Sexy, fun and hard to put down!  I enjoyed this follow up in the Naked Men series even more than the first one!  Can’t wait to see Logan come into the picture in Book 3!

Madison Abbott strikes out on her own to leave her home in Alaska and relocate to Washington, D.C. for several reasons … she’s wanting to meet the long lost brother she didn’t know she had, she has been given her dream library job, and she wants a better selection to work with in finding her future husband.  When she runs across Knox right off the bat, she’s not sure what to think!

Knox Davies is an all around ladies man.  He’s smart, successful and likes to enjoy it!  He likes fancy things, and isn’t about to limit himself to just one woman when there is such an array out there for the taking!

Instant attraction leads to a first date … genuine fondness for each other leads to more.  Madison winds up setting her mind on making Knox fall in love with her at the same time that he’s telling her he’s only in it for the short haul.  When he finds out that the brother she came looking for is his best friend Logan, he’s in an even bigger conundrum!

Another fun trek with the guys on the Portland Storm NHL team!  I always enjoy seeing these players and their friends and families interact, but I wasn’t drawn in to the romance nearly as much on this one as usual.  I think a bit of it was that they were slow to act on anything other than flirting, but another part was I was less intrigued with what was going to happen because the plot was something that we’re seeing play out in real life every day these days it seems.  I read to escape, so I don’t necessarily need to see it brought into a book.  It was written well though and brought through some good emotion … and who can’t love spending time with this team? 🙂

It’s all about the playoffs this year for the Portland Storm, and they are so close they can taste it!  Nate Golston has worked hard to improve his game and is enjoying the run more than he can say! When fans from an opposing team start stirring up ugliness and trouble, he fights hard to keep the hurt in his heart from screwing up his game play and making him lose his focus on ending this season right!

For a couple of years now, sports reporter Anne Dennison has had quite a flirtmance going with Nate.  They’ve never taken it further than the flirting, but now that she’s working on producing a behind-the-scenes web series on the Storm, they are spending a lot of time together!  If she acts on her feelings for him, it could cost her the job she’s fought through so much to earn … is it worth it?

A touching story about surviving the unexpected and learning to live again!  I really enjoyed the characters and the plot of this book … highly recommend you read it.  The only thing I wasn’t overly fond of was the going back and forth between the present and the past every other chapter or so for much of the book.

Annie Rush has it all! … or so it seems … a handsome husband, her dream job producing her own TV show in LA and her first baby on the way … and in the blink of an eye it’s gone.  She wakes up in a hospital setting, clueless as to what has happened or why she’s there, unable to talk or move the way she should be able to … and is told that she’s lost a year of her life.  As Annie starts a long road to recovering herself and her life, she learns that time isn’t all that she lost.

She cocoons herself with her family in Switchback, Vermont remembering her life there on the maple tree farm that generations before her had cultivated.  She reconnects with old friends, an old beau, and with the person she used to be and lost on the road to her success.  When she picks back up her passion for cooking and producing, she is faced with new opportunities and a new life on the horizon.  Will she choose to walk away from home again?

A big part of this book is secrets and lies keeping them apart, so the amount of time we have seeing their romance is not as much as we might want.  I enjoyed the story, I just wanted a little more time of them actually enjoying each other.

Iolanthe Petrakis was an innocent, sheltered young lady the night she met and seduced Alekos Demetriou.  She had no clue that the man she was having a night of passion with had a history with her father.  When Alekos finds out that this beauty in his arms is his enemy’s daughter, he sends her away without an explanation.

When Iolanthe discovers she’s pregnant, she attempts to tell Alekos, but he thinks she was all a set up pawn and doesn’t treat her well when she visits him.  She’s scared and doesn’t manage to get out the words that she’s pregnant.

Ten years later when Iolanthe is now alone in the world other than their son, she needs help … Alekos’ help.  To get him to agree to what she needs, she’s going to have to tell him about their son. What she doesn’t expect, is his demand that she marry him right away!
