Blurb: What Fran Jamison and Jack Gerrard have in common, you could balance on the head of a pin. And to make things worse, Jack blew his chances to hell back in High School with the BBW.


Neither goes to their 10th college reunion expecting sparks to fly, but when they collide in the airport, painful old memories quickly evaporate to make way for two people desperately needing to scratch 12-year-old itches.

Jack royally blew it when he let other people's opinions stop him from pursuing the 5'11" bombshell so many years back, and by the time he realized he was a jackass and tried to apologize, a traumatized and hurt Fran had shredded his ego in public, leaving him to lick his wounds and move on.

She thought she would hate him on sight. She didn't. She thought she could walk away. She couldn't. She certainly didn't expect to find herself making out like a madwoman on the hood of a borrowed car in the airport parking ramp. But she did expect one thing...she was not going to walk away again. Not when he was so damn good at scratching those itches...

Review: Have you ever wondered what could have been with that guy? You know the one, the one you just can't seen to stop thinking about no matter how much time has passed?

I enjoy a good second chance story. Always have. They story was well written, hot (in true Fran Lee style) and meaningful. two characters overcome bumps along the way and insecurities to find their way to satisfaction in the end.

I bought the story and the situations, the conflict and the resolution, but at times I didn't really believe it. But as a whole, it was a good read and I would recommend it.

*SNAPS* Ms Lee on another story added to an already impressive portfolio.

Blurb: Lee Blackhorse is hardly Cougar material, no matter what her friends over at Tempt the Cougar say. A forty-two-year-old woman who lusts after her thirty-year-old weekend helper is just plain nuts. Or is she? Mike Running Elk is the sexiest thing ever to don tight jeans and a second-skin t-shirt. She’s secretly yearned for the man for years.


Mike has no problem seeing himself in the role of Lee’s lover. In fact, if he can just get the hot-as-hell woman to realize he’s plenty old enough to ring her bells, he plans to do more than just clean her barn and mow her grass. He’s waited for her long enough.

When Mike shows up at her door with an injured hand, he notices Lee can’t pull her eyes off his naked, ripped chest. Mike can’t believe she’s as oblivious as she acts. The ice has been broken and he intends to heat things up even more…

Reader Advisory: Our poor heroine endures some mild violence, but don’t worry—the hero’s got her back.

Review: In true Ms Lee style this story had everything. Plot, a hot man, a nasty ex, and sex. Hot, sweaty, dirty sex!  YEAH BABY!!

I have read several books by Ms Lee and have to say that this one, though not my favorite, was very well written. I could really 'feel' Lee's frustration with wanting a younger man. The variation in the love scenes was not mechanical in any way. And BOY HOWDY if you like variety...well lets just say I'll never look a waffle the same for the rest of my life.

At times I thought the use of 'philanderer' was a bit overused. It seems to be a reference not used much by people my age, but rather those a generation above mine, but not really a major thing. There were a couple of spots when I thought the wording could have been switched around to make the sentence read a little more clear. But other than that, the story was good. One I would recommend to those who enjoy a good hot Cougar story :)

Blurb:Helen is working a latte shop just outside an upscale high-rise apartment in Manhattan. Switching shifts with her boss, she finds herself face-to-face with the most delicious, maddeningly arrogant men she’s ever met. He’s hot and sexy as hell, but the fact that he can’t lift his eyes from her chest is a strike against him. Too bad he’s such a jerk…she would have loved to get to know him better. But as soon as he’s out of sight, she turns around to find another one, just like him, but this one looks her in the eye, and has a smile that takes her breath away. Dear Lord, there are two of them?

Jason and Jonathon Blackstone have the same taste in clothes, cars and women. Identical twins, they often trade clothes…and sometimes they even share their women. Jon may have seen her first, but Jace intends to be the man who gets her. Unfortunately, he may just end up having to share again, since the sexy coffee girl seems to want them both.

Review: HOT HOT HOT~!~!~!~! This story leaves little doubt about the ability of Ms Lee to craft a Smokin story!

From the word GO this is a fast paced, sexually steeped wonder for the senses that is sure to leave you with a smile and maybe a bit damp ;) With two (2) super studs and one woman all in the same condo, things are bound to get steamy........and BOY DO THEY!!!!!!

Ms Lee, *SNAPS* on a wonderful job. This story is the perfect example as to why we love your work :)

Blurb: What good is a dream income, access to a private jet, all the perks that go with being Mike Furie’s überproficient personal assistant, if Jillian has no life? She wants a life with a man in it. And staying with overbearing, totally sexy, self-serving bachelor Mike will lead nowhere.

A trip to Aspen to “rescue” Mike from the clutches of the latest woman seeking to sink her claws into him, an excess of champagne to fortify her, and she tells him what she thinks of his high-handed tactics. She’s quitting. Again.

So how the hell did she end up in bed with him in a Tahoe honeymoon suite, naked? Why can’t she recall how her signature got on that marriage license?

Mike discovers talents he never knew Jill possessed. Now he has her right where he wants her. And he wants her again…and again. In his bed and under him. But it’s not all about the lust, and if he gets his way, Jillian won’t be leaving his side or his bed—ever.

Review: Holy Hopping Horned Toads, Hubert! I love a good office romance, and when you add in a few good belly laughs it makes it even better. I have read several of Ms Lee's works, and have to say that she is high ranking on my list of MUST READ authors :)

Hot and sexy, with a touch of sassy (okay okay, Jill has more than just a touch of sassy :) This fast paced read is one that should be on every TBR list. With characters that will make you laugh, smile and clench your knees together, I promise a smile or twenty :)

*SNAPS* Ms Lee on yet again, another job well done :)

Blurb: Chris has been through hell, is about to be homeless, and her situation is showing no signs of improvement. She knows there is no such thing as a knight in shining armor—she learned that the hard way. Now she's on the brink of total disaster with no champion to save her.

Tonio is being shoved toward an unwelcome, unwanted marriage, and is quickly running out of options. It boils down to a choice between getting hogtied to a woman he can't stand, or quickly finding an attractive substitute who can be the band-aid he needs, without becoming a full-body cast.

When Chris and Tonio meet, fate intervenes with a vengeance. They each make assumptions about the other’s lifestyle choices, and assume that a no strings attached relationship between them is the perfect solution. But you know what they say happens when you assume…

Review: *Sigh* Have you ever read a story that is so romantic, touching, and heartwarming that when you got to the end you wanted to start it all over? Filled from e-cover to e-cover with hysterical laughs, a sexy Latin man and a totally funny misunderstanding this novel will have you in stitches till the end :)

I rolled every time Chris got interrupted during her dreams. The "misunderstanding" between her and Tonio was a riot that I have not seen the likes of in a long time. And the ending was totally worth it :)

Ms. Lee, chalk up another winner to your list of published works. I am thrilled that my eyes have been opened to you as an author. Rest assured that Ms Lee will remain on my reading list for as long as she has new titles coming out :)

Blurb: Hallie James loves cats—she just never realized she was one herself. Not until she met delicious leopard shifters Gar and Cal, one sinfully dark, one beautifully golden.

A terrifying meeting with a runaway pit bull lands her on her butt on the sidewalk. But when the dog’s owners appear out of nowhere, asking if she’s all right, Hallie has the most shocking reaction to their mouthwatering…scent!

Cat pheromones are powerful, and Gar and Cal’s attraction to the human is as instant as hers is to them. Hallie finds herself caught between two cats—hot and hard Gar, and his hot and delicious little brother Cal. When a gal is confronted with such a succulent choice, why not enjoy the fact that cats aren’t monogamous?

Review: I have always been a sucker for super sexy shifters. This story definitely has two studs who fit the bill and a woman who is on the receiving end of their affections. What a place to be:) The story and characters were well written and kept my attention focused.

I loved the tale......until......yet, the dreaded ICK factor hit. Now don't get me wrong, shifters ROCK and the fact that the heroine is also a shifter makes it cool.......BUT cat copulation is definitely NOT titillating for me to read. and after the feline lovin she is left a bit battered "down there" and one of the feline lovers......*gag* sorry he cleans the affected area the way cats clean every part of their bodies. *lick* *lick* maybe wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't had to read about the injured naughty bits and how he cleansed them. EEEK!

With that being said, if I could blot that spot from my mind forever, I would definitely read the story again. That one spot was my only issue through all 69 pages and it was toward the very end.

Ms. Lee, I have read several of your titles and have to say that even though there may be an occasional icky spot for me, I fully intend to come back for more :)

Blurb: She’s a best-selling erotic romance writer. Her fans adore her. She’s making excellent money. All by writing about a man she dreamed up many years ago. Her hero is handsome, virile, sexy, strong, sensitive and a complete gentleman.

He’s a hot-headed, sex-on-the-hoof pro wrestler. He has a reputation for being the hottest, nastiest man on the mats. The fact that his face and body are plastered all over a bunch of mushy romance novels written by a woman with a death wish doesn’t sit well on those massive shoulders. His agent’s demanding monetary retribution from the woman who’s dared to use his image on her covers but he has another form of retribution in mind…and it has nothing to do with money.

She was his the moment he touched her. He came out of her dreams to claim her, and she wants every hot, throbbing inch of that delicious man.

He wants her, naked, at his mercy. One hot, orgasmic night wasn’t nearly enough. She ran…but he’ll find her

Review: Holy Horny Toads!!! WOW! What a fantastic read. I loved it from beginning to end and every page in between. LOTS of smoking, steamy, sensual sex in a variety of locations. A totally captivating story about two people who once they meet, just can't keep their hands to themselves!

It's not your typical boom boom novel (though there was a lot of boom boom :0 ) Sam has real emotions and concerns about getting involved in a relationship with a sexy super star who has beautiful women falling over him all the time. And why wouldn't she? She thinks herself plain and scarred, nothing some stud would want for the long term.

To bad her hormones and her brain can't seem to agree, because every time she gets around him her body has a mind of it's own and just can't stop the sparks and passion that fly between them.

What can I say about David? Well, since I harbor a secret fantasy about a certain ex marine wrestler the only thing I can say is........Can I have some mat time? Totally yummy!

Blurb: Bored with her sex life with a husband she still loves, but who has the Saturday-night, three-minute orgasm—his—down to a fine art, Haley takes the first step on a journey of sexual discovery when Josh, younger brother of her closest friend, expresses a decidedly carnal interest in her. The result is more than she imagined in her raunchiest fantasies.

Josh has had a crush on Haley since he was a kid, gangly and too damn tall for his weight. But he isn’t a kid anymore, and he grew into his six foot five inches, plus some. He’s come back home for one thing only—for a shot at the girl he fell for when he was too damn young to do much about it.

But Harry’s not done with his wife—not when he finds out that inside that prim, repressed shell, she’s been hiding the sexual temptress he’s always hungered for. Now all Haley has to do is ask, and two men are ready to give her everything she wants.

Review: I have always enjoyed EC's Exotica line. Hot, spicy numbers designed to turn you on. This one is no exception to the titilation factor, but I had a couple of issues. After the third or fourth time of reading that something was "sooo fucking good" or "sooo worth the wait" it got tiresome and boring.

I hit one "ick factor" point in the story during a shower scene when Haley says she wants both men in her hoo-haw at the same time and they do it. Can you say Ouch?

Aside from those two factors, I loved the story. It was titilating and tasty, everything I have come to expect from this line. I fully intend to read more from this author and hope that the rest leave me as satisfied as this one.
