Review: Sexiness Starts At Page One

I was a bit apprehensive prior to starting this story.  As a general rule: I do not like my romance mixed with children, pregnant heroine, or newborns. This is my rule.  Typically the romance tends to be overshadowed by the children, impending birth, or life with a newborn (too real life for me).  I am happy to state the author did not fall into this trap.  Yes, the baby is a part of the story but more secondary to the plot than the main focus-just the way I like it.  The author does a great job of balancing all facets (the romance, the baby, and the suspense) of the story.You did not have to wait long for Kell and Charlotte to meet. I fell for them at Chapter 1. Their attraction to one another is so palpable that it nearly leaps off the pages.  I liked that Kell always had feelings for Charlotte and did not shy away from them when he found out about his son. If anything, he forged full steam ahead.  I also appreciated that Charlotte did not play games with Kell.  She is a strong caring mother but knows and understands that Kell should be given the opportunity to be with his son.  These two have an unusual back story and the author shares this with the reader at the right time in the right way.  This story had all elements that I like in my romance: lost love, smexiness, and suspense.  This was the right book to start off my new year.Katie Reus has found her niche in writing strong heroines.  When I reach for one of her books I am guaranteed two things: strong heroine and a smexy hero.
