Welcome also to Steamy Saturdays!

This is the day of the week where I post a review for a book that is on the steamier side of romance.  Last week and this week I’ve featured a two book series – both Harlequin Blaze and both by Karen Foley! I loved these books so much I want to pass them on to someone else who will love them also!  Last week’s book was Coming Up for Air and this week I’m featuring No Going Back.  Enjoy! If you are interested in getting both books, fill out the form at the end of the post.

sugarbeat's books romance books romance novel reviews historical contemporary eroticaSubject: Army Special Ops Major Chase Rawlins
Current Status: On tour in Afghanistan
Mission: Babysitting civilians
Obstacle: Keeping his mind on his duty…and his hands off a certain sexy civvy

Major Chase Rawlins is one of the toughest military SOBs around. His job? Take out terrorists. So why is he escorting publicist Kate Fitzgerald around the base in order to prep for a visiting pop star? It’s the last thing he wants to do. Even if Kate does make his blood run hotter than the Afghan desert….

Thanks to her starlet half sister, Kate is used to “challenging” situations. But when Major Sexypants informs her that he will handle all of her needs, Kate finds herself tempted to do her own reconnaissance…under Chase’s uniform!

One week. One chance. And once they start, there’s no going back!

No Going Back is the second book in a miniseries that Karen Foley is writing!  Harlequin Blaze has been producing a Uniformly Hot Series for some time now.  No Going Back and Coming up for Air are about a set of twins – Chase and Chance Rawlins are twins, both in the military and both serving in Afghanistan.  Chance, a helicoptor pilot was the subject of Coming up for Air, and Chase is in the Special Forces and the subject of No Going Back.

Both of these books are incredibly hot, but romances about twins have always fascinated me.  These two men are enough alike in looks to be mistaken by their live interests, yet the women that they are interested in are very different.

Chase is pulled from his mission hunting down a bad guy and assigned to watch over a VIP.  This VIP is Kate Fitzgerald who has come over in advance of her famous sister’s arrival to make sure that everything is in place.  Certainly out of her element on a military base, Kate shows that she can’t be intimidated, and Chase likes that in a woman.  The sparks fly between them almost immediately.  Chase goes into protective mode and makes sure that nothing happens to Kate during her time on the various bases.

This book, like Coming up for Air, has excellent characters that mesh well.  The storyline moves along at a fast rate and keeps the reader engrossed for the few hours it takes to devour this book.

Certainly a great little read – enter to win a copy of both books!

Coming Up for Air by Karen Foley

Welcome to Sugarbeat’s Books – The Home of the Romance Novel!

Welcome also to Steamy Saturday!

This is the day that I  post a review for a romance that I have read the is on the steamy site of romance.  You should all know by now that I love the Blaze books that arrive in my mailbox every month.  I have really been enjoying the Uniformly Hot series!  Here’s another edition of hotness in Blaze style!
Coming Up for Air by Karen Foley
ISBN: 978-0-373-79686-1
Release: May 2012
Publisher: Harlequin Blaze

sugarbeat's books romance books romance novel reviews historical contemporary eroticaBlurb:
Subject: Army Major Chance Rawlins, Helicopter Pilot
Current Status: Soon-to-be-deployed to Afghanistan
Mission: Report to Captain Jenna Larson for a sexy, one-night inspection
Obstacle: She’s mistaken him for another man

Major Chance Rawlins has a bit of a reputation, both in and outside of the helicopter cockpit.  He’s a hotshot, and he knows it.  But when he enjoys a spontaneously naughty night with Captain Jenna Larson, Chance realizes Jenna has no idea who he is…and that she’s mistaken him for his twin brother!

Since it was just a one-nighter, Chance decides not to give the game away.  But when their paths cross again in the dry heat of Afghanistan, Chance sees an opportunity to show Jenna exactly who he is – and what he can do to her.  After all, the best pilots know when to hold back…and when to engage in a little sexy fire!

Coming Up for Air is another book in the Uniformly Hot series from Blaze!  There is something seriously hot about this group of books!  I’ve enjoyed each and every one so far.  This story is about Major chance Rawlins, a seriously hot helicopter pilot who is only a few days away from another deployment on Afghanistan.  He flies Apache helicopters and has a twin brother who is Special Forces.  It seems that although they look alike, they are very different in personalities.  Captain Jenna Larson spots Chance at a bar and decides to pick him up.  Her best friend and co-pilot,  Laura Costanza assures Jenna that the man she’s interested in is Special Forces, not a pilot, and not off limits as far as military rules are concerned.  How wrong she is!  Image her surprise when she runs into Chase again in Afghanistan and he doesn’t appear to recognize her.  If that doesn’t steam her britches, running into him a few hours later in the base gym does.  How could he possibly run hot and cold like that?  She certainly finds out – imagine her surprise! Twins!

This book is not only hot, and fast paced, and full of military action, but it is an interesting commentary on the military.  It is interesting as a member of the general public to read a story filled with military details on fraternization and military assaults.  I’m not generally interested in action stories, but this was so well written that I just raced through trying to get to the end of each action segment.  Well written and an enjoyable read!
