Product Description

What if the “one who got away”…didn’t? Deidre Nelson has never forgotten the man who stole her heart so effectively a decade ago. When circumstances bring her back to Ventura, Texas to look after her parents’ B&B, she prepares to face Jonas Mendez, the sexy wrangler-turned sheriff, with growing anticipation. Deidre’s engaging smile and seductive gaze has haunted Jonas for ten years. But life’s cruel ironies pepper his past, leaving him guarded and wary. He vows to keep his interaction with Deidre strictly professional while she’s in Ventura. But when vandalism at the B&B turns life-threatening, Jonas finds himself intimately involved with the one woman he has always wanted but never touched. As a decade of built-up anticipation becomes reality, suddenly the line between protector and possessor begins to blur. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex and graphic language.

More About the Author

Born and raised in the Southeast, award-winning, multi-published author Patrice Michelle gave up her financial calculator for a keyboard and never looked back. Thanks to an open-minded family who taught her that life isn't as black and white as we're conditioned to believe, she pens her novels with the belief that various shades of gray are a lot more interesting. She's a natural with a point-and-shoot camera, likes to fiddle with graphic design and, to the relief of her family, strums her guitar to an audience of one.

Patrice writes adult romance books under Patrice Michelle and young adult books under the name P.T. Michelle.

This is a story? This is nothing but two people having sex. There was literally no story. No wait: this is the story:

Diedre and Jonas knew each other in high school and had an attraction for each other, Jonas got engaged to some other girl. Diedre moved to New York after school. The girl cheated on Jonas. For TEN YEARS Diedre and Jonas have had no contact at all. Diedre goes to housesit at her parents' B&B in Texas. Jonas is the next door rancher/Sherriff. In one day Diedre and Jonas are all over each other, with Jonas telling Diedre he'll never marry. Diedre is disappointed to hear that. Then, page after page after page describes every second and action of their love-making: in the bed, against a tree, in the kitchen. Some kid burns down the barn at the B&B. Jonas quickly discovers the culprit. Diedre's parents return. Diedre prepares to go back to New York. (She's been there all of like maybe four days!) Jonas is disappointed. He goes home and finds Dierdre at his house. She says goodbye. They kiss. He tells her to stay. He wants to spend the rest of his life with her. She agrees. The End.

That is literally the whole story. Ridiculous. I've been reading some really light stories, but this one took the cake.

Instead of this, read "Gone With the Wind"!

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Anticipation (Kindle Edition)

Deidre Nelson is back in Ventura Texas watching over her parent's bed
and breakfast while they are away. Jonas Mendez is the town's sheriff.
The last time Deidre and Jonas saw each other was to say goodbye
before Deidre left for New York ten years ago.

Ten years is a long time, but the attraction that simmered between
Deidre and Jonas is as strong as ever and the anticipation of what
might become of it is even stronger!

Anticipation is the perfect title for Jonas and Deidre's story. I
love how they got back what they once had. Of course this time, it's
better than before! There is a lot of heat and heart in Anticipation;
it's a sexy and very romantic story.
