Alexis Fleming

Framed and Hung is a short and very sexy novella combining the real world with romance and the odd ghost. If you like your romance straight, don’t worry because the ghost is not a big plot point, but adds a bit more fun to a story that is full of drama, crazy moments and naked bodies.

Fleming doesn’t waste time – in the opening scene, hero Jake is caught very short by heroine Zoe in nothing but his birthday suit. For a staid banker, Jake has a habit of wandering around with next to nothing on and Zoe has the luck of often finding him that way! The tension sizzles between the two from the first page and never lets up. In between his mother’s matchmaking, Jake’s running for local council and happens to have an opponent that’s digging for dirty tricks to bring him down. Zoe’s renovating the family’s old inn on the outskirts of Alice Springs and even a ghost is trying to bring her together with Jake. Just as it seems that everyone has what they want, a big misunderstanding between the two has all bets off. Zoe’s revenge is big in more ways than one but has ramifications that will hurt Jake’s election hopes – can she redeem him and finish off what they started?

This novella deserves a super sexy rating – there’s frank sexy discussions between Zoe and Jake and even the ghost isn’t all the pure (even though he can’t talk, he likes to pinch women’s bottoms)! It’s probably responsible for some of the high temperatures seen in Alice Springs (just about in the middle of Australia)! I would have liked to have seen a little more detail about Alice Springs, as it’s a gorgeous desert town but I also enjoyed that the focus was on the characters and their interactions.

If you’re looking to heat up your house this winter, try Framed and Hung!

What's a girl to do when a sexy builder offers to be her tutor--in the bedroom? Three times dumped for not being adventurous in bed, Beth-Ann Harris is ripe for a steamy affair. Particularly when the man in question is Riley Osborne--the same guy who once told Beth-Ann she'd never turned him on. Beth-Ann decides it's time to make Riley sit up and take notice. Problem is she didn't expect to find herself falling in love, a terrifying idea for a girl who equates love with giving up control. Riley Osborne loves women, but after his parent's sorry attempt at marriage--and his own experience with a fiance from hell--he'd be damn stupid to stick his head in that noose again. But that doesn't mean he can't play. When he arrives to fix Beth-Ann's ceiling and she asks if he's come to plug her hole, he quickly offers his services in the bedroom as well. It's all meant to be a bit of fun but before he knows it, he's committed and is demanding she make an honest man of him. Will Beth-Ann be able to relinquish control enough to realize it's better to have a man handy than a handyman?… (mais)
