Description:
Time travel is not for the weak of heart.

Alexander Karim, long-time friend of Brody, Veris and Taylor, has been questioning everything; his purpose in life and his identity as a vampire and a doctor.  Even his long time pursuit of the lovely but reluctant police lieutenant Sydney Stevens is on shaky ground.

Life tosses him a curve ball when Alex learns that Brody’s trial lawyer, Rayner De Leon, the youngest appeal court judge in the state, is attracted to Alex.  Rayner is a vampire, Rafael, who has known Brody and Veris since the fifth century.  Alex warily allows Rafael to seduce him, and the affair has surprising results for both of them.

But then a deliberate hit and run tosses Sydney back into Alex’s life and this time, her defenses are down and she is vulnerable.  But there are unanswered questions surrounding Sydney.  Who tried to kill her?   And why is she insisting that Alex was there, when he doesn’t remember it that way?

When a kiss sends Alex and Sydney back to Alex’s beloved desert, and he realizes that Taylor is not the only one who can time travel, the questions pile up like gunpowder.  The flint that strikes the spark is Sydney’s past, which is exposed when Rafael reaches through time and uncovers her dangerous secret.

The explosion that follows is both deadly and tragic, reaching out to touch everyone’s lives.

Warning:  This time travel menage romance features two super-hot alpha vampire heroes, multiple sex scenes, including anal sex, MM sexual play, and MMF sex.  Do not read this book if frank sexual language and sex scenes offend you.
The time-space continuum was restored to order at the end of this book.  Promise.

 
Review:

As you can see, the blurb about the book tells you all of the plot points, so I’ll just jump right in with my thoughts on this one. I’ve read the previous books in this series and really enjoyed them. I’ve enjoyed getting to know Veris, Brody, Taylor and their children. Kiss Across Deserts by Tracy Cooper-Posey begins with Brody’s trial preparations, which you learn about in a previous book. Alex, a close friend of the aforementioned group, has been attracted to Sydney for an entire year. And for an entire year, Sydney has rejected his advances. Repeatedly. Until Sydney’s life is threatened and she sees him in a whole new light.

As they grow closer, Alex expresses his views on life which sends Sydney running. Seems Sydney has some secrets of her own and hasn’t truly dealt with her past. Of course, Alex is devastated. And the tenuous relationship that he had started with Rafe crashes as well. Alex tries to move on and then one day a chance meeting in the park leaves him devastated. Whom does he see? Sydney………….and Rafe. This is where it got kind of wonky for me. Anyway, once the threat grows more serious and ultimately involves Veris, Brody and Taylor, it takes all of them to make things right and eliminate the threat. Marit, Taylor’s eight year old, plays a big part in helping them eliminate said threat and that part will leave you smiling. BIG! And, it was not a big surprise when the identity of the threat was revealed. But, the fact that Marit aided them was an awesome addition to the storyline.

I enjoyed Kiss Across Deserts, but I didn’t love it. Where Veris, Brody and Taylor’s storyline built over time, this one felt a bit forced to me. I liked the characters, but some of the chemistry felt off. You will find yourself cheering for Sydney when her past is revealed, and I liked her with Alex. I liked Alex with Rafe, but I never bought into Sydney and Rafe, nor the three of them together. I can only hope that the next installment will build on their chemistry and tell us more about them. Or, flash forward and tell Marit’s story! That, my friends, will be a story that I can’t wait to read.

DESCRIPTION:
New York cop Sherry Abandonato cashes in her savings and dashes to Ningaloo in remote northwest Western Australia to find her sister who disappeared ten days ago. The only one with the skill to guide her to Derremawan is Mason Hayward, once an official guide with a reputation for getting people out of trouble, but now the town’s bad man.

In a searing afternoon of unexpected passion, Mason strikes a bargain. He’ll get her to Derremawan, if she agrees to go there with him unconditionally, on his terms and his conditions.

Sherry is astonished to find herself agreeing to the insane bargain, and worse, responding positively to the idea of three days of Mason Hayward dictating terms out under the Australian sun.

 

REVIEW:

3.5 out for 5 for this reader folks!

Ningaloo Nights by Tracy Cooper-Posey is a short erotic, with BDSM elements story set in Australians outback where the heat comes from more than just the scorching sun.  

Sherry Abandonato is a New York cop that decides to fly to Australia after her sister goes missing.  After speaking with the locals she decides to seek out a tour guide (who just so happens to have a no nonsense mentality and the sex appeal to go with it .. WINK) to take her into the dangerous countryside to try and figure out what happened to her sister.

Mason Hayward is somewhat taken back with Sherry.  She exibits the tough New York cop mentality (and the potty mouth to match ..lol), but he sees something vunerable and “shielded” within her.  He is set to break down those walls when he accepts this job.

Within minutes of meeting these two are engaging in the hot and somewhat heavy.  From there an unspoken “this is going to happen” is understood between them and off they set on their trip.

We encounter some pretty heated sexy scenes along the way with Mason most certainly being the dominant trying to entice Sherry into trusting enough to submit.  Also, they come to know each other on a emotional level and discover they both harbor some serious heartache from their pasts.

Okay so that is the gest of the story.  Honestly for a less than 100 page story, this was hot and I was entertained.  My only true “beef” with it was that everything came on so quick so it felt a little unbelievable at times.  I think perhaps with a few more pages, we may have been able to enjoy a little bit more anticipation and seen them develop as a couple

Overall, a great quick read that I gobbled in one sitting.  If you like the smutty, especially the smutty in the sun … grab an iced tea and settle in!  LOL

HAPPY READING!
