On the surface it has it all-great romance between a smart strong woman and a yummy alpha male; well written plot; good characters and well-explained motivation, suspense, and very few editing errors. But it takes so long to get where it’s going….~ Shadow, Guilty Pleasures
Description:
As the chopper pilot for the elite Search and Rescue team Lifeline, Erin Tate is used to handling power. Calling the shots in the air is one thing—in the bedroom it leaves her cold. What she wants is a man strong enough to strip away her control.
Paramedic Timothy Dextor has a wildcard reputation, and the dark appetites to prove it. The only thing missing is a woman he can share them with. Landing a position on the Lifeline squad puts his old flame back within reach. He already knows what Erin needs, and this time he’s not letting her go..
But when an emergency throws Erin and Timothy together in ways they hadn’t anticipated, the stakes are raised—on the job and off. Now they’ll both discover the real meaning of control…and the risks that come from falling in love.
Review copy provided for an honest review
For some reason, I just could not stay interested in this book. On the surface it has it all-great romance between a smart strong woman and a yummy alpha male; well written plot; good characters and well-explained motivation, suspense, and very few editing errors. But it takes so long to get where it’s going that the reader loses interest.
Erin is a pilot for a mountain search and rescue team. She is shocked one day to find former boyfriend Tim Dexter is a new member of her team. Like Erin, Tim is an outstanding search and rescue team member, a paramedic who is not afraid to take chances. He’s also a Dom, and someone who scared Erin years before because she was afraid she would lose herself. He’s back to see if he and Erin can make a relationship work.
The book includes bondage, exhibitionism, a temporary ménage relationship, and more. Once the sex scenes are added, the book starts to pick up, but not enough. The combination of the slow approach to their relationship and the excessive details of several rescue operations just made the entire book slow. I put it down and forgot to pick it back up numerous times. This may be the perfect book for a reader who wants this kind of detail, but for me, it was a bit of a disappointment. Usually, a book like this would earn a top rating, but it just dragged a little too much to reach that point.
