Blurb: Come to Camp Winnehawkee!
For new experiences. (With boys!)
For the great outdoors. (Where you can find yourself in nature. With boys!)
For adults-only activities. (Best shared with men!)

For venture capitalist Adam Sutherland, attending Camp Winnehawkee's reopening was a no-brainer. He's even reuniting with former camp counselors to chip in and help revive the camp. What he isn't expecting is to find a girl sleeping in his bunk. Or that the girl is none other than Julia McKee, who went from shy and awkward Good Girl to scorching-hot babe….

But the good girl is all gone…and she's headed off to Paris! But before she goes, Julia intends to show her bad-boy childhood crush just how to put the "wild" back into the wilderness! And this time, he'll be the one left wanting more….

Review: WHEW!!!! HOT!!! HOT!!! HAWT!!!!!!!! WOW! As I sit here and fan myself I will try to keep my thought coherent enough in my Blaze addled brain so you get a clear enough picture of how rocking this story was that you rush right out and get your own copy cause I ain't sharin' :) First...SMOKIN' hot hero. Second...Heroine who blossomed into a knockout while he wasn't looking. Three...INFERNO SEX THAT WILL DRIVE YOU WILD!

Are you still here? What in the world for? Oh...I get it...You want me to tell you more huh? *sigh* As if the inferno sex wasn't enough...FINE! It's a second chance :) Julia grabs the brass ring and shows that sexy stud everything that she has become....everything she wasn't back in the day. Now, if you know me then you already know that second chance love stories rank right up there with friends to lovers for me so it was no wonder that I snatched this one :) My questions is why are you still here? You really need to check this one out :)

Blurb: Research librarian Nan Galvin's days were fairly ordinary…until she came across a box of letters. They were glimpses into the life of the mother she hardly knew—which made her question everything she knew about herself. Now, Nan desperately needs the truth. And so she travels to Ireland, with its rolling green hills…and drop-dead gorgeous Irishmen!

Songwriter Riley Quinn isn't looking for The One. After all, a musician isn't meant to settle down. Of course, that was before he met the American girl who makes his blood burn like fire. He can't get enough of her. She's his muse, his lover, his woman.

And in a few days, she'll be going home…
Review: As a lifetime Harlequin reader, I know what to expect when I pick one up. Upon occasion, I end up grabbing one that just blows me away....this was one of them :)

A story that not only pulled me in, but left me weak in the knees :) But of course, that is what Blaze is famous for :) Ms Hoffman has done a wonderful job in not only creating characters and a tale that kept my attention and caused me to huff when interrupted, but gave me such vivid images that I "felt" as if I was right there with them.

I say SNAPS to Ms Hoffman  on a great job :)
