Book 1 "Holding Out for a Hero". Book 2Command and Control.First three books available in paperback:Holding Out for a Hero.Plot:Ellie is trying to hide in Wyattville, but Sheriff Tyson has found her, and intends to find out all her secrets, and keep her in his bed for ever and ever.Comments:- Contemporary SmallTown Family erotic romance.- 3179 kindle locations, 31,465 words (finishes around 2850 locations).- m/f - frequent, explicit, forceful, varied. Alpha and aggressive/dominant, but she's with him all the way.- Ellie is a survivor of domestic abuse. While we never get into the specifics, it is the reason she is in Wyattville. It does not affect her relationship with Tyson though.- WARNING: While Book 2 picks up Trevor and Megan's story, it slides into the world of bdsm.- Includes excerpts fromAlaskan Heatby Pam Champagne,Position Securedby Olivia Brynn andThe Midnight Effectby Pamela Fryer.Opinion:The "Holding Out for a Hero" series is in somewhat the same vein as Lauren Dane's Chase Brothers series, but, oh, so much Dirtier. A family of heroic brothers and the women they woo and Love. The men are very Dominant Alpha, slipping into bdsm in Book2, and the women have a strength of character, and a willingness to let go. That said, given what Ellie has gone through, given the reasons she's in Wyattville, and given her obvious fears of the police, she gets into a hot'n'heavy relationship with Tyson *very* fast, and goes for the Gold Ring HEA in a heartbeat. Not sure I really believe."Going Down" is a very enjoyable, very sexy, somewhat romantic story, with a story that requires you to suspend disbelief, and a man willing to protect His Woman at all costs. It's nice, but rapid. While not a "shortie", the plot arc is more superficial than I really wanted, given the interesting suspense story Stevens was weaving. But it's still A Nice Read, and worth giving a go for an easy afternoon on the beach.-CR-
