Willing to risk frostbite for such a cabin

I bought the book on the recommendation of the other reviewers and I was not disappointed in the least. It was a right through read so if you're thinking of reading it make sure you've got time at your leisure. Isabel is out on a date but he turns out to be one of those slimy types who can't keep his hands to himself. When the situation seems to be getting out of hand Isabel impulsively jumps out of the car only to realize that she is on a mountain far from civilization. The creep of a boyfriend drives off totally unconcerned about her fate. Fate however, was smiling at Isabel who instead of being devoured by wolves as she feared, she faints in the arms of a hunk. (sigh) Daniel Fox is an attorney who is resolved to live in isolation for a time after losing a case which weighs heavy on his conscience. He uses his grandfather's cabin in the woods which is barely utilitarian, the toilet being a hole in the ground. The last thing he anticipates is the encumbrance of a lone female in need of nursing when an imminent storm is about to strike. Isabel comes round to find herself naked in a bed with a total stranger looking after her. Naturally she is unnerved as her lack of clothes and confined space make the tall, broadshouldered man intimidating. There is only one bed in the cabin and she has no clothes as the totally unsuitable silk dress she was wearing was ruined while stranded in the forest. They are snowbound thus forced to share what little there is in a cabin where the word privacy does not apply. The adverse weather conditions fortuitously prohibit an early rescue, giving them time to get to know each other. Hunter does a great job keeping the suspense and anticipation right on the edge despite the fact that the whole story relies on two main characters and most of the action takes place in and around a tiny cabin. The characters gradually learn to trust each other and open up before they become intimate. That takes a while but once it does it is scorching. Daniel is a tender loving dominant who exposes Isabel to her submissive side, much to her delight. Though the cabin contains the bare necessities, David is very imaginative and inventive so he finds ways to spice up the sex using every type of nautical knot in the scout's manual. Except for the part concerning visions and premonitions bordering on the paranormal which I found unecessary and detracting from the story, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to more.

Erotic sexual submission set within a good story.

STORY BRIEF: Isabel is on a first date with a creep Eddie who drives up a mountain planning to make out with her. She fights him off, gets out of the car and tells him to leave. He drives off without her. Then she realizes she is stranded 10 miles from home. She starts walking, but gets lost when a storm begins. Daniel lives in a nearby cabin. He finds her and gives her shelter. The snowstorm strands them together in his cabin for a few months. Daniel is a lawyer who defended a client and got him off. The client then committed a murder. Daniel wanted alone time living in the cabin while dealing with his guilt from the case. REVIEWER'S OPINION: The story and characters are enjoyable. It didn't feel like a run-of-the-mill story. It is good writing and enjoyable. The only thing I did not like was the conflict toward the end which separated the couple. The author used my pet peeve of vague communication and inaccurate assumptions. Although I grumbled with that mechanism, I still enjoyed the story. The sex scenes include submission with Daniel tying up Isabel and causing pleasure through pain. The author comes up with some unusual bondage and pain ideas. DATA: Story length: 249 pages.

Cabin Fever

Isabel Ingandello had the date from hell. After fending off her date's unwanted groping, she escapes his car refusing to return. Maybe that wasn't such a great idea because being abandoned on a lonely mountain road in the middle of the night is scary. And it's a rainy night too. Disoriented, cold and wet, Isabel panics when she happens upon a wolf...and a man in the dark mountain woods. Injuring herself by fleeing in alarm, Isabel succumbs to her fear and pain. She faints. Daniel Fox, escaping an unhappy career and relationship, lives in a small cabin deep in the woods. Having no electricity or running water is not a problem. Having the company of the lovely Isabel is a problem. When a winter storm hits before Isabel is well enough to leave the mountain, Daniel finds himself snowed in with the lovely Isabel for the winter. That is a huge problem! A tiny cabin, a lone bed, a dominant man and a strong-willed woman is the recipe for disaster. Or love. Can Daniel and Isabel fight the heat of their attraction as the winter weather rages around them? If I ever find myself lost on a mountainside, I pray that a man like Daniel Fox rescues me. If his amazing physique isn't enough, his confident dominance would make me swoon with delight! Isabel is lucky indeed. Resilient, sexy and caring, Isabel is exactly what Daniel needs. The erotic love scenes between these two were scorching hot! BDSM is one of my favorite genres. Cabin Fever's BDSM elements are not extreme and I believe most readers will find them titillating rather than off-putting. Vivid detail, sultrysex and a well developed plot, Cabin Fever left me, well, feverish! Annabelle reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

This is the perfect book to read on those cold winter nights when you're stuck inside

Isabel is in her thirties and still unmarried, much to her mother's displeasure. She had accepted a date with a human octopus and when he refused to stop groping, Isabel got out of the car to walk home. Now, she's lost in the woods ten miles from the city, in the dark, and it's raining - so much for being an independent, self-sufficient woman. Daniel is taking a break from civilization, and staying in a tiny cabin with no amenities. In the civilized world, Daniel was an attorney. He handed in his resignation when a case he was handling went very wrong and resulted in the death of a woman. Racked with guilt, Daniel makes plans to live in the cabin alone. Those plans are demolished when Isabel literally faints at his feet. Cold, wet, alone, and hopelessly lost, Isabel struggles to find her way off the mountain where her date had left her. When she hears a growl, her imagination goes into overdrive and she begins racing through the trees, the branches rip at her clothes and inflict injuries to the skin beneath. In her panic, Isabel runs into a huge man who grabs her wrist. She escapes him, only to be tackled by a wolf. Seconds later, the shock of the evening's events proves to be too much and Isabel faints. Daniel takes the young woman into his cabin and cares for her wounds, even stitching up a nasty cut on her arm. When Isabel wakes up from her faint days later, she's naked and tied to the bed. Isabel's also disturbed by the unexplainably realistic dreams she's having while sleeping. Daniel releases her, explaining that he'd been forced to bind her while she was feverish so that she wouldn't reopen her stitched arm. As Isabel gradually improves, her stubborn, independent nature become more obvious to Nathan, turning him on almost as much as it frustrates him. Daniel knows that once it begins to snow, they'll be snowed in, he plans to get her back to the city and go back to his solitary life, but Mother Nature has other plans. They end up snowed in. It will be months before they can get out again. With only each other for company and a single bed, life's bound to get interesting. From the very beginning CABIN FEVER is addictive, I read the entire story in one sitting. Isabel's stubbornness and determination endear her to the reader. Daniel's gentleness and take charge attitude, especially in a man his size is a huge turn on. Add to that, the fact that he's an extremely dominant male and you have a man worth fantasizing about long after you finish reading. The plot is fast paced, action packed, filled with sexual anticipation, and contains a hint of paranormal. The mystery behind the dreams is fascinating and an interesting distraction from the intensity of the characters. Diana Hunter depicts the emotions behind each of the character's actions beautifully so that you feel an attachment for them. This is the perfect book to read on those cold winter nights when you're stuck inside, it gives a whole new meaning to the te
