Contemporary Romantica/BSDM

 

Isabel Ingandello is career woman, with no desires towards having a husband or children.  However her mother and best friend have other plans and set Isabel up on another date.  This date however, turns out worse than the others and Isabel is stranded on a mountain top in the middle of a beautiful winter storm. 

Daniel Fox came to his great-grandfathers cabin to a hide away from the world.  Out hunting with his wolf one night finds something he had not planned and was not sure he wanted.  Daniel though is a good man and cannot leave the unconscious woman in the woods to die. 

The heroine is feisty, stubborn, and with willpower many men would shrink from.  The hero is the same but with him comes a grim determination and he finds himself not able to give anything more. 

Diana Hunter’s Cabin Fever is exactly what the title represents.  A cabin in the middle of nowhere and the fever that these two characters create is hot enough it could burn the forest down around them.  The tension between the two is taunt with need and pride the reader begins to wonder if they will ever conquer it.   

The scenes are told with such striking details that you can feel the snow, smell the wood, taste the passion, and hear the sounds of the woods creaking and the fire popping.  The heroine is strong and independent while being feminine at the same time.  The hero is virile, commanding and tender all at the same time.  Her beauty and his striking good looks complement each other so well that you find yourself fussing at them when they are being stupid, giggling when they do something embarrassing or silly, and angry when they let their past, pride and fears get in the way.   

This story is definitely a play on the emotions of characters and the readers as well.  This reviewer hopes to see many more tales by this truly gifted romance author.
