Fearless

By Tina Michele

Jillian Marshall is living her perfect dream. All she’s ever wanted is to be a dolphin trainer, and she’s going on eighteen years doing just that at Tampa’s Marine Research Institute. Her devotion to education and her dedication to the conservation of marine mammals consume her heart and soul. Romance isn’t exactly on her agenda.

When Laura Carter applied to the institute’s thirty-six-week, intensive training program, she left out one important detail—the tragic accident that changed her entire life and left her terrified of drowning. A brilliant animal behaviorist, Laura must decide just how hard she’s willing to fight to fulfill her dreams and overcome her nightmares.

Falling in love is the easy part, but when Jillian puts her career on the line to help Laura overcome her fear, will she lose everything?

The Naked Truth

By Sandy Lowe

When Rowan Marks signs up to be a research subject in a study on sexual fantasies, she's not looking forward to baring her soul to PhD candidate and head researcher Genevieve Fielding. But she's running out of choices. Her fantasies are as unsettling as they are arousing, and she has to make them stop. Who better to help than the quietly gorgeous, future Dr. Sex-Fantasies-Are-My-Specialty?

Genna isn't what you'd call a people person. Breaking the rules and compromising her objectivity by helping a subject with real-life problems? Hard no. She's not capable and not qualified. But Rowan won't be deterred, and Genna has to learn to apply her findings in a clinical setting or risk losing a prestigious grant.

As one intimate confession leads to another, and the professional blurs into the personal, powerful attraction threatens to overwhelm their better judgement. How far are they willing to go, and how much will they risk, to make their most captivating and forbidden fantasies a reality?

Writ of Love

By Cassidy Crane

Kelly Lattimore dreams of using her legal skills to help those in need, but practicalities force her into the soul-crushing world of Big Law. Despite the shock of a one-night stand being her new boss, she’s determined to excel…and maybe even make her family proud of her for once.

As cutthroat as she is beautiful, the last thing high-powered attorney Jillian Briggs is looking for is an office romance. Still smarting from her divorce, she distracts herself with work and casual sex. She never planned to mix the two, but when Kelly turns out to be her new associate after their night of passion, Jillian’s carefully partitioned life is turned on its head.

Try as they might, Kelly and Jillian can’t resist their attraction. They’re determined to keep their connection purely physical, but the more time they spend together, the harder it gets to ignore their hearts.

- ... Makes me think of the movie, Imagine you and me. I really enjoyed the setting and the interaction with the marine life. Laura Carter, dealing with the aftermath of a tragedy while working to find her footing with the assistance of a strong family. Jill Marshall, works her dream career, focused, not looking for a relationship but who can and does not notice an attractive woman. If you like instant love, this is the read for you. Laura and Jill are drawn to each other and it just so happens they are good for each other. The setting is interesting, the people for the most part are fun to be around and good at what they do,

- Jillian is the head of Dolphin Training (or, all training too?) at Tampa Aquarium sort of place. She loves her job and her dolphin pod. There's a new group of Interns in their intensive training program. Laura is one of them and she has a big big secret she's keeping from everyone. Nope, not that's she's a lesbian, that would sorta be an entirely different book then, heh. She's afraid of the water because of something in her past.
  
  Of course, people do find out her secret, and as Jillian tries to help her overcome her fear, they gets closer and closer in the usual sort of way, with some big bumps, and some humongous bumps, and some littler bumps too.
  
  It was a great read. I really liked the Dolphin stuff (go Pepper!!), and sometimes it almost felt like I could smell the fish smells...

- Six stars? Can I give six stars to this book? Because it is perfect! It ticks all the boxes of what I love to read and left me completely happy and gazing off into space while sighing.
  
  What do I love about this book?
  
  The cover: dolphins and sunlight, yes please! This is a beautiful cover that just begged me to find out what was behind it and I am so glad it did. I mean, dolphins? Yes please!
  
  The setting: the author really knows the area and it shows. The details are perfect and ring true about the Floridian weather and the institute itself.
  
  The characters: I couldn’t stop my happy squeals when I noticed our two MCs bear a resemblance to another famous duo we in the lesfic world all know and love. The focus of the story is on Jillian, the super-hot director, and Laura, a sweet and awkward young woman who is fighting with the demons of her past with dignity and strength—and is training under the supervision of Jillian. This is a slight age-gap, but Laura is older than the other trainees and she is mature, kind and did I mention awkward? She makes some hilarious blunders and is never hesitant to laugh at herself.
  
  Our MCs aren’t perfect, they make mistakes and have flaws, but they are both strong and absolutely smoking hot together.
  
  The secondary characters don’t overpower the narrative and I really like the relationship Laura has with BJ, her fellow trainee who proves himself a true friend and ally throughout.
  
  The plot: this book has everything I love to read about, from the sexually-charged first meeting to the surprise second meeting, the aspect of forbidden love, the push-pull of undeniable attraction right from the first moment, and of course the sizzling hot love scenes. The plot deals with some heavy issues, mainly PTSD but that is balanced out by funny moments that are sprinkled through the narrative. I laughed out loud a few times, probably scaring the other people on the train, most notably when Laura is unable to find her pocket and has an adorably hilarious inner monologue about pants.
  
  I also love their job! The author really researched the topic and doesn’t pull punches with the gory behind-the-scenes aspects of taking care of living beings. The story overflows with love, understanding and respect for sea life. Both Laura and Jillian are as devoted to the work as they are each other and makes the inevitable conflict that much more heartbreaking.
  ...
  ...I heartily recommend it to anyone who has ever has a childhood dream they wished could come true or who is battling to overcome some trouble whether it is a traumatic event or a fear that is holding them back. The only complaint I have about this book is that it’s finished and I can’t read about The Further Adventures of Jillian and Laura and Their Happy and Hot Sexytimes. *pouts*
  
  My rating: the maximum amount of stars!
