A Wrong Bed Christmas by Kimberly Van Meter and Liz Talley is a spicy firefighter story that is told in two parts, one from each author.  A  fabulous and creative approach to a fantastic holiday story full of sexy firefighters who must battle an impending snowstorm.

In Ignited by Kimberly Van Meter we meet Alexis Matheson who soon discovers that even in the dark, firefighters are sexy. Sometimes dreams can come true. 🙂

Layton Davis figures he’ll drop his buddy off and continue home despite the winter weather forecast. When an impending snowstorm changes his plans he decides to crash at his friends apartment. With the house supposedly empty his naked discovery begins a spicy adventure.

A snowstorm, a sprained ankle and a party will set in motion an adventure for our reading pleasure.

Our second story Where There’s Smoke by Liz Talley we meet Emma Brent and her best friends brother, Erik Matheson. If only she could be outspoken and just tell him how much she likes him.

Emma is desperate to reach her destination on time and Erik offers to drive her. Is he offering out of guilt or something more? Could he possibly be reading Emma’s mind?

A car accident, a lack of cell phone reception and an unlikely place for shelter make this a fabulous ending to a delicious great read!

I found myself giggling and enjoying this fabulous winter delight. While the sun shines and the pools are full of swimmers having fun for the next week I’m pretending the snow is falling, the decorations are waiting to be adorned and the sweet smells of holiday treats are permeating the air.

This two peppers spicy latte hot delight has just enough holiday sizzle to make you tingle and a lot of holiday fun! Oh, and yes, it’s for  mature readers 18+.

I received this book from the  publisher for a fair and honest review.  Get your copy here:

A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe by Vicki Lewis Thompson is another fantastic read from her Thunder Mountain Brotherhood series.  The cover is absolutely perfect for getting you into the holiday spirit.  Now that we’ve taken the book off the bookshelf or downloaded it into our e-reader, there’s also the annual tradition of trimming the  tree, hanging holiday lights and finding the right spot for a sprig of mistletoe.

For some, it’s also a chance to go home. When Ty Slater returns to visit his family he is in need of a quick caffeine fix and stops into the local coffee shop. This time he’s treated to a more awakening surprise, Whitney Jacobs.

What’s a woman to do when the man who she’s been eyeing for a very long time is standing in her coffee house. Could he finally have eyes for her?

A cup of coffee, Chinese food and a calendar are the perfect way to start for these two delectable characters. Vicki writes cowboy romance with tenderness, heat and lots of sexy charm.

Ty is a lawyer by day, a cowboy at heart but will he find a woman who doesn’t have expectations based on his calendar celebrity status? They both have secrets that could impact a permanent relationship.

This two peppers spicy latte hot delight has just enough holiday sizzle to make you tingle and a lot of holiday fun! Oh, and yes, it’s for  mature readers 18+.

I received this book from the publisher for a fair and honest review. While this is part of a series it can be read as a standalone. Lucky for you dear reader there are plenty of sexy cowboys in Vicki’s backlist.

(Review originally posted  12-24-14)

Christmas with a SEAL by Tawny Weber is the sixth installment in her Sexy SEALs series and is one sexy holiday treat!  Frankie Silvera is a silversmith who’s lost her mojo and is determined to get it back. A change is in order and she’s frustrated at the idea of never creating another sought-after piece of jewelry.  While at her dear friend Lara Banks’s wedding she runs into Phillip, Lara’s hunky brother, who doesn’t recognize her.

What’s a girl to do when she bumps into a man that’s been her childhood fantasy, the stud she’s been dreaming about her entire life? That’s when she whips up a plan, one wild and hot night of bliss! That will surely get her back on track. Her first instinct is to run, but she somehow calms herself down. It’s just one night, or is it?

Can a wild hot night inspire her creative gears? What will Phillip do if he learns the truth about who she really is? But her creative mojo is back and she’s out to put her career back on track with Christmas Ornaments that are in demand!

Unfortunately a tragic situation from a mission that went horribly wrong still haunts Phillip. He’s craving revenge about as much as Frankie has lusted after him since she was a teenager.  While both have an agenda, will they have time for each other? Never interested in being part of his family he’s finally connected with his sister Lara and perhaps may be the opening into something life-changing for both.

Unfortunately for Phillip his superiors have a different agenda and want him at the Naval Academy for training. All he really wants is to be back out in the field, but he decides to explore this newly discovered connection with Frankie and a few extra weeks at home won’t be so bad.

With both of them looking for a fresh start, they need to decide if this is just a passing fancy or determine if this could in fact be something more permanent. SEALs don’t usually do permanent. Especially daily, and for the lucky few, weekly contact is not what he’s used to. Now that he has some free time on his schedule, it’s time to decide if she’s able to handle him in more ways than one. Afraid he might be sacrificing more than he should Frankie panics! Convincing themselves that a little failure doesn’t mean it’s the start to a road of disaster, might prove to be a challenge.

As I mentioned in a previous blog post I don’t rate any of my reviews  on my blog. However, for this “Spicy Read” I will rate it for its spiciness that way you’ll know if this little gem is for you!

There is just enough sizzle to make you tingle, for 18+

Tawny Weber once again has dropped us into the world of hot, sexy Navy SEALs. These guys are smokin’ and their stories just keep getting better, especially the covers! This is one electric and sizzling story filled with decadence and pie! Yes, the baking will once again cause your salivary glands into massive overdrive!  It’s a good thing it’s not unusual for a baking session at three in the morning these next few days! If you are looking for something to get you in the mood – for baking or other decadent delights! – this holiday season then this will surely do!

So he dares her to one smokin’ hot Valentine’s night hook-up with no questions asked, satisfaction guaranteed…
