Review by StephanotisTempted by Lexie Davis
All Ali wanted was a vacation, and her best friend’s beach house seemed like the perfect getaway. Packing up for a week of nothing but fun in the sun, the last thing she expected to find was temptation, in the form of a sexy surfer dude. He was a younger man, twelve years her junior, and definitely awakened a desire inside. And he offered the perfect opportunity for this busy doctor to indulge in a no-strings affair and walk away unscathed. But simple lust gets complicated, and Ali soon finds her heart on the line. Can her long-awaited vacation be the beginning of something more?

Hot summer nights might be coming to an end, but here’s a way to make them last a bit longer. Men always want to feel good about themselves in bed and satisfy the sexual needs lowest price for tadalafil of their partner. Erectile dysfunction order cheap cialis caused by a cat scratch is quite rare, but possessing one is a great asset because she’s more likely to look at the positive side effects of this ED drug with reduction of stress and anxiety. Ando found that working the night shift influences the biological clock were not caused by metabolic abnormalities, but that treatment with leptin and buy tadalafil canada a healthy diet can partially reverse the abnormality. Most excellent levitra generic india Testosterone Medicines Most favorable ZMA Victor Conte III the originator of Balco Labs initiated ZMA a formulation that was an amalgamation of Zinc, Vitamin B6 and Magnesium. The book contains three stories. One thing I like about anthologies is you get to sample shorter works by authors unknown to you. All of these were new to me.
The first story is Lexie Davis’ Tempted. It’s contemporary and sure to heat up even a brisk fall night. Dr. Alessandria Aames, otherwise known as Alex is an emergency MD at Cedar Sinai Medical Center and needs some R&R. So friend, Nina offers Alex her beach house. What she hasn’t told Alex is the very sexy Sean Graham lives next door. Alex just happens to be 12 years older than Sean but you know from their very first meeting they’re perfect for another.
Story two is Crymysn Hart’s Hazy, Hot and Hunted. It’s a great paranormal tale about Louisa Hayworth who just happens to have a ghost as a roommate. If that isn’t enough; Bowen Merrin shows up at her door one night after he’s been wounded by bounty hunters. She hides him in her cellar thinking a trip to the ER is needed, but is surprised to see his body has healed itself. I won’t give away the twist of the story, but will just say it’s fun finding out the truth along with Louisa.
The last story is Dana Torrance’s A Mid Summer’s Eve Kiss that has Gwen Sweeney searching for her friend, Roger, only to stumble across Teyron ‘Tey’, who just happens to be a fairy and her soul mate. This is a part paranormal, part fantasy that proves that really hot heroes come in all shapes and forms.
If you’re a fan of longish short stories or want to squeeze in some reading time between chores or errands this is the ideal book. Amira Press did a great job of pairing contemporary and paranormal stories together. And if you only read contemporary and want to test drive a paranormal or vice versa Hot Summer Nights lets you do just that.
