Descripción editorial
Fate intervenes on behalf of love when characters are unexpectedly stuck together. With too much time and an irresistible attraction anything could happen.
In EF5 by Kris Bryant, wedding photographer Alyssa Bates is running late to a job she desperately needs when officer Katy Emerson pulls her over for speeding. She gets a warning from the sexy woman in uniform and the sirens alerting them to an approaching tornado. Their only option is to shelter in an abandoned diner where they must resist temptation and fight for their lives.
In Trapped Tycoon by Amanda Radley, trainee investor Clara Foster spends her weekend at the office catching up on paperwork when the ice queen owner Francesca Burford arrives. Francesca doesn’t know who the shy employee is, and she doesn’t much care, until they attempt to leave the office at the same time and get trapped in an elevator.
In Wings Over Boston by Emily Smith, flight paramedic Ryland Matthews and pilot Tess Goodwin have an uncomplicated past that included a no-strings tryst before they went their separate ways and never looked back. That is, until a medical emergency and an unlikely coincidence leaves them grounded together in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do but relive history and ignite the passion neither can forget.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Close quarters lead to love in this uneven anthology of lesbian romance novellas. Bryant's opener, "EF5," is by far the weakest entry. Missouri wedding photographer Alyssa has just been pulled over for speeding by sexy sheriff Katy when a tornado hits and the pair seek shelter in a closed-down diner. Bryant devotes excruciating detail to the logistics of every minor beat as the heroines weather the storm and help survivors, and the pair's mutual attraction feels out of place in the crisis. In contrast, Radley's "Trapped Tycoon" fires on all cylinders, stranding 26-year-old trainee investor Clara Foster in a stopped elevator with her "boss's boss's boss," 53-year-old Francesca Burford, Clara's former idol and sexual awakening—who happens to have just fired her. Their ensuing conversation is so replete with humor, genuine emotion, and palpable connection that readers will have no trouble rooting for their romance. Smith's "Wings over Boston" is the only offering to turn up the heat, reuniting flight medic Ryland Matthews with her former flame, helicopter pilot Tess Goodwin, on the job. Inevitably, a minor mechanical failure leaves them stranded overnight in Martha's Vineyard—where they have no choice but to share a hotel room. It's a bumpy ride, but fans of the forced proximity trope should take a look.
