Where do you go when you've lost your drive, ambition, mojo? Perhaps the place you knew you last had it?

She should be happy; she was living her dream. So why was she bored? Michelle Nelson knew something was missing which was the only reason she was returning to her hometown of Carbon Hill for the annual Horseradish Festival. Although competing in a scavenger hunt with Ryan Slater might prove to be more challenging than finding her mojo.

Ryan Slater had been the love of her life and their first night together was supposed to have been amazing. To say it wasn't would be a huge understatement. There was nothing for it, though; she had promised her best friend. She was over Ryan, right? So what if he was even sexier now than when they were in high school. She could control her reaction to him.

Ryan had never forgotten Michelle. He'd been awed by her pursuit and wanted to make their first night unforgettable. Just not unforgettable that way. Now she's returned to Carbon Hill. He only has to change her mind about him and win her heart. On second thought, winning the Scavenger Hunt might be easier.

Wow! Ex, Why and Me is entrancing! Carr never ceases to entertain and thrall. Michelle and Ryan have a unique chemistry and a past that is both awkward and touching. They also have to face their own demons before they can make something happen between them. Flawless writing and superb characters make Ex, Why and Me Carr's best work to date.

This anthology is a delight to the senses. Susanna Carr has managed in Six Weeks to Sensuality to show how a woman can find her own brand of sensuality with the right man. The story touched my heart as I could easily identify with the heroine.

In Code Pink you find yourself wanting to solve the codes to get Brian Matthews and Jennifer Clark back together. When the issue is who is the better code breaker comes between them, the only way to get past that point is to have a showdown-- winner take all.

Caroline and Joe have a problem-- each other stars in the other's fantasies. In Fantasies are Forever, both of them decide to take a chance on their fantasies-- with only one hoping for it to be more than just lust. Will the other realize there's more between them than red hot desire?

Susanna Carr has caught my attention with her anthology and though I'd have liked to get more into the setting of Fantasies are Forever, I found this a great read with my busy schedule. If you like hot romance, a touch of something different, and a group of stories that challenge you-- then Wicked Women 101 is what you're looking for.
