In Paradise
Two volatile people, two different lives—too hot to handle?
Dax Winslow never believed in love at first sight...that was before he met Kendall Zurich. While en route to the most important meeting of his legal career, Dax’s car breaks down in the small town of Milton Ville and he finds himself face to face with the owner of Kenny’s Service Station. The stunning mechanic knocks his otherwise structured psyche off balance.
Kendall Zurich is content with her laidback life. Too bad Dax’s arrival disrupts her quiet existence and turns it completely upside down. She can only hope the dashing counselor doesn’t uncover her secret...and if he does, the deception isn’t too big for forgiveness.
Emotions of the past can provoke a burning struggle. Will very separate lives, misunderstandings, and outright lies be enough to keep them apart? Or has each finally found the spark that could ignite a lifetime?

This story was originally published 2 years ago by another publisher. I don't know if the author has revised this story or not but I doubt it considering how simple the story is and its length.
This is a straightforward erotic romance about a lawyer who takes stock of his rat-race unhappy existence when he meets a female mechanic in "butt-f**k nowhere" as they often call it in the book.
Readers who are expecting a filthy raunchy read along the author's A Delicious Taboo might be disappointed but there is still plenty of sex including outdoor sex and sex in a limo.

Nice short story. First time read for Jennifer Cole. The beginning was VERY rough and the writing was definitely amateurish. This is a "love at first sight" story, so if you generally dislike the premise, DEFINITELY avoid this one because it's not handled smoothly believeably with such (what appears to be) a "green" author at this stage and a rushed short story format. That said ... I ended up enjoying how the author was able to develop her writing skills by book end. Her tension, love scenes, emotion and story arch worked by the time I got to the end of the book. I do have to comment that I pretty much HATED the hero at the beginning (when he encounters the heroine's uncle in the gas station ... he sounded like a pompous ass!), but by mid-story when he was explaining his life situation and how he was loving the country lifestyle and hating how he was living in such a rat race, it seemed to explain my first impression of his behavior. Definitely needed a sense of that. Additionally, Cole should drop the constant "my baby" and "baby" in (what feels like) every phrase the hero utters to the heroine. (AARG!) Don't get me wrong ... I love a COUPLE (as in 2!) "baby" affectionatly added terms here or there! But she was out of control with them to the point that I wanted to barf if he said it again! LOL! That said, I did feel Dax and Kendal's passion and could believe they had a love-at-first-sight-Ahh-Hah moment. That's saying a lot, and it compelled me forward in reading their story.
Again, the story seems rushed, and love at first sight is always a hard pill to swallow, but I didn't go away with a feeling like this little e-book was "time wasted." She hit all the high points of "romance," for me, and her sex scene in the limo was VERY well done (a real fantasy ride! ;)

Too short, focused on lust/love at first sight. Author's style needs improvement. Some scenes were well done.
