REVIEW:
Carin for My Reading
Obsession
Sweet Sexy Sadie is a
quick read with a fun plot line, Sadie is researching the migration of
butterflies for her thesis she meets Brody when her car overheats in the desert
pretty soon the car isn't the only thing overheating. Sadie also has a stalker
of a paranormal variety.
EXCERPT: Sweet Sexy Sadie
Sadie didn't know what to make of Brody. Exceptionally handsome and
charismatic, he'd made her smile the first time she saw him sauntering down the
road toward her. Good lord, but he looked as if he owned the world. Tall,
tanned from the sun, amber-green eyes that sparkled as if he saw some light
humor in everything. He was wiry and sleek; a quickness about him surprised
her. His blue-black hair was tied back with a leather thong, his chin angular.
Perhaps he did
own this part of the Sierra Madres. His family seemed to own most of this town.
Her research
had brought her to this place, Cactus Junction. Now the prospect of getting to
know an interesting man would be an added perk. In the bathroom she slipped out
of her clothes and into a tepid shower. A few minutes later she emerged squeaky
clean and ready for the next part of her adventure.
Unpacking her
clothes and taking out her laptop, she opened it. What do explosive experts do?
Hmmm....
Why, they blow up things. What would he blow up
around here?
Lord but that
sounded crazy to her. Before typing in the necessary info to pull something up
on Google, she leaned back, relaxing into her chair. The wallpaper was
outdated, and the old fan complimented the air conditioning. She realized she
liked the atmosphere.
Enough musing. Mining in the Sierra Madres. Let's
see, it says here they mined silver as early as 1521.
Sadie scrolled
down the paper. Ok… Montezuma, in 1492, was already drinking hot chocolate from
goblets made of gold. Maybe she should be studying this instead of her research
thesis. The migration of butterflies. Once she'd thought the topic was
romantic. Chasing after butterflies…
So what are they doing now? Junior drilling
companies… She wondered
if that was what the McKenna Clan was, a junior company. How soon was too soon
to ask? Probably not on their first dinner together. Knowledge brought power
and she firmly believed everything happened for a reason. Then her chance
encounter in this place was not a coincidence.
This says the
companies are drilling to find the ore. So… Do they still need explosives? If
not, he didn't do much for his day job. Perhaps the family had millions stashed
away. At first glance this hotel was theirs and Brody had told her the land
this town sat on belonged to them. But millions in the Caymans? Probably not.
She closed her
laptop. Then leaning back, she shut her eyes and tried to cleanse her mind of
all thought. A little catnap might be in order, but her heartbeat so fast she
didn't think sleeping was a plausible scenario. Eager to meet the McKenna Clan
and begin her research, her body was wound tight as a rubber band ready to
snap.
The bag of
chips in her purse seemed to call to her just after her stomach growled its
discontent. Trying to ignore the excessive calories and her empty belly, she
rose and wandered to the window. Dinner would be that much better if she
waited. Outside, the sun still beat down and one could see heat waves decorate
the street.
The air
conditioner chose that moment to blow out cold air. Sadie wrapped her arms
around herself then turned the monitor down a notch.
Back at the
window she looked at the street below. A man walked down the sidewalk, and as
he grew closer, he stopped and shielded his eyes then gazed up to her room.
Sadie's breath caught in the back of her throat and another chill swept through
her. This time it wasn't caused by the air conditioner. The sight of the man
sent an eerie feeling to the pit of her stomach. She stepped back in an attempt
to remove herself from his line of sight.
The knock
startled her away from the window. She jumped, afraid it might be the man she'd
just seen but knowing it wasn't.
"Sadie?
Sadie, you in there?" Brody called from outside the door. Damn, but she'd
recognize his voice anywhere. A smile crossed her face. She meant to forget the
stranger.
"Come
in." Sadie looked back to the street below. No one was there. Once again
she rubbed her arms. She felt as if a ghost had just swept through her, leaving
her cold from her core outward.
"You
okay?" Brody stepped inside, looking concerned.
"No, I
don't think so. I…" Pausing, she hesitated to tell him what had just
happened. What she'd felt. He'd think she was crazy.
BLURB
Maska O'keefe has loved the
beautiful shapeshifter for years. Unable to save her life years ago, he vows to
watch over her as he is given a second chance to convince her that even though
he is a witch and not a shifter, they are indeed soul mates. Kimi's divided
loyalties between her family and the cause she is now a part of will determine
their relationship. Only the part she plays as the messiah can bring this to a
conclusion in the final battle.
