It's indeed rare for me to like a romance that does not give me details - as exclusive as possible - for the love scenes. But in this book's case, I feel like that hating the whole thing is not even an option.

Michaela Alberto is a delivery girl - for laundry - with little to no money in her name. During one of her delivery trips, she stumbles upon a crime scene, and ends up being targeted by dangerous criminals. Her only way of surviving is sticking close to Brant Jacobs, a mercenary whose show more mission involves securing an ancient sword.

Well, while the concept of the story was original, both of the main characters were not. We've seen Michaela's type before, and Brant's, too. There was also little actual lovemaking, and the reason behind Brant's organization was really an odd one - and a bit hard to be believable...

However, the book was full of action and humor, the kind you see in fast-paced movies. The dialogues were refreshing, and the way the couple interracted was cracking me up every single time.

Therefore, I have to admit it was a nice breather, and a good story to take a break once in a while in one's reading.

Wow! Zara Keane introduced me to this set by inviting me to the release party. What an incredible set of stories from gifted writers. The men of the selections are hot, sexy & ripped, total Alpha males. The women were no push overs though. They were called into action to help get their men & themselves out of jams. There was plenty of romance, sex, action & danger.

The Navy Seal's Accidental Wife - JD is a former Navy Seal that had a one night stand with a woman. It sounds typical because show more she became pregnant & he married her. However, he did have feeling for her, not just responsibility for their situation. However, right after they were married, he went undercover on an op near France & ended up being gone for months. Naomi became impatient with waiting & receiving no word from him. She accepted a job & went to France to work. JD's op blows up in his face & he goes looking for Naomi. Imagine his surprise when he goes to see her & ask for a second chance when he spots his target holding her hands! Zara has managed to fill this novella full of adventure & romance. She manages to hook you right away with JD finding out where his missing wife was & seeing his target with her. Then she leads you through twists & turns with JD & Naomi learning to trust each other again & ends with a master criminal that I never saw coming.

I've read several of the other novellas & you won't be disappointed with any of them. This is truly a set worth every penny! show less

This box contains ten novellas and all authors were new to me. The Haller story was terrible (there was no story, just a faint background to string the sex scenes together; plus this was not a stand-alone novella but merely a prequel to another book), and the James story was a dnf (1st person POV), but the remaining novellas were well written and fun to read.
All in all, if you like adventure and/or treasure hunts this box is well worth the money and a fun way to discover new authors.

This is a fun little paranormal romance. I really enjoyed reading about two very different magical beings. I am intrigued enough to want to read a bit more of this series.
