For
Marine Darnell Wright, a little R&R was what he needed from the sand and
warfare of Afghanistan. One more tour of duty and he can then figure out what
he wanted to do with the rest of his life. But first, he wanted to get a drink,
kick back and watch the hot guys walking around the strip in Key West. Darnell
just never anticipated in seeing the one face that had caused him so much pain
years before. Can he forgive Brent for the deception he plays on Darnell and
finally get that happily ever after he longed for with the man he always loved?
Cassandre
Dayne delivers a short novella that will surely keep you on the edge of your
seat and eager for more. Her lyrical writing style captured my imagination and
I almost thought I could feel the hot sun on my face as the ocean waves crashed
ashore nearby. Here she weaves a spell around her readers with a tale of a
marine on an R&R vacation and looking for sinful fun. What he gets is so
much more. The writing is tight; story moves at a nice, even pace and the
characters are intriguing. What I do wish was that this was a bit longer
story-wise. I could sense there was so much more to be said for Darnell and
Brent, together and separately. The characters are intriguing; especially Brent
and Darnell’s sisters who like to meddle. I won’t tell you what they did if you
haven’t read this one yet but needless to say I was giggling over their
remarks.
Meet
Darnell Wright, a marine who has been stationed in Afghanistan for almost a
year. Getting two weeks R&R in Key West has him anxious to experience the
atmosphere here. I enjoyed Darnell though I have to admit I felt he made it too
easy for Brent to win him back. I wished he made it a bit rougher for Brent.
Brent Majors is a man who knows what he is and wants…and he wants Darnell
Wright back in his life. Brent was a character I had a hard time sympathizing
with initially. There was just something about him that made me question his
motives, especially when he meets up with Darnell again. The secondary
characters are interesting and kept the story going nicely.
HOT
SUMMER NIGHTS: KEY WEST is a short, sexy read that is perfect for a quick read
at lunch or on a break. If you need a quick, pick me up, then I highly
recommend the Hot Summer Nights stories to help you heat things up on an
otherwise cold day. I can’t wait to see where else this author sets her Hot
Summer Nights stories in. I am sure it will be just as hot there as it was in
this one.
