There is nothing better than getting a book by an author whose work I enjoy reading and the book is free (pssssst it's still free until Dec 15 - download it now!).Holiday bound by Beth Kery is exactly what you would expect from her. Don't know what to expect? Well this is not your Mother's romance. Holiday Bound is a short, sexy, sizzling erotic story. This book should have come with a disclaimer. I'm surprised my Itouch didn't instantaneously combust as I was thumbing through the pages. Yowza I was feeling all hot and bothered and it wasn't just because I was working out! I could've used a fan and a tall cool drink of water (ok I did have that close at hand) while reading this E-gniting, erotic E-read.It's Christmas. They're snowbound...no electricity...no way out...no help on the way and only each other to warm the long cold night ahead. Is this a recipe for disaster or a wild fire about to burn out of control? Dear Santa: if you're planning on coming down their chimney - you better watch your boots don't catch on fire.Alex Carradine left the big city and his life as a mover and a shaker in Chicago 4 years ago when he decided to chuck it all and retreat to Holiday Valley to run a ski resort. Alex is sceptical and with good reason when his estranged father Mitch wants to visit for the holidays and bring his latest and greatest main squeeze along for the ride. Maybe hell has frozen over, but Alex is willing to give Daddy Dearest the benefit of the doubt and what better time to try and rebuild their relationship than Christmas....a time for giving.Of all the dumb luck! Alex can't believe the woman he's just rescued from the stranded SUV on his property is Angeline Kastakis...this is his Dad's new girlfriend? Angeline...the woman he fantasized about 4 years ago and hasn't been able to forget? And where is Mitch? What is his father up to now? Is Father Christmas playing a cruel joke on Alex by tempting him and his willpower with Angeline Kastakis? And to top it off...now they're home alone for the holidays.Angeline is conflicted about her feelings for the intense and gorgeous Alex - son of the man she's in a relationship with. She agreed to this little get-away with Mitch so they could explore their relationship and hopefully take it to the next level. But Alex is a force to be reckoned with when he's in full out attack mode...and he's got his sights on Angeline. I might have had a momentary twinge about how easily Angeline caved to Alex's aggressive approach considering she was supposed to be dating his father, but I got over it quickly. Alex is a take charge kinda guy.There is lots of steamy, smexy action including interestingly enough an explicit encounter involving some gym equipment...mmmm...I may never look at that equipment the same way again. It also probably explains why I was breathing a little extra hard.Want to add a little Christmas present to your E-reader? Download Holiday Bound, sit back and enjoy.
