Surprise
Samara Murphy went to Jamaica for a little adventure-she comes back home to a big SURPRISE. Samara Murphy goes to Jamaica to relax in the sun and escape the New England winter. She doesn't expect to meet far-too-sexy Connor O'Riley. And she definitely doesn't expect to have her first fling. Once home again, Samara plans on going back to her old life, but soon figures out that isn't possible. Her house is broken into, a car almost runs her down, and someone is leaving sick messages on her front doorstep. Can she trust Connor to get her out of this mess alive-and with her heart intact? This book was previously published and has been revised from its original release.

Another winner by Arianna Hart. "Surprise" is the prequel to "Take Your Medicine" and Pamela P was nice enough to lend it to me so I could get the back story on Sam and Connor.
Samara is a quiet editor who spends most of her time alone. The craziest thing she's ever done was when she recently flew to Jamaica to get a break from the miserable New England winter and had a flaming one-nighter with a sexy man. But it doesn't take long for her to realize that she brought a little something extra back with her from Jamaica. When her house is broken into and she's almost the victim of a hit-and-run, Sam knows Connor the one-nighter is her best shot at protection.
Connor can't seem to forget about the gorgeous blonde, but his job as a DEA agent just doesn't lend itself to a relationship. While recuperating from a bullet would, he learns Samara has been trying to reach him and decides he might as well visit her in person. The first night he gets there, bad things start to happen around Samara and Connor's afraid he knows why.
A very entertaining story about falling in love on the run. Samara's surprise is a doozy, but Connor does a good job of handling things once his shock wears off. I really did enjoy the give and take between these two as they struggled to live with the fears that come with love. Hart does a great job of allowing us to 'see' the feelings and fears of both and I think that's one of the reasons I enjoy her stories so much. The only drawback for this story is that once you've read it, you'll HAVE to read the follow-on book!

I like her books. It's not erotica but romantic-suspense. She has a nice writing style and it's easy to read.

Surprise was a nice surprise! I loved the style of writing and the nice blend of romance with a little suspense. I will most definitely watch for more by this author. Recommended to people who love a little suspense with their romance.
