As I'm used to by Jess Dee RED RED WINE is hot, well-written and different from other erotic romances. Only Jess Dee can have a jilted bride hooking up with someone else within hours of finding out her fiancé is not going to marry her and make it emotionally believable and acceptable for me. I loved Andrew and his knickers-stealing ways. He was sweet, caring and dirty all in one package. I also loved Tori and how she didn't jump head fiirst into a new relationship but took her time to find herself and her independence.
Though SUMMER WINE is still my favorite in this series (hey...I have a weakness for ménages okay?) I really enjoyed this second book in the series. Next to the scorching sexy scenes and despite the mere 165 pages I wa streated to a lovely and emotional love story with backstories that made the characters relatable and gave them depth. It might have had an unconventional start but that's no surprise where Jess Dee's writing is concerned as she never takes the easy well-trodden path to her characters' HEA.
Memorable Scene:
- the one in Andrew's room > as hot and dirty as should be expected from Jess Dee
Favorite Quotes:
“You do have a great ass. But I could have told you that all along.”
“You did tell me that.”
“I did?”
“Yeah. Right after you ran circles around me trying to check it out.”
“I did not.”
“Oh, yeah, sweetheart, you did too.”
She frowned at him. “Don’t remember.”
He chuckled. “I’m not terribly surprised.”
“That I don’t remember or that I said you have a great ass?”
“That you don’t remember. Your exact words were, ‘Great buns, and that’s not the wine talking. Although if wine could talk, I bet it would say the same thing’.”
She blinked at him. “I said that out loud?”
“You said that out loud.”
She closed her eyes with a groan. “Oh, God. I know I thought it, I just never realized I’d vocalized it.”
“You did,” he assured her. “Right before you told me I’d been wrong about the whole sexiest-ass-in-the-Hunter thingy.”
“Thingy?”
“Your word, not mine.”
It seemed to go on and on and on, shaking her all the way through to her bones.
Violent tingles erupted in her groin, spreading through her body. The tremors that had overwhelmed her minutes ago now turned to full-blown shudders.
