Hurricane Warning
A hurricane! Just what Linda Morrison needs. Fearing her recent purchase may end up a bundle of sticks, she’s relieved when a hero swoops in wearing a yellow slicker and offering help. Carlos Mejia is eye candy for sure, but she needs those muscles to help board up the window. Together they ride out the storm raging outside, but inside there’s more than a little electricity in the air.

About the author
Ginger Simpson
52 books27 followersGinger Simpson grew up reading anything by Laura Ingalls Wilder and became so fascinated with western historical novels, they've remained her favorite for more years than she cares to admit.
In 2002, Ginger decided to attempt writing her own novel, and in 2003 her first offering, Prairie Peace, was published. Since then, she's dabbled in other genres but always seems to migrate back to her favorite historical era.
At the beginning, Ginger accepted contracts with e-publishers with the realization her work would not be offered in actual stores, rather made available for sale by download or ordering through Internet sites. At the time, the reward of acceptance was enough, and the prayer that downloadable books would grow in popularity seems to have come to pass. Ginger admits she's no spring chicken, and her final goal is to see at least one of her works available in an actual "brick and mortar" store just so she can nod when someone asks if Walmart sells her books.
She's often joked that she may have to sneak a book into Walmart and leave it on the shelf next to one of Nora Robert's novels, but that's not really how she'd like her next novel to get there. Besides, there's probably a law that prohibits such a deed. She's already worked in a jail, so she doesn't care to experience the other side of the bars. Note from Ginger (2011): I actually did "sneak" a book into Walmart and take a picture of it on the "best sellers" shelve. I have the photo to prove it. I got a few weird looks from nearby people, but I didn't get arrested or escorted from the store. *smile*)

"Hurricane Warning" is a very quick read, and is perfect for a much-needed break from your day. The passion is just enough to warm your insides, without going into overdrive. The obvious attraction between Linda and Carlos is also very passionate, and will ignite your senses.

A short, sweet romance. Well-written. I'm not a big romance fan, but this was decent for the length and how the couple meets cute.

A fun short story. Fantasy? Sure. Who wouldn't like a hunky guy to rescue them during a storm? Ginger Simpson takes us on a flight of fancy and into the arms of a very helpful neighbour.

This was a freebie from Amazon. It was very short and easy to read. It was also disappointing. It had potential, but it fell flat. No character development and no heat.

A fun fast read. Sweetly romantic with some lovely descriptions.
