Paradise turned out to be one big disaster! With her passionate affair with the star quarterback Aiden Knight left dangling in the tropical wind, Miranda Hunter packs up her bikini and returns home, broken hearted. Just when she thinks her life couldn’t get more miserable, an armed thug threatens to rob HOT & GLAZED, the donut shop she and her sister own. Saved by FBI Special Agent Connor O'Leary, she seeks comfort in his strong arms. Unable to resist this agent known for being an all around badass, she takes off with him to a secluded mountain cabin where inhibitions are forgotten. Wow! This donut shop diva never knew playing with a dangerous man could be so addicting. Will her new addiction be enough to heal her heart, or will she still yearn for the sexy quarterback?
Miranda can't help but notice the hot new customer that's been coming around and staying longer than average customers would. Never did she expect him to save her life, though. Connor O' Leary is a Boston Irish FBI Agent. He's divorced and recently moved to Denver to be closer to his six-year old son. Neither expected an attempted armed robbery moments after introductions were made, but that's exactly what happened. The life-threatening occurrence may have amplified the mild attraction, but Miranda is still hung up on Aiden. Connor's a gentleman, but intense and protective. ------------------------- I'm a little on the fence with Miranda in this segment. The plot flows smoothly but centers primarily around an afternoon at his house followed by two days at a cabin in the mountains. The conflicting issues are still present and there's no solid conclusions as of yet. Thankfully, the predictability is practically non-existent. To be continued... in Hot and Hooked. ------------------------- Rating: 4.1 Stars: 4 -------------------------
Miranda learns some unorthodox martial arts moves on a mat with a very hot detective, then travels with him to a remote mountain lodge for more exciting hands-on training. Sizzling fun!
