Leslie Kelly - A Taste Of Paradise - Addicted to You

When your sexy vacation hookup becomes too hot to handle...

ADDICTED TO YOU by Leslie Kelly

Ten months ago, Heather Hughes had an unbelievable few days with hot quarterback Nate Watson. It ended in scandal and heartbreak. Now her mother is getting remarried in the Caribbean—to Nate’s father. The chemistry between her and Nate is still hotter than the tropical sun...but Heather’s already been burned once. Can she risk it again?

MORE THAN A FLING by Shana Gray

Lana Hunter has a few precious days in Hawaii before a big business meeting—time to relax and indulge herself. But indulgence takes on a whole new meaning when she meets dishy South African Grant Rankin. It’s the perfect fling—brief and wicked. After days exploring volcanoes and nights exploring each other, how will Lana ever return to real life?

She had never experienced a moment of such sensory perfection.

The pulsing surge of the waterfall crashing behind them, the caressing embrace of the cool water touching every inch of her skin, the earthy smell of the jungle surrounding the pool, the eggshell-blue of the sky, the vivid green trees...all her senses were on overload.

But not a single one of those things was as potent—as addicting—as the man who stepped closer and swept her into his arms.

His wet, hard body met hers, and his powerful hands lifted her at the waist. Their mouths came together in a hot, carnal kiss. His warm tongue tangled and mated with hers, thrusting deeply, his hunger consuming.

The water buoyed her, and she easily wrapped her legs around his hips. Nate glided his hands down her body, caressing her stomach, her waist, her hips, her ass. Every touch was accompanied by a swish of the water, and the eroticism of it was like nothing she had ever experienced. She couldn’t even imagine how good it was going to feel when he thrust into her...

Addicted To You Addicted to You Leslie Kelly

Dear Reader Dear Reader , When I was asked to write a story for a December Blaze collection, I was picturing snowflakes, jingling bells and Santa. What fun, therefore, to get to write a super-sizzling story set in a steamy island paradise! Who doesn’t dream about escaping the winter blues with a decadent fun-in-the-sun vacation? Throw in a private yacht and a destination cruise, and it sounds like the dream getaway. Unless, of course, you’re the maid of honor and the bride is your recently widowed mom. Oh, and if the best man is your ex-lover who obviously didn’t care much about you because he dropped off the face of the earth a year ago. Nathan and Heather’s story was such fun to write. I loved the fantasy aspect of a typical girl getting involved with a star athlete, not to mention the wedding cruise in the Caribbean. Aren’t you picturing lying on a warm, sunny beach somewhere? I hope you enjoy Addicted to You—and that your winter might bring a few warm, unexpected surprises. Best wishes, Leslie Kelly
