To Purchase

Blurb: Aleck burns with unquenched need and desire, a fire only Lily can slake. But Hitler’s war waits for no man and more bombs drop every day. Then he gets the chance to fight back. Torn between duty and desire, Aleck walks away from the one woman who’s captured his heart. There’s no room for love on a suicide mission. But when fate pulls them together on a battlefield, he’s not feeling so noble.

Lily is his woman. This time he’s claiming her, and to hell with the consequences. No future. No tomorrow. No Regrets.

Review: I have only one complaint about this story—that it ended. Wow seems like a shallow word to describe the depth of feeling this amazing author was able to weave into so few pages. I wouldn’t say that Aleck and *Lillie were lustful towards one another, but the sexual chemistry was palpable. I can’t say that they had a long history and deeply ingrained emotions, because they didn’t. But yet, the author brilliantly evoked emotions that went beyond words on a page. A quickie made me cry! My tummy tightened, my heart pounded. Although the sex was sensual, erotic and very descriptive, you don’t want a vibrator to take off the edge of arousal that simmers in your core while you read. You want that man. You remember the one. You knew him for a moment and always wondered what could have been. If you were given another chance, would you take it? Aleck and Lillie grasp a moment, love without limits and worry about tomorrow…tomorrow. They have tonight, yet I will think about them for some time to come.

*Reviewer Note. Lily is spelled Lillie in the story.
