Summer Heat 2

His Father’s Daughter by Jennifer Mueller

A Norman Lord arrives at a Saxon Lady’s manor in need of care after a battle. Even though the Saxons are trying to rid England of the Normans, this one finds that not all Saxons are enemies. Gwenhyfer is her father’s daughter whom most men are scared of, but this Norman sees her as she really is.

Jennifer Mueller draws her reader into the world of the Norman rule in England and deftly crafts a story that entertains, captures and tickles the senses. Her characters are solid with depth and emotion, the plot is tight and the love scenes are passionate and romantic. A wonderful story to start this anthology with.

Whispers by H. H. Self

When a beautiful, young Indian woman comes to the ranch to help with the horses, Hank is at first skeptic. Drawn to her, she not only captures the heart of the horse, but of this cowboy too. Hank is in danger of not only losing his job.

It is wonderful to see another story out by H. H. Self. This reviewer loves is poetic prose, the depth of his sensual love scenes and the great characters he portrays. He is truly a wonderful short story writer and this reviewer hopes he will come out with a full grown novel.

The Triangle by Jinx Williams

Three girl-friends go to the Bermudas for a holiday. One of them gets pulled back to a strange dimension while snorkeling to meet a man from the past. They find a strange orb and embark on an adventure that takes them both through time and space.

An exciting story of love beyond the confines of time, Jinx Williams has crafted a story that certainly thrills while it entertains. What more could a reader want than adventure, hot love scenes, and a Scottish hero with a sexy brogue. Yum!

Entrapped by Mae Powers

Doctor Kyleen Anderson has created a computerized machine that can read books and create the fantasy. When her dog chases her cat and they all fall against the machine, she is suddenly transported into the scenario of a futuristic romance novel. Will the hero be hers?

More of a romp, this story is a little tongue-in-cheek concerning futuristic romance stories, but none the less it is entertaining and fun. Who wouldn’t like to really live, at least for a while, inside one of those hot romances we all love to read?
