USA Today Bestselling Authors Kat Baxter and Emma Lee Jayne bring you three stand alone novellas about a small town family with big ambitions. They aren’t looking for love, but they just might be smart enough to grab it when it lands in their laps.
This series collection includes all three books.
Covert Curves By Kat Baxter She’s a run away heiress with a powerful father. He’s the off-duty Navy SEAL coerced into bringing her home safely. From the moment he sees her, all he wants is to protect her, but how can he bring her home when he wants to keep her for his own?
In Too Deep By Emma Lee Jayne When she needs a fake boyfriend for a tropical vacation, her penpal steps up. He’s been in love with her, sight unseen, for years, even though she’s his best friend’s little sister…
Scars and Stripes By Kat Baxter He comes home broken and wounded. The last person he expects to be his physical therapist is the woman he left behind. Now he’s grabbing this second chance at true love with both hands.
I’m a fan of Kat Baxter. I do enjoy her steamy Insta-life reads. I’d never read anything from Emma Lee Jayne previously but I thoroughly enjoyed her story in this set.
The Guidry Family were entertaining. The brother, Remy & Wade were protective and determined. Remy was still in service while Wade had had to leave the SEALs, they were both in very different places mentally and physically but when they were hit by cupids arrow, they were very similar in thoughts and action.
Cassie was a determined and stubborn gal. Growing up with brothers will do that to you I suppose..
Covert Curves had a bit of intrigue as to why Remy was tasked with find and taking Ava back home to the city. When he found out the truth he wasn’t a happy man at the reason but it gave him the opportunity to learn more about Ava!
In Too Deep introduced Remy’s best friend who was more than willing to pretend to be Cassie’s boyfriend to save her embarrassment at a work event. They’ve been in contact for a couple of years communicating back and forth while he was in service but had never met until Remy was home for a visit with Nick in tow. I liked them both and enjoyed how their story evolved. I’m off to read Too Far Gone after getting snippets of that storyline in Cassie & Nick’s read
Scars & Stripes brings Wade back home to Saddle Creek and back into the life of Kelli who he had hurt prior to leaving town to join the military. Wade was not in a good place and for Kelli he was the last person she wanted to deal with but her job was to help and he definitely needed her assistance! It was fun catching up with one of the characters from the Saddle Creek, Crawford series!
A good set of stories that I read straight through (yep, gave up some sleep to do so!!). I wanted to know how each couple got on and couldn’t put the book down!!
