Review: A one night stand can lead to a HEA
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 05 20, 2011
Book 3 in "Red Hot & Blue" series. Preceded byJack. There is a free short story, "Under the Covers" that technically follows "Jimmy". The next book (4 or 5 depending on how you count them) available on Amazon isJared.Plot:Neither Jimmy nor Lia have ever forgotten the one night stand 6 months ago. When they unexpectedly meet at the horse ranch, sparks fly. Can they give a relationship a chance?Comments:- A novella (1564 kindle locations).- Jimmy is Jack's brother and the Special Forces officer they saved in "Trey".  Other members of the Task Force re-appear in this book, as well as some of the horse ranch characters.- "Trey" was set in a military scenario, "Jack" had more of a cowboy flavour. "Jimmy" reads as a contemporary romance.- "Jimmy" picks up a few days after "Jack", while Jack remains on furlough and Jimmy is healing. It does have a prologue of events just before Jimmy went undercover.- Again, this book would standalone. That said, with characters from the previous book re-appearing without much explanation of their role in the task force, reading the other books in order would be of help in keeping the names straight, as well as some of Jimmy's backstory. But it isn't necessary and I think you'd still enjoy the book.- Sex is m/f, explicit and lusty.- Product says it has been previously published and has been revised for this edition. The original story is fromTrilogy No. 103: Red Hot & Blue.- "Under the Covers" is a free book/short story (go to author's website). It follows the story of BB Dalton from Task Force Zeta and fits between Johnson's books "Jimmy" and "Jared".Opinion:Another great book in the series. And different again. "Jimmy" is pure relationship; there are no Bad Guys to fight, mysteries to solve. It's simply about two people from different walks of life finding their HEA. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
