Contemporary Romance - romance, contemporary


This is such an enjoyable short story, as is the whole series. I wish more people would discover Elle Kennedy. Yes, the stories are short, but they are well written, sexy, hot, and pack a really good and complete story within the confines of a ss.



Each book is self-contained, but as each story is about a different member of SEAL Team 15, a lot of couples from previous books are touched upon, so it's best to start with the first one to get to know all the couples. Heat of the Night: Out of Uniform, Book 5

Be careful what you put on paper. It could come back to taunt and tease you...if you're lucky!!



What better way is there to be woken up then to have a sexy guy kissing your neck and running his hands over your body? Yeah, that would be sweet as long as you actually know the guy in question! It's a toss up who was more surprised Annabelle or Ryan when they realized the mistake. Conversely, their reactions were one of the things I liked about Heat of the Night. It was genuine. Where the author could have had Annabelle simply turn over and be just fine with some random guy crawling in bed with her, she had Annabelle screaming, kicking and reaching for a lamp to throw. The conversation between Annabelle and Ryan during the exchange was priceless!



In this fifth book of the Out of Uniform series we get to know Navy SEALs members, Ryan and Matt. While Matt isn't a major factor in this story, let's just say he leaves an indelible impression on Annabelle! I'm hoping Ms. Kennedy has one more Uniform story in mind so Matt can have his HEA as well.



You may remember Ryan from book four, Heat It Up. He is a complete charmer and Annabelle really has to put some effort into not giving into him from the get go. When she finally resolves her feelings regarding her recent breakup and decides to give Ryan a chance, the story really becomes interesting. Ryan challenges Annabelle's perception of what is right and what is just plain "fun" and dirty. On the other hand, Annabelle gets Ryan to open up about his terrible childhood and eventually his obsession with his best friend's girl. There is obvious personal growth for both Ryan and Annabelle that just added to the well thought out layers of the plot.



If you enjoy witty dialogue, sarcastic and sexy characters and a smoking HEA you will love Heat of the Night. This reviewer has added books 1 - 4 to her TBR list as well. There's just something about a man in (or out of) uniform!

This is the fifth instalment in the short story series Out of Uniform. This story, like the rest in the series, was well written and full of humor, romance and steamy scenes. This was a quick read. This is the story of Ryan and Anabelle. Ryan has always been a playboy, being one of the last remaining single guys among his friends. He gets into his neighbors bed looking for a night of fun, only shocked to find that the person in the bed was someone else. He grabs his clothes from the floor and leaves in a hurry. With his clothes, he finds a list that apparently his neighbor's sexy friend had written. It contained her fantasies and things she wanted to try. Ryan is determined to be the guy to make her fantasies come true. Anabelle was still shocked from the events, but couldn't help notice the man: he was gorgeous with a body to die for. Ryan looked wild and rugged, which was the complete opposite from the fiancee who dumped her and called her a prude. She decides to let loose and let Ryan make her fantasies come true. But what happens after the list is done? Only for you to find out....



This series short and sweet, but well written and fun to read. I love that we get to catch up with all the other couples from the previous books. It would probably be best to read the other books in order so you can understand the secondary characters and the history between all of them. - Alpha Male - Elle Kennedy - Contemporary - Romance'
