Vicki has a reader question for us, and I was SO sure I had read it and guessed it (these are one of my favorite tropes). But I was wrong. So… YAY!!! That means we get to make a list of guesses!! Er… unless someone comes up with it right off the bat. 😉

She asks:

Book Review – Girl Underwater by Claire Kells

Girl Underwater
A survival-against-all-odds situation merging into a potential love story that develops ever so subtly. So subtly, in fact, that while you have a feeling that a bond will be forged forever (an obvious bond due to tremendous circumstance), I didn’t became fully invested in them. Normally, a story such as this one would keep me reading late into the night, unable to put it down, but this one was… slow going.

And we didn’t spend enough time there for me to fully connect). read more

It’s a total nightmare! Especially those where “they” are stuck in some sort of a “deserted” area. Whether it be on a deserted island (plane crash or sinking boat), completely snowed in, in a bare-minimum cabin, or even stuck in an elevator, there has been some exciting, scary and especially STEAMY intensity going on. read more
