by Vonna Harper

Her Passionate Need By Vonna Harper At first undercover cop Devin Rourke wants nothing from Ana Briggs besides the truth behind his best friend's murder-a truth tied to Ana's dead husband. But as his search takes them into the wilderness, isolation, loneliness, and hunger strip away their protective layers. When Ana awakens Devin from a nightmare, he takes her in more ways than one. Now nothing will ever be the same again.

About the author

Under her "real" name, Vonna Harper has published more fiction than she can keep track of . These include category romances for the major players as well as the 'juicy' stuff. She also penned a series of well-received Native American historicals. One earned her finalist status in both the Women Writing the West Willa award and Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association. Before discovering romances, both erotic and otherwise, Vonna 'confessed' all kinds of nonsense for the confession magazines.

When asked about erotica research, she insists, "Of course I've time-traveled to the ancient Everglades, infiltrated bondage strongholds, done wilderness search and rescue, and spent a night trapped in a workout gym with Mr. Universe. How can I possibly write about something I haven't experienced?"

As for day jobs, "I've been a commercial pilot, brain surgeon, worked as a white-water river guide, bee keeper, snake charmer, and garbage collector."

I liked it for the most part. There were a couple times it went a little slow for me and it did drive me crazy that neither character talked about contraception. I had to step away and stop reading at one point when it got to be too much for me; not the sex but the fact that they were having so much of it and still the topic hadn't come up between them. I considered not finishing the book but I knew I was almost done with it. It took several days before I had cooled down enough from the contraception rant before I was able to go back to the book since I only had a little ways to go before I finished it. I would have enjoyed the sex and the book a lot more if preventing pregnancy had been mentioned at least once in the book. Other than that particular issue it wasn't too bad.

A veces parezco masoca leyendo libros: me cuesta un montón abandonarlos, aunque tenga más que claro que no me están gustando nada.
Si este le terminé fue porque era corto y ya lo había empezado, pero no me resultó nada creible: ni como novela erótica ni de suspense. Con lo primero no porque, salvo en una ocasión, no me podía creer que se pusiesen en plan cachondo mientras estaban hablando de sus traumas infantiles o estaban siendo tiroteados por un francotirador en el bosque. Pero tampoco la parte del suspense, porque, aunque tenía su interés, se resuelve prácticamente por si sola.

En definitiva, una decepción.
