Though steamy love scenes are not my usual style, I found they were handled quite well by this author. What I enjoyed most were the everyday problems and lives of the characters.In the first story a grieving widow, Zoe, struggles with what is proper. Nathan, her husband's cousin, comes alongside to help her with her loss. Slowly a friendship grows, but Zoe keeps him at a distance. Nathan is a warm, guarded, intelligent man. The strong and silent type. Zoe is a caring parent who is overwhelmed with raising her son and trying to move forward with her life. The ending comes at just the right time, with just the right twist.The second story was my favorite. Ander is a male escort and Lori has a problem she hires him to solve. Many interesting questions are raised about their relationship and I found myself immersed in the story, not wanting to stop until I saw how this unusual situation was going to resolve itself. Warning, a lot of fogged window sex goes on in this story!Lastly, the third story introduced us to an insecure father, Nathan, who due to his high profile and single parent status, dates only once every three months. Enter Lynn, who is a confident woman who agrees to this no-strings relationship simply because the sex is good. What happens next takes them both by surprise.This author has a way of developing strong characters with everyday flaws, making them realistic and easy to relate to. Nice to have the stories shorter so that you can fit one each night to fill in the entertainment gaps of your evening. If you like soft erotica, unusual stories and interesting couples, this is the book for you!
