In Deadly Delivery by Jeanne Adams we are treated to a griping tale of what happens when a food delivery for Thanksgiving goes really, really, wrong. Poor Dierdre Shercroft is helping out her family for the holidays because they’re short staffed, her regular job is in real-estate which helps her maneuver in and out of the buildings in the city. When fate drops her into the building owned by the very man she hooked up with at a work conference she’s not sure if she should scream or knock on his door.  Michael Pennington, a real estate tycoon delivered his own delicious surprise when they enjoyed a week of bliss.  Finally thinking she may have found that special someone Dierdre was giddy with anticipation of connecting up after the conference.  Unfortunately, Michael fed her the standard line that he’d be in touch.

That was that, or was it? Other than a brief text describing some family crisis Dierdre wasn’t sure what to believe.  It’s been months and well….there’d been no communication. Radio silent! Now, she’s in his building and doesn’t exactly have a great “vibe!”

As a member of the Shercroft family she helps out her parents for their family business by delivering decadent and anticipated holiday baskets. However, this is one delivery run that she’ll be remembering for a very long time.  The last thing one expects is to be staring at a crazy dude and a gun when the receiving party opens up the door.  What Deirdre runs into upon delivering the very last basket is anything but ordinary.  Guns, drugs, and Michael are all at the same place. After months of silence there’s some explaining that has to be done and this is not exactly how she envisioned this blessed reunion.

If you were face to face with a hot guy from your past that you thought wanted nothing to do with you, what would you do? Dierdre isn’t exactly a saint and has a bit of a checkered past herself. However, when she escaped her ex, she thought that part of her life was behind her. Now, the clock is ticking to get both her and Michael out of this pickle while discovering if there truly is anything between them.  This novella screams sexy adventure and will have you wondering until the very last page….WELL???  Yes, dear readers this is a must read and must own.
