I really enjoyed these three sexy, cute and sweet Valentine stories by authors Codi Gary, Cheryl Harper and Jaclyn Hatcher. I simply adored the heroes and each woman who captured their hearts was one lucky woman. I liked the humor within the storytelling and I couldn't help but smile and chuckle as I was reading,The Trouble With Sexy by Codi Gary introduced us to Ryan and Gregg and I loved this coupling. Ryan hates Valentine's Day but her sexy makeover has caught Gregg's attention as well as Chase, the new tenant next door to their studio. The author did a good job developing a history between Ryan and Gregg though yet to be explored until now. Ryan assumed Gregg likes Gracie who works at the local coffee shop but does he? Could he be harboring some secret crush that she's not aware of? I liked how comfortable they were with each other and the transition from friends to lovers was seemless. I loved the scenes leading up to their happy ending, I could not stop laughing because these two were so much fun to watch in action. The author also created secondary characters in this story that I'm looking forward to reading more about in future books.Love Me Tender by Cheryl Harper gave us Luke and Julia who are an unlikely pairing. I loved Luke in this story and he's got to be the most patient man. I have to admit, I'm not sure why he liked Julia because she really had a "don't get close" attitude right from the start and was not good with communication. They ended up being stranded together in Vegas on their way home from a business trip and we were introduced to the Rock n Rolla Hotel and horrible Elvis impersonator. LOL! Little by little, Julia began to open up to Luke about her relationship with her father. Her reasons for her "dating" attitude became clearer and you could sense her pain. I enjoyed their journey together and I'm looking forward to more romantic adventures in Vegas.Love, Guns and Heart-Shaped Chocolates by Jaclyn Hatcher gave me such an adrenaline rush as the story had romance and action all at once. Katie and Logan were at the wrong place at the wrong time on Valentine's Day and had bad guys chasing them. Poor Katie just got dumped before Valentine's Day and all she wanted to do was wallow in her misery with a box of chocolate and wine. What she got was an adventure she'll never forget that included evading the bad guys who wanted some stolen money and sexy kisses from Logan, her best friend's brother. Mixed in with that was the date from hell that her best friend had to endure. I adored both Logan and Katie who looked out for each other when things looked bad and they had great chemistry together. This was a fun and action filled story which I thoroughly enjoyed.I would definitely read more stories by these three brand new authors.
