Looking to add a little sizzle to your holiday weekend? Cheris Hodges and Lisa Marie Perry are here to provide it. The authors have collaborated to bring us two stories under one cover. First up is Hodges' steamy, international romance, Make You Mine Again; then Perry brings the heat in international waters with the interracial romance, Unraveled.Synopsis:
Make You Mine Again by Cheris Hodges
Supermodel Jansen Douglas is living her dream. Now a wedding in Paris is about to reunite her with the high school sweetheart she left behind. But Atlanta CEO Bradley Stephens won't let their stormy past stand in the way of reclaiming his first and only love.
Unraveled by Lisa Marie Perry
Ona Tracy's plans to seduce her high school crush unravel when the reunion trip she books turns out to be an erotic-themed cruise to the Bahamas! Rather than abandon ship, she recruits blond-haired, silver-eyed Riker Ewan to be her hookup, unaware that the hot-bodied ex-Marine isn't who he seems to be…
Review: Cheris Hodges' tale of old flames trying not to rekindle a love that's been smoldering since they separated is quite enjoyable. Because she's dealing with characters living the lives of the rich and famous, money is no object for this writer's characters. As readers follow Jansen from the U.S. to Paris and on to the Caribbean on her quest to escape the inevitable reunion with her ex, we can't help but to cheer for Bradley going after the woman he loves and wants.
Ona Tracy is a mess and Lisa Marie Perry knows it. She reminds me of the over the top theater kids from high school that are determined to make it big. Falling extremely short of that goal, Ona is out to prove to her friends (and I use that term loosely) that she's not the failure that she appears to be. Ona's romance with a stranger on board her cruise is a welcome distraction from her mean classmates. The twists and turns with Riker's story line are interesting.
While Jansen and Bradley's story is more believable to me, because of their history, it's still difficult for me to fathom Ona and Riker falling so hard for each other in less than a week. However, I suppose that that's what romance novels are all about, right? Hoping and believing in the impossible.
