Georgia Le Carre

Originally published in 2018. What a ridiculous romance novel It’s like the author just could hardly wait to get to the sex part.

Cade has become a hermit living up in the mountains of Colorado because he couldn’t get over his last fight with his wife who had left him while wasted drunk , with his twins, and wrecked and killed them all. Then, comes along Katrina, travelling the snowy passes and wrecks just down the hill from his house. She is, of course, passed out from a concussion and he rescues her and carries her to his little cabin. He’s instantly in love and can’t hold back his hard wood....haha. She recovers from her concussion and she is instantly smitten and wants him, even though she almost just died. Jeeeeez! So, they fight and fling, fight and fling. It turns out he is FILTHY rich and she is a beautiful stripper who was hired by his mother to show her son what he is missing by being holed up a cabin in the mountains. But, that backfires on the momma cause she sees her son falling in love eith the ho'. His mother chases her off and she goes back to stripping.

But, Cade loves her so, to everyone’s surprise…NOT, he drives to her place of employment, slaps down a gold card and requests a private dance from Katrina. She opens the door and sees it’s Cade who has come back for her. They make passionate love in the private room and then he rescues her, much like in “An Officer and a Gentleman”, from her smucky life. The end. No surprises here folks! No story! No foundation! Very shallow and a waste of my time! I need to start taking more time in choosing books with substance!… (mer)

Dahlia & Zane's story. He's a Russian mobster she's a literary agent. Subbing for her best friend ( who's a masseuse & crushing on Zane hard) Dahlia goes to Zane's to give him a massage. He thinks she's a prostitute and treats her like one (and she lets him) and he tells her she will be back for more. She's appalled but day dreams about him for months. Her sister is kidnapped and Dahlia has to call Zane. He will help her get her sister back if she contracts to spend a month with him where he can use her anyway he wants. Zane is cold and unfeeling and of course Dahlia falls for him. The sex is magnificent and then hey can't get enough of each other. Conveniently Dahila's sister is found (SPOILER ALERT because Zane is the one who orchestrated her kidnapping) Zane's icy demeanor starts to melt and he develops feelings. Tragedy strikes and we see if the relationship will last. A little disjointed and creepy with the kidnapping thing. Baggage from both of them, stilted emotions, and a relationship mostly based on sex.… (mer)
