review 1: What an interesting short story! I had difficulty rating it, so my review will explain the 4 stars.This was a 99 cent book, which i purchased months ago, and rediscovered on my Kindle this afternoon, never read. It tells the story of Lise, who has filed for divorce and left her controlling husband. She gets a flat tire and stops in a bar parking lot where Donovan helps her change the tire. She and Donovan get to know each other better and hit it off. The seduction and first love scene is slow and sultry, blazing hot and oh so memorable. Turns out Donovan is managing the bar for a friend who is in jail for a DUI. What should be a one-night-stand gets complicated, due to the mutual attraction. Donovan is... mmm... yummy.This story was excellent in so many ways. It was w... moreell written, and the characters were compelling. The seductive sex scenes were descriptive and memorable. I was frustrated with the somewhat abrupt ending to the book, but it was only 99cents and was advertised as a short story, so I can't fault the author for something they stated up front.This book would make an excellent novel. It certainly is worth reading, if you are looking for a fun short read.
review 2: Short sweet story about second chances and finding love in the most unexpected places. I would have liked to know more about Donovan and his ex. There was a huge six month gap in which their relationship developed. How did she deal with his fame? How did he deal with her ex husband looking for her? I would also have liked an epilogue to find out whether or not they made it in "the real world", as Lise put it. less

The only flaw is shortness. I wouldn't have minded a showdown between her and her ex-husband :)
