Out of Control, Nina Croft.Review from jeannie zelos book reviewsSo, I’ve enjoyed several of Nina's paranormal novels and thought this contemporary romance sounded fun. It was :)Dani is on leave after an injury while fighting in Afghanistan. She's taking a light job in security in Spain taking charge of the dogs, as writer Zach has had death threats.She and Zach get off to a bad start when the senior bodyguard is taking her to be introduced...Zach is in the pool, naked, along with a lithe blonde. Dani's read about his playboy ways and this just enforces her view of him as a playboy ar sehole...Zach sees her and feels an odd sensation that he needs to protect her. That's not him, he's Mr friendly, Mr no commitment, and the ladies all know that – he's friends with many of his ex-es and the blonde is his accountant, along for a ride ;-) She knows its going nowhere, just a fun fling.Somehow Dani and Zach end up getting closer, after having several vocal spats where she thinks he's belittling her because of her sex and size, ( she's tiny) and in fact for him its just this odd feeling he has about her that wants her kept out of any danger. He gives in one day to the building attraction between them, and kisses her and from there they get closer, and closer. Dani thinks he's a good way to get the Virginity problem out of the way, knows he's not up for long term and that suits her fine. She wants to re enlist once she's fit enough. The Army is her family, its all she knows, having had a troubled childhood she feels she fits there and has no where else to go. Zach finds that though they planned to keep it light, his feelings are getting deeper and he's falling in love, then just as Dani is giving in to her feelings too and thinking maybe they could work out somehow, he does something that throws everything awry. She's devastated and...drama all round.Its a fun read, not deep and dramatic but pretty light and fluffy, with some great humour, lots of hot sex and enough action to keep it interesting. It's priced at 2.84 for 197 pages and a fun read.Stars: Four.ARC provided via Netgalley.
