off the radar you never saw them coming.

Is it love? Is it
lust? Or is it just what happens during the holidays?

Soo this is my first book I have read by EM Abel, holy cow, I really love her writing style. This is why I love reading these anthology's cuz you can find new authors to read as well!!

Coming home is about Samantha coming back home after years of being away. She comes home at the request of her sister. While on the road but close to home, she ends up running off the road and is in need of some assistance. The tow truck guy comes up and low and behold its a guy she remembers from high school, she could never forget those beautiful green eyes!! He had always been so mysterious and rarely spoke to anyone. At first she doesn't think he recognized her, but ohhh yes, he does remember, he was just waiting for the right time to let her know that he surely did remember her. Sooo now you need to read the book to find out what happens next!! lol

This is where she met, actually reunited with a guy she had slept with over 15 years ago. But she was much older now and she was a little nervous about her body and how it had changed over the years, but she was a firm believer in that the naked body is beautiful and shouldn't be hidden away so she decided to just go with it and see what happens next. They end up picking up where they left off 15 years ago and decide to spend the next several days together, they come up with a Naughty List to act out over these several days they are spending together. Ohh yess, you have to read what was on this list and see if they get through them all!!

Dane was at his Christmas party, feeling sorry for his self, he was 47, almost divorced and here he was sitting at this Christmas party and he was dying to get out of there, but he knew that leaving would be highly frowned upon. Sooo Dane is sitting at the bar and he hears a booming voice come from beside him: "I'll have whatever he's having. And put it on his tab." LMAO this broody man is one hawt alpha male. They start chatting and then they decide to leave the party and go have some fun.
