“Tough Love.” Vanity Baker knows what she wants is MMA light-heavyweight
Stack “The Wolf” Hannigan. However, she
also realizes to become his permanent she-wolf, Vanity has to overcome his
aversion to commitment. Hoping he will
make a move, Vanity remained patient only outrageously flirting with her secret
love for a few months. When that
strategy fails, she persuades him to accept a casual deal: if he escorts her to
a family wedding, she will have no string sex with him. Though the lessons learned growing up as part
of a disturbed dysfunctional family prove difficult to overcome, Stack needs to
convince Vanity he wants more than a friends with benefits relationship.
“Back to Buckhorn.” Pet
groomer Zoey Hodge left Buckhorn, Kentucky the
first chance she had with no plans of returning except for short visits to see
her mom. When her mom becomes very ill,
Zoey comes home to help her recover.
Firefighter Garrett Hudson loved Zoey’s wit in high school, but desires
her even more now. His mission is to
persuade her that they belong together forever.
The third Ultimate (see No Limits and Holding
Strong) is an enjoyable contemporary due to the fascinating protagonists
plotting their respective next steps though ignoring a serious discussion when one is desperately
needed. Series fans will relish the
first print copy of this pleasant Buckhorn e-book prequel even if the stars’
love overcomes their tsuris rather abruptly.
