He wants her body and heart, but a killer wants her soul.
After her erotic romance novels become international bestsellers, writer Gillian Tate cannot enjoy her long-sought success once her husband files for divorce and she becomes the target of threats from a religious fringe hate group; but when she tries to find peace in the solitude of a remote lakeside cabin to complete the third novel in the trilogy, not only does she meet the man who can fulfill her secret desires, she also finds she hasn’t escaped danger by leaving the city.
When the Adirondack town's police chief Sam Taylor learns of the threats and checks in on the notorious author, he is surprised to find she is nothing like he would have expected from her erotic novels but everything he has imagined in his own fantasies.
Can he and the woman of his dreams escape her waking nightmare?
*Adult Content: This erotic romantic suspense includes scenes of bondage between consenting adults.*
I truly loved this book.
I liked that it was about an author of an erotic romance series. The author P.G. Tate or her real name Gillian
was a romance writer and couldn’t really get any of her books to sell. A fellow author of hers told her she should
write MMMF. Well she just couldn’t go
from writing regular romance to orgies so she comprised with MMF. The first book sold so well that she was
signed to write a trilogy. Her second
book was MM and also sold very well.
But, as well all know no one can have everything. She finally gets what she has always wanted
in her career. In doing that though she
lost her husband. He wanted a divorce
because he was being asked all kinds of questions do to her books about the
personal sexual life. He works at a
religious school and felt he couldn’t keep working there and be married to
her. It didn’t hurt that he had someone
else waiting for him either. Now Gillian
is receiving all kinds of religious hate mail about her books. She just thinks that are kooks and not really
a threat. A friend has been offering her
a cabin in the woods where she can go and relax while she writes the third book
in the trilogy. She finally takes him up
on his offer. This is when things start
to pick up with the hate mail/threats.
Her agent’s house in broken into and she calls the police. When they come she tells them about the
threat Gillian has be receiving. They
figure out where Gillian is and send the local law to inform her of what has
happened. This is when Gillian meets
Sheriff Sam Taylor. He has no idea who
her pen name is or why she is receiving these threats. There is an instant connection between
them. After talking for a bit she signs
one her books for him and tells him he should read it. He invites her to the festival in town. This is where things really start to get
interesting in the book. I don’t want to
give any spoilers away so I will stop here.
The character Gillian is wonderful she has been through a
lot in her life and still is worried about everyone before she is concerned
about herself. She feels that everything
that is happening is her fault because she wrote the books that spurned this
person to these things. Sheriff Taylor
is what you would expect. He became a
cop to protect. In was a natural
instinct in him. Now he has found the
one person he wants to protect the most.
Gillian doesn’t want to get into anything serious with him. She just got divorced for the second time in
her life and doesn’t think she ever wants to get married again. But, Sam just brings something out in
her. She figures there is no way they
can have a future together even if it weren’t for the threats against her. Sam is determined to show her different. This book was wonderful written. It had some twists and turns I didn’t see
coming and surprised me. I really got
invested in the characters. I will definitely
be looking for other books from this author.
