One-night stands are Carson Scott’s specialty. Well they were, but after one hot twist in a nightclub supply closet Carson is suddenly thinking of more than one night. He plans on turning over a new leaf and if he ever runs into his sexy closet partner again he won’t be letting her get away a second time.

Holly Lawson has just been dumped and a hot romp with a stranger seems like a great way to sure up her flagging self esteem. With work and family demanding her attention Holly doesn’t have time to invest in another relationship that will lead to nowhere. But when her one-night stand turns up weeks later Holly can’t believe he wants to see her again.

Holly is more than happy to have a fling but Carson has other ideas. He wants to take their fling one step further into a relationship and he’s not above using every weapon in his arsenal, he’s a Navy SEAL and they play to win.

Heat of Passion by Elle Kennedy is a hot, sexy read that leaves you breathless. I loved the tug of war between Holly and Carson. Neither of them can deny the chemistry and the sex is hot but Holly won’t give more than sex and Carson wants all of her. As they struggle with their opposing views we’re treated to a fun, emotional read. Ms. Kennedy brings both Carson’s desire for more and Holly’s conflict with her demanding family together well, to deliver a story that has you holding your breath and wishing for the happy ever after. Heat of Passion is part of Ms. Kennedy’s Out of Uniform series and I’m looking forward to reading more in the future.
