Small but concise - could be a sample for another book
Good story, nice description and intro of the main characters. Steamy, well described sex scenes. Could be a sample for a larger book. Can stand as a novella.
I was captured by how two people that were both betrayed could find each other. The scene in the rain was hot and I had to continue reading but was so disappointed when book one ended. I wanted to find out what happens to them.
Ari the MFC, has given it all to her fiance only to be screwed over by her fickle love. Desperation has landed her on a cattle ranch and exposed to even more desperation. What will she do?
Really quick but really a story needing to be finished. Ariana wounded, Cody wounded by their fiancées running out on them with each other. What a tangled web with so much promise!
I absolutely loved reading about Ariana and Cody. Lucia you have outdone yourself with this awesome. I cannot wait to find out what happens next. If you enjoy undeniable attraction, you will want to get this asap.
Aff! I need a moment to take a breath! It is one of the most hot and breath taking novela that Lucia published! A very unpleasant situation that led this couple, Ari and Cody, to cross their paths and have the opportunity to change their future!
