Blurb/Summary:

Jade’s law-enforcing, gun-toting relatives scare off every potential love interest she has in the small town of Moon River, Montana, leaving her frustrated and sexually deprived. Until bad boy Vin D’Angelo roars into town on a bad-ass motorcycle…along with his devilishly handsome friend and business partner, Noah Riley.

For one night of her very sheltered life, Jade gets everything she wants, needs and desires during an intense ménage with the two men. Come morning, though, it’s Vin’s sinfully delicious body she still craves—making him more than worth the wait.

Unfortunately, Vin has come to Moon River to reveal secrets he’s kept for eight years. Shocking revelations that threaten his new bond with Jade when she discovers who he really is…and how intricately he’s entwined with her painful past.

Review:

Worth the Wait by Ava McKnight hit so close to home it was uncanny. No I didn’t have Vin or a Noah...but I did have over protective brothers and cousins and I totally could relate to the difficulty poor Jade had with entering a relationship much less having sex. It truly sucked. So when I saw this blurb I had to read of this emotionally starved, sex starved, lonely heroine who’d had enough and decided to rock the boat and live her life on her terms. I commend her on how she stood up to her family in her own town.

Vin the sexy man was not a one dimensional type a guy but multifaceted. Every time I thought I had him pinned down, he threw out another fault that led to such a great trait I thought I’d die swooning over him. I enjoyed the hard hot passion between he and Jade but more his determination to right a wrong that never really was. Seeing how he went from boy to man and his past life altering traumas had me falling for him.

Now Noah what a fine piece of man, and I can’t wait for his story. I was glad he didn’t overly intrude on what wasn’t his but obliged just a bit. He’s the type of friend every guy should have.

The secondary characters were a lively bunch and I can’t wait to see what crops up. Maybe even if Jade’s papa finds himself a strong heroine too.

J.T.’s just looking for a little R&R on the remote Caribbean island…until he meets Jewel. A beautiful topless woman in paradise is one temptation that’s simply too irresistible to pass up.

But a mainlander on holiday has to return to the real world someday…doesn’t he?

Publisher’s Note: This story was previously published elsewhere under the title Summer Temptation and has been revised for Ellora’s Cave.

Review:

Jewel is content with her life, who wouldn't be with her life as it is on the island, but she has one rule she follows herself, and in the ten years she has been there she has never broken and that is never date a vacationer, that is until the extremely sexy JT shows up for little R & R.

JT needs a break from his extremely busy life, so when he takes a vacation to the islands he is determined to have a little fun with one very beautiful island woman. What he doesn't expect is even with all the sexual tension and games they play is to not only want to stay, but to want to play for keeps with Jewel.

Jewel must decide if she can really trust JT enough to take the leap with her heart.

Ava McKnight has written a funny and sexy story with enough sexual tension to make your heart skip a beat; you will enjoy this story from the beginning till the end.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug

Blurb/Summary:

Sophie has never had an orgasm. Too much guilt and a horrific teenage tragedy have left her self-conscious about her body. But her two roommates and best friends, Sam and Jordan, find Sophie beyond desirable. Together, they set a steamy seduction into play that awakens Sophie’s passion…and her love for Sam.

Both men are more than willing to help satisfy her sexually. To finally free herself from the pains of the past and accept love in her life, Sophie must reveal her darkest secret to Sam. And hope he returns her love, even knowing her deepest flaws.

Publisher’s Note: This story was previously published elsewhere under the title A Subtle Seduction and has been revised for Ellora’s Cave.

Review:

Satisfying Sophie takes you on an incredible emotional journey. This is a wonderful story of how love and friendship can help heal personal and physical tragedies.

Ava McKnight weaves a spell-binding tale that is revealed bit by bit. We get to see and feel Sophie’s emotional pain as her failed relationship spurs her on to reveal a little about herself to Jordan and Sam. Jordan and Sam being the best friends they are; let Sophie come to terms with her pain in her own way, but they help push her along with their unconditional love and support.

Love is evident throughout the story and especially in the sexual encounters. The relationship between the three friends is very sensual and intimate, which is sustained in a mutually caring and loving environment.

This is a great story that you won’t want to put down until it’s finished. Based on this story, I would seek other creations by Ava McKnight.
