Hot and Steamy and Heartwarming????

I’ve always enjoyed Rachel’s writing.  She is sharp and snarky and her characters are just plain fun to be around.  However, leave it to Rachel to blindside me when I thought I was marching down the field to the finish.  Image result for quarterback sackHer inclusion of a sincerely touching scene left me in tears.  I was so pleased how this story turned out.  The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Rachel’s gift is more than just giving us hot bodies, hot scenes, and playful banter.  She can write a story that will touch you and entertain you on so many levels.
