Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 04 1, 2012
Book 3 "Holding out for a Hero" series.Plot:Kate reckoned Todd was just "a one-ride ticket" - not interested in long-term commitment but perfectly good for her first. Is there any chance he'll change his stripes, or does Kate need to look elsewhere for a reasonably-happey ever after?Comments:- Contemporary erotic romance novella.- 2061 kindle locations, 31,095 words. Finishes around 1754 locations.- m/f - explicit, reasonably frequent.- "Flash Point" is Book3 of the trilogy. Characters from previous books play roles in this one. As well as that, Kate and Todd's story has been a running counterpoint in previous books; We know Kate lusts after Todd, Todd cares about her as a friend, but that's about it. At the end of "Command and Control" we learn Kate seems to have some sort of stalker attacking her business.- Includes excerpts fromCommand and Controlby Shelli Stevens,Creative Licenseby Lynne Roberts, andJust Like Thatby Erin Nicholas.Opinion ***SPOILERS***:Okay, after "Command and Control", this one is a disappointment. I don't like Todd. He's a Player who plays with Kate. Kate has yearned for him for years, and finally releases her Inner Vixen to seduce him. But because he was hurt 10 years ago, he won't allow himself to accept a relationship, or let love in. And he hurts Kate. More than once. It's hard to read, especially after the yearning love on Trevor&Megan.; And I wasn't convinced on the HEA. Is she really better off staying with him? Or should she broaden her horizons? An interesting little story, and a curious addition to the series.3.5 stars, rounded down. I'm not sure I want Kate to stay.Holding out for a Hero:Book 1Going Down- Sheriff Tyson and EllieBook 2Command and Control- ArmyGuy Trevor and MeganBook 3Flash Point- Fireman Todd and KateBook 4Love Me Knot- Coast Guard Ryan and Ciara (short story extra).-CR-
