Book 1 "Heroes of Silver Springs". Followed byTwin Games.Plot:Veronica has returned to Silver Springs to begin living her life her way. And what she wants is a taste of Dean. Only Dean isn't the Bad Boy she remembers, and when she finally realises what he's looking for, it's too late to back off from the HEA. This one's A Keeper.Comments:- Contemporary Firefighter SmallTown erotic romance.- 2807 kindle locations, 41,000 words- m/f - explicit, varied. Includes near-exhibition (in not-quite-private locations). Some pain with the pleasure (heading towards too forceful for the situation).- Veronica is a widow; her husband was a cop who died in the line of duty. She's also always been The Rich Girl and off-limits to someone like Dean. Now she's looking to sow those oats she had to keep hidden. Dean, however, wants a girl he can make a forever with.- My e-version had a number of proofreading issues. Enough to detract from the story, and wish the author had given just a little more attention to details.Opinion:One aggressive woman, one wary male - she wants a f**buddy, he wants a HEA. It's an interesting, different read, but in the end there just really isn't anything *special* about it. It's a nice enough read, and an interesting start to a series, but nothing overly remarkable. On the plus side, Dean being a firefighter is integral to the story. Unlike many books of the genre who claim "Real Heroes" as their Leading Man, the firefighting aspects actually *matter* and Dean really is a Hero. That's nice. But it isn't one I'd put at the top of my recommendation list. It's just okay.3.5 stars rounded down. It just doesn't have the "wow" factor.-CR-
