Reverend Nathan Andrews is a new graduate of the seminary. Taking his first assignment as a minister to a mountain community in the Appalachian Mountains, he spends his days traveling around the mountain meeting his church members. On one such day, Nathan is stunned to come across an earthy beauty named Grace picking blackberries. No matter that he prides himself on his ability to remain chaste, Nathan suddenly wants this stunningly beautiful woman with every beat of his heart and if her eyes are telling the truth, she wants him just as much.

Achingly poignant: if I had to describe Blackberry Pie, I would use those two words. Achingly: because Nathan was a man of God, but a man first and foremost. Poignant: because a relationship between a preacher and a simple country girl would have been frowned upon during the time period Blackberry Pie took place. Nathan's inability to stop thinking about Grace made me smile. Grace's simple, yet completely accurate outlook on love and life was almost prophetic.

Bonnie Dee got me right in the heart with Blackberry Pie and I thought about this book for hours after reading it. It was earthy, it was sensual, and I adored every word.

Katie Mayes has her dream job: being a high powered executive for a high end resort has her living the life. A life that includes summer escapades with the Entertainment Director, Caleb Beckett, her subordinate, and a definite no-no in the eyes of her boss. Being told to break things off or risk losing her job has Katie torn between the hot loving she's come to crave like her next breath, or keeping her job that she loves with just as much passion. It may have been easier to make the break if lust and sex didn't just turn into love and the chance at forever.

In another explosive summer addition, heat has nothing on the intimate trysts between Katie and Caleb. Open, daring and a no holds barred evening of lust made Liaisons in Jubilee sinful to read and a delight to experience. I guess it's true that A-type personalities excel at everything, including passionate sex that could make more glaciers melt than the warming taking place on the planet. Can't wait to see what Jamie Craig has in store for their readers next, I'm sure if this juicy morsel is anything to go by, then I better make sure I keep my fan close by.
