Roxi is everything Sloane dreamed of and more but she is putting restrictions on their relationship right off the bat. Sloan intends to show Roxi that the magic between them is uncontrollable. I needed a breather after reading Love Potion # 9. I assumed it would be sexy and romantic but I didn't know that Sloan was going to blow my mind with his mastery in the bedroom! Roxi is responsive and extremely passionate with Sloan. Her reasoning for being so adamant about not committing to him at first was a little weak though. Love Potion # 9 is intense, erotic and romantic. Midnight Plane To Georgia by E.C. Sheedy Tracy Allson is going to Parasol, Georgia, to help her uncle Tommy start a bed and breakfast.

Once there, Tracy and Colson decide to take things further, but will their plan to be lovers for a short time be foiled if they start falling for each other? Midnight Plane To Georgia is a sweet and sexy story. Although Tracy tries, Colson proves very hard to resist with his oozing charm and sex appeal. I probably would have caved a lot sooner! I admired Tracy's need to protect her heart and I loved Colson's persistence. Midnight Plane To Georgia is a fun and sexy story.

Sensual Southern Bad Boys

Love Potion by Joann Ross is the first story by this author that I had read and I was pleasantly surprised. Superbly written, it is the sensual tale of Roxi Dupree, a witch with a commitment problem and a three date rule and Sloan Hawthorne, a Southern bad boy who put the sex in sexual. Roxi is the type of heroine that I like - full of sass, intelligence and humor. Sloan is a wonderful hero and Roxi's equal, strong and determined to have this witch for his own. This story was enough to put me on the hunt for more of her books. Midnight Plane to Georgia by E.C. Sheedy was another surprise as I was not familiar with this author. Tracy Mae Allson has "yessed" herself into a rut. This people-pleaser just can't say no and she's finally had enough. Grabbing the opportunity to help her uncle get a B & B together on the other side of the country, she's all set to put her life in order. Workaholic Colson Jones doesn't have time for a personal life, just drive-by sex between jobs, but he's made an exception for Tracy. And when he falls in love can he get Tracy to revert to her "yessing" ways? Great story. Fall from Grace by Jill Shalvis is, in my opinion, the best story in this anthology. Janie Mills flees from a past that could get her killed. Changing her name, she finds a new life in Grace, Georgia as the town librarian. One night she's attacked by the town's leading citizen and fights back, only to discover that the man she's leveled with a library book isn't the one she was running from. Ryan Peterson is a P.I. with a headache, a wildcat on his hands and a missing client. The last thing he needs is a growing attraction to the mysterious Janie. Can he get her to trust him before somebody kills her? This story is a must read.

Steamy Summer Reading!!

LOVE POTION #9 by JoAnn Ross--Roxi Dupree, the owner of Hex Appeal in the heart of historic Savannah, reluctantly agrees to give Hollywood filmmaker Sloan Hawthorne a little history lesson about the main character in his latest movie. The two immediately realize that they have shared the same intimate dream and their relationship needs no magic or witchcraft to force an attraction. Roxi is fiercely independent and is reluctant to share herself with Sloan. Sloan finds himself bewitched by Roxi and wants much more of her than her standard three date rule will allow. Convincing her that his feelings for her are very real may require more patience and effort than putting together a blockbuster hit.******* MIDNIGHT PLANE TO GEORGIA by E. C. Sheedy--Tracy Allson decides that helping her uncle run his B & B in Georgia will give her the break she needs before setting out on a fresh career path. Little does she know that she will end up hooking up with the gorgeous guy she locks eyes with across the crowded airport. When she arrives at the B & B, her uncle is gone, leaving the house in her hands, which also places Colson Jones in her care, seeing how a change in his travel plans has given him several free days and he decides to stay at the B & B. After the two work on sprucing up the dilapidated house, spending every moment - waking and otherwise - together, they effortlessly strike up an affair hotter than the Georgia sun. When Colson has to leave to continue on his business trip, he finds it's not business as usual trying to convince Tracy to take a chance on a future with him.******* FALL FROM GRACE by Jill Shalvis--Janie Mills starts a new life as a librarian in Grace, Georgia, after witnessing her brother murder her cousin over a bad drug deal one year ago. When PI Ryan Patrick shows up at the library at closing time, sneaking up behind her, the frightened Janie attacks him with a dictionary, fearful for her life. When the two stop scuffling, they hear a gunshot and find one of the town's most beloved men lying dead on the floor. After all of this excitement, Janie's apartment is found to have been ransacked, causing Ryan to take Janie to his island home. These two are immediately on the fast track to spontaneous combustion, completely helpless in their attraction for each other. Despite one surprise after another involving some of the most esteemed members of Grace, Ryan is hopeful that Janie will agree to begin her life anew one more time, this time with him being a permanent part of it.******* This is a wonderfully fun anthology. Being a huge fan of the south, I especially enjoyed the Georgia settings. I highly recommend including these bad boys in your beach bag - you won't be disappointed in this fun summer read!
