originally posted at: [...]Under My Umbrella is a novella that contains a ton of heat and a healthy dose of emotional tension. From the moment Jenna and Brett meet on the street on their way home, dodging a heavy downpour of rain, you'll sense their chemistry and attraction. As they take shelter from the storm inside Jenna's apartment, their desires are given free reign. After they share a night together, they both discover there is far more present than lust and physical attraction. Can two people who hardly know one another fall in love at first sight? Is it possible to meet that one special person and realize it in a moment?As with other stories by Ms. Erickson, the heat index should be identified as hot, hot, and hot. Jenna and Brett positively sizzle when they are together and their banter is both playful and sexy. I enjoyed reading about their mutual attraction, especially as their inner thoughts give you a better understanding of their desires and fears. When unavoidable concerns and doubts arise as a consequence of their fast-moving relationship, the progression feels very natural and organic which is something that is essential in a story of this length. I was curious to see how everything would play out and was pleasantly surprised when I learned the answer.Readers who are in the mood for something that sizzles, yet, contains enough heart and emotion to satisfy the romantic within are sure to enjoy Under My Umbrella. Be sure to pencil this one onto your TBR list.
