Alone With You
Lisa Ann Verge
SYNOPSIS
The sexy-as-sin stranger leaned his six-foot frame against the doorjamb and stripped off her towel with his gaze. Then he asked what the hell she was doing in his cabin.
His cabin? She had a key from the owner. He sank a hand into a pocket and pulled out a match.
No way was she letting a man into her sanctuary. She wasn’t a people-person in the best of times. How was she going to get any work done under the glow of that slow-fuse grin?
But what choice did she have? It was only for two weeks.
Hardly long enough for any man to seduce her...never mind melt her frozen heart.
Alone with you is a sexy, stuck-together, enemies-to-lovers romance, the first book in the Cabin Fever Series. It can be read as a stand-alone, with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
REVIEW
Lisa Ann Verge is known for charming hunks of male flesh that ladies turn into melting puddles of passion when they get within range, no matter the defense system they have built around themselves. Alone With You is no exception to this scenario. From the opening gambit, our strapping but wounded of spirit doctor (aka the charming male) sends the bombshell unsuspecting lady into a tizzy of visceral reactions as she first lays eyes on his smoldering form standing in the door of HER bedroom as she steps from the shower… GREAT opening. Not necessarily great way to meet a guy, LOL, but Lisa had me hook-line-and-sinker for the rest of the book from that opening of chapter one.
Lisa is one that doesn’t settle for shallow romance novels. Her stories are filled with a depth of character to her protagonists. She takes the time to drill them down so that you feel like you lived next door to them for years and have had traded postcards from the far corners of the earth over the years. You feel their pain, you giggle at their foibles, and all but reach into the page to pull them back from their worst mistakes. In short, Lisa allows her characters to be so human, you can feel their breath fluttering the pages of the book and steaming your glasses as your nose inches closer and closer to the action.
Add to this her scientific knowledge, there is accuracy and living convincing detail in her storylines that carry the story forward with interesting details that keeps this person on the edge of her seat. I can see, feel, and smell the wilderness scenes that a good portion of this book takes place in. Only someone who has spent a significant time out there and knows and understands the fauna and flora and the science of it could weave it into the storyline like a second skin.
This book has been worth the wait to get back into reading a story by Lisa Ann Verge. I look forward to the next in her series. She is getting better with time and life, if that is possible.
