What happens when an uptight Bostonian woman meets a rogue pirate on a caribbean island? Mischief, that's what. Felicity came to Barbados seeking out her father and trying to make him see the error of his ways in commerce. She felt that he was too trusting, especially when meeting his supposed new partner, Drew. But then the man was an utter domineering brute and all but forced her to leave the island, just when she had arrived. But not so fast, Felicity knew something was wrong and she was determined to get to the bottom of it even if it meant sneaking aboard the ship and stowing away to find clues as to Drew intentions. But what she didn't expect, was to find clues to what her heart might find.… (mehr)

I went on a free kindle book binge one night when I couldn't sleep. After the Ashes was the first book I downloaded and started reading. It's about a hot bounty hunter and it was free. It's now available for $3.99 on amazon or you can borrow it for free.

The book starts off with Christopher Braddock on the hunt for his latest bounty, Corey Sullivan, who is wanted for robbery and murder. Reaching Corey's ranch he comes upon Corey's sister Lorelei. Lorelei knows her brother is in some sort of trouble but refuses to let the bounty hunter in her home and protects her brother the best she can since she believes he is innocent. Little does she know that she's being played by her own brother.

"Riding away, he wasn't sure if he had just met the stupidest woman in the West, or the bravest."

Now I hate reviews that go on and on, paragraph after paragraph, about what happened in the story. I won't give away anything other than it was a good story. There's always a chance that when you get a free Kindle book, that book is going to be crap because of horrible grammar errors. This wasn't the case with this book. I found myself rooting for Lorelei and Braddock to get together and to admit their love for one another. I also found myself wanting her to beat the hell out of her brother for the mess that he gets them all in but she doesn't do that. She does something better. Something that is right.

One part in the book that I found enjoyable is when Corey sends her to Braddock to talk him out of hunting him down. He pretty much tells her to take care of him anyway she can. Even if that means sleeping with him. Though nothing happens during this meeting you can tell the sexual tension is there between the two and it's only a matter of time before something is going to happen.

"Sweetheart, next time we meet, I'm going to be looking for a lot more than a meal."

There's an awesome love scene outside that makes me all of a sudden want to be in the company of a bounty hunter or at least go camping. Maybe camping with a sexy bounty hunter? Maybe even camping with a hot guy who has a fake badge?

Anyway, let me push that fantasy aside and finish. I liked this book. The loves scenes are sexy and will get you going. The hot guy in the cowboy hat on the cover is pretty great too. Seriously I can't stop staring. I give it a 3 out of 5.… (mehr)
