Can't Help Falling In Love: 

Gabe exposes himself to danger every day as a fire-fighter, and knows better than to risk his heart to fire casualties. However, the brave mother and daughter he saved from a deadly apartment fire are different, and he can't stop thinking about them.

Megan knows she owes the heroic fire-fighter for saving her and her seven-year-old daughter. After losing her pilot husband five years ago, she vowed to never to fall for a man with a dangerous job again.

When unruly flames of passion ignite between them, how can he disregard her determination, and beauty, how can she deny his erotic kisses?

There is so much passion and fire between Gabe and Megan in Can't Help Falling In Love that you might find it hard to put down. The intimacy is prodigious, yet even without, the story rocks.

There are buckets of lust and ardour in this one and as a bonus, if you like fire-fighters you might just fall in love with Gabe.  

Can't Help Falling In Love is well written, has good dialogue, and the characters are full of interest - what more could you want.

Hellraiser:

When Dr Zach Taylor starts a new job he finds that the elderly male doctor he expected to find, is a female paediatrician who wins over her young patients by wearing outlandish outfits. At first Zach is fuming mad, knowing he has been set up, but decides the shock treatment will do him some good. Although he's off women because of a painful divorce,, he can't deny that Dr Sam Winslow is interesting.

An eternal carer, Sam can't help but add Zach's anguished heart to her list of pressing cases. Moreover, she has to admit that the man is attractive and has her libido turning somersaults.

Hellraiser is basically a good story that is let down with detail.

It is interesting how Sam and Zach relate when they first meet, and the sex is hot, as you would expect with an erotic romance. However, I’m not quite sure why the title is Hellraiser - it has little to do with the story and neither of the central characters could be considered a hellraiser. 

Part of the detail that lets the book down, is the editing. It is a little substandard. I suspect the author changed the genders of the central characters at some point, and forgot to change some of the ‘he’ and ‘she’, etc. Hellraiser is not actually a bad read, but is only just okay.

A Second Chance: 

Jade’s organized life disintegrates after her engagement ends, leaving her in urgent need of a change of scene. Her best friend’s struggle with cancer makes it an easy choice to move to California.

Meeting Liam again after twelve years, only proves what she has suspected for a long time; the years since they last met haven't changed the way she feels.

Against her better judgment, Jade allows herself to get close to him, and is shocked to find that Liam carries a burden of guilt. As hopeless as it appears, retreating isn’t an option as she decides to fight for the man she loves. Will her love be enough to save Liam?

It is essential that a romance book allows you to fantasize, visualize and be glad when all ends well. It has to have the correct blend of realism and illusion. A Second Chance seems to have it in just the right amount.

The plot of A Second Chance is comfortable, with nothing too demanding or outrageous. I have to admit I prefer stories to have more dialogue, and I’m not a lover of too much introspection. This book had quite a lot of introspection and descriptive writing, but I realize other readers will prefer it that way.
