Wow. That is a lot of similarities. I can see why you believe that she mirrored a lot of the Sam/Alyssa storyline, Arch.

Congrats to everyone who participated!
You did great, Netanella! I love how creative you ladies are with the challenge!
Way to go, Pepper!
Which hero made the temperature rise for you in July? Why?
Back by request. Which heroes floated your boats in the months of April through June? Tell us why!
Hi Natalie. I haven't posted it for the past few months because it didn't seem like there was much interest. I can go back to posting it!

I will look into. Thanks Sharon.
Agree. I hate love triangles. And a sequel kind of invalidates the ending because Selena realizes she loves Dan, so why is she tempted by another guy?
Hello, fellow DH lovers. I'm looking for more authors like Shannon McKenna. Steamy but not kinky with dangerous, possessive, jealous heroes. No anal or extreme BDSM. Can you recommend any authors?
I pretty much agree with you on all your points, Natalie. I didn't think the romance was a big enough focus. Dan and Selena spent too much time apart or avoiding each other. The action was pretty darn good, and Dan was definitely a bad*ss. I'm going to work on my review and post it soon.
Welcome, Heather!
